Display of Data Symbols Similar to QR Code Visible Through Envelope Window Insufficient to Establish Article III Standing | Troutman Pepper

In
Nyanhongo v. Credit Collections Servs., the Eastern District of Pennsylvania held that the display of “data symbols similar to a” quick response code (QR Code), without more, was insufficient to establish Article III standing.
In March 2020, Credit Collections Services mailed Tatenda Nyanhongo a collection letter. The outside of the envelope displayed the phrase “PERSONAL & CONFIDENTIAL” and data symbols, similar to a QR Code, on the letter were visible through a glassine window. Nyanhongo filed a class action alleging that hundreds of similar envelopes were mailed statewide in violation of Section 1692f(8) of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
