A class-action lawsuit against AmeriDebt founder Andris Pukke may be sidetracked, but a court has ruled that the Federal Trade Commission’s $172 million lawsuit against the company will go forward.
U.S. District Judge Peter J. Messitte ruled Monday against the FTC’s request to issue a summary judgment in its case against AmeriDebt Inc., which means that case will proceed to trial.
Pukke’s attorney also announced his client’s intent to file for bankruptcy protection, which would put on hold, as far as Pukke is concerned, the consumer class-action lawsuit against Pukke and others.
