Guest,
It is law for them to space out calls by about three days. To call you daily, even hourly will drive you up the wall and that is harassment.
Besides, do these dudes really think anything will change in the phase of one day or one hour?

I like it when Bay Area Credit calls my house 4 times in 2 hours...lol lately I've resorted to picking up the phone and screaming at the top of my lungs, "I'VE ALREADY MADE ARRANGEMENTS WITH YOU! GAAAAAAHHHHH!" lol Not very polite, or mature, but it makes me feel better...lol

They do that? Goobers! Your reaction reminds me of this dude I called back in student loans. He would answer the phone politely and professionally and identify himself. But, once you mentioned "student loan" he screamed just like Homer Simpson and hung up. When that happened to me, I just sat there dumbfounded and then just cracked up laughing. Three days later, this guy who sat behind me got the very same guy, and he did the very same thing and we were just cracking up! He didn't even owe that much!

Ari, could you tell me where (what law) that is found at ? I thought there was a law that said something like that, but I can't seem to find it any where. (actually I thought it was more like 5 to 7 days, but since I could never find it I wasn't sure).
I still think holding the phone out the window of a locomotive and blowing the horn works the best for pesky callers and collectors.

The worst I ever did to anyone was about 4 days after my car accident...I'm very bruised, very sore, broken leg/foot/ankle....I had fallen asleep before my uncle left for work and he forgot to put the cordless phone by me...So it started ringing, and I had to get up, get my crutches, and drag myself (On 3 different pain meds) to the phone, and it was a collector...I yelled. "LEAVE ME ALONE! I DON'T FEEL GOOD!" She said, "You're past due on this account, and we need to make arrangements." I yelled, "MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO LEAVE ME ALONE! I DON'T FEEL GOOD!"
lol Like she could have known that I was all banged up from getting hit by a truck...lol

Clay,
I didn't find that anywhere, it was standard procedure ingrained into my at CCA. Therefore, it must be legal.
Jessi,
Twice, did I get debtors on the phone who I could tell were in bad shape. I took the time to ask them how they were, wished them speedy recovery, and advised them that I'd try back at a better time.
