Ignoring debt collection calls may make things easier for a while, but it won't make the problem disappear. Your debt situation could snowball and potentially turn into a bigger issue down the road. Your credit score could take a hit if you repeatedly ignore calls from debt collection agencies.

A legitimate debt collector should be able to tell you their company name and mailing address, as well as information about the debt they say you owe. The debt collector should provide information about themselves and their collection agency.

Don't give a collector any personal financial information, make a "good faith" payment, make promises to pay, or admit the debt is valid. You don't want to make it easier for the collector to get access to your money, or do anything that might revive the statute of limitations.
