Texas Appellate Judge has life threatened by Collector
“I am the guy that's going to end your life, that's who I am,” is the reply.
This is what a collector said to a Judge on the Texas Court of Appeals.

I got a big kick out of this statement in that story...

“I recently recovered $275,000 for a client on an abusive collection call case and I'm not sure it had any effect on the conduct of the industry,” says consumer rights attorney Peter Barry.

I cannot imagine any collection call case being worth $275,000 unless it was a class action and the bulk of the award was for attorney's fees...wonder if I can find it on Lexis by attorney name? Anyone know anything about the case?

Someone posted one in the last year or so that was closer to $600,000. The punitive damages under state claims got it up that high.

Welcome to our world seems to fit nicely in this case, hope the judge hits them where it hurts. No, not the NU&$$ but on the wallet

That video is classic, but the "end your life" harassment call was directed at another woman. The article says: "like this recording with other victims."
