Outcome
The district court's dismissal of the FDCPA complaint was affirmed. The Eleventh Circuit held that the law firm was not a 'debt collector' under the FDCPA because it was enforcing a security interest (mortgage) rather than collecting a debt, and therefore the firm's letter was not subject to FDCPA restrictions.
