(United States Supreme Court) - In an action under the impartial Debt Collection Practices Act,15 U.
S.
C. sections 1692e and 1692f, arising out of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case in which a creditor filed a claim asserting that debtor owed a credit-card debt and noting that the last time any charge appeared on debtor's account was more than 10 years ago, or which exceeded the 6-year statute of limitations,the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals' decision that the FDPA applied to the case is reversed where the filing of a proof of claim that is obviously time barred is not a counterfeit, deceptive, and misleading,unfair, or unconscionable debt collection practice within the meaning of the impartial Debt Collection Practices Act.
