Don't provide personal or sensitive financial information Never give out or confirm personal or sensitive financial information ? such as your bank account, credit card, or full Social Security number ? unless you know the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector.

To further establish as evidence the date and fact that you sent the debt collector a DV letter, it's a good idea to have someone else mail your DV letter along with an "Affidavit of Mailing". This signed and notarized affidavit by a third party will firmly establish your evidence of mailing the DV letter.

Harassment of the debtor by the creditor ? More than 40 percent of all reported FDCPA violations involved incessant phone calls in an attempt to harass the debtor.

Don't pay, don't promise to pay and don't give any payment information the collector may use later. Ask for information on the debt and say you'll call back to discuss it later. Making a single payment ? even just $5 or $10 ? is an acknowledgment of the debt and can have serious repercussions.
