Midland Funding LLC v. Johnson
US Supreme Court on 5/15/17 issued a decision in Midland Funding LLC v. Johnson holding that Debtor Collectors That Pursue Stale Debt In Bankruptcy cases, by filing a proof of claim on a debt that is beyond the state law statute of limitations, do NOT violate the FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act) federal consumer protection statute. US Supreme Court decision reversed an US Circuit Court, Eleventh Circuit, decision that had held that it DID violated the FDCPA for creditors to file proofs of claim in a bankruptcy case, that were past the non-bankruptcy law statute of limitations.
