First Alliance Check Systems – A Debt Collector

First Alliance Check Systems was hired to collect a debt of a certain consumer who ultimately
became our client.   In order to attempt to collect the
debt, they called her at her place of employment.  The
consumer advised the collector at First Alliance Check Systems that
she could not take their calls while she was at work.  Still,
the collectors at FACS continued to call her at work. 
However, that was not all First Alliance Check Systems did to
violate the
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.  FACS went on a
campaign of
harassment which included calling the consumer between 4 and 5
times a day, calling third parties, attempt to collect more than
what was owed on the debt, and threatening her by telling her she
is being charged with check fraud. 

It is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act to
call a consumer at their place of employment after receiving notice
that the consumer cannot accept calls there.  It is also a
violation of the FDCPA to harass a person by making multiple 
phone calls to them.  A debt collector cannot disclose your
debt to a third party or imply that a crime was committed.  As
such, the conduct of FACS by this consumer was indeed a violation
of the law.

This consumer came to SmithMarco, P.C., for assistance
and advice.  We took on representation and filed a lawsuit
against FACS for multiple violations of the
FDCPA.   Rather than even attempt to answer the
lawsuit and defend themselves, First Alliance Check Systems wisely
sought to settle the lawsuit.   FACS agreed to pay the
consumer statutory damages and all of her attorney fees – so she
did not have to spend any money of her own to get our help.
