‘I don’t care if they call their brothers, exwives, children or parents,”

Until you get sued.

Hmmmm.... I wonder. Is there criminal and/or civil charges that can be made against companies who knowingly hire unethical bill collectors? For example, if someone knows they are hiring a collection firm that illegally contacts relatives or engages in other illegal methods, can they be be legally pursued?

Well, first off, that’s why you hire an agency, and you don’t collect yourself.

Secondly, its attitudes like that that make me sick to my stomach. Sounds like your the sort of person who thinks its ok to not pay your bills, then litigate. I’ve run into that type before as well. I would never classify them as conservative, I would classify them as bottom feeders.

How about you just buy what you can afford, and pay your bill?

Oh, and I have been sued, and will be sued again, its part of the cost of doing business, and that cost is factored in to our pricing, which everyone pays for. But there are those who game the system, and make a living off of suing business owners, yet its the same ones who complain that it costs them $120 - $150 an hour to have a tradesman in their home.

I hope I interpreted your comment wrong, because the only thing I despise more than lawyers are those who use them to take advantage of others who provide an honest service.
