Are You Being Called By D&A Services, LLC?*

It’s an unfortunate fact that debt collectors frequently resort to abusive behavior to get you to pay a debt. This unprofessional behavior is so widespread that over 40 years ago, Congress had to pass a special law to prevent such mistreatment.

Your Rights Under the FDCPA

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, protects consumers from third-party debt collection practices that are unfair, unconscionable, and abusive. It has been in effect since 1977 and forbids the use of collection practices like those below.

• Using the phone to harass you by calling nonstop
• Refusing to validate the debt and prove that they are authorized to collect it
• Using abusive or obscene language
• Ignoring a formal cease communications request
• Calling before 8:00 a.m. and after 9:00 p.m. in your time zone
• Discussing the debt with your family, friends, and co-workers

Alleged Violations against D&A Services, LLC

According to PACER, on or about March 9, 2016, a collector from D&A Services, LLC called a Florida consumer and allegedly told her that her debt was in ‘pre-legal’ and would be sent to an attorney to start garnishing her wages if she didn’t pay that day.

Feeling harassed by D&A Services, LLC, the consumer sought legal advice before filing a lawsuit against the agency for the following illegal debt collection practices:

• Threatening actions that could not legally be taken
• Misrepresenting the character, amount, or legal status of the debt
• Using false, deceptive, and misleading means to collect a debt
• Using unfair and unconscionable means to collect a debt

The matter was later settled.
