Corral Debt Collectors

These days debt collectors are going to new levels to get their money.  Some people say they are getting calls about debts that belong to family members or friends.

If you list someone as a reference on a loan, that person can get calls from debt collectors looking for you.

There are rules debt collectors must follow when calling about debt that does not belong to you.  They can not ask you to pay a bill that belongs to someone else, you are not required to answer any questions, and you can tell them to stop calling.

If debt collectors are calling you for a debt that belongs to someone else and they ignore the rules, report them!
