What's this letter that you have to send them first? [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Re: Any armchair detectives?

Ordinarily, it would be what I officially refer to as the "STOP CALLING ME" letter. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] But in this case, it will be a "STOP CALLING ME" letter that contains a section that notifies them that in a dozen calls today, "Jay" took a dump all over the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and that I intend to get my fine and fees from them. [If it is in fact a debt farm, if not, then I'll just get an injunction against these freaks.]

Which of course they will ignore, and I'll log all the additional times they call (and refuse to tell me the company name and address), type that list up pretty, and make it an exhibit to my suit. A pain in the ass? Yup. Better just left alone? Probably.

But I believe in my heart of hearts that sometimes, not often, not always, but just sometimes someone needs to stand on the rooftop and scream to the world that the emperor is in fact ass naked. I think these guys need calling out. And in years of talking to assholes on the phone on a daily basis, my gut tells me that these guys aren't going to respond to anything shy of a firefight.

So, I want to send the letter because I'm gathering ammunition.

Please forgive the mixed metaphors. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Cool. I kinda thought it was a "by accepting this letter, you agree to STOP FUCKING CALLING ME!!! - one more phone call and you agree to blow me" [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Any armchair detectives?

Heh. I get weird or unknown and unlisted numbers on my caller ID all the time... I just don't answer. Most are probably collection agencies anyway. There's one local number I get, and I've tried calling it back, but it says the number is not in service. [img]/images/graemlins/brow.gif[/img]
There's also 616 Grand Rapids, MI number that comes up that's the Dove Foundation... I researched online and found out they're some annoying Christian/family based organization. Hmmm, I should answer the phone one day and fuck with them! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Call and ask them if they have accepted Satan as their personal savior [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Ask them if they have Jesus. When they say yes, tell them to let Him go [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

As for the "mystery" number, some systems allow you to type in a "dummy" number to defeat call screening, based on the assumption that you have friends or family with a similar number and may mistake their call for one that's from someone you know - dicks [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] That shit oughta be against the law.

Re: Any armchair detectives?

here's a new idea for people having collection agencies calling them.

If you owe them, pay them! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] They'll quit calling, problem solved!

Re: Any armchair detectives?

Well, Shawn, when the very best lucid communication that you can get out of "Jay," your point of contact is, "ARE YOU FUCKING READY TO TALK TO ME NOW?!" then you can pay them if you want.

Me, as I've stated above, 1. I have no delinquent debts, and 2. I'm not that big of a pussy. I tolerate that behavior from no man, woman, pet, nor child. Ever.

Re: Any armchair detectives?

Axtogrind, I understood that you had no delinquent debts from your initial post. As I said I'd be pissed too if someone called me that amount of times, regardless of what they wanted to talk about [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Any armchair detectives?

I'm sorry, Shawn, my bad.

Prolly the only other time I got this many calls was one time when Tommy Lee and Pam were split up - I was like, "good lord woman, quit calling me!" [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
