My husband has a very common first name. Along with their common surname, it is quite easy to confuse him with other persons on paper. Over the last year, it started to cause problems.
I have mentioned earlier, there is a person with my husband's name who have terrible credit and collections on multiple accounts. We live in less than 15 miles from each other.
Lazy collections firms undertake searches based on names and last names and proximity to the last known address resulting in …
My husband to get a wide collection of calls recently.
He has to call each one, straighten the confusion and ask them to stop calling. Some do. Others do not. But when one stops, another starts.
I thought we were the only ones affected by this annoying problem until I shared my displeasure with my dentist. She laughed and said she and her husband had the same problem – they had to fight a lien against their home!
Based on pure annoyance and time spent in the fight against this endless struggle, we have decided to name our child 457983. In this way our kid don't have annoying collections calls that do not belong. Sure, they must fight through primary school, but they'll thank me later.
Is it just us? Or do you have the same problem?
