I'm getting enough of these I'm wondering if they make good "scambait" targets. Any advise on repercussions if they're initiated by the other party and no acknowledgement is made whether they have or have not reached the person they're looking for?
Ya'll need to just do what I do... talk sh-- right back to them. Ask them - OH! What county did you file against me? What date was your court order stamped? Uh huh, ok. And what is my address? Where do I work? MMMmmhhhhhhmmm. I see ok. Well, when you get that all together, you gimme a call back then, ok? Ya'll have a nice day there, sweetie. OH!!! BY the way, I don't know where YOU are from but where I am from it is ILLEGAL to harrass, pressure, falsify legal action, threaten or coerce during the collection of a purported debt. You are breaking the law in the great state of Texas. Now pi-- off.

I am amazed by the lack of responsible people. Laws are set in place for people who don't pay bills. Yes there are some collectors out there that don't follow the Law (FDCPA) but there are some that do. Now, people who don't pay bills will put things on the internet about a phone call from a bill collector that wants them to pay for what they recieved, but will they put on the internet that they are themselves people who don't take care of their responsiblity???????
STOP COMPLAINING AND PAY YOUR BILLS YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANYONE CALLING YOU HOUSE OR CELL PHONE..
To all that this applies
Mr. Debt Collector, you are obviously not reading all of this correctly. YES some people dont pay their bills - or CANT. But, I received this very phone call for a payday loan supposedly taken out in October of 2009. I have NEVER nor will EVER have the need to take out a loan for anything. I make extremely good money and I find that some scam artists will go to any extent to make a quick dollar. I'm not one for discrediting the point in your comment - PAY YOUR BILLS, but I DO PAY MY BILLS and I'm still receiving these calls? Seriously, MLA, go kill yourselves.
