WTF!!!!Bank of America 'called grieving widow 48 times a day to remind her of husband's debt'

You know....what ever happened to "fight fire with fire when water is gone"?

If that lady was my mother, I and my siblings would return the favor. Call 'em until they get the fucking picture. Look up laws, and quote different parts of it.

Failing that....they would probably have to start looking for new windows for their buildings. Cause there would be very unexpected and very localized brick hail storms raining down on BOA buildings.

for 2 yrs I haven't answered the phone (unless I know the #) and let message get it. 9 out of 10 times they don't leave a message, and usually its an automated message with a call back number.God, those people a stupid to think I'll call back. I guess they think I'll be more honorable to them than they are to us...( my message is: you've reached ###-####, leave a message, thanks.)

Hahaha, at first I'd answer the phone on occasion and say - You've reached Scared Hearts Convents prayer line, Mother Treasa speaking, may I help you? - LOL, they'd ask for me and I would repeat (what I just said above) and they'd hang up....LOL.....sometimes ya just got to have fun with those idiots.

the banks have stolen from us for yrs and yrs. and if collections are stupid enough now a days to want to buy my debt from the bank (and each other) well, they get what they deserve - a big fat fucking ZERO! They can take me to court all they want. I don't show up to waste my time losing (and I will)...they can't get blood from a turnip or someone who owns nothing.
I like the returning of the mail idea...I just burn it instead. I like the vision of them burning in HELL.

I'll pay my basic living expences before I will ever pay those fuckin crooks another cent!!!!

It was very good and I want people to share their stories..it's the only way we have of getting the word out.

i like your attitude and ideas. quoting the law back to them seems like a way to confound them.

a hail of bricks. i'd be quoting charles fort for that one.

you get'em!! giving them zero and avoiding them can be our only recourse. unless or until they start showing up at our homes. then they will be trespassing and i will have a nasty surprise for them.

it was no problem.

i encourage anyone who has been shafted by BOA to get to brie's site and lambast them but good.

Canada Post will do not give us (the real resident) any choice in this. It is up to the old tenant/owner to notify the post office with a change-of-address form, that we have to pay at least $30 for 6months of having them redirect our mail to our new address. I always do this, when I move, so that my mail will come to my new address. But the old owner of my property never put in for a change of address to the post office. Hence, after 2 years I'm still getting her mail. I have been returning it to the senders and still they continue to send it to me. Fed up with it. Now I just throw it in the garbage.

that is so messed up. i would totally trash that mail and not worry about the previous tenent. sorry you have this happening to you.

you get'em!! love the line you would use to answer the phone. really great.

they deserve shit, nada, zilch.

i understand how you feel. they can't take what's not there.

fuck'em. with a sharp stick that has lots of splinters on it.

It's a bank; why the heck are you surprised?

These big companies are so rigid that they can't make any exception. We have AllState Insurance for our cars, home, golf cart, umbrella policy, and so I decided once that I would write them all on one check and send it with all the bill stubs so they could apply them correctly....wrong! Boy did I make a mess of things. They applied all to the car insurance, which then had this huge surplus and the rest were considered past-due. What a pain getting it straightened out.

acting like humane humans? silly, i suppose.

i bet it was. they don't seem to have any common sense do they?

did they bill you extra for being late? i hope not.

LMAO! Now that's funny. They love money, OP, not humans.

No late charges. They just chewed me out and told me each bill had to have a separate check and be mailed in a separate envelope. Excuse me for trying to save a little time and money. LOL!

Sort of related.... Anybody have trouble with medical bills?

We are fortunate to have insurance and to be able to pay our medical bills so far. However, we've had it happen twice, with two separate ER visits, to pay the hospital and other bills and think we were fine. THEN, six months later, we get bills from collection agencies from doctors we do NOT know. We didn't get EOBs. They are for stupid amounts. One was thirteen dollars; one was thirty. Small stuff but thing is we didn't recognize them. I called to ask for an itemized statement; they never did send the darn thing. And I don't want to give my credit card to strangers. They are the most annoying buttholes in the whole world.

Finally just paid to shut them up. I think the docs in question (I guess some tech who outsources for ER) forgot to bill our insurance or something. I hate this crap.

Bill collectors make it a policy now to hound the relatives of the deceased for their bills. All they have to do is trick you into making one payment on it, and the law says you've assumed the debt

Apparently they even skim obituaries and target people that way, too.

for realz!! do they not know the price of freaking stamps nowadays? it will be really bad if the postal service goes under, like they are now threating to do.

did you see that thread? about the postal service? unbelievable the amount of money that is mismanaged in our country.

that is a shitty thing to do. skimming obit?????

i'm almost to the point where i believe all this stuff has to fall apart. it's like a leviathan.

perfectly okay. this all ties together.

my parents have both been sick. there have been a mountain of bills. every once in awhile we get one that says overdue or something like that. we then find out, as you have, that it was not covered by insurance or was not part of the hospital or doctor's billing.

we have disputed a number of them. some of them were double billings, once for the hospital and then for the doctor. both for the same amount. double payment is not happening.

they can kiss my ass.

never give your cc# to these people. if you hear from them again, state you want a detailed and itemized list from them.

you have to say, 'detailed and itemized'. i found this out the hard way.

Answer and say this is a business we do not accept this type of call.

This is your notice to remove us from your list.

Goodbye.

Get a 1099 and learn deductions. IRS audited me once and I took the agent through hell and back playing before I gave them the 'info'. Haha he dared not ask another question.

Learn some social engineering.
