While I think people should pay their debts, I do think many of the tactics employed by debt collectors are pretty disgusting.
Facebook has privacy settings for a reason.
Use them, people.
They can only harass her only if she allows them access to her page, am I right?
Its illegal for a debt collector to contact anyone else about your debt. But they do it all the time.
The law is specific, no discussion of debt with third parties not even immediat family.
The debt collector did wrong and will pay.
Excellent.
PAY YOUR BILLS.
If a guy has to “cheat” you to get his money back, I’m OK with that.
IIRC, doesn’t the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act specifically prohibit debt collectors from contacting anyone but the debtor regarding the debt.
Somehow, this seems a bit of a problem. She can afford facebook and can’t afford to pay her creditors. Priorities, folks!
This will work great until they slander a party that doesn’t have any outstanding debt - then they’ll get sued and lose a significant sum of money.
I went onto facebook because family and friends kept telling me I must so I could see their pictures they posted.
I don’t update or anything, and I’m thinking I’d like to delete my membership.
Speaking of “debt collectors”, I just got a call from the Republican Senatorial committee, wanting a donation. I told them no. 5 or 6 times, before he finally got it. But I also explained why I wouldn’t give to the party any more and that I would give only to individual candidates that fit my definition of conservative, and that there were too many RINOs that needed to be weeded out.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread. :)
Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
