A debt collector called me once trying to find my ex-wife. During the short conversation he asked me if I would pay it for her. To this day I wonder how long he stayed on the line because I dropped the phone due to laughing so hard.
The "debt collector" remedy is the easiest one of them all.
"I'll pay that debt, post haste, right here, right now. Just show me the CONTRACT I have with your company.
Ya see? I don't have a CONTRACT with the debt collection company. They bought that debt from the company I had a contract with.
I understand all that. It was just the audacity to ask me to pay a debt that someone else acquired was hilarious.
