Local Collection SCAM
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
No one is immune to the deceptive practices still floating around out in the Collection Agency world. It’s such a simple way to rake in cash that it’s likely to never stop. Of course, it’s important to handle this situations in a very business-like manner. You don’t want to call and yell at anyone or threaten people. When you call to check up on something like this, you need to make note of who you spoke to, their direct line or extension, the time, the date and actually write out in quotes exactly what they told you. Make them wait while you do so. Have them repeat if necessary. Then, make sure you SAVE this information in a safe place. Remember, the bureaus don’t verify anything, so if this had been reported to my credit report, I would have lost 100+ points without having done anything wrong.
