Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
Dist. Ct. did not err in dismissing for failure to state cause of action plaintiffs’ complaints alleging that defendant’s wage-garnishment actions violated Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) because they were filed in wrong venue. Ct. of Appeals found that instant wage-garnishment actions are actually proceedings against employer, as opposed to debtor, and thus are not covered proceedings under FDCPA.
