Question:
Andrew Ladick brought suit against Gerald J. Van Gemert, an attorney, alleging that Van Gemert had sent him a letter on behalf of a California condominium association demanding payment of a past due condominium assessment fee. He alleged that the letter violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) because it failed to give a "validation notice" and did not expressly disclose that Van Gemert was attempting to collect a debt and that any information obtained would be used for that purpose. The trial court found that the condominium assessment that Van Gemert sought to collect was not a "debt" under the FDCPA and granted summary judgment to Van Gemert. Ladick appealed. On appeal, Van Gemert argued that a condominium assessment does not involve an extension of credit and is more like a tax than a debt. Should the FDCPA apply to this transaction?

Hi there! Are you looking for a committed, reliable, and enthusiastic tutor? Well, teaching and learning are more of a second nature to me, having been raised by parents who are both teachers. I have done plenty of studying and lots of learning on many exciting and challenging topics. All these experiences have influenced my decision to take on the teaching role in various capacities. As a tutor, I am looking forward to getting to understand your needs and helping you achieve your academic goals. I'm highly flexible and contactable. I am available to work on short notice since I only prefer to work with very small and select groups of students.
I have been teaching students for 5 years now in different subjects and it's truly been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I have also done one-to-one tutoring with 100+ students and helped them achieve great subject knowledge.
