Ballard Spahr Alert: Sixth Circuit: FDCPA Requirement to Cease Collection Pending Debt Validation Can
Include Third-Party Activities
In a matter of first impression, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has ruled that the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) requirement for a debt collector to "cease collection of the debt" after receipt of a consumer's dispute of the debt includes stopping third-party activities "set into motion" by the collector. Although the decision only involved statutorily required pre-foreclosure activities performed by third parties, plaintiffs' attorneys are likely to use the decision to argue that the FDCPA requires a debt collector—after receiving a debtor's dispute—to stop any collection activities that it initiated, even if those activities are being conducted by agents or third parties.
