After thirty-nine years as a debt collector, Jeffrey Esko has heard every excuse imaginable…and then some! Whether claiming someone died, posing as the debtor’s twin, or using the age-old phrase “The Check is in the Mail,” people have done wacky things to avoid paying up.

This book is based on Jeffrey Esko’s real-life experiences in the collection industry. Through these absurd but true stories, Esko recounts the most interesting moments of his career. It seems, in the case of collections, nothing is funnier than the truth.
