Topic: Debt Collectors | |
---|---|
I do not envy these people's job, nor the telemarkers who actually have a good product but the abuse of other telemarkers have given them all a bad name.
However...here's my phone call (3x already) and this time, I have no more patience..yesterday from a debt collector (not my debt either) I answer the phone "Such & such office" debt collector "I am from ?&? could I speak with Mr. so & so. <<There's no one here by that name. >>Do you know him? <<Yes, this is a CPA office, he is a client. >>Would you give me his phone # <<No >>Why not? <<We are not allowed to give out any client information w/o their consent >>Will you call and get his consent? <<No >>Why not <<I'm not a messenger service. >>Will you call him and give him this # to call? <<No >>Why not? <<Again, I am not a messenger service. >>Do you realize you are interferring with the collection of a debt? <<Oh noooooo, I didn't realize that was the situation. I'm sorry, let me see if I can help. Could you hold please? (I look in the phone book, both their personal and business phone #'s are listed.) >>Yes, thank you. I wait a few minutes. <<Mam, I have to ask you a few questions of my own before I can give you information. >>Ok <<Do you have so & so's full name and his business's full name? >>Yes we do, we need the phone #. <<Do you know what state you are calling? >>Yes <<Then let me make sure I understand...You have the gentleman's full name, his business full name and the state in which he lives. Business' do not normally have unlisted telephone #'s as that it would make it difficult for business, do you agree? >>Yes <<Do you have access to a computer? >>Yes <<Are you at liberty to use it? >>Yes <<Then mam, I suggest you put that computer to good use and either google the business name or look in the white pages for their personal phone #. She hung up on me!!!!!!!!!!!! See if I try to help again! |
