Yeah, some debt collectors are absolutely evil. Had a medical procedure that our (then) insurance wouldn't cover AFTER the doctor's office got the approval that went to collections DESPITE a prior arrangement with the various parties. That f*&kin' bastard called about 5 of our neighbors, 3 of my wife's co-workers, her manager, and several of our family members. All within about 30 minutes after he left a voice mail for us to call him. Guess he didn't want to wait an hour for us to call him back.
At any rate, it worked, we paid that immediately.
FWIW, the office that sent it to collections "couldn't do anything about it now that it's in collections. You'll just have to deal with them." I did however, talk to the office manager and let them know about the business practices of that agency, to which she seemed genuinely shocked. Don't know what happened with it.
