Taylor v. Fin. Recovery Servs., Inc.

Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit

Decided March 29, 2018No. 17-1650-cv; August Term, 2017PublishedCited by 66 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Calabresi, Circuit Judge:

Section 1692e of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act makes it unlawful for a debt collector to "use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt." 15 U.S.C. § 1692e. This case asks whether it is misleading within the meaning of Section 1692e for a debt collection letter to state the amount of a debt without disclosing that the debt, which once accrued interest or fees, no longer does so. We hold that such a notice complies with Section 1692e and affirm the May 19, 2017 judgment of the district court.
