A Clear Case of Harrassment
At 8 am this morning (Oct 25), I was awakened to a very nasty phone call. The "woman" on the line was from Allied Interstate Collections. We talked for a few minutes about a past due long distance bill from 2003. I explained to her that we are a military family and do not make much money. I asked her if there was any way we could arrange a small monthly payment schedule until January. She then asked me if I was employed or receiving any disability, which I am not. This is the unbelievable part... She then said to me, "Why not? I assume you are not even looking for a job either." I was flabbergasted. I could not believe this woman had the gall to say that to me! I told her that that part of my life was between myself and my husband. She said, "no, not it's not... It's between you and me now!"
I called the number back and asked to speak to a supervisor and she proceded in telling me, "I just talked to you and I AM the supervisor." I asked to speak to someone above her and she refused.
There was alot more said between us, but that is the part I wanted to relay to everyone. These companies should NEVER be allowed to harrass ppl in this way.
