S_NE PASS-29 — four bounded corrections to PASS-26 collector-conduct remedies
Actual public-source verification date: October 26, 2026, Pacific / October 26, 2026 UTC
Status: Same-coordinator bounded correction to the separately reviewed PASS-26 report; not independent review.
PASS-26 remains immutable. Only the affected passages, claims, source annotations, examples, and coverage cells identified below are replaced or qualified. PASS-27 and PASS-28 remain unreviewed and are not used as premises.
All previously supported PASS-26 formulas and explicit unresolved issues remain intact unless expressly changed here.
Four-group disposition
| Group |
Disposition |
Effect on PASS-26 |
| G1 — Collection Agency Act precision |
The daily Class III misdemeanor text is confirmed, but §45-601 contains no express “knowing” or “willful” element. No controlling additional authority establishing that precise culpability formulation was located in this bounded review; criminal mental-state construction remains held. Definition pinpoints, bond timing, Board procedure, appeal effect, and rule/statute distinctions are corrected. |
Replace the affected portions of B1, B3, B4, B6, G, I, Examples 1 and 11, and C002/C003/C006/C008/C010. |
| G2 — Case identities, holdings, and privacy guardrails |
McKinney, Bohling, and Syring had material court/year/posture errors. Their identities and actual majority holdings are corrected. Gordon is narrowed to its administrative-process and appellate posture. Nebraska’s privacy defenses, assignment, survival, single-publication, judgment-bar, and one-year statutes are added. |
Replace affected portions of J, S018–S020, C032–C037, related examples, and coverage rows. |
| G3 — Remedy and procedure qualifications |
NCPA regulatory-exemption carvebacks, precise tolling, public-penalty source, UDTPA asset-freeze and AG-mailing conditions, Nebraska punitive-damages scope, and Rotkiske’s reserved equitable-doctrine issue are corrected. |
Replace or qualify C018–C021, C026, C030, C046, and corresponding C5/C6/D/G/H and coverage cells. |
| G4 — Source precision and access status |
Grouped ellipses are replaced with full literal URLs. Title 433’s material pages were freshly inspected through the official static PDF, but complete adoption/effective-history metadata remains unavailable. The current §1692n official OLRC body and header were successfully retrieved in PASS-29. Future-effective LB 838 language is separated from October 2026 law. |
Replace affected source rows and currentness/access annotations only. |
G1 — Collection Agency Act precision
1. Criminal text and unresolved mental-state construction
Replacement for PASS-26 B1, C006, and Example 1’s legal premise
Neb. Rev. Stat. §45-601 expressly provides that operating a covered collection-agency business without a license is a Class III misdemeanor for each day the unlawful business is conducted. The statute itself contains no express “knowing,” “willful,” “intentionally,” or similar culpability term. No controlling Nebraska appellate decision or separate statutory provision was located in this bounded review that supplies the previously reported “knowing and willful” formulation specifically for §45-601. This correction therefore withdraws that unqualified phrase but does not declare the offense strict liability; the criminal culpability construction remains unresolved. (nebraskalegislature.gov)
The statute’s next sentence is broader in subject matter: an officer or agent who personally participates in any violation of the Collection Agency Act commits a Class III misdemeanor. That sentence is not limited to personal participation in unlicensed operation. Whether and what culpability the State must prove under that separate sentence likewise remains held. (nebraskalegislature.gov)
A Class III misdemeanor authorizes, upon conviction, up to three months’ imprisonment, a fine up to $500, or both, with no minimum. That is an authorized range, not an automatic sentence. (nebraskalegislature.gov)

2. Correct §45-602 pinpoints
The collection-agency actor pinpoints are:
- §45-602(2)(a): third-party collection activity involving claims solicited from more than one creditor;
- §45-602(2)(b): an original creditor using a fictitious or other name that implies a third person is collecting;
- §45-602(2)(c): collection-letter or form systems suggesting an outside collector; and
- §45-602(3): conditional exclusions, including single-creditor employees, specified financial institutions, qualifying attorneys, court-appointed actors, and purchasers collecting acquired claims in their own names. (nebraskalegislature.gov)
These corrections change the subsection citations, not PASS-26’s broader conclusion that actor classification must be performed separately under each statute.
3. Bond timing, claimant predicates, and aggregate cap
Replacement for PASS-26 B3, C008, and Example 11
Section 45-608 conditions the bond on both:
- faithful performance of agreements with clients or customers; and
- reporting and paying each client or customer within 45 days after the close of each calendar month the net proceeds of all collections made during the preceding calendar month and due to that client or customer.
The clock therefore begins at the close of the collection month—not on each payment’s receipt date, not on the client’s invoice date, and not on a debtor’s complaint date. (nebraskalegislature.gov)
A bond action may be brought by a person:
- to whom the licensee failed to account and pay as the bond specifies; or
- who was damaged by the licensee’s failure to comply with an agreement entered into with that person.
The surety’s aggregate liability to all qualifying claimants may not exceed the bond amount. A debtor contacted by an agency does not automatically qualify merely because the agency violated another part of the Act; the accounting, payment, or agreement nexus still must be proved. (nebraskalegislature.gov)
Current bond tiers preserved
| Agency size |
Statutory bond |
| Fewer than 5 solicitors |
$5,000 |
| 5 through 15 solicitors |
$10,000 |
| 16 or more solicitors |
$15,000 |
| Aggregate bonds required of one person |
No more than $100,000 |
4. Board proceedings: mandatory and discretionary branches
| Provision |
Correct operative rule |
| §45-612 |
The Board shall revoke after specified final fraud or embezzlement convictions or judgments, failure to account within §45-608’s time, bond termination without replacement, loss of required Nebraska office or residency/corporate status, and the statute’s other stated predicates. |
| §45-613 |
The Board may proceed on its own motion and shall proceed on the sworn complaint of a customer or client of a licensee. The written citation must state the exact charges and be served at least 20 days before hearing. |
| §45-615 |
After hearing, the Board must issue written findings. If the stated noncompliance, accounting, or financial-responsibility findings are made, the Board may suspend or revoke. A certified copy of the findings must be sent by certified mail within five days after issuance. |
| §45-616 |
Refusal, suspension, or revocation is appealable under the Administrative Procedure Act. |
| §45-617 |
Pending final determination of that appeal, the holder may continue doing collection-agency business as though the license or certificate remained effective. |
These are distinct branches: §45-612’s stated revocations are mandatory; §45-615’s posthearing suspension or revocation is discretionary; and continued business pending appeal comes from §45-617, not §45-616. (nebraskalegislature.gov) (nebraskalegislature.gov) (nebraskalegislature.gov) (nebraskalegislature.gov) (nebraskalegislature.gov)
A Board complaint, even if accepted, does not itself revoke or suspend the license, award damages, invalidate a debt, or stay a collection case.

The rule’s “any person or client” complaint wording is broader than §45-613’s “customer or client.” This report does not assume that the rule validly expands the statute’s mandatory complaint duty. The Board independently retains authority to proceed on its own motion. The discrepancy remains unresolved and does not establish private standing or a right to damages. Nebraska Secretary of State
Rule 009.01’s FDCPA reference is an informational licensing requirement; it does not transform every FDCPA violation into a Nebraska private claim. Rule 006.03 and Rule 008.04 can support administrative discipline or proof, but they do not themselves create automatic debtor damages. Nebraska Secretary of State+2
The Rule 013 page should not be treated as the sole current operational fee schedule. Current §45-620 sets maximum statutory fees and permits Board-set amounts no higher than the cost of administering the Act; §45-605.01 authorizes NMLS processing and transaction fees. The current Secretary of State page directs new applications and branches through NMLS and no longer accepts paper applications. Some fixed figures shown in the legacy sheet fall within current caps, so this correction does not declare every displayed number unlawful; its present adoption and operational status as a comprehensive fee schedule remain held.

G2 — Correct case identities, holdings, and privacy guardrails
1. Corrected primary-case table
| Case |
Correct identity |
Actual majority holding and result |
Pinpoint |
| McKinney v. Okoye |
282 Neb. 880, 806 N.W.2d 571, filed December 16, 2011; Nebraska Supreme Court |
The appeal addressed whether absolute judicial-proceeding privilege bars malicious prosecution. The majority held that it does not, reversed, and remanded. The majority did not decide or reinstate separate privacy, defamation, or interference claims. Its conclusion appears at printed p.889; the dissent begins later on that same page. |
Majority reasoning printed p.888/PDF index 8; majority conclusion and start of dissent printed p.889/PDF index 9. Nebraska.gov+1 |
| Bohling v. Tecumseh Poultry LLC |
314 Neb. 129, filed April 27, 2023; Nebraska Supreme Court |
The Court stated the six malicious-prosecution elements. The appeal was resolved on claim preclusion because an earlier dismissal with prejudice became a final, unappealed merits judgment. The Court did not reach the alternative underlying merits theory. |
Elements printed p.131/PDF index 2; claim preclusion pp.136–138/PDF indices 7–9. Nebraska.gov+3 |
| Syring v. Archdiocese of Omaha |
317 Neb. 195, filed July 26, 2024; Nebraska Supreme Court |
The IIED claim failed because the challenged conduct was not sufficiently extreme and outrageous. Because that element failed, the Court expressly did not decide the challenged medical-testimony/severe-distress issue. The full judgment was affirmed, with other claims disposed of on separate grounds. |
IIED pp.208–210/PDF indices 13–15; final disposition p.216/PDF index 21. Nebraska.gov+3 |
| Gordon v. Community First State Bank |
255 Neb. 637, 587 N.W.2d 343, decided December 4, 1998; Nebraska Supreme Court |
Abuse of process requires an ulterior purpose and an improper use of judicial process after issuance; regular use with a bad intention is insufficient. Administrative emergency orders did not supply the required judicial process. The Bank’s dismissal was affirmed; the appeal as to individual officers in one consolidated case was dismissed for lack of a final order; the second judgment was affirmed. |
Reported pp.351–354; public reproduction, no PDF index. Justia Law+3 |
| Whipps Land & Cattle Co. v. Level 3 Communications |
265 Neb. 472, 658 N.W.2d 258, decided March 14, 2003; Nebraska Supreme Court |
Section 20-203 intrusion consists of intentional interference with solitude, seclusion, or private affairs that would be highly offensive to a reasonable person. Ordinary inadvertent trespass, without intrusion into private affairs of the required kind, did not suffice. Judgment was affirmed. |
Reported pp.269–271; public reproduction, no PDF index. Justia Law+1 |
| Sabrina W. v. Willman |
4 Neb. App. 149, 540 N.W.2d 364, decided November 21, 1995; Nebraska Court of Appeals |
Following an admitted voyeuristic intrusion, the claimant did not have to prove the severe emotional distress required for IIED. Available privacy damages include general privacy harm, mental suffering, special damages, and nominal damages if none of the others are proved. The directed verdict was reversed and the case remanded for a new trial. |
Reported pp.369–371; public reproduction, no PDF index. Justia Law |
2. Litigation privilege correction
Replacement for PASS-26 C035 and the corresponding common-law discussion
Nebraska’s privacy statute expressly subjects communication-based privacy claims to applicable qualified or absolute defamation privileges and other common-law privacy defenses. A statement made in a qualifying judicial proceeding can therefore be privileged against a statement-based privacy or defamation claim. (nebraskalegislature.gov)
McKinney does not create the opposite blanket rule. It holds only that absolute judicial-proceeding privilege does not bar the distinct tort of malicious prosecution. Malicious prosecution remains subject to its own six elements, including favorable termination, lack of probable cause, malice, and damages. Nebraska.gov+1
3. Correct privacy guardrails
| Provision |
Correct bounded effect |
| §20-203 |
Liability for intentional intrusion into solitude, seclusion, or private affairs of a kind highly offensive to a reasonable person. Repeated collection contacts can be relevant, but contact count alone does not establish intent or objective offensiveness. |
| §20-206 |
Preserves statutory, constitutional, qualified, absolute, and common-law privileges and defenses, including defamation privileges for communications. |
| §20-207 |
Privacy action is personal to the person whose privacy was invaded and is nonassignable. |
| §20-208 |
Privacy action generally does not survive the subject’s death, except the stated name-or-likeness exploitation branch. |
| §20-209 |
A single publication, exhibition, or utterance produces one cause of action encompassing damages in all jurisdictions. It does not force an election among all different tort theories and is not a universal collector-remedy election rule. |
| §20-210 |
A merits judgment for or against the same plaintiff against the same defendant based on the same publication, exhibition, or utterance bars another damages action based on that same publication. |
| §20-211 |
Privacy action must be filed within one year from the date the cause arose. |

4. Correct abuse-of-process boundary
Replacement for PASS-26 C033 and affected narrative
Gordon supports the following narrower formulation:
Plain text
Abuse of process requires:
an ulterior purpose
+
an improper act in the use of judicial process
after or under cover of its issuance
+
resulting damage
Bad motive attached to regular and legitimate use is insufficient. The case did not recognize administrative agency orders as judicial process for this tort and expressly left open whether an administrative proceeding could support malicious prosecution. Its consolidated appellate disposition also cannot be compressed into a blanket affirmance of every dismissal against every defendant. Justia Law+2
5. Correct IIED boundary
Syring is a Nebraska Supreme Court decision, not a Court of Appeals decision. It supports the demanding objective outrageousness threshold. It does not establish that severe emotional distress was absent on its facts; the majority expressly declined to reach that disputed element after holding the conduct was not sufficiently outrageous. The case is not a debt-collection case and supplies only the general Nebraska element and gatekeeping standard. Nebraska.gov+2
G3 — Remedy and procedure qualifications
1. NCPA regulatory exemption and carvebacks
Replacement for PASS-26 C019
Section 59-1617(1) generally exempts actions or transactions that are otherwise permitted, prohibited, or regulated under laws administered by listed regulators or another state or federal regulatory body acting under statutory authority.
Section 59-1617(2), however, expressly returns specified categories to the Consumer Protection Act:
- insurance-regulated actions and transactions remain subject to §59-1602 and its implementation and enforcement provisions;
- funeral-directing and embalming matters;
- matters administered by the Department of Agriculture; and
- specified loan-broker activities under §§45-189 through 45-191.11.
The section also states that no penalty or remedy results from an NCPA violation except those expressly provided by the Act. (nebraskalegislature.gov)
The result remains conduct specific. A regulated entity is not automatically exempt from every NCPA claim, and the carvebacks do not make every activity of a listed business actionable. No private punitive or public-penalty stacking is inferred.
2. Precise NCPA suspension rule
Replacement for PASS-26 C021
A private §59-1609 damages action generally must be commenced within four years after accrual.
Suspension occurs only when:
- the Attorney General brings an actual action for a violation of §§59-1602 through 59-1606;
- the private §59-1609 claim is based in whole or part on a matter complained of in that AG action; and
- the AG action remains pending.
The suspension excludes an action for recovery of a civil penalty for violation of an injunction and excludes actions under §59-1609 itself. An AG intake complaint, CART communication, informal inquiry, voluntary mediation, or consumer submission is not the qualifying action described by §59-1612. (nebraskalegislature.gov)
3. Public NCPA penalty locator
Replacement for PASS-26 C020’s penalty citation
Section 59-1608 authorizes the Attorney General’s injunction, restoration, costs, and fee route. The NCPA civil-penalty amounts are located in §59-1614:
- up to $2,000 for each §59-1602 violation, subject to the good-faith media exception; and
- up to $500,000 for violations of §§59-1603 or 59-1604 or the terms of an NCPA injunction.
The Attorney General, acting for the State, seeks those penalties. They are not automatic private damages payable to the consumer. (nebraskalegislature.gov)
4. UDTPA asset freeze
Replacement for PASS-26 C026’s freeze wording
When the Attorney General has reasonable cause to believe a listed deceptive trade practice or unconscionable act occurred, the AG may ask a district court for an ex parte order temporarily freezing or impounding connected accounts or assets to preserve resources for restitution or another available consumer remedy.
If granted:
- the initial ex parte order lasts 14 days;
- the court must set a hearing;
- the AG must notify the owner, with publication allowed; and
- after the hearing, the court may extend the order through the proceedings unless earlier canceled or modified at the AG’s request.
This is a court-ordered public enforcement remedy. A private claimant, consumer complaint, or AG intake employee cannot unilaterally freeze assets. (nebraskalegislature.gov)
5. UDTPA filings sent to the Attorney General
Replacement for PASS-26 C030
| Event |
Required timing |
Material sent |
| Petition, counterclaim, cross-petition, or intervention pleading alleging a UDTPA violation |
Within 7 days after filing |
Copy of pleading |
| Final judgment in such action |
Within 7 days after entry |
Copy of judgment |
| Small Claims Court appeal involving a UDTPA issue |
Within 7 days after providing notice of appeal |
Written notice, relevant pleading, order or judgment |
| Other appeal involving a UDTPA issue |
Within 7 days after filing the notice of appeal |
Written notice, relevant pleading, order or judgment |
Initial required mailings in an action must be by certified mail. Once the AG has received required materials by certified mail in the same action, later required mailings may use regular mail. Failure to comply is not a dismissal ground, although it may support a later AG action to vacate or modify the judgment. (nebraskalegislature.gov)
6. Nebraska punitive-damages scope
Replacement for PASS-26 C018
O’Brien v. Cessna Aircraft Co. supports the rule that when Nebraska substantive law governs the punitive-damages question, punitive, vindictive, or exemplary damages are unavailable under Nebraska law. The case itself was a choice-of-law analysis. It does not establish that Nebraska law governs every forum or multistate dispute, and it does not displace federal statutory damages such as the FDCPA’s additional-damages provision. Nebraska.gov
7. Rotkiske qualification
Replacement for PASS-26 C046
Rotkiske holds that §1692k(d)’s one-year period generally runs from the date of the FDCPA violation rather than from a general discovery date.
The majority’s footnote 3 expressly declined to decide:
- whether §1692k(d) permits application of equitable doctrines; or
- whether the claim before the Court fit within such a doctrine.
Accordingly, PASS-26 correctly rejects an automatic general discovery rule, but this correction withdraws any affirmative statement that the majority recognized or applied equitable tolling on the facts. Those questions were reserved. Supreme Court of the United States+1
8. Future-effective §87-302 text
The current online §87-302 page displays LB 838’s social-media-advertising provisions and identifies an operative date of January 1, 2027. As of October 26, 2026, those newly added clauses are future effective and are not operative current law for this PASS-29 analysis. The preexisting UDTPA provisions remain the relevant October 2026 text. (nebraskalegislature.gov) (nebraskalegislature.gov)
9. Holds expressly preserved
PASS-29 does not resolve or reopen:
- §59-1609’s “such increased award” construction;
- the modern Nebraska malicious-prosecution limitation period;
- §87-303.10’s purchase-date clock as applied to pure later collection conduct;
- tort-specific accrual or continuing-course theories;
- state/federal overlap, election, and duplicate-recovery allocation;
- the implied private-action question under the Collection Agency Act; or
- a universal wrongful-garnishment tort.

Replacement for P26 S021 — FDCPA
Plain text
https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-124/t15/s1692a/
https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-124/t15/s1692e/

https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-124/t15/s1692n/
The §1692a, §1692e, §1692f, §1692k, and §1692l bodies were already read in PASS-26. Although the coordinator’s exact §1692n route failed during review, PASS-29 successfully retrieved the official OLRC page. It displays text in effect through Public Law 119-124, October 15, 2026, and preserves more-protective consistent state law. The earlier failed access remains an attributed historical observation, not evidence that the statute was unavailable or changed. (uscode.house.gov)
2. Other source-status corrections
- Title 433: Official static PDF pages were visually inspected in PASS-29, but no complete adoption, amendment, or effective-date history was displayed. The operational status of legacy fixed-fee and paper-form pages remains held.
- Current licensing procedure: The current Secretary of State page directs new collection-agency applicants and branch applications through NMLS and states that paper applications are no longer accepted. (sos.nebraska.gov)
- Roster: PASS-26’s July 9, 2026 roster date and December 31, 2026 expiry observations remain researcher-attributed. No provider-specific or fresh named-roster verification was performed in PASS-29.
- CART: The cited CART launch page is a December 2, 2021 announcement describing voluntary dispute resolution. It is not evidence of 2026 complaint outcomes, adjudications, or present recovery totals. (ago.nebraska.gov)
- §87-302: LB 838’s relevant additions are future effective January 1, 2027 and were not treated as October 2026 law. (nebraskalegislature.gov)
Bounded correction examples
Example 1 — five assumed daily unlicensed-operation offenses
Assumptions
- The business activity falls within §45-602(2)(a).
- No exclusion applies.
- The entity lacks the required Nebraska license.
- The prosecution proves whatever criminal culpability Nebraska law ultimately requires.
- The business operates on five separate days.
- Each day is charged and established as a separate §45-601 offense.
Arithmetic:
Plain text
5 assumed daily offenses
× $500 maximum Class III fine per offense
= $2,500 theoretical aggregate fine ceiling
This preserves PASS-26’s $2,500 arithmetic but corrects its legal premise:
- §45-601 itself does not say “knowing and willful”;
- this report does not declare strict liability;
- $2,500 is not an automatic sentence;
- imprisonment, concurrency, charging discretion, and prosecution timeliness remain separate;
- the fine is public, not a private consumer award; and
- an officer or agent requires proof of personal participation in an Act violation. (nebraskalegislature.gov) (nebraskalegislature.gov)
Example 2 — month-close accounting and competing bond claims
Assumptions
During calendar month M:
Plain text
Gross collections received $5,000
Assumed contractually lawful deductions -1,000
------
Assumed net proceeds due to client $4,000
Symbolic deadline:
Plain text
Close of calendar month M
+ 45 days
= statutory report-and-payment point
Assume a $5,000 bond.
No competing valid claim
Plain text
Supported client loss $4,000
Bond limit $5,000
Potential recovery up to $4,000
Competing qualifying claims total $7,000
Plain text
Aggregate qualifying losses $7,000
Surety aggregate limit $5,000
Maximum total surety liability $5,000
PASS-29 does not invent an allocation method among competing claimants. The actual month, deductions, agreement, accounting, claimant status, bond, defenses, and other claims remain unknown. The preserved $4,000 calculation is conditional on those predicates. (nebraskalegislature.gov)
Example 3 — privilege, malicious prosecution, and administrative-process failure case
Facts assumed
- A collection lawyer alleges in a filed complaint that a consumer owes a debt.
- The allegation is later disputed.
- The lawsuit ends favorably for the consumer.
- The consumer asserts privacy, defamation, malicious prosecution, and abuse of process.
Conditional analysis
Plain text
Statement-based privacy/defamation:
may encounter §20-206 litigation privilege
Malicious prosecution:
not barred merely by that privilege under McKinney
but all six elements still required
Abuse of process:
requires improper use of judicial process after issuance
bad motive alone is insufficient
Complaint to an administrative regulator:
does not itself constitute judicial process under Gordon
If an earlier with-prejudice judgment already adjudicated the malicious-prosecution claim and was not appealed, Bohling shows that claim preclusion can dispose of the later action without deciding the underlying malicious-prosecution merits. Nebraska.gov+5
Example 4 — complaint intake versus qualifying AG action, asset freeze, mailing, and tolling
Step A — consumer files a CART complaint
Plain text
AG intake complaint filed
Qualifying §59-1612 court action no
Automatic private limitation suspension no
Automatic asset freeze no
Automatic litigation stay no
CART’s dispute-resolution process is voluntary and the AG is not the consumer’s private attorney. (ago.nebraska.gov)
Step B — AG later files a qualifying NCPA action
If the AG files an actual action under §§59-1602 through 59-1606 and the private §59-1609 claim is based in whole or part on the same matter:
Plain text
Private limitation suspension
= duration of qualifying AG action’s pendency
The suspension does not arise from intake alone and does not extend to the excluded AG action categories identified in §59-1612. (nebraskalegislature.gov)
Step C — AG seeks connected-asset restraint
The AG must request a district-court order. If granted:
Plain text
Initial ex parte duration 14 days
Notice to owner required
Hearing required
Extension after hearing court decision
A private claimant cannot obtain that freeze merely by filing a complaint. (nebraskalegislature.gov)
Step D — private UDTPA pleading
The filing party must send the required pleading to the AG within seven days. The first required mailing in the action is by certified mail; later required mailings may use regular mail after qualifying prior certified delivery. Failure is not a dismissal ground but may support later AG action to vacate or modify. No actual calendar is computed here. (nebraskalegislature.gov)

Numerical self-check
Plain text
Five assumed daily offenses:
5 × $500 = $2,500
Bond illustration:
$5,000 gross − $1,000 assumed lawful deductions = $4,000
$4,000 loss within $5,000 bond = up to $4,000
$7,000 aggregate claims against $5,000 bond = $5,000 total surety ceiling
NCPA public penalty:
3 × $2,000 = $6,000
The calculations establish arithmetic only. They do not establish criminal culpability, charging units, a sentence, bond entitlement, claim allocation, NCPA liability, or statutory penalty units.
Not performed
- No actual collector, agency, creditor, debtor, communication, account, contract, bond, complaint, license, administrative order, judgment, writ, injury, class, or limitations event was accessed.
- No provider or named-case docket lookup, complaint, filing, contact, demand, record request, application, account action, or private-data search occurred.
- No complete Title 433 adoption-history audit, paid citator, unpublished-order search, criminal-docket review, or current Board adjudication database was available.
- No provider-remedies, secured-debt, medical, bankruptcy, tax, support, education, local, tribal, or foreign-country component was reopened.
- No local file was written, no browser was controlled, and no operational or publication action occurred.
All unaffected PASS-26 claims, supported arithmetic, and original actual-record, source-currentness, sector, local, tribal, and country holds remain unchanged. No Nebraska, component, parent, A066, operational, or publication acceptance is implied.
