The Bill Collector's Story - a Novel

Bill collectors. We generally don't like them. Okay, we hate them. It's enough trouble that we could barely pay our bills, but it's even worst when collectors call our homes and send us letters demanding full payment of whatever we owe.

Collectors bring on tremendous stress on our lives and on our families. Our hearts race whenever the phone rings, we avoid going to the mail box, and everyday we wonder if the sheriff is going to knock on our door serving us with papers.

What make bill collectors scary is that we don't know what they can and cannot do. We fear they would garnish our wages, take money from our bank accounts, take away our homes and cars, and other things that we can't imagine. The stress is enough to drive us insane -- even to the point where ending it all seems like an attractive option.

Bill collectors are a scary group. One particular bill collector, however, was absolutely ruthless.

In The Bill Collector's Story, Lee Lawson was the cruelest, coldest, most heartless bill collector in North Carolina's infamously prominent collection agency, NRCA. He would hunt down his victims until they paid their dues. And they will pay, even if it meant losing their homes, cars, family heirlooms, savings, and even their jobs.

However, when NRCA's owner, Marcel Richardson, betrays Lawson by firing him, Lawson loses the lavish lifestyle that his job provided for him and his family. Reduced to poverty, living on almost nothing, and being chased down by the company he worked for, Lawson sees and feels the hard life his former victims lived everyday. And when a poor debtor takes his life due to intense pressure from NRCA, Lawson has a change of heart, realizes the errors of his deeds, and is determined to make amends for his wrongs by bringing down the big corporation that terrorizes the City of Raleigh.

With the support of his loving family, a lawyer-turned-maintenance man, and the entire city, Lawson is set on ending the NRCA nightmare once and for all and to bring peace in everybody's life.
