United States Ninth Circuit

In an appeal from a judgment of the district court and an award of statutory damages under the under both the FDCPA and the Rosenthal Act, California Civil Code section 1788 et seq., judgment is affirmed where the court correctly granted summary judgment in favor of plaintiffs because defendant's letters to plaintiffs constituted false, deceptive, or misleading representations in connection with the collection of debts, and where the Rosenthal Act permits class actions while permitting class-plaintiffs to recover statutory damages under both the FDCPA and Rosenthal Act does not violate the FDCPA.
