In July of 2014, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed, in Crawford v. LVNV Funding, that a debt collector can be liable under the FDCPA for misconduct in connection with a consumer’s bankruptcy.  In the Crawford case, LVNV Funding submitted a “proof of claim” on a debt that was time barred.  The Court held that this behavior was actionable.  The full opinion is available for free at http://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca11/13-12389/13-12389-2014-07-10.html
