REMEMBER PLAY WITH THEM, DON'T LET THEM PLAY WITH YOU.... THEY CAN'T DO NOTHING BUT MAKE UP LIES AND TRY TO SCARE YOU INTO PAYING,  DON'T DO PYMNT PLANS IT WILL JUST SUCK UP MORE TIME AND CONTINUE TO RUIN YOUR CREDIT.  If you have any questions regarding collections and they rude behavior, call better business pracitces and your attorny general and they will help,,, don't forget to record all calls and save messages on your anwsering machine where they are lying/ threathing and misrepresing them selves,  after so many complaints with the attorny general, I do belive they lose their licence, if they are 3 rd party collcetins, its time to stand up to these losers, and let them know there job sucks!!!!!  and as you can see, Collectors make the biggest debtors...

Since nobody has made any comments but i'll start off..... why do people like you run away from your obligations? man atleast people like Harpreet make people like yourself pay thier bills!! do you really think credit cards,loans,line of credits come for free...due to statue of limitations you loosers don't have to pay.....so tell me something...did you learn to hide from your bills from your mother or father? You're so stupid to even post something like this online...you must be either on welfare or on disability cuz your so dumb to get a job or you have no brain cells left after smoking crack!! LOL people like you give collections a bad name...why should you even wait for collection agency to call you to remind you to pay off your balance!!! keep running away boy...oh by they people like you must enjoy getting your wages garnished...get off your lazy [***] and get a job and give me the good news that you paid off your balance and that you're a MAN!!! AND POST SOMETHING POSITIVE....

Actually Harpeet Punjunder, a lot of people won't pay [***] firms like this because they are being overbilled by the company that is claiming the debt. I for one am being overbilled to the tune of 400 dollars by Telus. This firm of [***] FOBs has decided to try and collect by threatening my credit and harassing me. The OP here is absolutely correct, if you're being approached by agencies like this, there is absolutely no reason to settle with them if you are being wrongfully billed.
