Creditor Came to my Job

this was a storefront in IL?

Unfortunately they can visit you at work but they can not discuss your debt with other co-workers. They can be loud enough however to ensure other people hear him but it's just a sad fact of life.

Yep, Security Finance and they are located right here in my town. I'm close to a few weeks behind on my payment. He had a clipboard with him like I was on the list of his daily rounds.

that is true,but if asked to leave.they must leave.

i had the same dealings with security finance. the bad thing was i lost my job so they never came to my work, but they did come to my house all the time. was it just a signature loan or did you use anything as collateral to secure it?

they do have to leave if you ask them to..
i am sorry this happened to you :(

It's just secured by a Wage assignment which I can revoke. I work for a large financial institution and my HR rep told me they don't honor Wage assignments and they only deal with court ordered documents. I did end up talking to him later that day after he blew my cell phone and work phone up and he apologized for coming to my job.

Today when I went downstairs to the retail area, one of the tellers asked me.." Hey did so an so from Security Finance find you" I was so embarrassed. I again acted like he was a customer and said yeah I just gave him a packet of info.

ugh that is horrible :(

could you imagine having to do that to people for a living. that would be a horrible job. i would be afraid of p'ing of the wrong person and get beat up or shot or somthing. especially in todays world people are so stressed out they might snap. its bad enough they call you all the time and your refrences. but to show up at your work and home. maybe one day these people will wake up and realize they have a consence. but then again, probably not.

i agree, i imagine it must be dangerous, especially going to someone's home! i personally would not speak to anyone who came, i would tell them to leave, and than threaten to call the police. if they did not leave, i would. i do not care if they are legally allowed to do this, i still say it is very wrong.

Creditors should not be allowed to come to your work, or office, except in Repo matters etc...! How greedy can one get..., to show up at someone's job. Don't they realize that by showing up at someone's job, that they could possibly get the person that owes them the money fired, and than how will a person pay them back? AARRGh :x !
