In Most Cases, The Collectors Only Strength Is Your Weakness
For_Immediate_Release:

United States of America (Press Release) January 18, 2008 -- Ring, Ring, Ring,! Sound familiar? While going through some of the toughest times in our lives financially, we are further stuck with uneducated thugs calling to take our last drop of blood. Or a caller from India who you can't understand, yet his name is Todd. In most cases, the debt they are attempting to collect on is not correct, not owed, or they "think they have the correct person on the phone".

In any event, it should be made clear "YOU HAVE RIGHTS" they don't want you to know. For an in depth look at these laws, go to www.ftc.gov, to help you understand your rights.

There is nothing funnier than a collector trying back peddle his way our of claiming he is an attorney when you tell him he has committed a crime by doing so. Or when he or she says your going to jail for not paying a bill. Listen to them crawl.

Over 85% of all American's have credit card debt, and over 50% of that is in a collection company some where in this world. Which, by the way has the highest level of outsourcing to small world countries, know to housing terrorism. Perhaps the WMD could be found on a collection floor next to this collector Todd, who by the way now has your personal information, unprotected, and available for sale to highest bidder.

I spoke to a collector today who used the name "JACK" and he worked for a collection agency in Buffalo. When I asked him where he was, he told me "INDIA". Fact is I just wanted the truth, and could not get him to tell me anything but lies. As expected, after this call I had another 13 calls today from the same thug collecting on the same client.

Debt collection abuse comes in many shapes and sizes, but all are violations and must be stopped. I do not preach that you should avoid your debt. In fact, they should be hit head on and fixed. But to rid the abuse, one should either know all their rights, or hire an expert with a great reputation.

An IAPDA Certified Debt Arbitrator will know how to best resolve your issues. Be sure to find one with a perfect BBB report.

Debt Collection Abuse
How do i know if the collector is an attorney or not?

Debt Collection Abuse
Ask.

If they say yes, get their Bar #, and call your state bar to confirm. If they are you need to run not walk to my office. If they are not an attorney but said they were, you should run not walk to the police, your local DA'S office, the Attorney General, Or just give us a call

Bill Collectors are trained to be bad bunch
Lee - you should "ask". They called you. You have a right to know who you are talking to. I used to be a "Medical Account Specialist" aka: Hospital Bill Collector. It was 18 months of hell. I made people cry. They taught us to be "tough". In fact, I was always getting "counseled" because I was not tough enough.
Collectors have "quotas" - do not think for one minute that they don't. The individual collector doesn't give a rats behind about whether or not you pay your bill. They just need to make bonus.

If I recall correctly here were my stats I had to "make" every day with the threat of losing my job for not making quota:

I had to make no less than 100 calls out on the "dialer" a day. 27 of those calls had to commit to a firm payment arrangement and I could reset their call in the computer for the next month.

If not, I could reset them for the next day and daily harass then until I got someone.

I had to collect by credit card over the phone a MINIMUM OF $500.00 A DAY. They didn't care if if it was one payment of 500.00 or 5 payments from 5 different people of 100.00 each as long as I "made goal".

I was in another state and I had to pretend that I was calling from their hospital in Hot Springs Arkansas! We were trained to lie. One time a bill payer asked me for directions to the payment center in the hospital and why didn't I know because I was right there - I had to put him on hold, call the Hot Springs AK facility, get directions, then get back on the line and tell him like I was right there - my Supervisor was over my shoulder!

I had to collect at least $200.00 in "promises to pay by a certain date" and set the computer to call them back on that day if payment not received.

We took inbound calls too and pretended that we were answering the phone from "that" facility.

There is so much more...we threatened to turn then over to the"credit people" "IF"...we never did! Not one - it was a threat...but it was also medical bills. It's different for regular credit card debt and others.

This was one of the best respected Medical Account companies in the state. I heard one collector tell a patient, "Do you own a TV? I see. A DVD player a stereo? I see. You need to sell those things and pay your bills, Ma'am what kind of example are you setting for your children??? That's despicable"...I resigned.

REMEMBER - ALL CALLS ARE RECORDED AND CAN BE PULLED AT ANY TIME. Be aware of what you say and how you say it, if you dispute something and they "pull the call" have your facts straight. There will be no "he said she said" it will all be on micro disc.

True collectors are very proud of being able to make you squirm and frequently joke about it after work in the bar.
