(1) the plaintiff is any natural person who is harmed by violations of the FDCPA, or is a “consumer” (15 U.S.C.A. § 1692a(3)) when the cause of action is for a violation of 15 U.S.C.A. § 1692c (communication in connection with debt collection) or 15 U.S.C.A. § 1692e(11) (requiring the debt collector provide the consumer with the “mini-Miranda” warning) [§ 9];
(2) the “debt” arises out of a transaction entered primarily for personal, family, or household purposes; 15 U.S.C.A. § 1692a(5) [§ 9];
