Federal Cases against Galaxy Purchasing International

Arbitration upheld in Galaxy International case involving FDCPA claims

In the case of Mines v. Galaxy International Purchasing, LLC, a federal court in Indiana acknowledged Galaxy International Purchasing, LLC’s right to compel arbitration of the class dispute based on the underlying credit agreement. The court found that Galaxy properly assigned the agreement, which granted it the authority to enforce arbitration in an FDCPA case.

The court determined that the broad language of the Cardholder Agreement’s arbitration provision created a presumption of arbitrability. As the plaintiff’s FDCPA claim related to the Cardholder Agreement and relied on its terms, it fell within the scope of the arbitration provision. The court also dismissed the argument that the plaintiff’s bankruptcy discharge terminated the right to arbitration, as the contract was not executory and arbitration of FDCPA claims did not conflict with the Bankruptcy Code.

Three key takeaways from Mines v. Galaxy International Purchasing, LLC are:

1. The broad language of an arbitration provision in a Cardholder Agreement creates a presumption of arbitrability. If the plaintiff’s FDCPA claim relates to the agreement and relies on its terms, it may be subject to arbitration.
2. Equitable estoppel can allow a non-signatory defendant to compel arbitration if the plaintiff’s claim is based on the agreement’s terms or involves joint conduct with a signatory defendant.
3. Bankruptcy discharge does not automatically terminate the right to arbitration, and courts have not yet addressed the arbitrability of FDCPA claims in post-bankruptcy proceedings. (Mines v. Galaxy International Purchasing, LLC, No. 1:17-cv-04746-RLY-DLP, March 6, 2019).
