  • holding that the one-year limitation period to challenge a debt-collection lawsuit runs from the date of service of process
  • holding that a mistake of state law could be a bona fide error
  • explaining that Erie analysis can be used whenever the rule of decision requires determining what a state’s highest court would do
  • rejecting tying FDCPA violation for statute of limitations purposes to filing of the complaint because that “could cause the limitations period to run out before there was any opportunity for the debtor to bring suit under the FDCPA”
  • whether-collection is “permitted by law” is determined by Utah state law
