Calmly and shortly stating what happened and how you want it remedied is an all around great and underrated strategy for dealing with any organization and even individual relationships. Many people don't get what they want simply because they never ask.
In less acrimonious and regulated situations than dealing with debt collectors you can kindly ask if the other party would like a copy of your complaint by certified mail (that is, issue the least antagonistic of threats) and straighten things out by phone or email.
- HarryHirsch 8y agoCalmly asking for your money back never works, in my experience, the other party are crooks preying on the naive and helpless, and they know they are crooks. Asking for a serviceable address and then sending the demand letter has always worked, it establishes that you are not naive and helpless. What the other side absolutely wants to avoid is a public paper trail, they'll go to great lenghths to say away from the legal system, to continue to rip off the next poor sod.
