Send the cease and desist letter certified to the address on the collection letters they have been sending, if cant find, talk to them on the phone, request address to send payment to, and send the letter there

Before the days of no-call lists to cut down on telemarketers, I made a recording of the telephone company "I'm sorry, the number you have called is not in service . . . ." message and put it on my answering machine. Of course, I told my friends and family about it so they would go ahead and leave a message if I didn't answer. I also made good use of caller ID and didn't answer if I didn't recognize the number. If you do use the answering machine message, be sure to include the three tones at the beginning--these tones tell automatic dialing machines that the number is no good, and many of them will remove it from their list. Good Luck.
Of course, the best solution is to either find a way to pay the debt, or file for bankruptcy protection. In the mean time, work on getting a cease and desist letter.

By sending a Cease & Desist Letter. It will stop the telephone harassment, but def. will not make the problem/debt go away.

If it turned right into a joint account & purely he filed financial disaster, then purely his responsibility for it changed into discharged, no longer hers. real, the statute of obstacles for paying for a judgement has exceeded notwithstanding the debt nonetheless exists. frequently that is a debt client who, for a $8000 debt, probable paid $80 for the right to attempt series. in the journey that they reported it with you without her permission first, they broke the FDCPA third celebration disclosure regulation & she ought to absolutely sue them for it. She maximum she ought to get out of it must be $1000, notwithstanding, so there extremely isn't a level to it. basically write up a quit & desist letter & have her call on it pointing out that the SOL has expired. Your very last line is ideal, it extremely is all they could do is ask her to pay, they could't do something to her yet scare her.

When they call, answer and say (WITHOUT AGREEING TO PAY) that you cannot make pay by telephone and want an address to which the money can be sent. This will give you an address. Then you send the letter. MAKE SURE NOT TO SAY THAT YOU ARE GOING TO SEND THE MONEY.

File for bankruptcy. He probably wouldn't need a lawyer, just one of those companies who provide the right forms. In Calif. it costs about $600 to file for bankruptcy.

Tell them it is against the law to harrass you. Let them know you will sue the next time they call. You have to do it in writing and get return receipt requested.
