- heatherEveryday once a day. No voicemail.
- Frank| 4 repliesIt's NCC a debt collector. They call constantly even though I don't know the person they're asking for and they don't believe you no matter what you tell them..
- Caller: NCC
- Call type: Debt collector
- BigA replies to Frank| 3 repliesThey will believe you if you inform them correctly. Simply telling them makes you look like you are trying to dodge them because that is one of the oldest tricks in the book.
You must send them a certified, return receipt "not me" letter. Then if they call you again you can sue them for thousands of dollars in settlement. - post pending moderator approval
- Anon replies to BigA| 1 replyBigA, That seems like an awful lotta hassle (and it even costs money and requires an annoying trip to the post office) when most ppl would just block the #. (I’m sure the settlement thing works once in a million tries…AND it costs money to sue too.)
- Nimrod replies to AnonI guess you must find it "an awful lotta hassle" to use the internet, because BigA posted over a year ago.
As to your "objections":
You are right, it does cost a few dollars to send a certified letter, and you might have to give up having a Venti Latte at Starbucks that day, but it is hardly a budget breaking amount.Anon wrote:… it even costs money …
Oh, heaven forbid that anyone should ever have to go to the Post Office. Unfortunately, the only form of communication with a debt collector that the laws recognize as legally binding is written correspondence sent through the Post Office. So that " annoying trip " has to be made.Anon wrote:… requires an annoying trip to the post office …
Which mean most people will still get calls from the debt collector, who will switch to another number after not getting a response, then another and another and...Anon wrote:… most ppl would just block the #.
And then, they will sell the debt to another collector and the cycle starts over again. However, that "not me" letter stops them from calling and if they sell the debt to another collector, it has to be included in the paperwork that is passed over in the sale, so the new collector cannot call either.
Actually, the success rate for such suits is very good when a copy of the letter and the delivery receipt are presented in evidence.Anon wrote:I’m sure the settlement thing works once in a million tries …
Not necessarily, there are lawyers that take cases on a "contingency basis" and the plaintiff does not have to pay a penny out of pocket, win or lose, since the lawyer gets paid a percentage of any monetary award and they write the complaint such that, when they win, the defendant has to pay their legal fees.Anon wrote:…AND it costs money to sue too.
On another note:
Seeing that you are replying to a post made over a year ago, I have a feeling that you fall into one of three categories:
1 You are a Troll, trying to start an argument with BigA.
2 You work for this debt collector and are trying to do "damage control" by trying to misdirect people from the actions they should take in dealing with debt collectors.
3 (Considering how much you gripe about spending money.) You are actually a debtor who is hounded by debt collectors and BigA's post reminds you of your sorry plight, so you are trying to strike out at him out of spite (which also places you in category 1).
