HOUSTON – A Houston consumer alleges a debt collector violated federal law when it communicated with him.
Luckie Ford filed a complaint on Dec. 7, 2017, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas against Definitive Consulting Services LLC alleging that the debt collector violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Dec. 13, 2016, he received "threatening" voice message from defendant in its attempt to collect an alleged debt. The suit states he spoke to a representative of the defendant the same day and the representative did not disclose that it was a debt collector.
The plaintiff holds Definitive Consulting Services LLC responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to disclose it was a debt collector in violation of the FDCPA.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks actual and statutory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs and all other legal or equitable relief. He is represented by Seth Crosland of Crosland Law Firm PLLC in Hurst.
