N.D. Ill., E. Div.
Holding: 
Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in granting defendant-debt collector's motion for summary judgment in action alleging that document purporting to be actual copy of credit card statement that was attached to defendant's lawsuit seeking to collect on plaintiff's debt violated section 1692 of FDCPA where plaintiff alleged that said document was misleading to state court judge. FDCPA regulates communications directed at consumer, but does not cover allegedly misleading communications directed to state court judges.
