Collector Call Log
Fill in a row each time a collector contacts you, then print it or download a CSV. Notes written right after a call are far more believable than memories pieced together later.
Runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us or saved.
Keep a written log of every contact: date, time, the number they called from, which of your numbers they called, the company, the name given, the type of contact, what was said (word for word where possible), and any witness.
Don't type account numbers or your Social Security number. Nothing is saved — print or download before you leave this page.

How to use it
- Write it right after the contact. Not that night, not next week.
- Quote exact words where you can and put them in quotation marks. "He said, 'We'll have you arrested'" is something an attorney can use; "he was rude" isn't.
- Log missed calls too. Under Regulation F, more than seven calls about a debt in seven days is presumed harassment, and unanswered calls count (12 CFR § 1006.14(b)).
- Back it up: screenshot your phone's call history regularly, export voicemails with the date in the file name, keep every letter and envelope, and save texts and emails with the date and sender visible.
- If you record calls, check your state's law first. Some states, including California, require everyone on the call to consent. Saying "I'm recording this call" at the start is the simple way to stay on safe ground.
