<prompt> Human: I have a 1000 payment that went to collections that I was planning on paying in a matter of time this month. Theyve been constantly calling me this week, and Ive recently told them over the phone to stop calling me, and that I would be the one to call them, yet they keep calling me. What should I do?  <response>: Send them a letter via Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested specifically stating that they cannot call you and that you require all communication in writing. Dont sign the letter -- just type your name. You dont want them to have your signature on file if theyre the dishonest type. And keep a copy of the letter along with the return receipt. They know better than to call you once theyve received your letter, and if they do call you anyway, you can file a report them for it.Also, dont call them. Phone conversations are hard to prove. Do everything by certified mail, so you have a nice paper trail.
