Can a debt collector physically show up to your home to collect on a home equity mortgage?

I was a collector of unsecured debt for years ( I was the guy that hounds you on the phone :(). I know the FTC regulates debt collection through the Federal Debt Collectors Practices Act. I remember my boss telling me about the Good Ol' Days when he would go to peoples homes and actually reclaim furniture, pianos etc. I am looking for specifics. Thanks in advance!

1. In your case, I approve of it.
2. No. These guys bluff better than poker players or hustlers in a pool hall. You don't owe anything to the debt collector. You owe the retailer or merchant. The retailer/merchant sold your debt to the collector for pennies and now the debt collector is trying to collect from you so they can make a profit for the buy off the retailer you are dissing. loveyalaterseeyabye/bdi
