Carrie Turner from Viking Collection Service contact my husband at work. He is a teacher & so he told her to call me at home since I stay at home with our kids. She was nice enough the first time that I spoke with her & told her when to expect payment. (the end of January)
While we were on the phone the first time she wanted to know how much all of our bills were, How much my husband made, and how much our tax return was. I dodged each question because it's none of her business. If she wants to take us to court, go for it. There's nothing here to take. I explained to her that they would be getting their money at the end of this month.
She called the following Monday at my husband's work AGAIN! However there are 3 schools in this district. She left a message with EACH school telling the secretary that she just needed to leave a message for my husband & then went on to tell them that we owed 2K from a credit card and they needed to be aware of it. It's not 2K (it's approx 1700.00) & since when are creditors allowed to divulge personal information???
I called her back & she was out to lunch I left her a firm but polite message that she knew as of Friday that she was to call ME at home NOT my husband at work b/c he can't talk at work. I reiterated when she would be recieving her money & that I didn't not want to talk to her again until I called to pay off the debt.
She's since called me 3 more times. I'm beginning to think she wants to be friends. For now I am ignoring her phone calls because I have stated TWICE to her when she would be recieving payment. Unless she's willing to reduce the amount I really have nothing to say to her. Her messages just say that she wants to know how we're coming along with getting the money. It's NONE of her business!
I've seen them be brutal before but this is just asinine. I've told them when they are getting their money why don't they just leave us alone? If I don't come up with the money THEN I can see them calling & harrassing all over again. I just hate dealing with these people they drive me insane!
