Late last week, Colorado Attorney General John Suthers filed a lawsuit against the David Faith Corporation, a debt collection agency that allegedly violated Colorado state law by operating as an unlicensed debt collector. According to a press release issued by the Attorney General’s office:

The Office of the Attorney General issued an order in late May denying the David Faith Corporation’s application for a debt collection license and barred the company from collecting debts. According to the order, the Denver-based company engaged in fraudulent and threatening debt collection practices, which is barred under Colorado law, and attempted to collect debts prior to obtaining a license from the state. The company’s owner, Chad Lee, also lied on the company’s application to become a licensed debt collection agency concerning his criminal history.

Despite this, the David Faith Corporation has apparently continued to conduct debt collection in Colorado. A tip of the hat to Attorney General Suthers for protecting Colorado consumers.
