Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in South Dakota

Bill collectors calling

A friend, who used my name as a reference when applying for a school loan a few years ago, is not making his payments and the bill collectors cannot find him. They are now calling me several times a day in an attempt to find him. Is it legal for them to do this? What can I do about it, aside from turning my friend over to them?

Re: Bill collectors calling

No- If they are 3rd Party collectors, they may be in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Have your friend call or email.
