Comments on: Debtors’ H…E…Double Hockey Sticks http://www.bloggingawaydebt.com/2007/03/debtors-hedouble-hockey-sticks/ Our Journey to a Debt-Free Life Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:35:00 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Chris http://www.bloggingawaydebt.com/2007/03/debtors-hedouble-hockey-sticks/comment-page-1/#comment-27142 Chris Fri, 16 Mar 2007 17:17:43 +0000 http://www.bloggingawaydebt.com/2007/03/debtors-hedouble-hockey-sticks/#comment-27142 Fantastic link, thanks! I wonder how these collectors are getting their hands on a car for an unsecured debt such as a credit card? A relative of mine went through the same thing. A debt for a cellphone service they never used, went to a lawyer, the lawyer after sending a letter to his home then sued and claimed an address that he had never even lived at! The court bought it, and the debt quadrupled with fees and wage garnishment began. There is no protection for consumers. Even consumers who have NO debt can be caught in a defaulted lawsuit by an agency collecting on a debt they never even owed. Fantastic link, thanks!

But remember, we do have rights and collectors have to follow certain rules. If you feel they are doing something illegal to try to get you to pay, write down exactly what they did. There are organizations out there that will help you with these situations. Yes, collection tactics are scary. But remember, we do have rights and collectors have to follow certain rules.
