Stratton v. Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC

Stratton v. Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC, 2014 U.S. App. LEXIS 20517, 2014 FED App. 0266P (6th Cir.):

Stratton holds that a debt collector cannot recover interest on a debt for a time period before it acquired the debt. The original creditor’s waiver of interest is binding on the debt collector. Stratton construes Kentucky’s usury statute as a consumer-protection statute rather than creating rights for creditors.
