Daily tip · A demo card, not a judgment

A collection call: first check whether the debt is yours.

01Stop

Someone else’s debt does not become yours because of a phone call. Harassment, threats, and calling your family can themselves cross a line.

02Act
  1. Ask for the creditor, the amount, and the contract, all in writing.
  2. Don’t admit or transfer money on the phone.
  3. Log the time and the words. Call the police if needed.
03Find

Threats or a visit: call 110. If the debt is really yours, negotiate or call legal aid. Don’t borrow new money to pay old debt first.
