What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a consumer credit transaction in which the amount financed is $25,000 or less, and which is entered into for personal, family, or household purposes, is generally subject to the Wisconsin Consumer Act (WCA). The WCA includes requirements for a creditor to satisfy to enforce rights arising from a consumer credit transaction that is subject to the WCA, including pleading requirements for a complaint filed by a creditor to enforce such rights. In Rsidue, L.L.C. v. Michaud , 2006 WI App 164, 295 Wis. 2d 585, 721 N.W. 2d 718, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals held that because the WCA does not refer to an assignee of a creditor, the pleading requirements do not apply to an assignee. This bill amends the WCA to specify that the pleading requirements do apply to an assignee of a creditor.
