I fell behind in my payments to Verizon after losing my job. I had muscle spasms because of a pinched nerve in my back so I could not get a job in a factory where the money is at. I had to take a job that was $6/ hour less than what I was making. My wife and I tried to keep up on all our payments but could not. Our account was turned over to Allied Interstate Collection agency.
Allied sent us a statement telling us we had to pay everything in full. If we had that kind of money those morons would never have been brought into the picture.
My wife tried to call Allied. She got someone named Peggy. Peggy's phone malfunctioned and she blamed me and my wife for trying to do something and play tricks. I was not home. Peggy then told my wife that our account would be noted and she hung up on my wife.
I called asking for an apology and was sent to a guy named Kevin. I tried to tell him that my wife was taking care of the bills and that I had no idea where we are with any payments. (my wife was doing this because I was near depression because I had lost a job and could not function correctly because of the pinched nerve) Kevin raises his voice and tells me that I have refused to pay this bill in full because I was angry at the other operator. I was trying but this moron would not listen or work with us. Which from what I found out our $300 bill has now become and $800 bill. We don't know how. I know my daughter did not talk that much.
My wife tries to call and e-mail Verizon telling them that we will make payments to them and not these other idiots. She told them that she got a slight raise and that I did too and we could make payments. She was given the cold shoulder and told that they would only work with me because my name was on the contract.
Next day I get a call at my workplace from Allied. The woman called me a liar when I told her we had been in contact with Verizon. I let her know that we would not deal with such obnoxious people and that we would work with Verizon. I could not hear what all she was calling me as I hung up the phone but a co-worker sitting three feet heard the woman yelling.
My wife looked up what our rights are for them contacting me at work. Just as I was going to amil that letter to them, My stepson calls and tells me that I have a message on the phone at home.
This message is from Timco or something like that from Allied. He is telling me that they have tried several times to peacfully collect the money I owe and that I refuse to pay. Now they only have one other option and that is to take me to court.
Can anyone out there stop these rude, obnoxious thieves? They seem to enjoy irrating people and starting arguments just so that they can take people to court. They do not want people to pay. These people at Allied have found the only calling in life for disfunctional, overbearing rude people. I am trying to run a family as much as they are trying to run a business. I do not have to be rude and call my children names to get them to do things. I do not have a pillow case full of money that I am saving for retirement. I can make honest payments. Not the double my bill payment in full that they are asking for. Someone stop these thieves that hide behind the law.
