Credit Tip: How to Deal with Debt Collectors

September 132009

When dealing with a collection agency, the most important this is to stay quiet. Say as little as possible. Ask for information about the debt in writing — they are required by law to comply. This gives you time to research your options.

Did you also know that debt collectors are not allowed to call you at work if you’ve told then your employer doesn’t allow such calls?
