Disgusting behavior. I think a law was recently passed or is on the table to stop that sort of harassment. An elderly man not so long ago took his life after the same treatment. I know his family is suing. Even if you were a month late that should never have gone to a collections.

The worst thing is that sometimes these places are cold calling trying to find someone. For a while I was getting calls for an "Elizabeth Santiago"... Umm my name is "Beth Santiago". The agency kept on calling during the day blowing up my answering machine. One night I called and left them a message...of course that was ignored. Finally I took the time during the day and called them. The lady apologized but said it is not their fault ( umm then whose effing fault is it), she said that they use the phone book and make cold calls in an attempt to find the right person. I must had had 50 calls on my machine. Amazing that they wouldn't stop. At the end of the convo she said it might take a day or two for my number to get taken off of the auto dialer. I was so pissed.
