Are You Being Called By Duvera Billing Services?

Most debt collectors work on a commission basis, so they try to get you to pay the debt immediately. This means that they’re more likely to swear at you, threaten lawsuits, and ignore disputes. Not only is this conduct offensive, it’s also illegal.

● Calling at inconvenient times
