TEL DTR POE NLT; TEL RES N/A, LMTC V/M (the code is broken for you)

If you can understand the title to this blog then you were at one time or are now a bill collector.  For the rest of you who cannot figure it out, the long version is….. “I telephoned debtors place of employment and he is  no longer working there, then I called his residence and there was no answer so I left a message on the voice mail.”  Of course if you are contacting debtors all day long you need to develop a very good “shorthand” to save time and your wrists.  The collection industry has standardized this shorthand and teach it to all of their employees so everyone can understand what was said.  How do I know this you ask?  I spent 22 years in the credit and collection business and in the next series of my posts I am going to be taking questions from you the public about collection agencies, their tactics, what you should do if… and so on.  So, if you want your questions answered or if you  know somebody that’s being pursued by a bill collector you can anonymously post your questions or opinions here and I will attempt to offer some insight from someone who’s been on the “other” side of the phone call.    We can talk about legal actions, settlements, threats, licensing, collection tactics and strategies, will they sue you?, how they make money etc.  So please reply to this post with your questions and I will reply to every one of you.  I promise!  Just hit the button right over there ———->      where it says “leave a comment”.  Watch for the first questions to be answered!
