When a debt collector calls, do you have to say hello twice before they say anything? I waited for 5 minutes on the phone waiting for them to say something. I can't afford to have them continually call me.


It is quite possible that it wasn't a live person that called you, but a computer. When it got a live person (you) instead of disco'ing the call or leaving a message, you were transferred to a queue. You then got the next available collector. I advise sending them a letter stating you will only communicate via mail (utilize return receipt). While you are at it, send another letter demanding a validation of the debt. You need to send it to them in writing; telling any given collector these things carries no real weight.

Find their address nearest to your place and send a letter to validate your account in case they are collecting for your past debts. See the sample letter here

You should be notified about the debt in writing before they call you again. If there is no response, send a cease and desist letter.
