This collection agency has the rudiest, worst employees I have ever had the misfortune to deal with.

During my conversation with First Revenue Assurance Representives, I was verbally attacked and insulted. I was treated like a piece of trash.

I was hostile and yelled at me. He told me to be quiet. He said I was, "rude and ignorant." The representive kept repeating himself over and over, getting louder and louder. Like a recorder saying to me, "Put your daughter on the phone, put your daughter on the phone, put your duaghter on the phone, put your daughter on the phone."

It was impossible for me to speak. He couldn't hear me say that my daughter wasn't at home or I wanted to make a payment.

I asked for his name, but he refused to tell me. I asked for a manager. He told me "no." I asked for and address so I could write a letter to a manager.
He said, "that would do no good".

Finally, he heard me say "payment". I requested a second time to speak with a manager, I would make a payment only to a manager.

(I did not tell the rep this, but I did not feel comfortable giving this horrible person my personal information to make a make.

The rep said, "It's your lucky day, hold on". The rep decided to let a manager come to the phone.

The manager was as rude as the rep. The manager refused to take my payment. He also told me, "never to call again."

I called Sprint, I will be making all payments directly to them instead of
First Revenue Assurance. Sprint is not happy knowing that the company they hired to collect money is refussing to take the money!

The entire experience left me feeling emotional drained and humiliated.
I found the following law very interesting.

91 STAT.874 PUBLIC LAW 95-109, SEPTEMBER 20, 1977

The following quote is on First Revenue Assurance Website: The last sentence is a joke.
