I have been receiving calls from this collection agency, EVERY day at least once a day for well over a month now. I did answer over a month ago and let them know I lost my job a few months back and that I would pay the past due cable bill directly to the company it is owed when I receive my taxes, which I have not yet received. I also have made XXXX small payments towards this bill and mentioned to them that I was paying it down when I was able. I also answered XXXX of their calls two days ago and told them to cease and assist, they hung up on me and proceeded to try again the next day. It 's getting really irritating and they call sometimes at XXXX when my kids are asleep.
