Beuter v. Canyon State Professional Services, Inc.
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Canyon State Professional Services, Inc. and Ronald Wilson appeal the district
However, we recently decided Clark v. Capital Credit Services, 460 F.3d 1162, 1175-76 (9th Cir. 2006), which holds that the FDCPA imposes strict liability on debt collectors. Under Clark, Canyon State and Wilson are liable for even unintentional violations of the FDCPA. Because Canyon State and Wilson did not raise the “bona fide error” affirmative defense provided under § 1692k(c) of the FDCPA and do not contest the fact that their actions constituted “unintentional” violations of §§ 1692e and 1692f, the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Beuter was entirely proper.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
