Facts

Plaintiff purchased a condominium in Cleveland, Ohio in 1984. He signed to mortgage security agreements. Defendant is an Ohio law firm engaged by the Resolution Trust Corporation ('RTC') to foreclose on the property and collect the mortgage debt owed by Plaintiff. In September 1991, Defendant filed a foreclosure action on behalf of RTC against Plaintiff in the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga County, Ohio. An employee of D spoke by phone during work hours with Brigid Landler, a woman with whom P worked at the University of Vermont. The employee sought to obtain information regarding the location of P's wife to notify her of the foreclosure action in Ohio. P has never been married. P contends that D’s employee improperly conveyed information regarding a debt violating 15 USC 1692(b)(c) and the Vermont Consumer Fraud Act, 9 V.S.A. §§ 2451-2480g.
