A Debt collector has placed a collections account on my credit report for a debt that was incurred by a deceased relative. I did not cosign on the account nor am I the executor of the deceased estate. The original creditor claims that they have a recording of a telephone conversation with me that gives them the right to do this. However, they will not give me any information. I have two issures with this : 1 ) I question the legality of this practice, and ( 2 ), I am certain that recording any such conversation without my consent IS A FELONY in my state.
