FDCPA - debt collector v. creditor - initial communication


McDermott v. Nationstar Mortgage –  EDPa. – November 2015

 


 

Defendant’s motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s FDCPA action denied, because

 

            - defendant acquired loan while it was in default, therefore it was a debt collector

 

            - defendant’s initial communication did not identify itself as a debt collector attempting to collect a debt.
