How does this rule impact potential FCDPA violations regarding misrepresentation by a law firm representing a creditor? I.e misrepresentation by law firm that debt a belongs to Spouse 1 when it actually Spouse number 2?
Not in debt collection cases. When we sue the bad guys sometimes we will mediate cases. I know some states have somewhat mandatory mediation in debt collection cases but we don't have that in AL. Thanks for question and comment! John
I would not admit that the debt buyer owns the debt -- you can still talk about settlement without admitting Midland of Portfolio or whoever owns the debt. Even though an admission should NOT come up due to Rule 408, I prefer to not take the chance. :) Thanks for comment. John
