Background: Debtor brought action against creditor, alleging violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), and Virginia and Louisiana law. Creditor moved for summary judgment.

Holdings: The District Court, Hicks, J., held that:
(1) failure to properly name creditor as defendant in complaint was not fatal defect in pleadings;
(2) debtor's action for violation of the FDCPA accrued at the latest, for limitations purposes, when debtor's attorney sent first letter to creditor;
(3) equitable tolling of the limitations period did not apply to FDCPA action;
(4) TILA action accrued, for limitations purposes, on date that debtor received allegedly deceptive credit card solicitation;
(5) equitable tolling of limitations period did not apply to TILA action;
(6) debtor abandoned any claims against creditor for violation of Virginia law; and
(7) Court would decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over Louisiana law claims.

Motion granted.
