Ulster County Consumer Fraud Bureau
BEWARE FAKE DEBT COLLECTORS
If dealing with debt collectors isn’t bad enough, the Ulster County Consumer Fraud Bureau warns of scammers posing as debt collectors. If you owe several creditors, you might be unsure if an unknown caller is one of them. But there are ways to protect yourself. Review your credit reports for inaccuracies. Know your current creditors and how much you owe. Beware of threats of arrests (debtor’s prison does not exist in the United States) and never give out personal financial information to an unknown caller. To receive a free copy of your credit report each year and to ensure there is no inaccurate information, contact http://www.annualcreditreport.com/. The Bureau can be reached at 340-3260.
