Credit card Communication tactics Used obscene/profane/abusive language Wisconsin

I received a call from Alpha Recovery Corp saying that I still owed debt on a credit card that I had 2 years ago, I was under the impression that I had paid off that card in full, it turns out they had an old address on file so I didnt receive anything about it. When they asked me to pay I said that I would pay it this month and if I could n't pay the whole amount I would at least pay part of it, but that I would like a paper bill mailed to me and I gave her my current address. Since there are so many scammers out there, I never just give people money over the phone, I wanted proof of what I owed. The representative transferred me to her supervisor after I asked her to send me a bill, he started off by repeating most of what the previous rep had said so I said, I 'm sorry I 'm really busy right now, will you just send me a bill and I will take care of it. He started to get angry and agressive at this point and said that this account was


me off I 'm going to disconnect this phone call. He yelled back oh you 're going to disconnect this phone call? Do you think that 's going to hurt my feelings if you disconnect this call? You 're the one not paying your debts. He was literally yelling at this point, I tried to interrupt to tell him that I have every intention of paying debts that I owe, but he would n't let me talk so I hung up. I called the number right back and got another rep, by this time I was sobbing, I have never been treated so horribly by someone who is a supposed to be a professional, I told the rep that answered what happened and also told her that I have every intention of paying my debts and also asked for the manager 's name that I had just spoken to, I could tell she felt bad, but she didnt sound surprised. I googled the company after I got off the phone and found a TON of people experiencing the same issues with this company. The one good thing that came out of it was that it ended up being a learning opportunity for my son, who was unfortunately sitting next to me through the whole thing, on how important it is to be decent human being.
