One of my managers at work sent us all an e-mail warning us about it, saying to expect debtors to confront us with the information on it.
Another corrupt junk debt collection agency. I really don't give one flying fart if the collection industry gets yet another cream pie thrown in it's face. Like I haven't thrown enough already in this forum.
Ari, that just stinks. I don't think your managers have anythin
Ari, that just stinks. I don't think your managers have anything to worry about - very little advice on the consumer's rights was given on the show. I was disappointed.
That is disappointing! DId you see my latest post on the Identit
That is disappointing! DId you see my latest post on the Identity THeft thread? Everyone under the sun needs to know about that because it is sick!
20/20 are scammer, just try to get ratings
America need collection agency, without collection agency. lots of banks will go out of business. Then America has to bail out banks and tax payers are paying for consumer debts. so whom is the scammers a debtor ot a collection agency. all this Advocate are sad the tell people collection agencies are fraud. if the are paying thier bill the would not be in collection. it's thats simple.
To the TROLL above please do not make judgments??about people
To the TROLL above please do not make judgments??about people here on this forum. You do not know everyone's financial situation.??Us members??on this forum are not saying all CA are frauds. But we??have seen many cases in which CAs use abusive collection tactics and do not follow the laws.
It is just not that simple as you stated. Life happens, Stuff happens, and people fall on hard times. Unless you have an infinite wallet and can pay everyone's debt please do make judgments. I see no relevance in your post that contributes to this thread. Please leave now.
And they resurect a thread over 2 years old to do it!!

i am not making a judgement on anymore. you are correct, everyone situation is different. when start grouping all collection agencies together, then thats wrong. i have seen consumer whom have used up to 60,000 dollars in loan for cars,loans. 75 percent of consumer in america are able to pay thier debt. they just choose not too, because they rather have lavish christmas or take expensive vacation than pay thier bills. consumer turn around and get upset when a collection agencies call.

Guest, if you had taken the time to watch the 20/20 special that this original thread was about (which I doubt you did, since this thread was 2 years old when you responded to it), you would have seen that the 20/20 special was about BAD collection agencies - not ALL collection agencies. No one in this thread has grouped all collection agencies together - and I know of no one in this thread who has had a "lavish christmas or expensive vacation" instead of paying their bills.
you have no idea of how things like this happen to honest good s
you have no idea of how things like this happen to honest good sincere people..check out my thread under stories on getting into debt...i have not had ANY vacation or bought any new car since this has happened to me..in fact i currently drive a 1991 oldsmobile that yes is paid off and i work my but off 11 hours a day to take care of my financial obligations..don't ever lump me into the stereotype of someone who just don't want to pay there bills.....thats aweful to think of everyone in this forum..some people may be like that-but MOST OF US ARE NOT!!!!Oh and by the way, other than dleinquent debt i am currently working on, my home is the only open account on my cf, no charge cards, no i want debts, no anything period-you have no idea what you are talking about...

Once again that is one case to a million people who are in debt. Every person has not got into debt carelessly. Even if they did we are here to help them out of it. That is the point of the forum!
Seems you did not read before you posted, because your information is incorrect. No one stated all CAs were breaking the law, but then again you probably never watched the 20/20 special or Dateline special. We are here to help not punish people for sharing their stories. They get enough of that from bottom feeding CAs who are breaking the law.
If you want to vent you can do it elswhere.
