CAI Webinar: Obduskey and the FDCPA: How Broad Is the Supreme Court's Recent Ruling on Nonjudicial Foreclosures?

Wed, May 22, 1:00pm – 2:00pm add to calendar 22-05-2019 13:00 22-05-2019 14:00 America/Chicago CAI Webinar: Obduskey and the FDCPA: How Broad Is the Supreme Court's Recent Ruling on Nonjudicial Foreclosures? The United States Supreme Court recently issued its decision in Obduskey v. McCarthy & Holthus LLP, holding that a law firm that sent a letter in connection with a nonjudicial foreclosure proceeding was not acting as a "debt collector" under the FDCPA. But questions remain about the breadth of the holding in Obduskey. Does it stand for the broad proposition that no letter sent in connection with a nonjudicial foreclosure proceeding is ever subject to the FDCPA? Or is its holding much narrower? In this webinar, hear the perspective of two leading FDCPA defense attorneys who submitted an amicus curiae (friend-of-the-court) brief to the Supreme Court on the Obduskey matter.
