GUI Text showing even if the 'if' statement is not met

Hey guys, having an issue where i have a very… very basic Task handler, so what happens is if the phone is ringing ‘isRinging = true;’ and i have a GUI that is asking if isRinging = true then to display this text, then another bool for is hasAnswered then to display the next task… for some reason the isRinging text still appears, blocking the view of half the next task. i did use to have this working, and dont remember changing anything to make it work otherwise, but now it is doing it and cant fix it… tried adding more statements into the if statement like && !hasAnswered but just keeps displaying the text. here is my code I’m trying to use, i know its messy, but thats what happens when something goes wrong and you do a heap of random shit to try and fix it… with no avail. even changed them from all if statements to else if and still no avail.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class PhoneScript : MonoBehaviour {

    public AudioSource phoneRinging;
    public AudioSource phoneCall;
    public BoxCollider boxCollider;
    public Animator rampAnim;
    public Animator switchAnim;
    bool hasAnswered;
    bool isRinging;
    bool rampActivated;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
        phoneRinging.enabled = true;
        phoneCall.enabled = false;
        hasAnswered = false;
        isRinging = true;
        rampAnim.enabled = false;
        rampActivated = false;
        switchAnim.enabled = false;
    }
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {

    }

    void OnGUI()
    {
        if (isRinging && !hasAnswered)
        {
            GUI.skin.label.alignment = TextAnchor.UpperLeft;
            GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 10, 1000, 400), "Task: Answer The Phone.");
        }else
        if (hasAnswered && !isRinging)
        {
            GUI.skin.label.alignment = TextAnchor.UpperLeft;
            GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 10, 1000, 400), "Task: Get to the boat and find a way to get your car off.");
        }else
        if (rampActivated)
        {
            GUI.skin.label.alignment = TextAnchor.UpperLeft;
            GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 10, 1000, 400), "Task: Make your way around the island.");
        }
    }

    public void answerPhone()
    {
        phoneRinging.enabled = false;
        phoneCall.enabled = true;
        isRinging = false;
        hasAnswered = true;
        boxCollider.enabled = false;
    }

    public void activateRamp()
    {
        rampAnim.enabled = true;
        switchAnim.enabled = true;
        rampActivated = true;
    }
}

Found that the object was indeed on a secondary object, that i had the script active on to allow that certain object to function how i wanted, have re-coded the interact script to suit.

i had this issue by the interact script i was using trying to access the hit.collider of the Ramp switch, when in actual fact the script was on the phone, this is the modification i had made.

public GameObject phone;
    public void Update ()
    {
        RaycastHit hit;
        Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);

        if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, interactDistance, interactLayer))
        {
            if (isInteracting == false)
            {
                if (interactIcon != null)
                {
                    curser.enabled = false;
                    interactIcon.enabled = true;
                    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
                    {
                      if (hit.collider.CompareTag("Phone"))
                        {
                            hit.collider.GetComponent<PhoneScript>().answerPhone();
                        }
                        else if (hit.collider.CompareTag("Ramp"))
                        {
                          //CHANGED TO phone.GetComponent and added a public GameObject to the Phone to access it, rather than trying to access the hit.collider//
                            phone.GetComponent<PhoneScript>().activateRamp();
                        }
                   }
            }
     }
