A proposed class action lawsuit has been filed against GC Services Limited Partnership over claims that the debt collector failed to comply with federal debt collection law. The plaintiff in the case says the defendant left several “pre-scripted or prerecorded” voice messages on her answering machine in which it failed to identify itself as a debt collector attempting to collect a debt.

On top of that, the case alleges, the plaintiff received a collection letter from the defendant stating that the validation period during which she could dispute the debt began with her receipt of the defendant’s “INITIAL WRITTEN NOTICE.” The suit argues that the letter failed to specify whether a previous notice had been sent and therefore did not adequately communicate the length of the plaintiff’s dispute period.
