Damn..... Okay. You don't pay your bills on time, don't care what the excuses is... You should still have service for a while. Say you skip a month and then your partly disconnected. Then something in the mail should arrive. Your first notice.
After after that it's up to you to pay your bill . This whole thread is crazy. What do you think happens when you don't pay your bill? And I love this one, I am on list where my phone is private and people should not call me. Call your phone company and ask them why they got that number. PS: Matt, then do aonething about it, made the effort to [***] about her on a forum. Call your phone company and let them know.
You guys really waste your time replying to people here? That's what you get paid for over at EAS or whatever?
Bill collectors, even when they're in the right, are the scum of humanity. They're the dirt on the bottom of the shoes of real humans. Some of these people are deadbeats for one reason or another, but they don't make it their career to hound others.
People fall on hard times. People make paperwork mistakes. People get turned off by aggressive collection tactics and make a conscious decision not to pay, even once they get the money.
You and your kind, however, make it your goal to go out every day and harass people for piss-tiny scraps of money. The second a debt collection agency calls me about some forgotten bill is the instant I decide never to pay it. I don't hand over money to the vultures of the unfortunate.
Message from "John Rivers" giving a 1-800 number I can reach him at and asking me to return his call. This is probably regarding the Comcast I forgot to turn off when I moved from my old apartment, judging by other posts here.
Either way, I guess I'll never know. I don't return calls from people who fail to identify who they work for, what the call is regarding, how they got my number, or why I should care the slightest bit about what they have to say. My phone has a "straight to voicemail" option and I will go ahead and add this number to that. Problem solved.
He also said he's usually there until "About 6pm" without bothering to say what time zone he's in. I suspect he's not the brightest fellow (not that I expected a debt collector to have any real intelligence, since they obviously can't find a better job).
