Multiple calls during the day. Some are hang up calls, some are answered, then I am put on hold for 20 minutes and then they hang up. Some verbal abuse, e.g. " you got yourself into this mess '', or " we never take it off your credit report '' ( I was attempting to negotiate a settlement in exchange for a promise to delete ). We get close to an agreement to settle, i.e. 50 %, then the next time they call they start all over again with 90 %.
