[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think debt collectors look for relatives and ask for money, don't they? It's not necessarily that your brother pretended to have your address. [/quote]

They most certainly do not unless it's the kind of debt collector that works for the mob. [/quote]

Not correct.  They will go around to relatives.  They’re not the most ethical group of people.  [/quote]

Do you think Bank of America tracks down relatives? [/quote]

I mean, are you guessing, or speaking from experience? The posters that have spoken to the affirmative, are speaking from experience.[/quote]

The only reason BOA is tracking down a relative is if OPs brother has a second underwater mortgage on his $2.5 million home that they financed and is now in foreclosure.

They do not care about small-time $3K credit card debt.

Her brother needs to tell her what he did or what shady characters put up cash for his homes.[/quote]

Of course they care about 3K credit card debt!! What a ridiculous statement. They care about ANY debt and will do what they can to collect it. If they sell it to another company, then that's what the company is in business to do -- collect the debt they bought.[/quote]

You’re an idiot. They write those losses off as pennies on the dollar. It costs more to hire an investigator for a week than to go after small-time like that.

If OPs brother has people knocking on relations doors he got that money from somewhere that would rather beat him up than lose it. Like a shark.[/quote]

They do not write it off until they've tried unsuccessfully to collect it. Then they sell the debt -- to a company whose sole reason for living is to collect the debt. The courts are FILLED with people being sued for small amounts of credit card debts. You don't know what you are talking about.[/quote]

You realize the courts have been backed up since 2020 right…they barely are able to tackle case loads that rightly should have been decided 36 months ago.

But I’m done - let OP tell us what her brother got into. I guarantee it’s not a private investigator charging for what amounts to one of his several invoices though. [/quote]

What her brother got into ? He got into debt.[/quote]

Different levels of debt. Having someone knock on a relatives door? $$$
