Your first mistake is picking up.

I'd suggest making your voice mail/answering machine as an ear piercing noise. That way if anyone is on the line they'll think twice before calling your home again.

Benjamin Franklin left the Constitutional Convention in 1787, He was approached by a Mrs. Powell, who asked him, "What have you given us, Dr. Franklin?"
"A Republic," he replied, "If you can keep it.

"If you want to make someone angry, tell him a lie; if you want to make him furious, tell him the truth. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed, and third, it is accepted as self-evident". - A. Schopenhauer Philosopher"

Your first mistake is picking up the phone. Don't talk to them
at all if you have no funds to put against what you owe.

Tell them you don't know what they are talking about and that they should send any documents in their possession that you've signed to you for your inspection. Tell them they have 30 days to comply or else you'll consider their claim null and void and take appropriate action should any negative spot on your credit exist as a result.

Re: What do you tell the bill collectors when they call?
I like to calmly inform them that I will not be paying them ever. This usually results in them telling me that I have too. Then I explain that I am infact an adult and I don't have to do what they tell me to do. They usually get angrey now, at that point I explain that there's no real reason to get upset somtimes you lose some and they probably should not bother to call because I will be blocking there number if they call again. They usually hang up at that point.

Don't tell them anything, send them a cease-and-desist letter. By law they have to stop calling you once they receive it, and you can make them pay you $1000 for every time they call you after that.

Re: What do you tell the bill collectors when they call?
There are laws to protect you! Get a lawyer involved pro bono. We fight these all the time and win every time!!

You can get big $$$.

There are lots of things they can not legally do or say over the phone. Keep a log and get em!!

Once a lawyer is involved, a single call can ruin their case. The jusdge is on YOUR side...
