I'm getting a bit sick of getting cold called about all manner of things, in particular companies that want to solve all my financial woes.
But, I thought I was very polite tonight when called by Break Free, which I think is a company with a call centre in the Indian Sub Continent, who appear to help freeze all interest and wipe out huge chunks of my debt. I think, because I really couldn't get much sense out of them.
Not surprising really, because my only response to anything the call centre guy said was: "YEEEES!"
"Do you have debts you want to clear?"
"Yeeeees!"
"Can you tell me how much you owe?"
"Yeees!"
"Well, is it £1,000? £2,000?"
"YES!"
"Which is it sir? £1,000 or £2,000?"
"Yeeees"
"£2,000?"
"Yes"
"Can you tell me the nature of the debt?"
"Yeeesss"
"Credit card? Can you tell me which credit card?"
"YES!!!!"
"A credit card. How much is owing?"
"Yes."
"Sir, do you understand me? Do you speak English?" (This from a guy with an accent thicker than Ganges mud.)
"YEEES!"
"Sir, I am having to transfer you to my supervisor. Vill you hold?"
"Yeeessss."
CLICK "Hello sir. I understand my colleague has been explaining to you about how we can help you with your debts under a Government sponsored deal. Do you understand how vee can help you?"
"Yes."
"Sir, do you have debts that we can arrange to have interest frozen and reduce your payments?"
"Yes."
"Sir, what is it the nature of your debts? How much do you owe?"
"Yeeeees."
I think you can guess the rest.
