Debt Collectors & FDCPA Violations You Need to Know
Includes Full-Length Instructional Video, Document Downloads, Key Points & Practical Strategies
This analysis examines the Rocky v. Med-1 Solutions case where the Indiana Court of Appeals overturned a district court ruling based on a debt collector’s misinterpretation of consumer correspondence. The case highlights the critical distinction between cease and desist letters (15 U.S.C. § 1692c) and validation requests (15 U.S.C. § 1692g), and how debt collectors’ legal mistakes can void their bona fide error defense. The court’s ruling established that mistakes of law (misinterpreting legal requirements) are not protected by the bona fide error defense, unlike mistakes of fact. This precedent strengthens consumer protection by holding debt collectors accountable for properly understanding and categorizing consumer communications, making precise language in dispute letters crucial for effective debt defense strategies.
