Syllabus

Summary Judgment Venue Validation Requirements Federal Debt Collection Practices Act. The debt validation requirements of 15 U.S.C. 1692g(a) are triggered by an initial communication. Under 15 U.S.C. 1692g(d), formal pleadings do not constitute an initial communication that triggers the notice requirements of 15 U.S.C. 1692g(a). Further, venue was proper in this case because the action was filed in the county where the defendant resides.
