and that is why i say its a scum of the earth profession. A profession that is out to ruin lives.

look- I get it if you are just an employee who just needs a job (any job). But it takes a wholly different kind of scumbag to own and operate one of these things so you can make a living on the misery of others.

How is it profiting off the misery of others? Should people be allowed to get away with not paying their bills? By the time a debt ends up in the hands of a collection agency the debtor has been given notice multiple times.

Philosophically speaking, the debtor does not owe the collection company anything. Agencies purchase bad debt for pennies on the dollar or on a contingency basis and use questionable tactics that are often morally worse than poor people not paying their bills. They may be a necessary evil but they are evil nonetheless and the antithesis of what Jesus stood for, if you want to get biblical.

Oh for a church goer to be doing something like this is a bit of a laugh :lolz: but it's still really not wrong for someone to have to pay their debts.

I have had to deal with a lot of my employee's over the years with these problems. They would go out and buy cars, gadgets, consumer shit, not pay their rent etc and then not front up and pay so the agency would get in contact and I would have to start garnishing their wages. I had plenty of people like that and then others who were able to pay off their homes and put their kids through private schools. Some people just can't manage their money. I don't blame the agencies for using whatever tactics they have to recover a debt.

The real hardship cases are a small percentage of what they do. Most people just bite off more than they can chew.

its really not about not paying debts. its the unethical methods used. its destroying lives over something you purchased for a fraction of he former debt.

that and lots of times they dont care if the debt is already paid. imagine having your credit rating slashed because a company you never did business with decided you had a debt you already paid off. then spending multiple years proving it wrong all while having your financial life put on hold.

and im note even getting into the illegal collection methods a lot of these people use.

you really have no clue as to how it works on this subject. Hell- popes post was showing 5 billing errors from barretts company alone!

Actually I do. A lot more than most.

I have had to chase debts into the tens of thousands from businesses. As I mentioned previously I have had to comply with garnishee orders due to employees not paying their bills. I have to deal with dead beats not paying their child support. At least 20 times I have had to deal with collection agencies helping them to reclaim debts.

There instances where people fall through the cracks and get chased for the wrong reasons but thats the minority. Most people's signatures on a contract is worth nothing unfortunately and they think it is their right to walk away from the trail of shit they created.

You're in business Chris, look at it like this. Joe Blow arcade gets in contact with you and orders 30x cabs and then walks away from the deal after you invoiced them because "y'know, times are hard" is it ok for them to do that?

Call me when giant fees are added to something you dont owe by a company you have never done business with.

Contrary to your belief more times than not people dont set out to not pay a debt. Lose your job? have to feed your family? yeah all dead beats right?

It's easy to write off everyone as a dead beat when you have never been on the opposite side of that equation. 3rd party debt collection is a predatory business by nature.

That's the thing, nobody does but they don't make paying the debt back a priority either.

I will tell you that most of the ethically vacant scumbags or bosses that I have ever encountered in my career were bible thumping, verse-citing, jesus-guides-me-in-business-and-life religious nuts.

They justify it by being extra zealous and evangelical.... or that the company/person they're screwing over isn't christian, christian enough or belong to the same exact sect.

I'm not exactly what you'd consider "well-versed" in the bible, but wasn't Jesus kind of anti-business? Didn't he trash some sort of merchant at the temple? LOL, "Jesus guides me in business".

The Savior trashed the money changers and merchants at the temple because they were making money off people in the lords house, on holy ground. He wasn't anti business, he was pro-keeping things holy.
