1Opinion of the Court
ILANA DIAMOND ROVNER, Circuit Judge.
The question presented by these appeals, one of first impression in the circuits, is whether an assessment owed to a homeowners or condominium association qualifies as a “debt” under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (the “FDCPA” or “Act”), 15 U.S.C. §§ 1692 et seq. Guided by our recent decision in Bass v. Stolper, Koritzinsky, Brewster & Neider, S.C., 111 F.3d 1322 (7th Cir.1997), which interprets the term “debt” under that Act, we hold that it does. We therefore reverse the district court’s contrary judgment and remand for further proceedings.
