Brief of Plaintiff-Appellant, Madden v. Midland Funding, L.L.C., No. 14-2131-cv, 2014 WL 418161 (2d Cir. filed 2014)
Does the preemption of state usury laws enjoyed by national banks under the National Bank Act extend to non-bank debt buyers where, as here, the national bank retains no interest in or control over the subject accounts, and the national bank and the debt buyer are operationally and legally unrelated entities?
