Has anyone successfully stopped Municipal Services Bureau debt collection calls?

[Saul E]

I’m at my wit’s end. I’ve been getting relentless calls and letters from the Municipal Services Bureau about an old utility debt. Even when I’ve tried to discuss it, the calls keep coming at all hours, and it feels more like harassment. I’m looking for real, practical steps that have worked for others in the same boat. What can you actually do to make this stop and deal with the debt properly?

I did some searching and found a guide on dealing with persistent collection efforts at https://protectionforconsumers.com/how-to-stop-municipal-services-bureau-debt-collection-harassment/ that I’m going to try, but I really want to hear from personal experience. What worked for you?

The CFPB doesn’t usually make headlines, but their recent opinions actually affect people dealing with credit and reporting errors. I went through https://consumerattorneys.com/article/with-four-new-opinions-the-cfpb-strengthens-legal-protections-for-consumers-under-the-fcra and it breaks down how expectations around investigations and accuracy are tightening. It’s one of the few signs that there’s at least some pressure on reporting companies to do better.
