KDM,
Google is your friend!
Like the OP, I have written higher ups and gotten assistance!
I had one medical collection in which I called the hospital. The CSR would not help me with a PFD (calling back from CA). She told me the 'quickest way' to get it resolved would be to pay the CA! She then told me if I paid her, she would tell CA to mark it paid/coll. So I google for the CS Manager and the Hospital Administrator. I emailed the CS Mgr and CC'd the Hospital Admin. I was called in 5 min! She said she understood the issues and said if I paid her right now she would remove from CA. Done!
It can happen and sometimes honey does work better than vinegar.
ALSO - folks, don't ignore those CA notices... at times I have talked with them the day the first notice arrives, pay it right then (to the CA) under the (written via fax) agreement that they will not report. Hasn't failed yet.
