District Court (Wis.) Says California’s Rosenthal Act Does Not Protect Wisconsin Residents

In Nagan v. Solutions, No. 19-C-170, 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 155492 (E.D. Wis. Aug. 27, 2020), Judge Griesbach held that Wisconsin residents are not protected by California’s Rosenthal Act.

The Rosenthal Act Plaintiff also asserts a claim under the Rosenthal Act, California’s counterpart to the FDCPA that protects residents of California. Because Plaintiff was never a resident of California, the Act does not apply, here. Accordingly, Defendant’s motion for summary judgment will be granted with respect to this claim.
