Collection agency calling me - is that harrassment?

I have this collection agency calling me, and I think the man on the other end of the phone was extremely rude! I have bills like everybody else, and I’m a bit behind schedule…however, that’s no reason to call me up & be rude.

Can you let me know if colletion agencies are always so rude, or am I just unlucky?

Answer #1

i once had to do telemarketing for a small time job…i was def. not rude to people and respected their answers…there is no need for them to get nasty or rude…take it a step higher to company

Answer #4

Pay your bill! Obviously someone has realized that your not intending to pay your bill. I am on the recieving end of customers not paying. When you are ignored and the customer refuses to explain himself to you and continues to lie, what else is there to do?

Answer #5

“supcat” – maybe you can explain to me why it is ok for collection agencies to harass those of us who DO pay our bill when attempting to garner information about your clients problematic accts??? If the people lending money (your clients) paid any mind to who was credit worthy or not before giving credit, you wouldn’t need to call so many people and I wouldn’t be receiving these nasty collections calls for bills I haven’t made, nor for people I’m not responsible for!!! Seriously, I feel this method needs to be seriously looked at by the FCC!

Answer #6

report them to Attorney General office and Federal Trade Commission

Answer #7
