A funny thing happened to me Wednesday

That is great that your boss has your back like that!

Tweety- that is TOO funny!! There are collection agencies that thrive on getting you upset and scared into paying something you may not owe.

I have worked with some CAs in the past with payment arangements, etc-they were nice and willing to work with me. I have also worked with some, am right now, that will threaten,scream,etc., but refuse to validate to show that they even have the debt..karen

Its your old lovers, Route 66 funding. Would you like me to go back and find your old quote? "I Love Route 66 Funding."

LOVE Route 66!!!!! When I think of them I get all tingly inside! :)

Tweety I love it!

do you think they are actually a CA? I had a potential client I had to turn down cause I could not track down an actual company.

Tweety...the best part is how you handled this (and your boss backing you like that)....there was a time when calls like this scared us all half to death!!!

You're right Volley...I can remember those days. My heart racing while they were threatening me. It's amazing how they can get to you..and you really believe they are legit! This site helped me know my rights..and things are sooo much better now.

Laura, I wonder how these people sleep at night...I would rather sort garbage with my bare hands than to call people and perpetrate myself as being above the law to scare people.

Here, here on the threats. Nicole Ray from Smith, Haynes & Watson left another nasty message on my voice mail this am. She said that she was getting the impression that I was avoiding her calls (really...ya think?) and that I had a matter that needed my attention. That she had a decision to make on my foul and that if she didn't hear from me by the 18th she was going to start verifying my employment. She also said she needed to talk to me or my counselor as soon as possible to get this matter taken care of. Heck, last time I spoke to this woman she said that she wasn't going to argue with me & said she was going to make this same decision on dec 21st & never call me back. Guess she changed her mind???? She's been calling back almost everyday & has even asked to speak to my supervisor. I paid Eastside Lenders 837.50 on a 600.00 loan and they aren't licensed in the state of NE. I can't believe the nerve these people have.

Sounds like a scare tactic.....Did you supervisor get any additional info from her saying what they are going to do? When "mr robinson" spoke to my supervisor he didnt say anything that was going to happen just that I needed sat down and talked to about what I had been doing......He hung up on my boss LMAO.

She never got to my supervisor. Everytime she asked for him I told her he was in a meeting. I won't even give his name. I fell out of my chair after reading what your boss did! Too funny! I've alerted the receptionist as to what was going on so hopefully her phone calls won't even come through to me anymore.

I really hope MTE doesnt start calling me now. Although I heard back from NCA after I had request a validation of the debt. Good, just keep telling her when she calls that he is not available. I've learned that if its THAT important they will leave a message.

I know you're right...best thing is that she doesn't know who "he" is. I won't give up his name.

I just hate to think of how many people ARE scared into giving morons like this money when they hear the spiel. I don't get the calls much anymore but on the days when I'm up to it, I LOVE messing with them. You can tell they're reading off a script and if you throw them off their speech, they get extremely mad. They've called me at work and said they were recording the conversation; I said that was fine, I had them on speakerphone and everyone around me was laughing at them (which they were).

thread locked.
