The article details in quite livid detail the extent to which collection firms start phone calls. It points out that these debt collectors do not bother to tell people upfront that often times they have no legal requirement to pay. Only after the person(s) being called inquire do they inform them of this fact.
To me it is one more reason to implement an attorney crafted Estate and Incapacity Plan. By designating an executor and successor trustee you are putting one person in charge of verifying and paying off any of your remaining debts including: outstanding credit card balances, medical expenses, and funeral expenses.
