193562P.pdf   04/14/2021  Dina Klein  v.  Affiliated Group, Inc.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-3562
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Shepherd and Stras, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Plaintiff's creditor 
   hospital hired defendant Affiliated to collect her debt to it, and 
   Affiliated's assignment of the contact to defendant CMLP created a 
   contract between the creditor hospital and CMLP; the letter CMLP sent 
   saying it could collect the debt owed the hospital was, therefore, true 
   and did not violate 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1692e; neither Affiliated nor CMLOP 
   were required to comply with an agreement between the creditor hospital 
   and the State of Minnesota concerning billing regulations, and the letters 
   the two organizations sent plaintiff are outside the scope of the 
   Minnesota Treasury Department's regulations.
