Re: debt collector who is harassing me

It is ridiculous and obscene that you should be treated this way by a bill collector. Please email me at [email protected] and indicate your name and address and email address. Indicate the name of the creditor, and a telephone number, if possible.

I will contact the creditor and tell them to stop

pestering you, and attempt to work out an agreement

for you to pay only $50 per month on this account.

I will not charge you anything for these services.

Re: debt collector who is harassing me

You may want to ask a consumer lawyer about the creditor's conduct. It could be that the creditor (or collection agency) may have violated the law regulating their tactics. If the calls come from a collection agency, they almost certainly violate the federal Fair Debt Collections Practices Act.
