Despite being loathsome, payday loan collectors aren't the scummiest. They're hilarious scofflaws who blatantly lie, but they're not typically malicious. Medical bill collectors, those have been the biggest assholes in my experience.

debt collection is absolutely the scummiest business though. the business model is buying uncollectable debt from primary lenders at $0.10 on the dollar and everything you get above that is profit

someone should start like a patreon or something that buys as much debt as possible every month and just forgives it instantly

i had to do bill collections calls and it genuinely makes you a bad person. you cant do it without having an "us vs. them" attitude because its your job, and its not a job you choose because you have better options

this wasnt my primary job. i did it in house because i was the guy good at handling pissed off people on the phone, and this was in-house collection before the debts were sold off to a third party (loan collector)

but looking back im not very proud and feel bad about it.

yeah i did that job for almost a year because it was by far the best paying job I could get with no degree or skills. it turned me into a loving monster pretty quickly, thinking of everyone I called as a liar and a thief. thankfully I had a breakdown and got fired

one time i fell for a lovely scam. i thought it was legit because it was based on the No Child Left Behind thing, but the short version is that tutoring companies could match underperforming children with tutors and collect payments on up to 34.5 hours of work with each child

i bombed out of it, partially because they refused to take some kids whose families i couldnt contact off my book. if i didnt get them off my book they were going to charge me $17/hour for every hour of difference between the tutoring they had received and the cap of 34.5

so i could have been on the hook for hundreds of dollars, because i was mostly assigned to children whose parents may well have been non-legal residents who got scared when I, a white man who sounded white, called htem up. like two of them immediately changed their phones so they couldnt receive incoming calls after i left them a voicemail

i managed to get out of it after being on hold for several hours and then sending them some angry emails

Worst quote I've ever heard from a bill collector: "If you couldn't afford the treatment for your husband's stroke you should have let him die."

i love this idea but you would need actual business infrastructure to file paperwork with various credit agencies to ensure the debt is removed

medical bill collectors are loving insane and i'm not talking about agencies that buy medical debt. i was outpatient in a hospital for a test right after my deductible reset and got calls from them before the bill even arrived in the mail. garbage people.
