MEMORANDUM
EDUARDO C. ROBRENO, District Judge.
Plaintiff Margaret Torres (“Plaintiff’), on behalf of herself and a putative class, brings this action against Asset Acceptance, LLC (“Defendant”) alleging violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”), 15 U.S.C. § 1692. Defendant has moved to dismiss. This case requires the Court to confront, in the context of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the interaction and apparent conflict between two Congressionally created statutory schemes: the FDCPA and the Bankruptcy Code. For the reasons that follow, the Court will grant the motion to dismiss.1
