I fucking hate pushy telesales callers especially one's from debt collection departments.

My younger brother is in a fair bit of debt and the amount of phone calls that I take because he put the house number down instead of his mobile is a joke. Also the time at which they call, 10.30pm at night... really?

"When will he back we NEED to speak to him urgently".

Me: "I don't know, it's a matter of catching him".

"Can you give me a time?"

Me: "Are you listening to what I'm saying?".

"Yes but we need a time so we can get in touch with him".

Phone goes down as soon as I ask them where they're calling from but they soon call back and it's fucking relentless.

What's the best way to deal with these scum bags? (Apart from him paying off all his debts, which aint going to happen any time soon).

Give them his mobile number, give them his works phone number. Cuntish thing to do perhaps, but he needs to man up and face his issues rather than letting you or other members of the family suffer the hassle of taking his calls for him all the time.

Perhaps if he actually speaks to them they may be able to work something out with him.

Tell them he's moved out. Or answer the call but say nothing and put the phone on the side. Some of them aren't allowed to hang up and must wait for you to.

Definitely hand over his mobile number and tell them in no uncertain terms that relentlessly calling innocent family members is harrassment. They will ignore that completely but should at least start calling him directly. I know its not a permanent solution but maybe unplug your phone after 9pm?

They have his mobile number and I can only assume they ring that as well but they still ring the house all the time.

I just don't like the tone of some of them, talk to you as if you're their fucking employee.

Either:

a) Don't answer the phone. Turn the ring tone to off or unplug the phone. Mates and anyone that matters will ring you on your mobile.

or

b) Answer and say nothing. When they say who they are put the phone down.

or

c) Answer and let them listen to nothing. Or better still ear piercingly horrible noise, music, babble, the most dull/insane youtube rant/diatribe/boring waffle about whatever, or that Geordie dude yelling at the telesales guy telling him to fuck off on endless loop. If the speaker is right next to the phone it doesn't have to be that loud.

The world is your lobster.

Phones are for when you want to ring someone about something, not for random spacktards to waste your time with.

Just remind them that if they carry on you will report them for harisment.

Quote:
The debt collector cannot call you at unreasonable times or places. Typically, this means that they should not call you before 8:00 a.m. in the morning or after 9:00 p.m. at night unless you agree to let them call you at those hours. A debt collector may call you at work unless you let them know that their employer disapproves of this. If you do get contacted at work, immediately notify the debt collector if your employer prohibits this.

Stopping debt collection contacts
You can request that the collector stop contacting you. You should do this by writing a letter to the debt collection agency in addition to telling them over the telephone. Be sure to keep a copy of the letter for your own records. When the debt collection agency receives the letter, they should not contact you again except to tell you if they are going to take specific action concerning the debt.

Get him to send a letter and say he will only communicate via written form other wise they will be reported for harassment.

And then CCA the debt monkeys. Most can't provide any paperwork. So the debts are not enforceable

Tell them to hold and then leave the handset off the hook. They will soon get fed up and hang up Laughing

That BT call is as old as the internet but still amusing. Don't think anyone could piss me off that much to shout like that down the phone.

Without sounding like a condescending dick, could he not just pay back the people he owes money to?

They're only chasing him for their own money back...

Haha, yeah that call is legend at work. After that call BT sent some engineers round and physically disconnected his line.

Put a finger in your pussy, move it around.

Even though they have his mobile they still will call the house phone.
This is becuase thay want to cause maximum distress and annoyance to the family in the hope that you will put extra pressure on him to pay the debt.

Tell them you have never heard of him, you have just had your phone line connected and this is your new number.

Tell them he has moved out/ is missing/ dead

two tricks I use

first off if they ask for your brother say he's not in but you are a friend
to there next question answer "I am a minister for the church of satan and looking to convert people"
you will get an "Uh" or some other reply but if they persist in there bothering you ask
would you like to partake in the sacrifice of a chicken or maybe a small child if your more adventurous
I'm about to perform one just now and your interrupting can you call back at a more convenient time

then hang up

or option 2 if you know its them (caller ID / number display)
answer in a Chinese accent

allo won ton garden, our special today is special flied lice with every order over 10 pounds
you want to make order, flee delivery on orders over 20 pounds ??
again expect a confused reply of ok I have the wrong number
or if other just keep up the sharad
and loose the plot saying if you no want to order I hang up repeat if they call back getting more irate saying you cost me business
customers can't call because you harass me and hang up Thumbs Up

I've got debt collectors phoning me, but it isn't for me. Whoever the debt is with has got the wrong number. I just say they've got the wrong number and if they can take me off the list.

Works fine until another company takes the debt on, and they get my number. But only get one or two calls from them before they take it off.

Might be worth trying that.

Record the next call, being very polite.

Give them his mobile on this call, and express that this is the last time they have any permission to use this line, further contact on such will be their agreement to invoicing them 25pound per time for 'helping'. Ask them, if under the Data Protection Act they are allowed to discuss ANY of your relatives sensitive financial dealings with you without first notifying the relative, this includes informing (and confirming) you of a debtors account.

Then, as you wrap the call up ask if there's anyting you can help with, but quickly say "no?, thanks.. bye".

This gives you a legally enforceable opportunity to bill them for your wasted time and grounds to notify police or whatever of harrasment.

(I suppose if you string it along long enough, you might actually be able to bill them for what he owes!)

Me, I always just tell mates to say "as far as I'm concerned I have an account with your 'client', my contract is legally set up with them and I advise you notify them to contact me or i will take it as a good faith gesture the account will be written off. Thumbs Up
