how can I stop harassing collection calls?
Ok, I really don't know what to do about these creditors calling everyday. They start as early as 8:45am to 8-9 pm at nite?! What is average call time for them anyway? When do you guys get involved? I am currently with FR Corp and it has not been a month yet. But they informed me that is usually takes about 6 months before they even start negotations with the creditors?!?
I don't know if I can hold them off for 6 months? These calls includes my parents bills as well, because I am their Power of Attorney, so I have a lot of them calling. I just mostly leave the phone of the hook for awhile, but on those days when I am not at home to catch the phone my elderly parents get the calls and they don't understand and they get very upset with the creditors once they hear how far behind they are. So any suggestions, on how to cut back on these calls or eliminate them all together would be of great help to me. My father has Alzeheimers and my mother Cancer and diabetes, so I really don't need anything upsetting them this bad, so your help is greatly appreciated on eliminating these calls.
Thanks.
