The Better Business Bureau (BBB) reports 18 complaints filed against BC Services, Inc. in the last three years. These complaints allege that the collection agency attempted to collect the wrong amount, refused to provide debt verification information, falsely representing the legal nature or character of the debt, and failing to properly serve consumers that it sued. These are all violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), a federal law enacted in order to help prevent debt collectors from using unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices when attempting to collect on a debt.

The FDCPA specifically prohibits many other practices commonly used by debt collectors, including:

  • Falsely representing that they are an attorney or law enforcement officer
  • Contacting third parties about a debt
  • Attempting to collect fees and charges not included in the original contract
  • Falsely implying that a consumer will be arrested if they do not pay
  • Calling consumers before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m.
  • Charging fees not allowed for in the original contract
  • Threatening to commit acts of violence against a consumer or their property
  • Refusing to provide a consumer with verification of a debt it is attempting to collect
  • Threatening to take action they have no legal right to take
  • Making telephone calls without properly identifying themselves
  • Falsely representing the amount or legal status of a debt

Any harassing, deceptive, or abusive practice employed by a debt collection agency may also be in violation of other state or federal consumer protection laws and if those practices are being employed by an agency attempting to collect a debt from you, they may owe you money.

If you believe that BC Services, Inc., Bonded Collection Service of Longmont, Bonded Collection Service, Inc. or Accounts Receivable Management Co Inc. is using unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices in order to collect a debt from you, it is time to hold them accountable for their actions.
