SHERMAN – A consumer alleges a debt collector failed to send him a required written notice after contacting him via phone over an alleged debt.
David Mack filed a complaint on Nov. 21 in the Sherman District of the Eastern District of Texas against Direct Recovery Services LLC alleging that the debt collector violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on May 29, he received a telephone call from the defendant attempting to collect an alleged debt. The suit states that the defendant is required under the FDCPA to send a written notice advising the plaintiff of the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor and other information and the defendant has not done so.
The plaintiff holds Direct Recovery Services LLC responsible because the defendant allegedly did not send the required written notice within the five days of the initial contact.
The plaintiff seeks statutory damages, costs, attorneys' fees and such further relief as deemed just. He is represented by Chris R. Miltenberger of The Law Office of Chris R. Miltenberger PLLC in Southlake.
