Augusta Collection Agency is vicious. I contacted them to pay once I found out the bill existed ( someone else actually used my credit card, but I wanted to pay it so it would not hurt my credit ). Augusta Collection Agency messed up the information I gave them to pay the bill. So, they called me, but my friend answered. They discussed the debt with this third party. Then when I called and complained the woman was rude to me. I asked for the manager and he got on the phone and was worse. He yelled, was profane and threatened to refuse to accept my payment and send the bill to collections, if I did not apologize to them. He was lying to me, because I did not know at the time it had already been reported on my credit. So, I had to apologize to them for them to accept my payment, even though they were in the wrong. They are horrible, XXXX people.
