On XX/XX/XXXX I received a Notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX stating they were initiating foreclosure proceedings and the Notice stated that " The following information is provided to you as required by the Federal Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ... This is an attempt to collect a debt, this is a communication from a debt collector ... '' On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a letter via certified mail to XXXX XXXX. XXXX, XXXX requesting verification and validation of the alleged debt. To date, I have never received verification and validation of the alleged debt. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX filed a non-judicial foreclosure action against me to dispossess me of my personal private property without a legal right to do so. In XX/XX/XXXX, I filed an FDCPA claim against XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX and their employees for the illegally filed non-judicial foreclosure action. On XX/XX/XXXX, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, Appeal Number 15-1444, determined that XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX and its employees were " debt collectors. '' In the XX/XX/XXXX opinion it states " In sum, we hold that ____ complaint adequately alleges that the XXXX XXXX and the Substitute Trustees were debt collectors and that their actions in pursuing foreclosure constituted a step in collecting debt and thus debt collection activity that is regulated by the FDCPA. '' On XX/XX/XXXX, in a later Memorandum and Order the judge stated I sufficiently stated a claim under 15 USC 1692g ( b ). The judge is now stating the XXXX XXXX and substitute trustees never verified and validated the alleged debt back in XX/XX/XXXX and had no lawful nor legal right to file the non-judicial foreclosure action without verifying and validating the alleged debt.
