Mealey's (June 6, 2019, 2:21 PM EDT) -- CHICAGO — After holding that a law firm pursued a foreclosure and deficiency judgment action against borrowers that was prohibited by state law, a federal judge in Illinois on June 3 granted summary judgment for the borrowers on their claims for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and denied summary judgment for the firm on the affirmative defense that it was shielded from liability by the FDCPA’s bona fide error defense (John G. Tevere, et al. v. Weltman, Weinberg & Reis, Co., L.P.A., No. 1:17-cv-2455, N.D. Ill., 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 92738)....
