I recieved a letter from DCS and was informed that I owed a debt to the VA Dept of Taxation for the years of 1991 and 1993. I did not reside in the state. I am in turn sending them a Statute of Limitations Act Letter via fax and hard copy mail informing them that they need to Cease what they are doing according to the (FDCPA) law. I also checked the State Attorney Generals Office for VA. and verified that the Statute of Limitations for enforcing this type of debt through the courts in Virginia has expired. They have also contacted me at my place of employment and harrassed me which according to the FDCPA is against the law. They also stated that they would garnish my salary and or take me to court. which is also against the FDCPA.
Virginia Statutes of Limitation
Open account: 3 years from the last payment or last charge for goods or services rendered on the account.
Written contracts (non-UCC): 5 years.
Sale of goods under the UCC: 4 years.
Virginia Judgments: 10 years, and renewable (extended) to 20 years.
Foreign judgments: 10 years
These individual accounts are over 17 years old. I also have never received a bill from the State of TN nor the IRS informing me of any debt. I also know that this company has been reported to this site in the past. I was also told by Mr. Ramiro Reyes at DCS that even if you do not reside in a state that you are to pay taxes there, which is incorrect information.
I want other people that have had issues with this company to be aware that they are not alone.

#2 Consumer Comment
Department of Taxation?
AUTHOR: Tammyl - (U.S.A.)

I am confused. If this is a tax bill, and you owe taxes to the state of Va, I don't believe that there
is a statute of limitations. You might want to consult a tax attorney because if it is federal or state taxes, student loans, or back child support, they don't need to sue you. THey can simply come in and garnish your wages. Other types of debt, there is a statute of limitations, and the collection agency in order to collect from you voluntarily have to go through the legal process.
I would get the information and consult an attorney, because it is my understanding that statute of limitations does not apply to back due taxes and federal and state government collections.
Good luck.

This is Tiger, and I just file a report against D.C.S. today.
D.C.S. is nothing but a MOB owned, scavenger collection agency "stalker" type.
They search old court cases for Bankruptcies, divorces, foreclosures, bankruptcies, name changes, child custody cases etc.
Then they start calling people from the Yellow Pages, White Pages looking for the person on the court docs or a relative they can manipulate into giving them for information.
What really gets me, is they don't even care if YOU ARE the REAL PERSON on the court docs. They just want someone who is gullible, and that they can sting for money!
That's "why" most people they contact mysteriously "have a debt in another state than what they reside in or victim has never lived in".
D.C.S. is a FRANCHISE. The people they hire work on commissions, and are the same type that were selling preditory loans that are now being foreclosed on.
My advice, never do business with an collection agency. Their days are number for doing business in the U.S.A.. It won't be long before they will be out-lawed just like thoe "check cashing places".
GOOD LUCK....
