Can a creditor call me or my parents over my boyfriend's truck payments?
I've had one collection agent who has called me multiple times about my boyfriend's truck and his location. I have told him that I chose not to get involved in the situation and will not answer any questions that he has. Then he had the nerve to call my parents about repossesing my boyfriend's vehicle. The guy is very snide and condesending going so far as to say that my life was headed into debt because of my boyfriend. He even said that he would come to my university and pull me out of classes to see if I was driving his truck to school. I can't drive a stick!!!! What can I do?
Additional Details
My boyfriend had the truck before he and I even started dating. I have no idea how they got my dad's number. Neither my name or my dad's name is on any type of paperwork concerning his truck. What I'm the most irritated at is that I told the creditor that I didn't want to be involved and he said that was too bad and that he wouldn't stop calling me until I told him where we lived but I just don't want to give out any information. Then he started to call my boyfriend irresponsible and said he was running away from his responsibilities and that I was going to be headed down the same path because we are dating.

Did you or your parents co-sign the truck loan? If so, you can be contacted, but if not, this person has no business bothering you. You need to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (see 2nd link under 'sources', below)

§ 806. Harassment or abuse [15 USC 1692d]

A debt collector may not engage in any conduct the natural consequence of which is to harass, oppress, or abuse any person in connection with the collection of a debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section:

(1) The use or threat of use of violence or other criminal means to harm the physical person, reputation, or property of any person.

(2) The use of obscene or profane language or language the natural consequence of which is to abuse the hearer or reader.

(3) The publication of a list of consumers who allegedly refuse to pay debts, except to a consumer reporting agency or to persons meeting the requirements of section 603(f) or 604(3)1 of this Act.

(4) The advertisement for sale of any debt to coerce payment of the debt.

(5) Causing a telephone to ring or engaging any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with intent to annoy, abuse, or harass any person at the called number.

(6) Except as provided in section 804, the placement of telephone calls without meaningful disclosure of the caller's identity.

record the conversation, get all the information about the debt collector that you can. and then sue him.


jenx880
only if you are listed as a alt point of contact or a co-buyer. Otherwise it's none of your business and they are breaking privacy laws if they give info. If they are harrassing thats again breaking the law. Tell them to never call you again and make a log of the calls. Can't really record the call and use that in court unless you state you are recording up front.

Sounds very abusive to me. Have you or your parents co-signed for the boyfriend? If not, these calls are violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. You could sue, collect up to $1000 damages and also attorneys fees.

Good Answer above

Tell then you will give them the boyfriends number. Then give them a number to any local attorney. Then sit back and laugh.

A truck loan is a first person loan not third party so does no fall under the fair debt collection act. The company that ownes the loan on the truck can try to collect any way they want within reason. But it sounds like your dealing with the repo company. They will hassle you to death. I know I used to repo. He cannot pull you out of class unless you want to go with him. The only way to rid your self of the harresment is by court order, hide for 3-6 months and let it blow over, cooperate and give fake info like send them to the middle of nowhere for the car about 100-200 miles away from the real address(I hate that one), Cooperate and give real info.

You can call the police and have him arrested for harrassement. He can not do come to you. He is legally allowed to call you in attempts to locate your boyfriend if your boyfriend used you or your parents for references. I bet he did. They use referneces to attempt to locate unpaid debt from customers. I would suggest your boyfriend make a payment and that will get them off your back. Good luck.
