EVERY DAY
we receive
hundreds of E-mails
and
phone calls from people dealing with
Debt Collectors for the first time. Many of
the letters are heart-breaking: Bank accounts
are emptied without permission, judgments
granted on debts that are not really yours; jobs are
placed at risk by collectors contacting the
employer; neighbors harassed for personal
information in an effort to shame you into coming up
with money. Each story is different and has
its own sad ending.
NEVER NEVER NEVER!
So, if you're a first time
visitor, just doing research or hoping for help,
take a moment to get educated, by reading these short links:

imprisonment, or garnishment of
wages;
-
Call consumers at work when
they knew the consumers' employers
prohibited such calls;

including neighbors, children, and
employers, for purposes other than
acquiring location information about
