Have been getting collection calls on my new pre pay phone that I activated less than a week ago. Seems that the person who had the number before me is in deep debt doo dah.

Yep, requesting a new number won't do much good because most people who have pay as you go cell phones have bad debts, so you are going to get collection calls for the previous owner of that cell phone number. I have found that by simply answering the phone and telling them they have the wrong phone number gets them to stop calling you in most cases. If not, then get their address and send them a cease and desis letter. That almost always works.The world's simplest C & D Letter:
"I demand that you cease and desist from any communication with me."
Notice that I never actually mention or acknowledge the debt in my letter.Comment
