Sixth Circuit Holds Consumer Has No Standing to Bring FDCPA Claim

Consumer Financial Services Law

The Sixth Circuit recently made clear its position that “Congress cannot override the baseline requirement[s] of Article III of the U.S. Constitution by labeling the violation of any requirements of a statute a cognizable injury.” In Hagy v. Demers & Adams, 2018 U.S. App. LEXIS 3710, 882 F.3d 616 (6 th Cir. 2018), a letter from a law firm advising the consumer that the creditor would not seek recovery of the deficiency balance resulted in an FDCPA claim.
