On Friday XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX central time, I received a call from XXXX ( employee number XXXX ) with XXXX XXXX XXXX concerning the same matter. Once again, I asked them to send me a detailed statement of services rendered along with a bill and I will send check for full payment. She stated they sent the bill in the past. I told her I got the bill but not the detailed statement.
She continued her attempt to make me pay by credit card or to give her my bank info for an electronic check. I stated I was not giving my personal info over the phone and that I would promptly mail a check for full payment once I received the detailed statement and the bill. She continued to harass me and threatened to report as bad credit if didn’t pay with her. I Firmly asked XXXX if they are willing to take my check. She stated they ONLY take credit/debit cards and electronic check. I asked to speak with her manager and she put on hold and ultimately hung up.
