If you are called by a debt collector beware of their caller ID system. “NEVER call them using your home telephone or cell phone” say consumer advocates at Household - HSBC Watch. “These companies have caller ID systems on steroids, so be very careful” the group said. Recommendations include using ‘voice over the Internet’, or “VoIP” which is an Internet telephone using your computer. If you have a high speed connection such as DSL, cable modem, or satellite Internet, visit the Live Phone website for free software, free accounts and free services. “We recommend Stanaphone because it is easy to use” said a programmer for Live Phone. “Just buy a cheap headset and you are ready to make calls.”
You may need to fund the Stanaphone account with a few dollars but the peace of mind is worth it. Your caller ID will show up as a New York number if you use Stanaphone, and the phone won’t ring if you put the software in “do not disturb” mode. Voicemail is delivered to your email account.

I need a phone number to contact someone about a colleciton account.
This website is total bullcrap, Just a giant bunch of whiny jerks that don’t understand that when you borrow money you are required to pay it back. Stop complaining and just pay your debt, if you are in hard times allow the collections dept to work with you rather than acting like you are too proud.
