Narrative (may be redacted).

I have been constantly been getting annoying phone calls from a debt collection agency over a debt that is XXXX years old. I tried to reach a settlement with the collection agency in which they replied that they would get back to me with a response. One of the representatives then proceeded to daily harass my family members stating that they where going to arrest my mother, garnish my aunts social security benefits. I contacted the debt collection agency and asked them to please stop calling my family members and if they had any further questions to contact me either by phone or email, i received no calls from them but they continue to harass and intimidate my aunt. I called the agency again and told them that i would make payments as previously discuss i just wanted in writing what we had agreed on the amount of settlement and the monthly payments that would then follow. Still i heard no response from the agency they continued to intimidate my aunt about my debt. The problem is this agency wont accept payment if it is not cash and they ignore the fact that i am requesting written notice of the settlement amount we had agreed on. I also dislike how they continue to badger my aunt about them garnishing her social security benefits, and telling her they have a lawyer. My aunt is XXXX XXXX woman whose only income is her social security benefits, she is ill and does not need a collection agency aggravating her daily with threats.
