United States Seventh Circuit

District court properly dismissed claims brought under the Truth in Lending Act and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Purchasers of delinquent accounts were not required to send consumers monthly billing statements, and selling those accounts, in turn, to a collection agency did not make them "debt collectors."
