WalletPop had a post yesterday about the dirty tricks of debt collectors.
The article highlights an experience of Ken Golde, who harassed by debt collectors after his business partner died unexpectedly, leaving him to deal with more than $200,000 in debt.
This may be an unusual case, be it show how some debt collectors have no decency and will stop at nothing to get their pound of flesh, or in this case their payment.
The article details some of the tactics that deb collectors aren’t supposed to use, after the passage of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). But, of course, some collectors still use those tactics.
The article is mostly a collection of vignettes of people unfortunate enough to have been targeted by unscrupulous debt collection agencies, and lists some web sites to visit if you too are being harassed by collectors.
If you want to try a few things on your own, before contacting a 3rd party for help, you may want to read 4 Options for Bills in Collections, 3 Tips For When Collectors Come Calling, and 7 Ways To Beat Back Debt Collectors/.
Those articles won’t cost you anything, and they may give you some background before you need to deal with another collector.
