MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
LEVIN, United States Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff Stephen P. Turner ("Turner") moves for judgment on the pleadings pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(c). For the reasons hereinafter set forth, Plaintiff's motion is denied.

BACKGROUND FACTS
On March 17, 2000, Turner filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition. (Pl.'s Mot. at 1.) A debt in the amount of $97.80 owed to Pre-Paid Local Access Phone Service Company ("Pre-Paid") was listed on Turner's bankruptcy petition. (Id.) Turner's $97.80 debt to Pre-Paid was discharged in bankruptcy and Pre-Paid received notice of the discharge on March 22, 2000 and July 5, 2000. See Turner v. J.V.D.B. & Assocs. Inc., 330 F.3d 991, 994 (7th Cir.2003). By July of 2000, Turner's bankruptcy was listed on his credit reports. (Id.)
Despite the fact that Turner's bankruptcy was listed on his credit reports, Pre-Paid turned the debt over to a debt collector, Defendant J.V.D.B. & Associates, Inc. ("J.V.D.B."). Turner, 330 F.3d at 994. J.V.D.B. then sent a collection letter dated March 29, 2001 printed on its letterhead to Turner and stated that the balance due to Pre-Paid was $97.80. (Id.) The collection letter stated the following:
This is an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose.
The above claim has been referred to this office for collection.
Pursuant to Public Law 95-109, unless you notify us within 30 days after receiving this notice that you dispute the validity of the debt or any portion thereof, this office will assume this debt is valid. *1000 If you notify this office in writing within 30 days from receiving this notice, this office will obtain verification of the debt or obtain a copy of a judgment and mail you a copy of such judgment or verification. If you request ... in writing within 30 days after receiving this notice, this office will provide you with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor.
Very truly yours,
J.V.D.B. & Associates, Inc.
Collection Agency
(Id.)
As is pertinent here, after receiving the collection letter, Turner forwarded it to his attorney who subsequently brought suit under 15 U.S.C. § 1692e[1] of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA"). Turner, 330 F.3d at 994. In his suit, Turner alleges that J.V.D.B. violated § 1692e by telling him he had to pay a debt that had been previously discharged in bankruptcy. By doing this Turner alleges J.V.D.B. misrepresented the legal status of the debt. (Id.)
On appeal, with regard to Turner's § 1692e claim, the Seventh Circuit ruled inter alia that "a reasonable jury could conclude as a matter of fact that a misleading implication (that Turner had to pay the $97.80 debt) arises from an objectively reasonable reading of J.V.D.B.'s collection letter of March 29, 2001." Turner, 330 F.3d at 995. The Seventh Circuit thus later concluded that "[b]ecause knowledge is not an element of a violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1692e, and because Turner has presented evidence from which a reasonable jury could conclude that J.V.D.B. made a false, deceptive, or misleading representation about the legal status of Turner's debt, we reverse the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of J.V.D.B. regarding § 1692e and remand", implicitly, for a trial on this § 1692e issue. Id. at 999.

ISSUE
Turner now moves for judgment on the pleadings averring that he is entitled to judgment as a matter of law as to his § 1692e claim based on the Seventh Circuit's recent decision in Randolph v. IMBS, Inc., 368 F.3d 726 (7th Cir.2004).

LEGAL STANDARD
As is pertinent here, a court may grant a motion for judgment on the pleadings "only if the moving party clearly establishes that no material issue of fact remains to be resolved and that he or she is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Nat'l Fidelity Life Ins. Co. v. Karaganis, 811 F.2d 357, 358 (7th Cir.1987)(quoting Flora v. Home Fed. Savings & Loan Ass'n, 685 F.2d 209, 211 (7th Cir.1982)); see also 5A Charles A. Wright and Arthur R. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure § 1368 at 530 (1990)(noting that courts will not grant a motion for judgment on the pleadings if a material issue of fact exists). A court may only consider those matters presented in the pleadings and "must view the facts in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party." Nat'l Fidelity Life, 811 F.2d at 358 (citing Republic Steel Corp. v. Pennsylvania Eng'g Corp., 785 F.2d 174, 177 n. 2 (7th Cir.1986)).

DISCUSSION
Turner avers that he is entitled to judgment as a matter of law with respect to his § 1692e claim based on the Seventh Circuit's decision in Randolph. (Pl.'s Mot. at 4-5.) Turner contends that in Randolph the Seventh Circuit held that a debt *1001 collector's false statement, which entailed making a demand for payment while a debtor is in bankruptcy, is presumptively wrongful under the FDCPA. (Id.) Turner therefore contends that, like the debt collectors' false statements in Randolph demanding payment from debtors while in bankruptcy, J.V.D.B's March 29, 2001 collection letter claiming he owed a $97.80 debt to Pre-Paid was indisputably false because the debt had already been discharged in bankruptcy on July 5, 2000. (Id.) Accordingly, Turner avers that there is no material issue of fact that remains to be resolved with regard to his § 1692e claim because J.V.D.B.'s March 29, 2001 collection letter constitutes a false statement that is presumptively wrongful and violates the FDCPA as decided in Randolph.[2] (Id.)
J.V.D.B., on the other hand, avers that Turner is not entitled to judgment as a matter of law because he inappropriately relies on dictum contained in Randolph and, moreover, the issue that was decided in Randolph is different from the issue in the instant case. (Def.'s Resp. at 1-2.) J.V.D.B. asserts that the issue that the Seventh Circuit decided in Randolph dealt with whether the Bankruptcy Code was incompatible with the FDCPA and whether a plaintiff could bring an FDCPA claim for an alleged violation of a bankruptcy stay. (Id. at 3.) J.V.D.B. further contends that the Randolph case is not applicable herein because the Seventh Circuit did not make an explicit finding that any of the letters at issue in Randolph violated the FDCPA and, moreover, these subject letters contained language demanding "immediate" payment whereas J.V.D.B.'s March 29, 2001 collection letter simply stated that J.V.D.B. had been hired to collect a debt. (Id. at 2, 3.) J.V.D.B. also asserts that the Seventh Circuit specifically remanded the instant case with instructions for a determination as to whether a reasonable jury could conclude that J.V.D.B. made a false, deceptive, or misleading representation or statement regarding the legal status of Turner's debt in violation of § 1692e of the FDCPA. (Id. at 1, 3.) See Turner, 330 F.3d at 999.
The Court finds, respectfully, that Turner's reliance on Randolph is unavailing. Randolph involved and addressed a different issue than the issue(s) in the present case. Specifically, the issue in Randolph, unlike here, was whether the Bankruptcy Code "preempts" and "trumps" the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act where both statutes deal with the same subject. Randolph, 368 F.3d at 728, 730.
Moreover, even if it is assumed arguendo that Randolph is inconsistent with the decision and remand directions of the Seventh Circuit in Turner, then Randolph is in direct conflict with the Seventh Circuit's holding in Turner. Since the Turner opinion gave this Court specific directions and an explicit mandate (versus the general statements in Randolph relied on by Turner), this Court would deem it necessary to follow the specific directive of Turner and conduct a trial under the guidelines of Turner.[3]
*1002 Accordingly, a trial must be conducted under the explicit mandate of the Seventh Circuit in Turner, as to whether as a matter of fact a misleading implication (that Turner had to pay the $97.80 debt) arises from an objectively reasonable reading of J.V.D.B.'s collection letter of March 29, 2001. Turner, 330 F.3d at 995, 999.

CONCLUSION
In view of the foregoing, the Court denies Turner's motion for judgment on the pleadings.
NOTES
[1]  Section 1692e provides that "[a] debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt." 15 U.S.C. § 1692e.
[2]  Turner further contends that J.V.D.B.'s only defense under the FDCPA is the bona fide error defense as provided by § 1692k(e) which this Court has already dismissed with prejudice. (Pl.'s Mot. at 5.) It bears noting that, on May 19, 2004, the Court granted Turner's motion for summary judgment, as a matter of law, as to J.V.D.B.'s bona fide error defense and  dismissed J.V.D.B.'s amended affirmative bona fide error defense with prejudice.
[3]  It perhaps bears noting that rather than rejecting its decision in Turner, the Seventh Circuit in Randolph approved Turner by stating: "We reaffirm the approach of Turner and Hyman" (Randolph, 368 F.3d at 732); and, earlier, "Two recent decisions of this circuit arising out of postbankruptcy demands for immediate payment illustrate how these provisions of the FDCPA work. Turner v. J.V.D.B. & Associates, Inc., 330 F.3d 991 (7th Cir.2003); Hyman v. Tate, 362 F.3d  965 (7th Cir.2004)." Id. at 728.
