I set up a payment plan and made the payments every month for years. Every month they call me to ask for more. What they do is wait for you to not return a call two months in a row then they take you to court and tack on hundreds. Like a buzzard circling a carcas. So if you have a payment plan make shure you return every call.
Message on my voice mail: "Hi this is Mark, please call me back at 920-686-8891. I .." then, the message was cut off. I called back and it's a collections agency - AMERICOLLECT.
Caller left message identifying herself as "Linda", asking me to "press 9 now, or call me back fer sure (Wisconsin accent) first thing tomorrow". Gave an 800 number.
"Hi, this is MARK, call me back...I..." then it hangs up - everytime! What a jerk! They are crooks! Worst of the worst! They call at rude hours when they THINK thye are above the law and its going to stop...
They call us on phone WE pay for, without our permission and leave NO way for us to stop them.
Its rude, its unfair and I am going to take this and others straight to the District Attorney tomorrow (I work for the State) and frankly - I don't care if it is a bill collector! We all struggle from time to time - I say BACK OFF!!!
There are laws that say they can't cross certain lines and they cannot call on Sundays! This has got to stop! I have had enough! Don't you all agree we should feel comfortable at least answering our OWN cell phones??!! I mean are they paying our phone bills or are we?? Who's rights are being violated here?
If you agree and want to sign on a petition that I will take to the DA and the news ... email me!! I welcome your input.........
