What To Do When Bill Collectors Call...
To make bill collectors stop calling, when you get that first
call, you need to respond and do it IMMEDIATELY! To respond to
that first contact, you will need to have these items ready and
within reach:
(1) A log to record who called, from what company, the day and
time of call, the duration of call and a brief description of
the call.
(2) Ink pen and paper/notepad for additional notes.
(3) A recording device to record the telephone conversation
with the debt collector.
Most of the new answering machines, VOIP equipment and Skype
technology come with conversation recorders. At the onset of
the call, YOU MUST take these steps and in this order.
Step #1 To Make Bill Collectors Stop
Calling
Inform the caller that before they can proceed forward you must
according to law notify them that you are recording the entire
conversation for the purposes of insuring that THEY do not
violate any of your rights according to the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION
PRACTICES ACT and your STATE laws.
Step #2 To Make Bill Collectors Stop
Calling Advise them that for the purposes of
keeping official records, you are requesting the name of the
person you are speaking with and the name of his or her
supervisor and the official name, address and phone number of
the debt collection company.
Step #3 To Make Bill Collectors Stop
Calling
Advise them that you will be contacting your states ATTORNEY
GENERAL’s Office, your State’s Business License Division and
the Better Business Bureau to confirm that all of their
licenses and permits are in proper order and they have no
complaints filed against them in the Attorney General’s Office,
with the BBB or with any other OFFICIAL agency that oversees
debt collectors.
Step #4 To Make Bill Collectors Stop
Calling
Advise the
bill collector that you have been advised for legal
purposes, not to discuss any ALLEGED DEBT without having proper
legal representation present and that any violation of your
rights will be reported to the proper authorities. It is
IMPORTANT that you emphasize ALLEGED DEBT. They don’t know if
the debt is actually yours or not; they are assuming it is.
Step #5 To Make Bill Collectors Stop
Calling
Remind them that this ENTIRE conversation was recorded and that
they have been PROPERLY and OFFICIALLY advised that any and all
communications from them from this moment forward must come via
mail to the address they have on file.
To Make Bill Collectors Stop Calling You Must Live
By The “DO NOT” Rule!
DO NOT provide ANY information whatsoever to the person on the
phone or to their supervisor or to any representative of any
debt collection agency. DO NOT provide your social security
number. DO NOT provide your work telephone number. DO NOT
confirm any information they may have. DO NOT negotiate a
payment plan. DO NOT state that you will be making a
payment. DO NOT do anything except what’s included in the
five steps. DO NOT break this rule under no circumstances!
To Make Bill Collectors Stop Calling Remind Them of
The Facts of Life
If they ask for your address, have them to repeat the address
of record they have on file. If they insist on attempting to
obtain information from you, remind them of step #4, that you
have ALREADY notified them that you have been advised not to
discuss any ALLEGED DEBT without legal representation.
Inform them that because of their badgering and pressure you
are starting to feel emotional distress and will contact your
Attorney General and State Licensing Officials if the illegal
browbeating and coercive tactics continue. Remember, to make
bill collectors stop calling, you must take this position and
use this type of language; its all they understand.
