Go to (http://www.weltman.com/offices/) these guys are collection lawyers. Go to the far right of their page, click on publications, then client advisories. This is a place where these bottom feeders actually give other bottom feeders tips on how to get around the law. It is really interesting. If you are under the collection thumb, you really should read this. It is hilarious. Especially the 10 tips on how to collect a debt. No, seriously, you guys, this is some good stuff to know.

Oh, I thought it was awesome and stupid on their part. I mean come on, why would you put all that out there for debtors to read. It is teaching them how to be debt collectors, I really learned alot reading it, for me the one that owes the debt, gave me some pretty good tactics on how to handle them when they call. I will keep an eye on this page. Just thought it was real dumb to post that kind of information where anyone could access it. Guess they think we are tooooooooooooooooo dumb.

Actually i don't find it hilarious...it is actually quite educational and quite frankly, good business practices. It is written for 1st party or in house collector. It is meant to be good customer service...however 3rd party collectors could learn quite a bit by reading it.

I read the 10 tips. Didn't really upset me. Where were the other tips located? Couldn't find them.

I agree word for word with SOAPLADY. The article you site is well written, and it encourages professional debt collection.

Ok, guys did not mean to make anyone mad, I have dealt with some pretty nasty collectors, so now when they call, I will be more knowledgeable on how to handle them. I thought it was ironic that someone with such bad manners would put something like this out there. I am being sued by these people. The company they are representing is one of the worst. The girl actually told me that Quote" I would call her crying my eyes out" She was very rude. They have violated several collection laws, it is unreal. Thought is was a very good read, that is why I referred it here. Did not mean it to be hilarious in a funny sense, more hipocritical (sp). They give some real good tips, if they would only follow them or have their clientelle follow them.

Fedup, Wouldnt it be nice if the majority of the debt collectors would just follow the law? I think as long as they continue to get by with it it will only get worse. You are right consumers need to educate themselves to fight back. No one deserves that type of treatment. KYSIDE38

I understand where you are coming from now and why you posted it. If this is the way they have treated you I completely see how this shows them as hypocritical. I'm sorry to hear they have treated you this way.

It is an awesome sight for information though, I originally looked them up to find out some information on who was suing me. I ran across their publications, I have read over half of them and intend to read more, probably all of them. They hit on some good stuff for consumers to know when dealing with nasty lenders. I am not being a mad debtor here, I offered them what I thought was a fair settlement. They have a card they bought, they want $2800, I know they purchased this old debt for a hell of alot less than that. I offered them, $2000 cash, the original amount of the debt, had it in hand and they refused. They still would have made a hell of a profit taking that. They said no, that is when they sparked my fire to fight. Anyway, it is good reading for all, seriously.

That sounds like a fair settlement offer on your part. Especially since you had it on hand and ready to send off. Guess this lady was doing alright and didn't need to see that commission in her check the next pay period.

fed, do you know if they bought your debt or was your account assigned to them?

Do you think that I can send this information to each of my payday loans as spam mail and hope that they read it and find it as amusing?

They are so full of it.

Reesie,
Mine is an old providian that was charged off and bought by CACH, LLC. When I call providian they won't even deal with me on it.

Fed,
Just read the article on bankruptcy stay and must say I love it. For a creditor to be informed by their own attorney about the illegality of it is great. I also love the amount of sanctions given in that case. This is one reason I tell posters about that procedure.Ca's may violate fdcpa all the time beacause it is so cheap to pay off,but bankruptcy judges take a hard view on anyone violating that stay. They mention case being appealed and I wish them a boatload on that. Very few federal court decision get overturned.

I'll bet your glad you posted this huh fedup? I can definately see why people don't want to be a member of this site. Just look at what how your fellow members respoded. It's ok to disagree, but they were downright rude to you. And I expect they will be even ruder to me in response to this.
