For those following my 21st century trials and tribulations, I must tell you that the In-House Collection department at Robinson's-May Company has been quite deservedly admitted into my collectors hall of shame. Thank God for this forum, or I would have fallen victim to their deceitful tactics!
Here are some of the highlights:
* Told them not to call me at work, but, called there several times.
* Lied on answering machine stating that I had asked my wife to handle an issue. Also stated that they had spoken to an office colleague about an "excuse app" when they had not done so.
* Insisted that I bounce a check to them to cover a payment--even though I told them that my account was overdrawn and that it was illegal.
* General idiocy and incompetence. Couldn't wait a day beyond 120 days to make arrangements to pay account and threatened me with small claims.
* Used car syndrome: every one is a supervisor.
* When asked "what will you tell the judge when you know you have failed to cooperate?" I told them, well, I guess my lawyer would answer that. Was told that, "if you can't afford a payment than you can't afford a lawyer!"
DO NOT, under any circumstances deal with these people! They are the lowest of the low! Bottom feeders! |
