I received a collection call this morning...they were looking for my soon-to-be ex sister in law. The voicemail began "if you are not (SIL), please

delete this message."

If thats the case, why was I being called? Did she use my number? Are they hoping I will pass along the info to get? What?

My brother wants the number...he wants to give them her work number and hours of operation. Heh.

Responses:

they want you to call your SIL and mention the message, of course increasing the social pressure, letting everybody know she's a deadbeat, -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 19, 13:57
they are required to, due to the privacy provisions of the FDCPA, I believe -- nm - znufrii Jul 19, 10:16
a lot of times when these agencies do data mining they'll get a next-of-kin or similar number and just go with it. - decline Jul 19, 10:09 1
- Oh, I already told him I would. :) just have to get the info off the voicemail. -- nm - kelly Jul 19, 10:11
I would give it to him. -- nm - amanda Jul 19, 10:08
