Poll: Have you ever had to "cuss out" a bill collector?!


Question: Here is my story:

Okay, so I know I owe Sprint some money. My bill went into collections. Them effing calling me 5 times a day does not make me have a job with a paycheck just yet-though I am looking! I have been ignoring their calls, because you talk to them ONCE it makes them call MORE.
I talked to someone YESTERDAY because someone else answered the phone. I told them to call me TUESDAY to give me a chance to talk to my kids' father about helping me with the bill!
So, they have called me FOUR times already today. The last time I picked up, before they could say anything, I stated my name and told them that I spoke to someone yesterday and told them to call back on TUESDAY. I told them they were effing harassing me, and that is not how you get money from someone who is broke. I thought I was pretty nice about it. I didn't say EVERY thing I wanted to say-PLUS I am PMSed?
grrrrrr...
What's your story?

No. Perhaps you should explain to them NICELY that we are experiencing a RECESSION, and have your portion of the bill forwarded to the White House.

No, I pay all of my debts.

I know right....

I say

Fu*k you then flush the toilet with the earpiece close to it!

a bill collector once called me and asked how i was going to pay my $989 today. i laughed and said are you kidding? i said how do you expect to get blood out of a turnip lady you can call and beg all you want i dont have any freakin money. they stopped calling shortly thereafter then just sent letters every week or so.

Yes i have dealt with that
Caller ID became my best friend and everyone knew not to pick up the phone unless i said it was ok!
If it does happen again say "No speaka enlish"

Yep one time Dish Network took out 400$ out of my account because they had my debit card on record. I had paid a bill for my father in law ONE time and he didnt pay and they sent it to collections, they noticed the card with the same last name and decided to charge it . I called and cussed and generally made a nuisance of myself. After a few days of this they finally returned the money and paid all overdraft fees

damn! i cant stand sprint, but thats how they are. Their customer service is poor, i understand why u got mad! they are calling way to much,

you need to get a fog horn or a whistle. When they call don't even say hello. Put the horn/whislt right on the phone reciever and let it blow! They won't be calling back anytime soon, and if they do, blow it again=)
works everytime!

They get a percentage for collecting so they are aggressive butts. Could not do their job. We took over for one of my daughters and just told them we/she will send a portion of the payment as able to and eventually they left her alone. It took a year to get her back on track but it worked.

All I got to say is YES!!!! and that I HATE SPRINT. My freakin phone gets cut off every month and I pay ...not the whole bill...but just whatever I need to to keep it on and they text me and call me and get people from india to call me and its really annoying. Not to mention all the late fees I get. I can never cath up with them. SPRINT IS THE DEVIL

No, I have not. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

Never

I told 'em once that they couldnt get blood from a turnip.....The guy on the phone said no....But we can put Turnip's *** in jail!!! I mailed a check that day :o)

We had just had our 1st child and my hubby had been laid-off from his job. This A-HOLE bill collector kept calling demanding money, we had explained the situation, so he starts demanding to know why my hubby hadn't found another job yet,etc, etc. Well my baby was crying and I was trying to get ready for work, so, I said to him,"well, I can send you some money as soon as I learn how to pull hundred dollar bills out of my ***" to which he replied, "I think I need to hang up now" and I said, "I think that is the best thing for you to do"

Yes, I have. Something to try...get a metal spoon and hit the part of the phone that you talk into a couple of times...man that will hurt their ears.

OMG!! YES, where i got my furniture, How they have it set up to make payments is really stupid!! Its due on the 1st of every month but they start calling me on the 5th, saying its late and they add on a $25 late fee after the 5th. Thats crazy most places dont call you until u are a month behind. But the lady who calls (i wont say her name) has a nasty attitude like she gave me the furniture!!! Her customer service skills are horrible!!!! I have told the manager of the company not to let her call my phone anymore or i will report them for harassment!!

Geez, stop answering the phone! That's what answering machines are for!

i always tell them i'm not home.

well these people kept calling our office for an employee and i told them he doesnt work in the office, call a different number or let me take a message. no they said they would try back. i interupted and said well you still wont reach him cause he doesnt work in the office- there for you still wont reach him and to call another number. ok, so then the same witch calls later and i was like look- he works here but is a field guy so you need to call him else where and i already told you that. then she was like well can i have another contact number. i was like no thats illegal- i cant give out employee information with out their knowledge.

I cuss them all out i got tired of being nice. i'm like it will get there when it gets there so kiss my@ss.

I had to have a Lawyer send Sprint a cease and desist letter to keep them from putting an uncollected bill on my credit report... I was tr raveling in New York 9I live in Miami) a few years back, I had more dropped calls tan anything, at least 7 calls out of ten were less than a minute, they charge you a whole minute for one second, all dropped calls, I had a 600 dollar phone bill and refused to pay it, I told the supervisor that if I get into a cab to take me to the airport and he drops he around the corner, Iam not paying him for the short trip around the corner,, likewise I wold not pay a full minute( at roaming charges no less) for a dropped call... they would not budge..

I haven't cussed them out but I did give them a piece of my mind. I paid the portion of a hospital bill for my son. It was for $38.00. They called and were threatening to send it to collections. Keep in mind the bill was like 4 years old and I could not find the check where I had paid it because during that time I had changed banks. So I paid it again because I did not want it to go on my credit report. Well I finally found where I had paid for it and the idiots had to refund my money, which took them almost 45 days. You best believe I harassed them until my check came. I would say just ignore the call for now and deal with it when you can. Good luck.

I have no problems with credit card type things but I do owe on hospital bills my insurance did not cover. Hell, how was I do know I'd have cancer and be out of work and get paid 65% of my salary? I have to catch up on stuff. I just told them don't call me anymore you can't get money from someone who doesn't have it and I'm still going through treatment!

Next time they call, just say listen to this! Fart into the phone & then hang up! OR have your daughter answer the phone & talk to them!!
