Do collection agencies have access to your home alarm system to help them monitor when you’re home?

Tina J asked:


My bills are behind right now. It seems that when I come in the door and just after I disarm my alarm system, the bill collectors call, as if they know that someone is now home. Has anyone had this experience? -Paranoid

   No.

   Think about it, that would be a MAJOR violation of privacy by the alarm company. Plus a thief could pose as a collector and find out when you were in and out (and make a pretty good guess when you were out and forgot to set the alarm.

   More likely, the collectors have you on autodial and have been ringing you constantly.
