A Gadgetology study on social media conducted by Retrevo recently discovered that 32% of all respondents have posted something online that they regret. For many people, this meant posting racy photos on Facebook, airing dirty family laundry, or even letting slip about an affair.
But if you’re in debt with loans in default, social media could be dangerous even if you keep all your comments and photos clean and professional. An alarming trend has creditors taking advantage of social media to track down holders of delinquent accounts.
Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter are just a few of the social networks creditors are using to track down delinquent debtors — who may have foiled creditors attempts by changing their address, phone number, and even their job to avoid collections.
