Best Answer

You have two options: You can find out if your state allows you to record a conversation with the other person giving you verbal permission. If you can tell your grandparents to record this information, make sure you catch them telling your grandparents your personal informaiton. Then you either contact a "Consumer Law Attorney", or you file a small claims court order towards the collection agency. They have violated your rights! Take them to court! You can also go to creditinfocenter.com and purchase a book that is called, "Turning the Tables on Your Creditors". Read the Credit Reporting Laws, Fair Credit Reporting Act, and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Good Luck with this process. One more thing if you purchase this book, The FCRA, and CRA laws will be included. Wanda Improve Credit, LLC

Can an Ohio debt collector garnish your spouses income in Michigan if the debt was originated in Michigan-Are they bound to Ohio law or Michigan law?

The rule is the debt collector is bound by the laws of the state the collection action is being taken in. If the debt collector is not licensed or authorized in that state, it cannot legally act to collect the debt. Check with your state agency that licenses debt collectors. The debt collector can retain a local attorney to collect the debt, of course, and that would be under Michigan Law.
