Where Does One Draw the Line with Visiting Teaching?
I just have to ask my fellow viewers if I was out of line today. We for some reason get people that move in and out of our apartment complex that leave our number for debt collection agencies. It just so happens these people are always someone I visit teach or someone that is my VT companion. I am getting really tired of them giving out our number. There is one couple that still live in our complex that gave our number out as the number to call to get in contact with them. This particular couple is moving. In fact the wife already moved and the husband is just here for the rest of the month. This debt collection agency calls us every day leaving messages. Today I happened to pick up. I told the agent that this person does not live in this apartment and gave them the apartment number they live in. The agent then said that they gave this number to them with. I was a little peeved so I gave the agent both their numbers and told him that they are moving to California at the end of the month. the guy didn't even have his wife's name or number for heaven sakes. I then kindly asked them to not call us anymore. OK, Ok, maybe I acted a little hasty, but how dare they give out my number without my permission! Now tell me honestly...Was I too hastey? Where does one draw the line; especially with VT?

Wow that is steping over several lines, VT or not. i know it's frustrating haveing to feild other peoples calls. it's just another thing to wake the baby up or disturb your nap, plus the added stress of what do i do with a call that is not mine to deal with (are you their answering service, cuz really that's all you could do about it, take a message!). i would have told them that i didn't want them to use my number. it hasn't anything to do with you and really it's none of your buisness. that's their problem, and though she could vent to you about it she shouldn't give out your number for you to deal with it!
they never even talked to me about giving my number out. that is what peeves me. also never told me about the financial pickle they were in. Thanks for validating me.
So, people are just giving out your number to others (i.e. collection agencies?)
That is way over the line. That's completely rude, insensitive, and idiotic. I would be less than nice to those calling; then I'd be even less nice to those who gave out my # in the first place. To me, that's unethical.....and they ought to know that.
Most move out before the agencies start calling, the others are almost gone, but I called the collection agency and gave them the correct number. They said they would take my number off the list.
There's no question in my mind.
All you did was tell the truth. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. You have no responsibility to cover up a lie. In fact covering up their lie would make you in the wrong.
Thanks mammamia.
Seriously, your experiences crack me up! One of a kind! I really can't believe that this is happening to you! I can't believe people will do that to you? What will your neighbors do next? Leave your number to the porn. star?!?!? LOL! J/K out of line, but really! Come on. That has to be out of control!
krystella- it is out of control. I am glad that I amuse you. LOL
