I’ve had experience with debt collectors. Honestly, it’s hard to imagine something worse. They called me nonstop. Then they started calling not just me, but all my relatives and friends too. It was especially awful when people who weren’t supposed to know about my debts found out. All of that is in the past now, but I still remember that time with absolute horror.
By the way, as far as I know, debt collectors find info about relatives, close people, friends, their phone numbers, addresses, basically everything, very easily and in just seconds, because we ourselves leave all this info both online and offline. Now I’m trying to be more careful about this and at least use a temp phone number instead of my real one when I need to enter a phone number somewhere. I don’t know if this will really help me if something happens, but I’m calmer knowing my number isn’t ending up on every new website and app.
