who are the nastiest/worst debt collection agency?

my money is on meritforce/mackenzie hall. any others? i find the ones that buy statute barred debts are the worst as this makes them very tenacious but only know of these two muppets.

    They are all nasty and uncaring. they sell unenforceable debts back and forth beetween each other. trying to pile on the pressure hoping people will eventually give in and pay.

    You know whoever you name you're going to make all the other children jealous don't you?
    I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
    (Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)


    As of the last count I have cleared
    [STRIKE]23.16%[/STRIKE] 22.49% of my debt. :(

    Go back to page three or four and look at my thread sad day for consumer action group and see how far the DCA s will go to convince people of how caring they are but kick you in the teeth when no one is looking.
