NOTICE OF PENDENCY OF CLASS ACTION
 
A Federal Court authorized this Notice.  This is not a solicitation from a lawyer, and you are not being sued.
 
IF NATIONAL COLLECTION SYSTEMS, INC. LEFT A VOICE MESSAGE FOR YOU BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 17, 2014 AND SEPTEMBER 17, 2015, A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT MAY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS.
 
  • A consumer sued National Collection Systems, Inc., also known as National Credit Management, alleging that the company leaves voice messages for consumers that do not disclose National Collection System, Inc.’s name or that it is a debt collector, in violation of the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
 
  • The Court certified a class of Colorado consumers from whom National Collection Systems, Inc. attempted to collect a debt, between September 17, 2014 and September 17, 2015, and for whom National Collection Systems, Inc. left a voice message that did not disclose its name or that it is a debt collector.  The class is defined in response to Question 10, below.
 
  • The Court has entered judgment in favor of the plaintiff, and against National Collection Systems, Inc. However, there is no money available now because there has not been a trial to determine damages yet.  Regardless, your legal rights are affected, and you have a choice to make now:
