Collection Agency
So…sometimes, when a man and a woman have trouble getting pregnant, the guy has to go to one of these places, and, uh…
Ok. Different kind of collection.
A collection agency is seeking a…different form of currency. That is...literal currency. Greenbacks. Cashola.
Whose money are they after, exactly? Deadbeats. Anyone who made a promise to remit payments...to pay back a mortgage, to pay off a credit card, you name it…and then defaulted on that promise.
Yeah, because when you sign your name on the dotted line and agree to pay back a lender for their generous loan or extension of credit, paying them back is not really a suggestion.
Once you fall behind enough, a collection agency gets called in to track you down, deliver nasty, threatening letters to your mailbox, and if it’s a New Jersey collection agency, send someone to break your kneecaps with a billy club. If the message still isn’t getting through to you, the next step is for the agency to set the wheels in motion that will result in the repossession of your home, your car, or your treasured, signed set of Big Bang Theory trading cards you swore would be buried with you.
So yeah...if you choose not to make good on your obligations, you shouldn’t expect the people you owe to forget about it, or go easy on you.
