United States Third Circuit

In a class action under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) alleging that defendant sent deceptive debt-collection letters, judgment for defendant on the pleadings is reversed and remanded where the "least sophisticated debtor" reading defendant's letter might reasonably interpret it as being from an attorney when in fact it was not.
