Soul destroying job - chasing Student Loans
About 10 years ago I worked for a company which chased people who'd defaulted/hadn't deferred their loans. Most of the people we were calling were second generation immigrants at most, and a lot of the time the telephone number was their parent's address. Because it was a financial matter, we couldn't tell anyone apart from the person what the call was about, but had to make it sound as worrying as possible so as to get them to call back.

So yeah, my job was basically to call up and terrify elderly women with a poor command of English.

Lasted 4 weeks.

yes, unfortunately
I was there for about 3 months in 2004.

Edit: Were you there before or after they moved from Feltham?

Bagshot
When I was there, not 100% sure of dates - don't think it EVER went on my CV. Preferred to say I'd been unemployed.
