( jalopnik.com )

Here’s Why Your Garbage Collector Hates You Comedian Theo Von invited a New York City garbageman to talk on his show This Past Weekend last week. It’s an incredible three-hour look into the inner-workings of life as a refuse picker upper.

I keep getting called by a debt collector, but I have no debt?

( www.reddit.com )

I keep getting called by a debt collector, but I have no debt? So for the past several months, I have been called by multiple debt collectors. I had a medical bill of around $1600 that I was a few days late on paying (but it was not on my credit card, it was on my mothers), and so I got a call from a collection agency. I went to the medical office that I owed the money to and paid them back in person. A mon…

Received notice from debt collector who bought from another debt collector that bought from another debt collector… I received an e-mail from a debt collection agency we’ll call DC3 saying they are collecting a “current debt” I owe to another agency, DC2. I don’t recognize either companies and after looking them up DC2 seems to be legitimate (and litigious), but DC3’s credibility is disputed. However, when I saw the balance, I noticed it matches the amount ow…

( www.reddit.com )

USA/CA – I think my mom is being scammed by a debt collector. How do we verify legitimacy? I recently took over my mom’s finances and noticed a strange debt collection email she gets every month. A debt collector agency emails my mom every month asking her if they can “process payment”. My mom usually replies with “Yes” and they deduct money from her bank account. In the past, if my mom didn’t have enough money that month, they’d jus…

Help with debt collector and credit score

( www.reddit.com )

Help with debt collector and credit score Reddit Hi everyone. I’ll try to make this short as possible. I understand the rules so the TLDR version of my question is mostly if I should just pay the debt collector through their website, or is there something else I could do to get this off my credit score? I’m a VERY anxious person and so this whole situation has stressed me out beyond wor…
