Today ...This lady called and didn't give a name just asking if she could speak to .....and I replied this is she....you have an outstanding debt of $200 dollars is there any reason why you haven't paid...I told her the reason ...she cuts me off (screaming).....this is a totally separate bill....you need to pay by 4 o clock or else! well ma'am what happens at 4 o clock if I don't call you back to pay im just asking bc the bill is not that old and shouldn't be in collections. She says " I will report you to blah blah" .....I say ok well can I talk about this later for I am at work and your attitude is rude and unprofessional. she hangs up on me. If she would've been more professional I prob wouldn't have a prob with doing what I have to do to take care of the debt but I don't do too well with nasty people who call and are rude.

I would suggest you read the other posts in this thread that tell you what you need to know to deal with them.

Did you go up there? Just curious because we are considering it to see how they treat us in person

That person posted here in 2011, 5 years ago.  Why would you ask a question of someone who probably knows as little or less than you do?

If you want to know how to deal with a debt collector you should go to the people who can give you the correct inforamtion:

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

Read up on your rights here and also make a complaint at this government site: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

People, don't call them back and don't give them any of your information! If you even answer the phone they know they have a live number, and even if you're not the person they are looking for, they will NEVER stop calling, even if you threaten the,

Just do not answer. You don't need the stress nor hassle. People who harass others and upset them are bottom feeders.
