LexisNexis® Financial Services Litigation News

NEWARK, N.J. - A federal judge in New Jersey on Dec. 27 denied a collections firm's motion to dismiss a Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) case, in part because not all FDCPA claims are barred by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Tara Elms Henderson v. Weinstein & Riley, P.S., P.C., and Kenneth Steven Jannette, No. 11-2607, D. N.J.; 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 148770).
