Conseco Finance ripoff, harrassing, low class Rapid City, South Dakota
Approx. 1 1/2 yrs ago we financed a mobile home through Conseco Finance. In my dealings with this rather unprofessional group of individuals it comes as no surprise to find they are going bankrupt. Shortly after we financed, my husband lost his job and our financial situation began to go downhill.
As we all know, it is not easy to recover once you've fallen behind. Despite our attempts to catch up, we have been harrassed continually by Kim, Eric, Lonnie and Allen (anyone dealing with this company is sure to have come across one of these for people). They call our house 5-6 times per day and call me at work several times a day. I have been degraded and put down to no end.
I have even had them call my husband just to let him no that I "like to hang up on people". I have even been sworn at in my dealings with this company. Hindsight is 20/20, knowing what I know now I would have continued to rent a living space the rest of my life rather than own anything associated with this company.

Unproductive.. Don't despair. They cannot ruin your life forever

I personally have no trouble with the concept of hanging up on unproductive conversations. If I am being harrassed, called names, and belittled, I will hang up and I will not feel ashamed about it. I am not obligated by federal or consumer law in dealing with creditors or debt collectors to endure even a minute of abusive and harrassing behavior. I am not obligated to listen to put downs, being called white trash or dead beat or loser or s**t or anything. Once the person at the other end gets personal and starts naming names, the conversation from a business standpoint becomes unproductive. Continuing with such a conversation is not in your best interest. I would hang up like you did. And I would just document the time and place the call occurred, the name the agent and what was said and if we ever have to go to arbitration or court, it will be on record.
Don't despair. They cannot ruin your life forever.
