Natalie, the debt collector should have stopped calling and has no right to call you whatsoever. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, section 805 paragraph (b) and section 806. Also, if they are burning your cell minutes log them and file small claims against the company. Next time they call, talk to a supervisor to have them stop calling you. If you get another call, send registered mail to the company. If they call third time, then I’d sue in small claims court.

I have had this happen to me before, for debts I did not owe–it happened quite a bit the first few years after my divorce. I wish I had done what you did–they were a pain in the you know what!

I don’t know, but I imagine it’s worth a try :)

Would that work if a debt collection company is calling my cel phone & asking for someone else? I’ve told them multiple times that I do not know the person they’re looking for and have asked them to remove my phone number from their database, but they still call.
