Saw an ABC news story this morning online about the bogus debt collectors calling out of India, esp. for people who've applied for PDLs. Good to hear that the word is getting out!!
Its been in the news for a while now and yes, illegal and offsho
Its been in the news for a while now and yes, illegal and offshore PDLs use callers from India for two main reasons. Indians are of course not aware that they are doing something illegal because they have no idea about Federal laws or the FDCPA. They just read from a script.
Moreover, here in America, these illegal PDLs won't be able to sell off the debts to collectors within the 50 states simply because the collectors here know the laws and the rules and know very well that there is a very slim chance of collecting on an illegal debt.
