United States Second Circuit

Money owed as a result of theft is not an "obligation or alleged obligation of a consumer to pay money arising out of a transaction" and, therefore, does not constitute a "debt" for purposes of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), 15 U.S.C. section 1692a(5), thus the district court's judgment is affirmed.
