United States Second Circuit

In a putative class action contending that defendant’s debt collection tactics violated the Federal Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), 15 U.S.C. sections 1692 et seq., the district court’s judgment is: 1) affirmed where defendant’s failure to include the name of a person to call back on its call-back letter to consumers was not an FDCPA violation; 2) affirmed where the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying class certification; and 3) vacated where plaintiff’s FDCPA claim meets the low bar required to meet the requirements of federal-question jurisdiction.
