Tinsley v. Integrity Financial Partners, Inc.

Dist. Ct. did not err in granting defendant-debt collector's motion for summary judgment in FDCPA action alleging that defendant's telephone call to debtor's lawyer about outstanding debt violated section 1692c(c) of FDCPA where lawyer had previously instructed defendant to cease all further collection activities. Debtor's lawyer was not within definition of consumer for purposes of coverage under section 1692c. Accordingly, defendant could communicate freely with debtor's lawyer about instant debt even though debt collector could not speak directly to debtor about said debt.
