I've solved the problem of creditors calls! Get the cat to answer them!
Yesterday, I took a call from a creditor who had purchased the debt from another creditor (I think) and was demanding I make a payment and threatening legal action, blah, blah... I told him to ring back in 5 minutes as I needed to deal with something.
He duly did.... And as the phone rang, my cat, who is a bit of a character did what she often does and jumped on the phone as it rang... but this time she hit the speaker button and I got to listen to the call...
Caller: "Hello, is this Miss XXXXX?"
Cat: "Meow?"
Caller: "Hello? This is XXX from XX creditors"
Cat: "Meow, brrrupp, Mow, YOW!"
Caller: "HELLO, can you hear me??"
Cat: "YOW?? MrrrOW?"
Caller: "Hello? This is X of X credit agency, I've just called 5 minutes ago.."
Cat: "YOW, MRROW, YOWW!!"
The phone then went dead. *I* know what the cat was telling him ("She's in an IVA you idiot and you can't hassle her for money") but there was clearly some sort of language barrier between the cat and the caller.... [:D][:D]
