I get daily calls from collection boogeymen for a woman I don't know, who obviously made up a phone number on applications, even though I tell them I don't owe anybody a dime. They are Boogeymen.

that man's name is Jacob Corlyon of Capital Collection Management and he should be ashamed

This is the epitome of tonedeaf. Editors actually allowed this to publish - those editors need to be evaluated. Wow, this is bad.
