Tactics of the collection agencies

This American Life had an interesting segment about a man plagued by bill collectors.

Not that he was being stalked, but the surprisingly varied tactics his creditors used to get in touch with him. One mailed him a bill every single day. Another called him only to play a Madonna song (in its entirety) and hang up.

The odd things they do are most of the fun, but Bill Cotter's nonchalant delivery is entertaining in itself.
