Jeffery A. Wendt v. Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s summary‑judgment ruling for the Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, holding that the bank was not a debt collector subject to the FDCPA, could not be liable for the law firm’s alleged FDCPA violations, did not violate the Alaska Unfair Trade Practices Act, and that the alleged notice deficiencies did not make the foreclosure sale inherently unfair or unreasonable. The court also held that the appellant’s claim regarding failure to notify a subsequent lienholder was waived on appeal.
