    By Paul R. Niehaus and Emily B. Kirsch | May 10, 2018

    Recent developments in the Second Circuit's interpretation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act have undermined the security of the safe harbor previously established by the court, and have created a situation whereby almost any debt collection letter is susceptible to claims that it violates FDCPA.
