District Court Says Plaintiff Has Standing in FDCPA Envelope Case, in Spite of Spokeo Argument

A recent opinion issued by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in Michael v. HOVG, LLC (United States District Court, S.D. Florida, Case No. 16-62651) ruled that a plaintiff had standing to allege that collection agency HOVG, LLC violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act (FCCPA) by displaying “certain language” and a Quick Response (QR) code through the transparent window of an envelope sent to the plaintiff.
