Crazy Debt Collector Call - How Could You Pay???

A co-worker somehow got their name and phone number provided to a debt collection agency and into their database. They now get many, many, many calls a day, but this one really stood out. How could you pay this bill even if you did owe it?

Hey badpanda84 - the "not available" was actually part of the call. We did not edit it in any way.

My co-worker wanted me to record this and put it on YouTube. A disgruntled client gave her name and work number to a debt collector and it has been replicated into many databases. Doesn't matter that they don't owe ANYTHING. The agencies won't listen to them and keep calling.

I make out the check to "Not available" and the address is "not available"?

I am sending the check to "not available" in the amount of "not available" as you read this.

HA HA HA HA HA

Does this shit actually work on people?

I wouldn’t pay those subhuman sleazebags to clean up after my dog. Debt collectors are only in their line of so-called “work” because neither the job nor the employee is wanted anywhere else, but this latest prevision of technology is a new low which even most telemarketers have not sunk to.

Screw this guy, pay me instead. I'm available!

@philartio that is the case in Australian law as well,

"contracts are private arrangements that can only affect the people who agreed to them. Other people, known as third parties or strangers to the contract, cannot incur obligations nor can they acquire any tights under the contract" -from my law text book. Over here after 6 years with no action the debt is waived. I have had debt collectors chasing me the last decade, i dont pay them a cent

[philartio]

Debts are no longer debts if paid off by a DCA. The DCA becomes a third party and is not included in any contract you have signed. Keep calm and repeatedly demand evidence of this (which they won't have.) Simple!

[Mindcrime121]

@mjmattson She needs to write, sign, and date, a letter of dispute, stating that the debt is fraudulent and does not exist and therefore will not be paid, and also demanding that no further attempts be made to contact her in regard to the debt, specificly at this number, her work and home addresses "or in any other manner at any other location". That forces the agency to return the debt to the primary company for validation and will stop the contact attempts.

i am gonna break me some legs soon these punks think they can talk shit and file a bunch of paper work they made up and this joke of fukin retard courts don't give a fuck they just want money weather you owe it or not bunch of punks we all need to grab a rifle hand guns enough is enough or is every one to scard to fight for your rights that the cops take away

Should have borrowed money from this organization. It sounds like -- not available -- is so good they don't even have to tell you where they are, any number, fax, pager, cell, text or smoke signal and don't have to hire a single living person to collect on this.
