willingtocope Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 My suggestion would be to either get a phone recording device or look up Recovering Attorney's web based recording service and call them. Begin the conversation with "I am recording this conversation, what did you want to discuss". If it becomes abusive or intimidating or if they say "we can't talk to you, this is your DHs matter" say, "okay, I tried...all further contact should be in writing and hang up".I'm assuming this is the OC....and therefore the FDCPA doesn't apply, so they can be much more difficult to deal with...but you still don't need to take their abuse...

divemedic Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Good, but I would do it politely. I would say "If you don't mind, I am going to record this, so I have a permanent record. Is that OK?"I have found that you get better results by not ticking people off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
