They want their money, and they don't exactly hire the nicest/knowledgeable people. I routinely get collection calls for someone else based on this issue (who either had my number prior to me getting my phone OR the person gave them my number randomly), and I wouldn't invite them over for dinner.

Just because they want their money doesn't mean you have to pay it.

Why allow them to decide what you do?

My point is that they apply pressure, and it's only natural that people will pay to get it off

I got that. My point is why do you allow them to apply pressure?

Simply ignore them.
