Separately, the FTC is distributing 5,726 checks totaling over $255,000 to consumers who were harassed and threatened by Vantage Point Services, a debt collector based in Buffalo, New York.

In 2015, the Commission and the State of New York sued Vantage Point Services, its executives, and related companies for committing illegal debt collection practices. The company allegedly told consumers that it was a law firm, a process server, and even affiliated with the government.

In 2018, Vantage Point Services and its co-defendants agreed to pay a total of $26.9 million to settle the lawsuit against them. They also agreed to a permanent ban from the debt collection business.

According to the FTC, consumers who receive refunds must cash their checks within 90 days. The Commission never requires people to pay money or provide their account information to receive a refund.

Those who have questions about their refunds must call  JND Legal Administration at 877-389-2224. This firm is responsible for administering the refunds from the FTC.
