They are not hounding me for money, I dont owe them anything. They are trying to locate my deadbeat ex-wife who continues to build up bad debt.
Since her credit report shows me as an ex-husband they figure they can harass me for her current contact information.
I would give it to them if I thought it would stop the calls but I know it wont (I tried it before) and the only people I dislike more than my ex-wife (who put be in $32 K worth of credit card debt and then left me holding the bag) is credit card collectors.
collectors are not allowed to do that either.
you are legally a stranger to your ex wife. They can not discuss or harrass you to get to her. period.
still, after 11 years the are precluded from attempting to collect an uncollectable debt. another legal violation.
