The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) was enacted in 1978 to prevent unscrupulous debt collection practices. If you have a past-due debt, you may be suffering from repetitive calls and harassment from a collection agency.
Also, sometimes collection agencies call trying to collect debts that are already paid or that are owed by someone else. If you are being harassed by Account Services Collections, Inc. and you think their actions are FDCPA violations, you may be eligible to pursue a claim against them.

What Is A Debt Validation Letter? And Why Do You Need It?
When a debt collector is trying to collect from you, you will need to make sure that you actually owe the debt in question and the amount that they claim. Law requires that the debt be validated by the collection agency.
If you have any doubts about the debt, such as whether it is your debt or the amount owed, ask Account Services Collections, Inc., to validate it. They have five days from your request to respond.
Their debt validation letter should include the name of the original creditor, the original debt amount, the current debt amount, and other details. If they haven’t responded to your request and validated that you owe this debt and how much you owe, you can file a claim against them for violating the FDCPA.
