Just curious would like a legit answer as a collector how would any of you feel if I started a sight publishing your names and phone numbers. You would hate it and yell about fdcpa. Two wrongs do not make a right how does publishing cell numbers help you improve your situation?
Not to be flippant either, but there's no law against it. GLBA
Not to be flippant either, but there's no law against it. GLBA and fdcpa protects the consumer, not the CA.
How did the people on this board obtain such numbers to post? Because the CAs gave those numbers out, or they were found on other websites or phone books. That all becomes public records.

Well I guess maybe no one would have published them if these particular CA's weren't corrupt in the first place...ya think of that? Treat me like trash and I will treat ya the same, treat me with respect and you will get your money. Threatening me has never gotten an CA anywhere with me! And it never will. Esp. when we are finding out that some collection agencies only employ convicted felons! Like a convicted felon should know all my personal information!

I am going to go with the legal approach here.If a companies names or contact info are listed in public records,they have no rights to privacy.The rights of consumers is protected by law as we all know.
Cajun, I agree with your point regarding if something is a matte
Cajun, I agree with your point regarding if something is a matter of public record, then it's OK to publish here. But realistically, I have rarely seen where a home number is a matter of public record. I don't know if a phone number in a phone book would be considered public record--but even so, I have a problem with publicizing one here. A work phone is no problem and I say bring it on, if it's a matter of public record, but doing that to a home number I feel crosses the line. Just my two cents....
If that phone number can be retrieved by using a phone directory
If that phone number can be retrieved by using a phone directory,it is publicaly viewable. Since I am getting spanked for my harsh view on collector's trying to lead astray our members,I won't comment on it further.
OK, that makes sense. I guess a phone book would be a matter of
