COLUMBIA, S.C. — The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has permanently banned two South Carolina companies from the debt collection industry as part of settlements resolving FTC charges they threatened consumers with legal action to collect debts that did not exist.
Fort Mill-based National Landmark Logistics and Absolute Financial Services were accused by the FTC of using illegal robocalls to leave messages with consumers that threatened lawsuits and/or arrests. The complaints were filed as part of the FTC's Operation Corrupt Collector enforcement sweep.
