Cross v. Risk Management Alternatives, Inc.
374 F.Supp.2d 649
N.D.Ill.,2005.
June 22, 2005

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER


BUCKLO, District Judge.
Plaintiff Jennifer J. Cross sues defendant Risk Management Alternatives, Inc. (RMA) under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692 et seq. (the Act). Ms. Cross seeks relief under three sections of the Act: § 1692e, § 1692f, and § 1692c(a)(2). RMA is a large debt collection agency with numerous offices across the continental United States. Before the court are cross-motions for summary judgment. Ms. Cross requests judgment only on her first claim, the one in which she invokes § 1692e. RMA asks for judgment on all three of plaintiff's claims. For the reasons stated below, I deny Ms. Cross' motion and grant the motion of RMA.

Summary judgment is proper if the record shows that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact, and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c). A genuine issue for trial exists only when “the evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the nonmoving party.â€
