this too?


There are always notices now that "the information you give will be used to collect a debt" type of thing..


I don't know the exact wording but something about this is an attempt to collect a debt and any information you give will be used for it.


I wonder if it's some new law or something because it just seems odd.

Hey Becky!

A few years back our mortgage was sold to another company. I called one day to get information and there was a similar message on their automated answering machine. Anyway, when I got a hold of a real person, I complained that it was insulting to assume that everyone calling was trying to avoid payment. The guy didn't really have an answer. As I recall, he said they do a lot of collections.

FYI -- that company was awful. And when we sold our house, it took over a year to get them to report it to our credit company -- even though we complained numerous times.

Hey Sandra, wouldn't happen to be Washinton Mutual you are talking about would it?


I've heard some very similar gripes about them.
