X is telling collection agencies she live at our house


What is the name of your state? TX

How can we get my husbands x wife to stop telling collectors that her home number is her work and our home number is her home number and for them to call her there? They divorced 5 years ago and we are getting tired of the calls.

We had one tell us that she specifically told them to call her at our number after 6 and if she wasn't home to ask for HER husband #$@#-which is the oldest son-16 years old.

We have changed our number twice but have to furnish it to her, she turns around and gives it to who ever calls. I guess she give a kick out of it or something. Is there anything we can do to stop this?

Have your husband talk with the lawyer that handled the divorce about the possibility of a restraining order against the ex. Failing that, caller ID and "telezapper" are about all I can suggest.
If the collection agency calls more than once, send them a cease and desist letter {CRRR} saying the party the wish to reach is not at this address and don't call here again.

I'll try it


I'll try it, we explain every time that she doesn't and hasn't lived there for 6 years. Sometimes there will call back a few days later. I didn't know about the letter. Once we tried to get the lawyer to do sometime and he just said that it wasn't important. Maybe not to him, but he doesn't get these calls. We had a collector that was very candid we us, that is how we found out why they were calling us.

You might also try 'reversing' this on her.

You might let her know that if she continues to play her 'games', you will be very happy to provide the debt collector with ALL of her information when they call you.

When they call, simply tell them what she is doing and provide them with her phone number, address, employer information, cell phone number, anything that they need. Heck, you can even give them her drivers license number, DOB, current income, whether she owns any property..... simply 'give her up'. The debt collector will very likely even agree to remove your phone number from her records.... and might even agree to put a note in the history that your number is NOT her number and to not call you in the future.

Why has he spent over $1.35M in legal fees to block disclosure... rather than spend $12 for a VALID birth cert to settle the matter? The 'certificate' he has presented doesn't qualify to get a drivers license, wouldn't allow a child to qualify for Little League, or for a real citizen to get a US passport!

Talking to collection agencies on the phone is like talking to your dog. They seem to be interested and wag their tails a lot.. and sometimes even talk back. It's as if you never said anything, though.
What you say will never be heard by Human ears again, unless it was to their advantage.
Do all business with collection agencies and creditors BY MAIL. Anything on the phone may as well never have been said.
It's a common tactis for people in debt to simply say "that person doesn't live here." The collection agencies have been onto that one for a while, though. They'll just call back the next day in an attempt to annoy you because they assume you're another one of those "they don't live here" people. When they call, get their address and send the letters bigun suggested. If they don't want to tell you, find out what the "star code" is for your phone company that allows you to flag harassing calls. Flag all of them, and then do some additional research to find out who the agency is, then send an intent to sue letter. They'll stop calling.
