heading for the Depends aisle ..in case I have an accident! Seriously though my question is this..

I know that every time I have ever gone to a Dr., dentist, job application,enrolled in school,applied for credit cards, financing, etc ..I have provided my social..

why is it such a big deal if a collection agency has that information?..and people are always saying..don't ever give out your social..don't carry it on you..blah blah blah..but you've been giving it to people all of your life?...

if there was one dishonest person who crossed your path..people all over the world probably have access to this # now...it is very disturbing how easy it is for people to access this info but to me even more disturbing is what happens to many people once someone else starts using another persons' Social...

I don't provide it unless it is absolutely necessary because of potential id theft. I would never provide to a collector because it would not be comfortable for me to do so.

Bank of America outsources it's customer service to at least one entity called Teletech. If you have a BOA account the non bank employees there have access to your account numbers, name, address, social security number, date of birth, phone number, debit card number (but not the 3 digit security code)

Wyatt, the last post was from 12/23/07. Why in gods name would you post again in such a dead topic? Also I invite you to do so. My state is single party and I know my rights.

I'm also a debt collector, however some of these statements are wrong... just because you are "third party" doesn't mean in all cases that someone "bought" the debt. I work doing "third party" collection on American Express account and my company doesn't BUY anything. All of this is just always debtors trying to find a way out of the bill. You charged the card, or got the loan and now you blame everyone but yourselves. As Wyatt said we are just trying to put food on the table. And as far as a "high school drop out" goes, please understand most can't get jobs without a High school diploma or GED. And to be successful in this industry is to have an education, I don't know ONE collector that makes good money that is an idiot!

And once again we would question the intelligence of debt collectors. This thread is DEAD

Where did you get your GED (Good Enough Diploma)?
