OPINION
Laura K. Grandy, United States Bankruptcy JudgeThis matter is before the Court on Trus-tee Robert T. Bruegge’s (“Trustee’s”) Ap-plication to Compromise the Chapter 7 Debtor’s interest in a class action lawsuit and the Debtor’s objection thereto. For the reasons discussed below, the Application is denied.
FACTS
Debtor Alan Presswood (“Debtor”) filed a Chapter 7 petition on May 29, 2012 and movant Robert T. Bruegge was appointed Trustee of the bankruptcy estate. At the time that the petition was filed, the Debtor did not schedule or otherwise disclose any pre-petition claims or causes of action in which he may have an interest.
On February 25, 2015, Alan Presswood, D.C., P.C.1 filed a class action lawsuit against Pernix Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (“Pernix”) and other defendants in the Cir-cuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri (Case No.l5SL-CC00687) based, inter alia, on alleged violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (“TCPA”). See 47 U.S.C. § 227. Specifically, the class action complaint alleges that in April 2011, Pernix sent two (2) unsolicit-ed facsimiles to the Debtor in violation of the TCPA. Pernix subsequently removed the suit to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri (Case No.l5-ev-00592-NAB) where it re-*207mains pending.2 To date, the putative class remains unidentified and uncertified.3
On June 25, 2015, the Debtor filed an amended Schedule B with this Court in which he valued his interest in the Pernix litigation at $500. The Court notes that this was the first time that the Debtor disclosed his interest in the pre-petition causes of action against Pernix, despite the fact that the class action suit had been pending for several months. In addition to the amended Schedule B, the Debtor also filed an amended Schedule C in which he claimed a $500 exemption in the Pernix causes of action pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/12-1001(b) (See Doc. # 72).4 The Trustee does not oppose this exemption.
On September 14, 2015, the Trustee filed the instant Application to Compro-mise the bankruptcy estate’s claims against Pernix. The proposed settlement provides, in pertinent part:
3. Pernix shall pay the Trustee the sum of $10,000.00 USD (the “Settlement Payment”) within twenty-one (21) days of the Order approving the [Rule] 9019 Motion.
4. Except with respect to the Parties’ obligations set forth in this Settlement Agreement, upon the Trustee’s receipt of the full amount of the Settlement Payment, the Trustee, in his capacity as the chapter 7 trustee for the bank-ruptcy estate of the Debtor, hereby remise[s], release[s], discharge^] and acquit[s] Pernix, and each of Pernix’s representatives, principals, predeces-sors, executors, executrixes, employ-ees, shareholders, attorneys, officers, directors, independent contractors, consultants, contractors, vendors, any party responsible for sending the fac-similes and all third parties (the “Re-leasees”) from any and all claims, ac-tions, liabilities, debts and potential causes of action whatsoever, however incurred or arising, now existing or hereafter arising, known or unknown, actually brought or that could have been brought, relating to or pertain-ing to the TCPA Case.
See Application to Compromise Contro-versy and Settlement Agreement, p.6, ¶ 3-4 (Doc. # 66). Pursuant to the agreement, the Trustee requests in his Application that upon payment of the settlement amount, the Debtor be ordered to dismiss the Pernix litigation with prejudice. Alter-natively, the Trustee asks that he be au-thorized to dismiss the action on the Debt- or’s behalf if the Debtor fails to do so.
The Application and proposed settlement were served on all creditors and parties in interest. The only objection was raised by the Debtor, who asserts that the proposed settlement amount grossly ex-ceeds the value of the claim. He contends that the cause of action is worth no more than $500, is fully exempt and, therefore, *208should be abandoned by the Trustee. Spe-cifically, the Debtor alleges that Pernix’s settlement offer constitutes an impermissi-ble attempt to “buy off’ the Debtor in the TCPA litigation and should not be ap-proved by this Court. See Debtor’s Objection to Application to Compromise Con-troversy and. Suggestions in Support Thereof, pp. 3-4, 8 (Doc. #73). In reply, the Trustee requests that these objections be overruled as the Debtor lacks standing to challenge the proposed settlement.
DISCUSSION
Upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition, an estate is created that is comprised of, among other things, “all legal or equitable interest of the debtor in property as of the commencement of the case.” 11 U.S.C. § 541(a)(1). These “legal and equitable interests” include any causes of action that’ belonged to the debtor at the time that the bankruptcy ease was filed. Parker v. Wendy’s Int’l, Inc., 365 F.3d 1268, 1272 (11th Cir. 2004); In re Ozark Restaurant Equipment Co., Inc., 816 F.2d 1222, 1225 (8th Cir. 1987). Accordingly, “a trustee, as the representative of the bankruptcy estate, is the proper party in inter-: est and is the only party in interest to prosecute causes of action belonging to the estate.” Parker, 365 F.3d at 1272. See also Matter of New Era, Inc., 135 F.3d 1206, 1209 (7th Cir. 1998) (“When a debtor has a trustee in bankruptcy ... the trustee has, with immaterial exceptions, the exclusive right to represent the debtor in court.”); In re Seven Seas Petroleum, 522 F.3d 575, 584 (5th Cir. 2008) (“If a claim belongs to the estate, then the bankruptcy trustee has exclusive standing to assert it.”). This right of representation by the Trustee extends to' any interest that the debtor may have in class action litigation. In re Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. Research Reports Securities Litigation, 375 B.R. 719, 725 (S.D.N.Y 2007). See also Morlan v. Universal Guar. Life Ins. Co., 298 F.3d 609, 616 (7th Cir. 2002) (upon filing Chapter 7 petition, portion of debtor’s uncertified class action claim “fell into the estate in bankruptcy”).
.Because the cause of action belongs to the Trustee, a Chapter 7 debtor only has standing to challenge a proposed settlement of the claim under limited circumstances. The question of whether a party has standing is a threshold inquiry in every federal case. In re Thomas, 469 B.R. 915 (10th Cir. 2012). The doctrine of standing limits federal court authority by requiring the courts to satisfy themselves that a plaintiff has “ ‘alleged such a personal stake in the outcome of the controversy’ as to warrant his invocation of federal-court jurisdiction’ ” Summers v. Earth Island Institute, 555 U.S. 488, 493, 129 S.Ct. 1142, 1149, 173 L.Ed.2d 1 (2009) (quoting Warth v. Seldin, 422 U.S. 490, 500, 95 S.Ct. 2197, 2205, 45 L.Ed.2d 343 (1975)). Standing inquiries invoke both constitutional and prudential considerations. Warth, 422 U.S. at 500, 95 S.Ct. 2197.
Constitutional standing stems from the “case or controversy” requirement of Arti-cle III of the Constitution. A plaintiff has Article III standing if and only if
it has suffered an ‘injury in fact,’ which is ‘fairly traceable’ to the challenged action of the defendant, and which would ‘likely’ be redressed by a favorable decision. Standing is lacking if it is merely ‘speculative’—as opposed to ‘likely5— that the plaintiffs injury would be re-dressed by a favorable decision.
In re GT Automation Group, Inc., 828 F.3d 602, 605 (7th Cir. 2016) (internal citations omitted) (quoting United States v. Windsor, — U.S. —, 133 S.Ct. 2675, 2685-86, 186 L.Ed.2d 808 (2013)). The Debtor asserts that he has Article III *209standing because if the Court approves the proposed settlement, he will suffer an “injury in fact” in that he will be precluded from acting as the class representative in the TCPA litigation and will be unable to obtain the statutory and injunctive relief provided thereunder. Debtor’s Memorandum on Standing of Debtor to Object to Application to Compromise Controversy (Doc. # 112) at 8.
However, while a federal litigant must certainly possess Article III standing, the doctrine of standing in the bankruptcy context also encompasses prudential limitations. Bankruptcy standing, a form of prudential standing, is narrower than Article III standing. In re Cult Awareness Network, Inc., 151 F.3d 605, 607 (7th Cir, 1998).5 See also Matter of Andreuccetti, 975 F.2d 413, 416 (7th Cir. 1992). In order to establish bankruptcy standing, “a litigant must qualify as a ‘person aggrieved’ by the [bankruptcy] order. A ‘person aggrieved’ ... must demonstrate that the order diminishes the person’s property, increases the person’s burdens, or impairs the person’s rights.” Andreuccetti, 975 F.2d at 416. In other words,
[t]o have standing to object to a bank-ruptcy order, a person must have a pe-cuniary interest in the outcome of the bankruptcy proceedings. ... Debtors, particularly Chapter 7 debtors, rarely have such a pecuniary interest because no matter how the estate’s assets are distributed by the trustee, no assets will revert to the debtor.
[[Image here]]
There' is an established “exception” to the rule that debtors, do not have stand-ing to object to bankruptcy orders, which is not so much an exception as a careful application of the pecuniary in-terest rule itself. Occasionally, a debtor might be able to satisfy all debts with the assets from the estate and be left with some amount remaining. If the debtor can show a reasonable possibility of a surplus after satisfying all debts, then the debtor has shown a pecuniary interest and has standing to object to a bankruptcy order. ■
In re Cult Awareness Network, Inc., 151 F.3d at 607-08 (emphasis added). See also Andreuccetti, 975 F.2d at 417; In re Nangle, 288 B.R. 213, 216 (8th Cir. BAP 2003).
The “pecuniary interest” requirement was adopted in an effort to ensure that bankruptcy cases aré processed expedi-tiously. As the Fourth Circuit explained:
Courts consistently have noted a public policy interest in reducing the number of ancillary suits that can be brought in the bankruptcy context so as to advance the swift and efficient administration of the bankrupt’s estate. This goal is achieved primarily by narrowly defining who has standing in a bankruptcy proceeding. ... Courts should be chary about [relax-ing the requirements attending bank-ruptcy standing] ... as lax rules which liberally allow parties with some interest in the bankruptcy proceeding, such as a *210Chapter 7 debtor, to contest a proposed course of action, or to appeal an adverse decision, are too likely to generate ‘pro-tracted litigation’ that ultimately serves neither the debtor’s estate nor the credi-tors. Stricter rules .., have the salutary effects of advancing the estate’s ‘timely administration’ ... and shielding the courts from ‘the needless multiplication of lawsuits.’
Richman v. First Woman’s Bank (Matter of Richman), 104 F.3d 654, 656-57 (4th Cir. 1997). See also In re Ray, 597 F.3d 871, 874 (7th Cir. 2010) (purpose of requiring a bankruptcy party to have a pecuniary interest in the outcome of the ease is to prevent unnecessary, protracted litigation).
Here, the Trustee argues that because the Debtor’s only interest in the TCPA litigation is the $500 exemption that he has claimed pursuant to 735ILCS 5/12— 1001(b), he has no pecuniary interest in the outcome of the case and, therefore, no standing to challenge the proposed settlement. However, the Trustee’s argument is premised on an assumption that the TCPA claim is worth more than the Debtor’s claimed exemption. If, as posited by the Debtor on his amended Schedule C, the cause of action is actually worth no more than the claimed exemption, the issue becomes not whether the Debtor has standing to challenge the Trustee’s proposed settlement but, rather, whether the Trustee has standing to settle a suit that is not property of the bankruptcy estate. See In re Ball (Ball I), 201 B.R. 204, 208 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 1996) (“If the full value of the Debtor’s interest in the lawsuit has been excluded from the estate by the exemption, the estate has no interest to settle.”). Ac-cordingly, it is necessary for the Court to determine the value of the Debtor’s inter-est in the TCPA claim.6
In order to assess the value of the cause of action, it is first necessary to have a general understanding of the TCPA and the remedies it provides. The TCPA for-bids the use of any telephone facsimile machine, computer, or other device to send an unsolicited advertisement to a tele-phone facsimile machine. 47 U.S.C. § 227(b)(1)(C). It allows a plaintiff to re-cover the greater of their actual damages or $500 for each violation. 47 U.S.C. § 227(b)(3)(B). These damages may be tre-bled if the Court determines that the de-fendant knowingly or willfully violated the Act. 47 U.S.C. § 227(b)(3). In addition, the TCPA also affords the plaintiff the right to injunctive relief. 47 U.S.C. § 227(b)(3)(A).
While the parties agree that the TCPA claim in this case is based on two allegedly unsolicited facsimile transmissions, the parties have vastly disparate assessments of the claim’s value. The Trustee has ac-cepted an offer to settle the TCPA litigation for $10,000. In support of his Application to Compromise Controversy, the Trustee submitted the affidavit of Mark Pfeiffer (“Pfeiffer”), bankruptcy counsel for Pernix, in which he explains the basis for the $10,000 settlement figure. In his affidavit, Pfeiffer avers that if the Debtor were successful on his TCPA claim, he would recover at least $1,000. Affidavit of Mark Pfeiffer at ¶31. These damages could be trebled to $3,000 if the Court were to find that the violations were know-ing or willful. Id, In addition, the original TCPA complaint asserted claims for both *211conversion and alleged violations of the Missouri Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Id. at ¶ 15. While the complaint was subsequently amended to remove these causes of action, Pfeiffer points out that they have not been with-drawn with prejudice by the Debtor and, therefore, are still a source of potential liability for Pernix. Id. at ¶ 34. Finally, the TPCA complaint requests that the plaintiff be afforded injunctive relief, which Pfeiffer contends “pose[s] a potentially significant and disruptive risk that is difficult to quan-tify but certainly exposes Pernix to risk of injury far in excess of the $10,000 settlement payment,” Id. at ¶ 35
Conversely, the Debtor contends that the value of the claim is substantially lower than $10,000. He maintains that the cause of action has a value of no more than $500. In support of this value, the Debtor of-fered the testimony of Noah Wood (“Wood”), a TCPA class action attorney. While conceding that the two “junk faxes” in question could have a value of up to $1,500 a piece, Mr. Wood testified that in his experience, it was unlikely for a plain-tiff to actually recover such an amount. He assessed the faxes’ fair market value to be. no more than $250 each.7
Further, the Debtor asserts both through his filings and the testimony of Wood that the proposed settlement offer represents an attempt by Pernix to “buy off’ the class representative in order to derail the class action litigation. The Debt- or is the only named plaintiff in the class action suit and the statute of limitations has expired. Thus, another putative class member cannot be substituted as the class representative. Further, a bankruptcy trustee is, as a general rule, not a suitable class representative due to conflict of in-terest concerns. Dechert v. Cadle Co., 333 F.3d 801 (7th Cir. 2003). Therefore, unless the Court finds that TCPA claim is wholly exempt (i e. has a value of $500 or less), the effect of the Trustee’s settlement will be to defeat the class action litigation in its entirety.
The proper analysis for valuing claims was set forth by the Seventh Circuit in In re Polis, 217 F.3d 899 (7th Cir. 2000). In that case the debtor, after filing her Chapter 7 petition, learned that she held a possible cause of action under the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and the Illinois Consumer Protection statute against Getaways, a travel service provider. The debtor claimed a $900 exemption in the cause of action and valued it at $0. In addition to claiming an exemption in the TILA claim, the debtor filed a class action lawsuit against Getaways in which she was the first and only named plaintiff.
The day after the class action complaint was filed, the debtor received a discharge and one week later, her case was closed. Shortly thereafter both the trustee and Getaways moved to reopen the case, as-serting that the cause of action was worth more than $900 and, therefore, had been improperly exempted.
The Polis Court began its discussion by noting that pursuant to § 522(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, the term “value” for exemption purposes means “fair market value” of the property sought to be ex-empted “on the date the petition for bank-ruptcy was filed, unless the debtor’s estate acquires the property later.” Id. at 902, citing 11 U.S.C. § 522(a)(2). According to the Court, the “fair market value” of a *212legal claim is determined by multiplying the amount of the judgment that the plain-tiff would recover if he litigated and won by the probability of prevailing. Id. at 902. When valuing such a claim in advance, it is necessary to “adjust for the uncertainty that its potential value will be realized.” Id. at 903. The Court explained:
When there is uncertainty about whether some benefit [such as a monetary award in a class action suit].... will actually be received, the value of the (uncertain) benefit is less than the amount of the benefit if it is received. A claim for $X is not worth $X. A 50 percent chance of obtaining a $1,000 judgment is not worth $1,000. As a first approximation, it is worth $500 ....
Id. at 903. See also Matter of Xonics Photochemical, Inc., 841 F.2d 198, 200 (7th Cir. 1988) (courts must take into account the contingent value of assets when considering then- value).
Before starting its analysis, the Court notes that there were evidentiary irregu-larities in this case that made it difficult to fully evaluate the claim. As indicated above, the Trustee offered the affidavit of Pfeiffer in support of the proposed settlement. Although Pfeiffer was present at the hearing December 2, 2015 and the Trustee initially offered to have him testify in greater detail as to the averments in the affidavit, the Trustee chose to “stand on the affidavit” after Debtor’s counsel repre-sented that he had no objection to it.
At a subsequent hearing on March 15, 2016, the Debtor, with leave of Court, of-fered both his own testimony and that of Wood.8 It should be noted that on cross examination, counsel for the Trustee did not challenge the values espoused by Wood nor, after hearing Wood’s testimony, did he request the opportunity to supplement the Pfeiffer affidavit or elicit additional testimony.9
Turning to the evidence in this case, Pfeiffer asserts in his affidavit that if the Debtor’s TCPA case were successful, the Debtor would recover at least $1,000, which represents the maximum statutory recovery available for the violations at is-sue.10 This figure, however, assumes a 100% likelihood of recovery. There was no evidence indicating that Pernix properly considered the Debtor’s likelihood of pre-vailing when valuing the claim. Simply be-cause a statute provides that a litigant may recover a certain damage amount does not necessarily mean that he will actually do so.11
*213Likewise, the proposed settlement ap-pears to place great value on Pernix’s po-tential liability for consumer protection vi-olations and treble damages under both state law and the TCPA. Again, however, no evidence was offered to show the likeli-hood of such exposure. Pfeiffer admits in his affidavit that the claims under the Mis-souri Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act were voluntarily dismissed on April 17, 2015 and have not been refiled. Affidavit at ¶¶ 17-18. While admittedly these claims were dismissed without prejudice, no evidence has been put forth to suggest that they will be revived and, if so, whether they will be successful.12
Finally, Pfeiffer states in his affidavit that the proposed settlement includes a release of the request for injunctive relief in the TCPA case. Specifically, he states that “[t]he threat of injunctive relief pose[s] a potentially significant and disrup-tive risk that is difficult to quantify but certainly exposes Pernix to risk of injury far in excess of the $10,000 settlement payment.” Affidavit at ¶35. The Court does not find this averment credible. There is no explanation as to how the avoidance of an injunction as to this individual Debt- or could possibly have a value in excess of $10,000.13 As noted in the Debtor’s Sur-Reply to the Application to Compromise Controversy, injunctive relief as to the Debtor individually would simply involve the issuance of a court order directing Pernix to cease sending any faxes in con-travention of the TCPA to him. Sur-Reply to the Application to Compromise Contro-versy (Doc. #96) at 6. The Court can fathom no set of circumstances in which such an order would be worth more than $10,000 outside the context of a class action lawsuit.
Conversely, Wood, an attorney with ex-tensive TCPA litigation experience, testi-fied that the $250 per facsimile value as-cribed by the Debtor was reasonable in the context of individual TCPA claims.14 While acknowledging that the facsimiles could be worth as much as $1,500 apiece, Wood testified that assigning a claim its maxi-mum possible recovery—before proceeding with the case—was not a fair approximation of its worth. This is because the plain-tiff is not guaranteed a win in any litigation. The witness cited several reasons— such as an “uncollectable defendant” or the availability of a defense—as to why a liti-gant might be unsuccessful. In addition, Wood testified that other “valuable” con-cerns raised by Pernix were unlikely to occur. For instance, Wood’s assertion that treble damages are rarely awarded in indi-vidual TCPA cases was uncontroverted. The Debtor’s value takes into account the probability that he will prevail on his claim *214and the likelihood that he will recover certain damages. The Trustee’s does not. The Court believes that the methodology-employed by the Debtor is consistent with the Seventh Circuit’s directives in Polis and provides a more accurate reflection of the claim’s actual worth. Hence, based on the evidence presented, the Court cannot find that the value of the TCPA claim in this case exceeds the $500 exemption claimed by the Debtor.
Further, the Court has serious concerns that the settlement offer in this case is merely an attempt to decapitate the putative class and thwart the class action litigation. On its face, the settlement agreement purports to settle only the estate’s claims against Pernix and not those of any putative class members, to the extent that they exist. However, the practical effect of the settlement is actually dismissal of the class action suit in its entirety. The Debtor is, at present, the sole class member. If his claim is dismissed, there is no other class representative to step into his shoes and, because the statute of limitations has expired, the action cannot subsequently be refiled by another putative class member.
It is well established that a class action defendant cannot “buy off’ a class representative where a motion for class certification has been made but not ruled upon. “Otherwise, the defendant could delay the action indefinitely by paying off each class representative in succession.” Primax Recoveries, Inc. v. Sevilla, 324 F.3d 544, 546-47 (7th Cir. 2003). See also Alpern v. UtiliCorp. United, Inc., 84 F.3d 1525, 1539 (8th Cir. 1996) (defendant cannot “buy off’ class representatives until class certification has,.been “properly denied” on the merits in order to “proteet[ ] a class representative’s responsibilities to putative class members from being terminated by a defendant’s attempts to pay off the representative’s claims”). As the Seventh Circuit recently stated in Chapman v. First Index, Inc., 796 F.3d 783, 787 (7th Cir. 2015), in class action cases “Settlement proposals designed to decapitate the class upset the incentive structure of the litigation by separating the representative’s interests from those of other class members.” Id.
Because of these concerns, settlement offers related to class action claims must be carefully scrutinized. For instance, in Polis, the Court explained that while a rejected settlement offer is normally good evidence of a claim’s minimum value, this is often not the case in the context of class action litigation. It observed:
Since [the debtor] was the only named plaintiff, since the statute of limitations was running (has in fact now run), and since the trustee in bankruptcy appar-ently had no interest in pursuing the claim against Getaways (another reason to doubt the claim has much value), Get-aways had a chance to kill the class action either by settling with Polis be-fore the class was certified, or simply by convincing the court that the claim should not be exempted and would therefore revert to the trustee. In other words, for $1,500 Getaways may have been trying to buy not only Polis’s claim but, also, in effect, the claims of all the other members of the class as well-“in effect” because Getaways was not offer-ing them anything and because the offer might kill the class action even if Polis rejected it.
Id. at 904.
In the instant case, the Debtor is the only named plaintiff and the statute of limitations has expired. By offering to set-tle the estate’s claim for $10,000, which is over three times more than the highest possible recovery under the relevant sec-tions of the TCPA and twenty times the *215value supported by the evidence, the Court can only conclude that Pernix is attempt-ing to “buy off’ not only the estate’s claim but those of all of the other putative class members as well. This attempt to derail the class action cannot be permitted.
Because the Court finds that the Debt- or’s whole interest in the TCPA claim has been exempted, it is excluded from the bankruptcy estate and beyond the reach of the Trustee.15 The Trustee has no standing to settle a claim that is not property of the estate and, accordingly, the Trustee’s Ap-plication to Compromise must be denied.16
SEE WRITTEN ORDER
. Alan Presswood, D.C., P.C. was originally identified as the named plaintiff in the TCPA suit. However, the Debtor has requested that the District Court substitute him as the named plaintiff due to the fact that he was actually operating his business as a sole proprietorship at the time that the alleged TCPA violations occurred. See Debtor’s Objection to Application to Compromise Controversy and Suggestions in Support Thereof (Doc. # 73) n. 2.
. The suit was removed to the District Court on April 8, 2015. At some point,, the District Court was apprised of the Debtor’s bankrupt-cy proceeding and, consequently, the action has been stayed pending a disposition of the matters before this Court.
. On April 9, 2015, the Debtor filed a Motion for Class Certification in the District Court in an attempt to identify potential class members and to prevent pre-certification settlement of-fers. That motion, however, was later volun-tarily withdrawn. The Debtor testified at hear-ing on March 15, 2016 that there are not yet any known putative class members.
.The Debtor has subsequently amended his Schedule C on numerous occasions. The most recent version, which was filed October 6, 2015, includes the Pernix cause of action. However, it also includes claimed exemptions in four (4) other TCPA claims against various other defendants including St. Lukes, H &H Wholesale, Novasom, and Kaberline. See Doc. #72.
. In GT Automation Group, the Seventh Circuit noted, in dicta, that since its ruling in Cult Awareness Network, the Supreme Court has "clarified the meaning of ‘prudential standing’ and reaffirmed that 'a federal court’s obligation to hear and decide cases within its jurisdiction is virtually unflagging.’ GT Automation Group, 828 F.3d at 605 n. 1, quoting Lexmark Int'l, Inc. v. Static Control Components, Inc., — U.S. —, 134 S.Ct. 1377, 1386-88, 188 L.Ed. 3d 392 (2014). Because GT Automation Group involved only issues of constitutional standing, the Seventh Circuit declined to discuss whether, in light of Lexmark, standing in bankruptcy cases still includes "prudential” considerations.” Without express authority to the contrary, this Court concludes that in the bankruptcy context, a party must still have both constitutional and "bankruptcy” standing.
.' The Court notes that it is not necessary for it to place an exact value on the Debtor’s individual claim. Instead, "[a]ll that is re-quired here is for this Court to ascertain whether the value of the claim exceeds the Debtor’s wildcard exemption, If it does, then the estate has an interest .in the [l]awsuit, which the Trustee may pursue.” In re Ball (Ball II), 201 B.R. 210 (Bankr. N.D. Ill, 1996).
. Mr. Wood noted that while the TCPA pro-vides that a plaintiff may recover $500 per violation, the amount actually recovered often winds up being much less. Because there is no fee shifting arrangement under the TCPA, large attorney contingency fees often con-sume much of the recovery.
.The Court granted the Debtor leave to file additional evidence after a hearing on Febru-ary 17, 2016. The Court believed that state-ments made at the December 2, 2015 hearing indicated that the Court would be willing to entertain additional evidence if necessary. The matter was before the Court for hearing on December 2, 2015 on the Debtor's objection to the proposed' settlement, albeit not necessarily for an evidentiary hearing. It is the practice of this Court to place a substan-tial number of matters on an individual dock-et—sometimes as many as fifty or sixty at one time. Thus, evidentiary hearings are often then rescheduled for a later hearing date. The Trustee filed the Pfeiffer affidavit two days prior to the scheduled hearing. Although the matter had not been specifically noticed as an evidentiary hearing, the Trustee had Pfeiffer available to testify.
. The Court would have entertained such a request due to concerns that the Trustee may have been prejudiced by Debtor’s prior accep-tance of the affidavit and his subsequent op-portunity to put on evidence as to the claim’s value.
. This is the maximum statutory recovery for two TCPA violations. This figure, however, can be trebled for willful or lmowing viola-tions.
. The Court understands the quandary or trick box that Pernix and the Trustee are in with regard to the value of the claim. On the *213one hand, the Trustee, for purposes of this litigation, needs to show that the claim has significant value. On the other hand, if Pernix states, other than hypothetically, that the claim has a greater value or that the Debtor has a substantial probability of success in the underlying action, it could be deemed an ad-mission in subsequent proceedings.
.The Court notes that the Debtor did not list these state court causes of action on his Amended Schedule B. He lists only a "[cjlaim for damages under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 42 U.S.C. § 227 due to send-ing unsolicited faxes. ...” As a result, the Debtor may be judicially estopped by the Dis-trict Court from proceeding on the state court claims.
. On the date that the Debtor filed his bank-ruptcy petition, he had not yet filed a class action suit against Pernix. All he had at that time was an individual cause of action for two unsolicited faxes under the TCPA. Hence, the relevant values are of that individual claim.
. The witness actually testified that the Debt- or’s value was quite generous. In his opinion, the faxes in this case could have a value of as little of $10 to $15 apiece.
. The Court notes, however, that the Debtor filed the class action lawsuit before his claim was exempted and removed from the bank-ruptcy estate. Therefore, at the time that the action was filed, the claim belonged to the Trustee and the estate, not the Debtor. Al-though certainly beyond the purview of this Court, this could raise an issue as to whether the District Court has jurisdiction over the Pernix suit.
. In his objection, Debtor also requested that the Trustee be ordered to abandon the Pernix claim pursuant to 11 U.S.C § 554(b). The Court makes no ruling on this request in this opinion. This Court has previously held that all creditors must receive notice of a proposed abandonment. In re Nordike, 2013 WL 66262 (Bankr. S.D. Ill. 2013). The Debtor has not filed a separate motion requesting abandonment and his objection to the proposed settlement, in which the request for abandonment was buried, was not served on all creditors.
