Midwest Title Loan Employee who called my home was rude and refused to listen to me. Blue Island Illinois
A person in my household has a "loan" from Midwest Title Loan. Midwest Title Loan called and I answered the phone. I told them I was too busy to take a message and then the employee got upset and started threatening me. Telling me aren't I concerned about this person with the "loan" and don't I care about what happens to their car. And how could I be too busy to take a message and since I answered the phone I should take the message. I told him not to call my home again, called him a bottom feeder and hung up. The employee proceeded to call my home three times and hung up each time I answered.
I work from home, I am busy trying to complete the tasks of the day. Sometimes people call me regarding business and so I answer the phone. I shouldn't be afraid to answer my phone. I don't owe Midwest Title Loan. I don't have to do business with them. I didn't know or care what Midwest Title Loan was until this occurred.
Since this incident Midwest Title Loan has called and left threatening messages on my answering machine and called to harass me during my work day after I told them not to call anymore.
Midwest Title Loan should not be telling me the personal business of the person owing them money. That is personal and confidential. If this is their standard practice then it stinks. What if my child answered? What if another member of my family answered? Does the person who took out the "loan" have no privacy?

Companies should not be allowed to made rude nasty phone calls to people regardless of whether someone owes money or not. If I say that I don't have time to take a message end of conversation. Hang up your little phone and go on to another call. End of conversation. End of rebuttal.

I think certain states have certain privacy acts. Some can tell you little or nothing, some can tell you just about everything except the account number. I would be more upset with the person who took the loan out. They gave out your number. And they are probably still calling, obviously, because the person has not paid them, and that is the # they have for them. I would keep calling too if I knew that person was there and wasn't paying me. As far as calling them bottom feeders just remember who went to them to take out the loan. They didn't come to your doorstep did they? No. it is NOT THE COMPANY'S FAULT, once again. It is the person who takes out the loan! People need to realize that, and if they are not going to pay, don't borrow. It's always easier to blame the company but the real blame should be on the person who borrowed it and is not paying it back. If someone borrowed money from you and didn't pay you back I'm sure you wouldn't like it. They are doing their job. Regardless of whether you don't like the business, it's something everyone should be used to by now, they have been around for a longtime and I don't think they are going anywhere.
