- finding allegations that “the affidavit contained false or deceptive representations about the status and character of the debt in question” to not be “so fatally flawed that [plaintiff’s] claims under Sections 1692e and e(10) must be dismissed”
- knowledge that information in affidavit is false as to specifics of debt is more than lack of paper trail
