[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 564076, member: 3907"] Parker, if it does get into the hands of a collection agency, do not speak to them or let your son speak to them. If you do answer the phone, give them no information, don't confirm that the person they are looking for even exists, let alone lives at your address. I know the temptation is to straighten everything out by providing them with information, but you don't want to go down that road. I'm not sure of all the legal intricacies, but collection agencies are bound by a fairly stringent set of rules. However, if you say something to them that allows them to get around those rules, then they're free to hound you. Best to head them off at the pass. [/QUOTE]
