Seneca violated Plaintiff’s rights by sending debt collection mail to her home, making phone calls to Plaintiff’s personal phone and 13 Case 3:16-cv-02437-BRM-LHG Document 48 Filed 12/05/16 Page 20 of 25 PageID: 485 sending representatives to her house who placed notices on her front door. All of Seneca’s conduct occurred after it became affirmatively prohibited under 15 U.S.C. §1692c from contacting Plaintiff directly. This adds to the likelihood that a reasonable fact finder could determine Seneca’s conduct had the natural consequence to harass, oppress or abuse the plaintiff.

The record of Sutton demonstrates that BSI could have complied with 12 C.F.R. §1024.36 and 15 U.S.C. §1692c, but instead chose not too. CONCLUSION Plaintiff has gone beyond the minimum standard in setting forth facts together with proofs to allege that BSI has violated the Fair Debt collection Practices Act.

As such, Plaintiff has substantially failed to state a claim under 15 U.S.C. § 1692e. CONCLUSION Because Plaintiff has failed to allege BSI has violated 15 U.S.C. § 1692c, d, or e, BSI respectfully asks the Court to grant its motion and dismiss Plaintiff’s claims against BSI.

As Peak, Durand, and Winters make clear, the consequences of a letter that was addressed to Plaintiff's counsel being opened by a third party in violation of federal law could not have been reasonably foreseen by Defendant, and thus Plaintiff's Complaint does not state a claim for a violation of either 15 U.S.C. § 1692b or § 1692c of the FDCPA. Notwithstanding the fact that Plaintiff has not pled sufficiently that either statute is applicable, this alleged letter was still not sent to a third party in a way that would violate 15 U.S.C. § 1692c(b) or § 1692b, as it was addressed to Plaintiff's attorney, a party specifically addressed in 15 U.S.C. § 1692c(b). Plaintiff makes no allegations "before the court that the Defendant attempted to communicate with a third party" about Plaintiff's debt.

Finally, the FDCPA contains specific instructions on how to request that a debt collector cease communications. Under 15 U.S.C. § 1692c(c), “if a consumer notifies a debt collector in writing that the consumer… wishes the debt collector to cease further communication with the consumer, the debt collector shall not communicate further with the consumer…” (emphasis added). Trinidad has not sent any written communications asking that Pioneer cease communications.

An examination of the plain language § 1692c(c) reveals that it was not intended to prevent all communications with a consumer after the consumer refuses to pay a debt. See 15 U.S.C. § 1692c(c). Had that been Congress’s intent, it would not have included the three enumerated exceptions in § 1692c(c)(1)-(3).

It is true that when a debt collector knows a consumer is represented about one debt, but has no knowledge that the consumer is represented regarding other debts, the collector may continue to contact the consumer about those other debts. See 15 U.S.C. § 1692c(a)(2); see also Graziano v. Harrison, 950 F.2d 107, 113 (3d Cir. 1991). However, that defense does not apply to Medicredit.
