Speaker 1 (00:00):
Don't answer the phone, Elvis Duran, the Elvis Duran's phone tap.
A little letter came in, says during Elvis. My grandfather
has a tendency to be short with people if his
feathers are ruffled. Most grandfathers are. He recently bought a
computer from a popular area electronics store and was told
he had six months to pay it off.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
What a great idea.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Please phone tap him and accuse him of being delinquent
with his payments. Take away the interest you credited him for,
and he'll get really mad from his granddaughter, Melissa. What
is better than playing a phone tap on granddad?

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Scary? Are you going to do the honors?

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Here we go. Hello, Hi, man speak with Frederick please.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Oh wow, you're speaking to him.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
This is Manny Petty over at the account's receivable department.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, it just has everything today.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Sir, pretty good.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
You just made the last of six payments on that
computer you bought.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
From us about a month and a half ago. I
guess you're a little late with the follow up, right, It.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Took you eight months when our policy was and I
see we've credited you the interest.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
You didn't credit me when I bought it. They told
me I had four years to pay it out. I
don't pay interest.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Did you read the fine print?

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Sir? Let me finish my story.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Okay, Oh wow, you're getting a little route here.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah. Well, because you're telling me that you miscredited me
and you're talking about my money. When I spoke to
the gentleman, he says, well, you don't have to pay
interest if you pay it off in six months, right,
And that's what I did. I paid it off in
five and a half months.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Well, we just got your payment last week.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
You didn't just get my payment last week.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Well that's when it was posted.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Well, that's not my problem. You want me to pull
out my money or I sent that payment to you
a month and a half ago.

A fool out of me? No, sir, I just want
to tell you that you're not getting your interest. We're
going to discredit that, so I don't want you calling
it crying.
