A jury awarded Allen Jones over 1.5 million dollars for violating the
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Representatives from Advance Call
Center Technologies not only continued to harass Jones to pay the
non-existent debt, a debt of less than $200 that Jones previously paid,
but they repeatedly left horribly offensive and vulgar voice mails
filled with profanity and disgusting racial slurs on his cell phone;
Allen Jones stood up to this deplorable and illegal behavior that violated his rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Jones and his attorneys won. The Dallas County jury awarded Jones $50,000 in mental anguish and $1.5 million in punitive damages.
"We made a statement and the statement is we will not tolerate abusive debt collectors," Jones said of the win.
Bravo for Allen Jones!

I dont believe for a second this is what it appears to be, I tried to tell abc news so ill keep up my goose chasing. See I know people and the mexican guy who was the caller wouldnt do that for his cut of a piddly 80 bux debt, im telling you Jones and that guy have met at sometime in the past, the caller had prior jailtime, they know each other make the connection and you see the obvious, it was a scam, Im no conpiracy nut, i am a nut like tvs monk and Ill keep telling the truth to someone who can do a background check finds the keys, most likely jones and the caller were in jail at one time together
