About the Debt Collection Agency: DCI Credit Services, Inc.

DCI Credit Services, Inc. is a locally-owned collection agency with several locations in North Dakota. Since 1958, DCI Credit has been collecting all types of debt including medical, retail, commercial, financial, utility, credit cards, judgments. They also specialize in collecting NSF checks. Their highly-trained collections agents are constantly working hard to retrieve money for their clients' accounts.

This means DCI Credit will use any power within their means to coerce you into forking over your hard-earned cash to pay off an old loan or line of credit which has gone to collections. However, DCI Credit is also governed by the rules of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) which means they are legally prohibited from the following practices:

  • Calling you repeatedly
  • Calling you before 8:00am or after 9:00pm
  • Contacting you even after you have specifically written them not to
  • Threatening you with action or arrest
  • Using abusive or profane language
  • Calling you at work if they've been told it is not allowed
  • Discussing your debt with anyone else

If any collection agency has broken any of these laws while they've been harassing you for debt repayment, you may have grounds for a credit dispute. However, DCI Credit Services prides themselves on providing excellent customer service for their clients. (Just to be clear, their clients are the original creditors who want their money collected. YOU are not the client, you are the consumer.)
