Free Report On Why Debt Collectors Illegally Contact Third Parties

By M. Stan Herring

One of the worst type of abuses that debt collectors commit is contacting third parties (anyone other than the consumer or the consumer's spouse) to collect the debt.

Sometimes the collectors call co-workers. This is known as an "office party".

Sometimes neighbors are called by the abusive collectors - this is known as a "block party".

The reason this type of illegal conduct is done is simple - it works. Nothing works quite like calling a consumer's mother or preacher to bring that type of pressure down on the consumer.

This is also highly illegal and should normally result in the abusive debt collector being sued. We have more and more clients coming to our office to sue for this type of outrageous behavior.
