The amount is not in question, it's your methodology. You and I both know the way you savages stay employed is to ensure the debtor pays as much as possible, for as long as possible. Hence why you are suggesting this person simply send off post dated cheques and trust that all will work itself out as it should in the end.
I'll cut you a little reprieve though, at least your not suggesting that Cash, or Western Union wire transfers be used as a form of payment; though my feeling is that if the amounts were large enough the temptation would be hard for the typical collector to resist.
Regardless, obtaining a written settlement agreement prior to sending any payment is paramount when dealing with any of these bloodsucking outfits. How many times have we heard of agencies making excessive phone calls, phone calls outside the legislated hours, defying Cease and Desist orders, uttering threats, failing to supply the debtor with documentation to support the claim for the amount being collected....??? And the list goes on, and on... So if the Agencies are going to outright break the rules, then every debtor should avoid putting any trust into a verbal promise, or, good faith gesture that they may off-the-cuff submit.
