Yeah this does not impact cases brought before state courts:
> Article III, § 2 of the U.S. Constitution limits federal court jurisdiction to cases and controversies. But the Supreme Court has held “the constraints of Article III do not apply to state courts, and accordingly the state courts are not bound by the limitations of a case or controversy or other federal rules of justiciability even when they address issues of federal law, as when they are called upon to interpret the Constitution or, in this case, a federal statute.” ASARCO Inc. v. Kadish, 490 U.S. 605, 617 (1989).
$75k if you mean the usual amount in controversy requirement for diversity jurisdiction, no? Anyway, the FDCPA specifically gives federal courts jurisdiction over FDCPA violations “regardless of the amount in controversy”, so there’s no minimum.
Still, the FDCPA jurisdiction provision is non-exclusive, meaning state courts also remain a viable option.
