I have made notes of our conversations, but unfortunately, I will not be able to stop calls or emails, until we have something set up for you.

The account will remain on the email and calling list, where collection procedures will continue for a alloted time while it is in default. Once that time has expired it will be forwarded to a collection agency where it will be charged additional default fees.
