Alleged Violations against National Credit Audit Corporation*

According to PACER, on or around November 15, 2011, National Credit Audit Corporation called a Colorado consumer to collect a debt. When he called back, he told the agency that he did not believe the debt was his and that he would contact the original creditor. During a subsequent conversation on November 17, the consumer disputed the debt.

When he later called the company to obtain an address and account number in order to send a dispute letter, company employees allegedly refused to provide him with that information. When he finally sent a letter, there was no response, but he allegedly received more calls made by an autodialer.

Feeling harassed by National Credit Audit Corporation, the consumer sued the company for:

● Failing to validate the debt
● Using harassing and unconscionable means to collect a debt

The case was later resolved.
