Washington Mutual - Visa Card — 

I recently game across some misfortune making in very difficult to make my credit card payment.  I spoke with one of Washington Mutual's collection agents and was spoken to in a very rude manner.  When I indicated that I had been actively seeking employment, without any luck, for the past several months, I was told by the agent that "there are hundreds of jobs out there and if I was really looking I would have found one!"  I offered, in good faith, to make payments of $50.00 per month until I can get on my feet.  At this point I was told that this payment was not good enough and I should borrow money from friends or family members to pay this.  I indicated that there was no way that this could be done, at which point the agent told me, very rudely, to "PAY MY DEBT" and he disconnected our call.  I understand that it is there job to collect past due debts, however, they certainly should be a little more sensitive to someone's personal situation and try to work with them to collect the debt.

contact the federal trade commission and file a report. then search online for credit forums for information on how you can stop unprofessional debt collection, as well as what you should do if you're unable to pay your credit card bill and they won't accept a payment plan.
