U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Pelfrey v. Educational Credit Management Corp., 208 F.3d 945 (11th Cir. 2000)
2000 U.S. App. LEXIS 6272; 2000 WL 353083

Pelfrey v. Educational Credit Management Corp.

Opinion

PER CURIA1Y1:

We affirm the judgment of the district court granting the defendant’s motion for judgment as a matter of law on the ground that the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692, et seq. (1994), does not apply to the defendant, because the defendant is a “person collecting or attempting to collect any debt owed or due or asserted to be owed or due another to the extent such activity ... is incidental to a bona fide fiduciary obligation.... ” 15 U.S.C. § 1692a(6)(F)(i). See Pelfrey v. Educational Credit Management Corp., 71 F.Supp.2d 1161, 1172-74, 1179-80 (N.D.Ala. 1999).

AFFIRMED.
