Any way to get bill collectors to stop calling the wrong number?

unrelated to getting asshats to stop calling you, I also worked in a collection agency (when I was in HS)....what a dismal place to work.  I didn't work collections either, but I was the target of their rage at the front desk who had to take their money if they came in to make a payment.

Yeah but your company has an attorney.  One phone call from an attorney stops the issue permanently.

The one I worked for was a pretty good sized company. Something like 12,000 employees. They had a private school for employees kids. That's where I worked. We were a massive tax write off and had stupid amounts of money thrown at us. That was the funnest job I've ever had.

I love getting calls like that. Whenever I get a wrong number, I pretend its right and tell them some crazy stuff. In this case, I'd nicely tell them I was Forest, get the reps name, then say I was coming down there to chop off their hands and flush them down the toilet while they watched.

Some woman called me looking for Joe. I told her Joe was here, but couldn't come to the phone because he was in the other room with Heather (a great slutty chick sounding name, IMO). I bet Joe had a ---smurfy--- night when he got home.  :laugh2:

Yes, I'm a horrible person.  :dunno

Reply, "Yes, this is Forest" and then just go with the flow.
