Who Is PDQ Services?
PDQ Services, Inc. is a Georgia corporation. Its Better Business Bureau business profile lists an office at 700 Churchill Court, Suite 200, in Woodstock, Georgia, northwest of Atlanta, says the business was started and incorporated in May 1995, and names Andrew Bennett as CEO. The BBB lists it under eviction and collections-agency categories.
PDQ's website lists its services as dispossessory (eviction) filings, collections, litigation services, judgment recovery, credit and background checks, and online billing and payments. Its site refers to eviction pricing in Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties, which suggests a metro-Atlanta focus. The site states that its communications are from a debt collector.
Why PDQ Services May Be Contacting You
PDQ's mix of services points to landlords and property managers as its core clients. A tenant might first see PDQ's name on eviction paperwork and later receive a collection letter for unpaid rent, late fees, or damage and cleaning charges after moving out. If a landlord got a judgment, PDQ may also be trying to collect on that judgment.
Rental balances often come with disputes about the condition of the unit, the security deposit, or charges for the rest of the lease after an early move-out. Gather your lease, move-in and move-out photos, and any deposit accounting before you respond.
How to Check a Debt PDQ Services Says You Owe
- Ask for the ledger and itemization. The validation notice must itemize the balance from a reference date (15 U.S.C. § 1692g; 12 C.F.R. § 1006.34). Ask for the landlord's full tenant ledger and the move-out charges.
- Check how your deposit was applied. Many landlords must account for the deposit after you move out. If it wasn't credited, say so in your dispute.
- Find out whether there is a judgment. An eviction judgment for possession isn't always a money judgment. Ask PDQ for the court and case number and check the court record.
- Dispute in writing within the validation period. Collection must pause until PDQ mails verification.
- Know the time limits. In Texas, suits on most debts must be brought within four years (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.004), and debt buyers may not sue on time-barred consumer debts (Tex. Fin. Code § 392.307). Georgia and other states use different periods.
What PDQ Services Can and Can't Do
A company collecting residential rent for landlords is a "debt collector" under 15 U.S.C. § 1692a(6), because rent for a home is a consumer debt. When collecting it, PDQ:
- May not charge collection fees or interest that your lease or the law doesn't allow (15 U.S.C. § 1692f(1)).
- May not report a disputed rental balance to a credit bureau without noting that it is disputed (15 U.S.C. § 1692e(8)).
- May not contact your new landlord, employer or relatives about the debt, except to find your address or phone number (15 U.S.C. § 1692c(b)).
- Must stay within Regulation F's seven-calls-in-seven-days limit (12 C.F.R. § 1006.14(b)(2)).
