Somebody please explain to me the restraints on collection agencies and others when calling about a debt.
First of all my telephone number is unlisted and yet they seem to be getting it anyway. Second of all I get voice mail messages saying "This is so and so, this is not a solicitation you need to call XXX-XXX-XXXX" for resolution. There is often not even an account reference number. They don't say where they are from or which account it is in reference to.
