How can you deal with GC Services debt collection agency?

A lot of collection calls can be very harassing. Here is what you can do if a collection agency harasses you:

  • Dispute wrong debts:
    Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), a collection agency (CA) must ensure that they contact the right person when pursuing a debt. It is not a violation of the FDCPA if the CA makes a mistake due to an error in their record keeping. However, once the CA has been informed that they are calling the wrong number, under the FDCPA they are required to stop.
  • Expiration of the SOL :
    Sometimes collection agencies keep calling about a debt even after the Statute of Limitations (SOL) on the debt has expired. If you know the debt you are being called about is yours and the SOL has expired, then you should remind the CA that they cannot sue you for the debt. However, even if the SOL has expired, you will still owe the debt.
  • Report misleading tactics:
    Under the FDCPA, a CA cannot mislead you in any way. If a CA causes you any damage as a result of misleading you, or by violating the FDCPA, you are allowed to sue them for punitive damages. In addition, the CA may be subject to a fine for up to $1000.
  • Legal help for continued call harassment:
    Once you have sent a dispute letter, the FDCPA requires all collection calls to cease until the CA has validated the debt. If you decide to sue the CA, you should have copies of all the written correspondence, including envelopes and mail receipts to present to the court as evidence. You may record the phone calls made by the CA but you need to inform them before you do it. Once this is done, you may contact your State Attorney General’s office and file a complaint.

GC Services or GC Services Collection agency seem to be born violators of fdcpa and FCRA .We go to them to consolidate our debts and hope that they follow the book, but they seem to be least bothered about reputation. They always have people to vouch for them.Their services are the worst but I have had no problems of harassment till now. If that too were added the picture would be complete.

Sub: #23 GC Services made me and my wife question identity theft!Mon, 12/19/2005 - 22:20


These people contacted my wife to collect on an apparent delequent account. We called the creator and they said the account is not even overdue and should not even be in collections.

A phone conference between the creator, GC Services, and my wife took place a few weeks ago. The creator told the GC Services rep that it should not be in collection and remove the account. Since that time, we have been harrasses several times by phone and one more treatening letter. They will not even call the creator to verify this. They just continue to press for the collection.

Should I consider hiring an lawywer?

DK,

Send them DV letter. You have the right to ask for some written log before paying them. If they can validate the debt then only you need to pay. While corresponding, send them CMRRR.

As per as limited resource is concerned, you can consider debt consolidation program to pay off your debts.

Vogel18,

If you feel that they are violating the rules file your complaint with FTC, BBB. Also complain to your State Consumer Protection Agency. You can consult a lawyer anytime.

Ask the company to send you the loan details in writing. If you get it from them, you will be able to place it on dispute.

Get the [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=2]GC Services collection agency address [/SIZE][/FONT]and send all your letters certified with return receipt requested. You will have proof of your actions taken.

This company have been contacting someone else home concerning me during the month of December. I have no idea what they want. They have not sent any documents to me concerning their claim, nor do they have a telephone number to reach me.

Sub: #29 GC Services student loan scamFri, 12/23/2005 - 13:14


These people are garnishing me for an old student loan - at least threatening to. Now, the gov shows I'm not in default on any student loan - and I only had government loans, and these idiots refuse to provide any information on the loan or even their company info - I had to google the number from Operations Division. They told me they were going to attach a house that I no longer own.... When I said I wanted to consolidate they said I couldn't and the NASTY A$$ supervisor came on line and said I would be garnished next payday. Just whom do I register GC Services complaints with?

Sub: #30 Now, student loans are completely separate issue. Wage garnishmeFri, 12/23/2005 - 14:18


Now, student loans are completely separate issue. Wage garnishment is possible to collect a default student loan even without court order. Also student loan has no statute of limitations. So make sure all your student loans are paid.

Department of Education assign student loan to some specific collection agencies only and they are supposed to maintain the guidelines stated under fdcpa. If you find them violating these rules you can contact with DOE and report against them.

You can consolidate your student loans. However, if the loan is tagged has default already, rehabilitate it before going for consolidation. You can go through credit counseling to know your options. Consolidation will relieve from the headache of receiving collection calls also.
