Eleventh Circuit limits its own precedent to say that pawn lenders aren’t entirely immune from bankruptcy.

The ‘conduct’ test in the Seventh Circuit, not the ‘accrual test,’ determines when a claim arose and whether it was discharged.

The Ninth Circuit leaves the door open for a bankruptcy court to sanction a misbehaving chapter 13 debtor before granting the debtor’s motion for voluntary dismissal.

The opinion tells plaintiffs what actions to take before filing suit to ensure constitutional standing to pursue a claim under the FDCPA.

Courts are split on whether chapter 13 effectively prohibits debtors from making voluntary contributions to 401(k) plans.
