Allen Jones, was recently awarded $1.5 million dollars for offensive and explicit voice mails he received from a debt company.

In August of 2007, when attempting to collect a debt, Advanced Call Center Technology in Dallas, TX sent eight threatening and racist messages on Jones’ mobile phone.

Jones, who is African-American, received messages that included racial slurs as well as profanity.   A collector was quoted as saying:

“Get your moth*rfuc*in   A$$ up and go pick some motherfu*kin cotton fields.”

“This is your mot*erfuc*kin  wake-up call you little lazy a** bit*h.”

“This shouldn’t be tolerated. Nobody should have to experience what I had to experience,” Jones was quoted as saying.

Jones sued the company in a Dallas court and was awarded $50,000 for mental anguish and $1.5 million in punitive damage.  The collection calls he received were to collect a sum of $200.
