Fair Debt Collection Practices Act

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act promotes the fair treatment of consumers by prohibiting debt collectors from using unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices.

This act applies to professional debt collectors who collect on loans they did not originate. Though it technically does not apply to banks, department stores, and other lenders who collect their own debts, no reputable lender is permitted to use such practices.

* Debt collectors are permitted to contact people other than the debtor only to locate the debtor or make a reasonable effort to communicate with the debtor about the debt.

* After making contact, debt collectors are required to send written notice informing the debtor of the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor, and the fact that the debt will be considered valid unless disputed within 30 days.

* Debt collectors are prohibited from harassing, oppressing, or being abusive in collecting a debt. This includes using threats or obscene language, publicizing the debt, making annoying or anonymous telephone calls, and misrepresenting the identity of the collector, the status of the debt, and the consequences if it is not paid.

If debt collectors violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, consumers can sue for actual and punitive damages.

Funny thing, but when you pay your bills (as you promised/agreed to when making a purchase using Credit) and don't spend more than you make then bill collectors don't know who the hell that you are and therefore never call you.

I can't speak for current joiners of the web. But for those of us who joined when I did (98) or earlier, I think most of us didn't know what hit us when the web changed from Web1 to Web2. I think some still don't know. I can't fathom why Facebook needs my real identity and besides needing it feels compelled to post it for everyone to see. Why can't I just be "Mele20" or "DottieArtiist3", etc. at Facebook? Why on earth would I be forced to give my real name, a real photo of myself and/or a private, unlisted phone number? That is utterly absurd to me as a person who "came of web age" during Web1. ...

What I can't understand is why anyone (even those coming of web age during Web2) would feel they need to put their full name, address, phone number, personal real photo of themselves, on a social website in order to use that website to communicate with friends and family. You would just lie if the site demanded stupid things like your real name and your unlisted phone number. You would keep your page closed to all except your friends and family and they would have to agree to address you either by your handle or first name only and not publish any information that could be used to trace to the real you. But your friends and family would know who your handle represented. This could be extended, if you decided, to anyone on that social network. This is how it was during Web1 days. What happened so suddenly to make many embrace Web2 and enthusiastically give up very fast all privacy that they had on Web1 and that was expected on it? People's minds got corrupted really fast. I keep wondering what Koolaid did so many people drink and how were they induced so rapidly to drink it?

Talking in San Francisco over the weekend at the Crunchie Awards, which recognise technological achievements, the 25 year-old web entrepreneur said: “People have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people.”

He went on to say that privacy was no longer a ‘social norm’ and had just evolved over time.

"When I got started in my dorm room at Harvard, the question a lot of people asked was, 'why would I want to put any information on the internet at all? Why would I want to have a website?'."

"Then in the last 5 or 6 years, blogging has taken off in a huge way, and just all these different services that have people sharing all this information,” he explained.

Suppose the purchase price was zero (as in the case of most of the software give-away offers that pop up by 'name' companies from time to time)... would I not still have to go through an information-submittal process as well? (Hint: the answer is "yes", because that's how those offers do work.)

Now, Facebook is providing a no-charge "social network" service (paying for it with user information and/or ads served to the user). Why is there an expectation that users are entitled to the no-charge service without providing any information or identification? And, more significantly, why is FB "wrong" in demanding account-applicant identification, in whatever sense of the word "wrong"?

facebook is a social website like myspace a place for people to meet and do stuff not a online shop your personal info on facebook will be viewed by every one becuase facebook will take that info an put it in your profile that most people dont know how to setup an use the privacy settings to protect themselfs against pedos stakers or serial killers i been reading about fb there have already been kidnappings an rapings happening at fb just google it

Do you trust people that you have never met or ever laid eyes on before, with your personal private information, such as SS# or credit card number?

If I were to purchase a service or product somewhere on the Internet (either with or without a EULA indicating some of my personal data would be shared), would I not expect to have to unmistakeably identify myself and/or provide information if I elected to proceed?.......

.....why is FB "wrong" in demanding account-applicant identification,....
