I hate when people join a forum, ask questions and then never report back in. I was thinking about it just now so thought I would report.
I called the Debt Collectors ( who are local). They were very nice and explained how they searched my DIL and my son on the internet and then made the connections that way. I ask do you normally send a bill to everyone associated with the debtor and they said no, just the ones who might actually be able to payI asked if I could help with any phone numbers and addresses, work places and their information was actually more up to date than mine, turns out my son was transferred to another position (and city) within the company and it was very current information. I was of no help to them but they agreed to take our address off any association with them and they would no longer contact us. They understand we are going after them as well.
Another outfit, actually a Fed Loan program, contacted us for updated information. The information they had on file was 1 year 8 months old. I asked if he was that far behind but got no information. She said he could be paying online...to which I said if he was current and paying online would you be contacting us for updated information? Stumped her, she did not know how to respond. She said, oh, I see what your saying. The End to this collector for now I think. The feds are protected.
