what can you do if they called you on a sunday for a bill you owed & you payed it?

I can tell you from experience, bill collectors will call at any time and any day. \n\nCall them back and advised them you paid it. If there's a question about that, let them know you will send them a copy of the check once it has cleared (if it hasn't yet).

Send them a letter via mail return receipt requested stating that the money is not owed and the reason why. If you have a receipt showing that you already paid the debt.  Inform them if they do not cease harrasing you, you will (1) report them to the better business bureau and any other state agencies that deal with unscrulous debt collectors and (2) institute a claim under the fair debt collection practices act, and you will seek treble damages. Request they send you a letter stating that you do not owe them any money.

call them and explain the situation. At the end of the day you agreed to pay it by accepting the card but they are not heartless people. \n\nAdvise of your current situation with income and other outgoings more important (car, house etc) and then arrange a repayment plan. The sooner you do it the better.\n\nIn some cases they will stop you being able to use the card and will stop or at least reduce the interest charges, but you're better contacting them sooner rather than later

What ever you borrowed isn't worth the pain of having to call you to get it back....\n\nTry borrowing something more expensive next time...

The previous answer is untrue. \nAs per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, if you TELL them to cease and desist from calling you, it is usually sufficient. If not, you'll need to put your request in writing, and you're well within your rights to do so. If you owe them money, that's one thing, but they don't have a right to call and harass you. Continued calling after you've advised them to stop constitutes harassment.\nIf you still have problems, even after putting your request in writing, contact the FTC.\nI pray that your financial situation improves, too. :)

Go back the the first branch you went to (presumably the one that called you) and ask to speak to a manager.  Tell them what you were told over the phone.  Be polite and couteous, but firm.  Tell the manager that this is not acceptable.  If they do no immediately promise to refund the money, ask to close your account on the spot.

THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE.  YOU SHOULD SEEK ADVICE OF A LAWYER IN YOUR STATE FOR ADVICE REGARDING STATE-SPECIFIC  AS WELL AS APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAWS.\n\nOK - got the disclaimer out of the way.  \n\nYou could always pay the bill and provide the creditor with the payment details.  If things have gone beyond the phase of simply just paying the bill there are laws which protect consumers from unwieldy and unwelcome calls from creditors.  The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act governs what creditors can and cannot do in the pursuit of collecting unpaid debt.  If you don't want to receive the calls you may want to consider telling the creditor just that the next time you get a collection call.  Keep a record of the calls and how you respond to them. If it gets out of hand, abusive or overbearing the best thing to do is get in touch with a local attorney.\n\nGood luck.

I'm not sure that there is a legal limit as to how many times a day creditors can call you, however, I used to work at Verizon. What I know is that they aren't "technically" allowed to call you before 9:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. and supposedly not on Sundays. My experience with my Mortgage company has been totally different. They've called me on Sunday mornings before 9:00 a.m. before. If I'm one day late with my payment, they call me all day long. I've threatened reporting them, but they don't care. So now, I just answer my phone with my business name, and if I'm a little late with a payment, they think they have the wrong number. When they ask for me, I just tell them that "this is a business, and I don't know who 'she' is." That helps alot, trust me! I think if we all start reporting these people, they just might start adhering to the regulations. One other thing that is good to know, if your friend has a residential line, there is an 800# you can call to be put on the national "Do Not Call" list. Unfortunately, bill collectors have rights to call, but they aren't supposed to go outside of their boundaries to do so. Business line customers can't get on the list, however, because they are at an advantage to advertise any time they make a call, because of the caller-id feature.\n\nI don't know why the times showed up as *, but the the times are nine o'clock.

Somebody has to pay your bills.

Yeah, but they could consider it late regardless.\n\nSome companies have a 3 or 5 day grace period, though.  It should be on your bill.\n\nIf you're unsure, and you REALLY don't want it to be late (even by one day), call your credit card company and see if they have any immediate payment options.  Mine allows automatic bank drafts and also has a western union address, so we can run up to walmart, kroger, or any other place that does western union and pay it, and it posts immediately.

You sould be able to call them and state that you still have not recived your pay. But they have about 3o day when the court has told them to pay you. so you would have to wait about a month.

You need to call your bank in the morning. If you just recently paid a bill it may have not gone through yet. Is your check direct deposited? If so it may not be cleared until Monday. My son-in-law had that problem and ended up with about 3 hot checks to pay for. Call your bank and ask about it. I would not write any checks, even Friday, until you find out if it is cleared.

The problem is that this would of been passed through debt collections of the phone company then to the debt recovery agency then to solicitors so this would of been going on for a while. Did you not set up a payment plan with the recovery agency? \nOnce its reached a stage with solicitors im not too sure what happens, i would recommend going to Citizens Advice Bureau there always one locally or go on their website and they can help you. I know in certain instances they can ring the company in question and sort something out for you. Don't leave this issue, face it and you will have control then.. \nHeres the CAB website:\nhttp://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/index.htm
