FDCPA: Contacting Represented Consumers

Schmitt v. FMA Alliance, Inc. Court File No. 03-4057 (8th Cir. Feb. 9, 2005) Creditor's knowledge of attorney representation cannot be imputed to debt collector who later attempts to collect debt. Description from the 8th Circuit's website: "Creditor bank had knowledge that debtor was represented by counsel. That knowledge is not imputed to debt collection agency. Debtor must plead actual knowledge under Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by debt collector of debtor's representation. District court's dismissal without prejudice of FDCPA claim is affirmed."
