§ 1. Definitions, Scope, and Outline

C.A.10, 2022. Subsec. (a)(8) quot. in ftn. (quoting § 1(a)(8) of T.D. No. 2, 2022). Student-loan debtor
filed a putative class action against debt collector hired by creditor to collect his debt, alleging that debt
collector violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by sending a wage-garnishment letter to his
employer that deceptively appeared as though it were sent by creditor. The district court granted debt
collector's motion to dismiss. Affirming, this court held that no reasonable consumer would have been
materially misled by the letter; even if a reasonable consumer would believe that creditor sent the letter,
debtor failed to demonstrate how that would frustrate the reasonable consumer's ability to respond. The
court indicated that it found the definition of reasonable set forth in Restatement of the Law,
Consumer  Contracts § 1 helpful in determining consumer understanding. Tavernaro v. Pioneer Credit
Recovery, Inc., 43 F.4th 1062, 1072.

§ 7. Deception

C.A.10, 2022. Rptrs' Note quot. in ftn. (quoting Rptrs' Note to § 7 of T.D. No. 2, 2022). Student-loan
debtor filed a putative class action against debt collector hired by creditor to collect his debt, alleging
that debt collector violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by sending a wage-garnishment letter
to his employer that deceptively appeared as though it were sent by creditor. The district court granted
debt collector's motion to dismiss. Affirming, this court held that no reasonable consumer would have
been materially misled by the letter; even if a reasonable consumer would believe that creditor sent the
letter, debtor failed to demonstrate how that would frustrate the reasonable consumer's ability to
respond. The court noted that Restatement of the Law, Consumer Contracts § 7 also understood
deception to be viewed from the perspective of the reasonable consumer. Tavernaro v. Pioneer Credit
Recovery, Inc., 43 F.4th 1062, 1072.
