Yes, I know it wasn't quite accurate. I should have said it differently but basically, you know as well as I do, they will use any means to collect a debt they probably bought for so much on the dollar from the original creditor. I don't mind telling these people what the facts are. This collection agency will use any devious means to try and collect.I have been through this on a debt that I actually did not originate myself but caught up in the middle. I had a whole year of bad mouthing, cajoling, threatening telephone calls.
Maybe this person is in the same situation as I was. Not entirely responsible for a uncontrollable situation. Or may actually owe the money. We have heard all the stories here.
