Are you actually directed to withhold information to bully people into paying up? I have only ever dealt with one collection call in my life (wrt unpaid bills, not loans) and I was almost in tears after it because the dude kept refusing to tell me what the consequences of not paying would be.

Can collections agencies even give deadlines like that?

In Ontario there is a procedure called a Form 1 that is an involuntary 72hr psychiatric hold.
