Is FBCS Collections Calling Your Cell Phone?

If you are receiving calls from Federal Bond and Collection Service to your cell phone you are in luck. Hopefully they left you a message with their automated dialer and you still have a copy of the voice mail because each call from any of these numbers made via an automated dialer to your cellphone is worth $500 - $1500 under Federal Law. (866-594-8640, 866-594-8641, 866-594-8642, 866-594-8643, 866-594-8644, 866-594-8645, 866-594-8646 and 866-594-8647) Your state laws may be different so make sure you research before you sue them.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act makes calls from an automated dialer to a cellphone illegal and in some states it is criminal unless they have your prior express permission. I don’t know of anyone that would give a collection agency permission to call a cellphone with an automated dialer!

If they have called your cellphone with an automated dialer make sure you report it to the Federal Trade Commission as well as the Federal Communications Commission. The fact that they called your cellphone with a robo dialer is a violation of both the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
