First to make it clear: I don't owe anyone any money. I have one credit card I pay on time every month, and all my other bills are fine too.
But this woman (I know her name too) uses my phone number over and over again as her contact number. I remember opening a thread on this last time it got bad, and a lot of that advice worked for a while.
Here is what I have done:
-talked to my phone company, there's pretty much nothing they can do
-just not answer unrecognized numbers... this results in dozens of voicemails.
-try to talk to the collections agencies.
This is the worst. She has some serious people after her, including a private eye from Florida. The collections agencies won't believe that I don't know her. When I try to call them back, they say they can't access the file, or they just hang up on me-- which is what just happened. I said "I have someone who tries to use my phone number, her name is----" hang up.
Also, I don't know how much she owes but there are at any given time several different agencies calling. They don't abide by the law either, they call at all hours, sometimes dozens of times a day, sometimes every five minutes.
Short of filing a police report (fat lot of good that would do me) does anyone know how to stop these shenanigans?
