A proposed class action accuses Accounts Services Collections of charging an unlawful convenience fee for online payment.
Texas
Accounts Services Collections, Inc. is on the receiving end of a proposed class action accusing the debt collector of charging the plaintiff an unlawful convenience fee for online payment.
The plaintiff, a Texas consumer, alleges he received a collection notice from the defendant in July 2018 that directed him to the debt collector’s website. According to the complaint, the website hosts a payment portal that charges a $6.95 convenience fee for certain payments. The case argues the convenience fee was “neither expressly authorized by the agreement creating the debt, nor permitted by” the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
