Default Judgement while MTC Arbitration pending

[Daytona365]

I was sued by a JDB, and properly filed a MTC  arbitration. Before the motion could be heard, the JDB filed for a default judgment. Eventually the MTC was granted. Did the JDB violate the FDCPA by filing for default once they knew I was demanding arbitration?

No.  Until the court grants the motion they are free to continue litigating the case.
