Harassment From Phone Co.
I am having a problem with AT&T. I paid my LD bill with a money order. Somewhere in there web of piss ant clecks they applied it to local service. I have told them and told them what happened, still about every other day I get a call from them wanting me to make payment via electronic check or credit/debit card. I was wondering what the code was for telling them not to call me anymore. I saw it on here before(Brett posted it several times) section 1806 or something like that. We survived a chapter 13 and have been paying bills on time just really burns my butt that they screwed up and then have the balls to harass me over it. Thanks anyone have more help on handleing these boso's send me e-mail so we don't take too much bandwidth.
Answer:
To get the collection agency to stop calling and writing, send it a certified letter, return receipt requested, stating, "Pursuant to section 1692c(c) of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, please cease all communication with me." This will stop everything but two types of communications; telling you that: (1) it will terminate future collection efforts; (2) it may or will invoke specified remedies that are normally invoked by the debt collector (i.e. suing you or sending the case to a lawyer). If it doesn't stop, you've got a dandy of a Fair Debt Collection Practices Act case against it.
