Nationwide Collections addresses letter to "SHIT FACE" [Caveat Emptor]
]]>OMG, so did my mother. Was this by any chance at a rather large corporate law firm in Manhattan?
]]>@missbehave: No, they are still around, and still getting even smart people, myself included. I don't want to go to far into WHY I signed up for it, but it was online, and I did it because I wanted to win something completely different.
So naive...
]]>Hahahahaha
I would sue just to get out of the contract...just get the 16.39 erased from my record. I mean, I'm sure there isn't any real pain and suffering.
]]>Please, call me Shit. Mr. Face is my father!
]]>Threatening to sue? Guess they'll need to find Mr. (or Mrs.) Face to do that, but there's nobody by that name at this address.
]]>@Acasto: Shame on you, you can't treat boats that way.
]]>so if I sign all my credit card reciepts with "poor ass bastard" can I say that wasn't me and get out of paying?
]]>Old debts revolve around "collections hell" where it bounces from one collector to another in a continuous cycle for eternity, even after you die. They really have nothing to lose as some people will pay.
I was an in-house collector for a company and it's amazing what you can say (legal or not) to get people scared to pay up.
]]>@pegr:
My step-father used to work with a man named Richard Wacker. I kid you not.
]]>Unfortunately, I can't find the danged article! I wonder if the same thing happened here.
]]>I once had a job selling phone systems to businesses and a collection agency was one of my customers. I had to visit a couple of their sites. It looked like the very worst place to work. The operators were all miserable and hateful and the management wrang the most work out of them they could, i.e. calls per minute and such. They talked about them like that were cattle. Cattle that couldn't be trusted. In front of them.
I have been grateful for every job I've had ever since.
]]>@mlehet: Indeed, my first thought was that Shit Face should sue.
]]>Being called shit face is a complement in some countries.
Just like farting on someones head. It's a complement.
]]>It's pronounced "fa-SAY."
]]>I once had a friend that got a collection letter that was addressed to "Customer is an AIDS victim" he sued them and got about $30K.
]]>Wow, Dick Head is gonna be steamed when he hears about this...
]]>LOl couldnt he get out of it saying that his name is not what was pritned ?
]]>Maybe that is how this person signed up for the offer originally?
(Reminds me of the "Santa's Little Helper/Santos L. Halper name on the credit crd on the Simpsons...)
]]>Wow, I wish they would screw up like that more often... I should call up my collections ass hats and verbally abuse them, in the hopes they would do something like this.
