My best friend's mother is a 77 year old widow who does seamstress work on her own but in the past, did work for a variety of companies.
This elderly woman, as a result of her business slowing down, became delinquent with her unsecured credit card debt.
She was honest with the creditors and her daughter even spoke to them as well.
What is happening is not only is the bank calling the woman everyday at home and asking her to pay or seek out friends and family for money, but they are calling her past places of employment as well as relatives!
Is this legal?
I can’t stand creditors.
I got chased for medical bills for years that were not mine -— because I was in the hospital at the same time as someone with a similar name.
It was a complete pain in the ass and made me despise the profession as they knowingly lied to me, lied to my wife, etc.
Well obviously the creditors in your case were in the wrong because you didn’t owe the money. Shame on them. But for people who do owe money, it’s hard for me to find any sympathoy when a creditor is dogging them.
They still call for folks at my work no matter how many times we tell them not to call. Guess we’ll have to get their name to actually do something about it.

Until you walk a mile in their shoes.
Sure, if they’ll settle for that.
