It is a good thing that the world relies on mobile phones instead of landlines because it gives you the ability to stay in contact 24/7 regardless of where you are at. However, when debt collectors start calling, that instant connection to the world becomes a serious hassle.
I was trying to call my friend yesterday for about three hours when I realized I had forgotten to unblock my caller ID due to a call I had made earlier in the day. I unblocked my caller ID and got through to my friend on the next call.
She was very frustrated because she is behind on many of her bills and she can’t stop collection calls from coming in to her mobile phone. With my “unknown” number compounding the situation, it seemed like she really needed to contact someone that could help her with stopping these calls while she works to pay off her debit.
I felt very sorry for her as I’ve been in her situation in the past. I can’t pay her bills for her so I promised never to hide my caller ID on her again. I also showed her how to put her mobile phone on silent for when she really just needs a bit of quiet time.
