maybe, but wouldn't that be like illegal or something.

In addition, in order for debt collectors to be able to attach wages they will still need to locate you, confirm it, file suit in which you must present yourself, "if" they are awarded a 'judgment' then they can execute to garnish wages. That is the whole procedure. If a debt collector just tells you due to frustration, I hardly doubt he can. Remember there are consumer laws that protect you. I know I do consumer collection management but prefer to perform with a customer service approach where both sides win. Good luck!
