I know I saw it somewhere but where in the fdcpa or anywhere else does it say that if an OC is made aware of the violations of the CA working for them and does nothing then they can also be found liable for fdcpa violations along with the CA.
I have no clue. But it is an interesting theory. Gun makers have been sued for the actions of the person using the gun they manufactured. Wonder if it would work on OC?
Its not in the FDCPA. There was a consent agreement with American Family Publishers, which is what you are talking about. The FTC found they violated part of the FTC Act about unfair and deceptive trade practices. Here is an opinion letter that mentions it: http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fdcpa/letters/douglass.htm The FTC Press Release: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/predawn/F93/amerfamil5.htm And, a really interesting link from the web: http://www.resourcemanagement.com/FTC_talks.html
