Imagine that. You lose your young son in a tragic event and to make things worse, you get hounded by creditors trying to get you to pay his debts.

“Roco and Laurie Crimeni’s 27-year-old son Vincent collapsed and died nearly a year ago of a sudden heart attack while he was playing softball.

“Since then, bill collectors have been calling and writing to his parents constantly to get them to pay his credit card debts”

“It’s like I have a knife in my heart,” Roco Crimeni told the station. “It started to heal and then the phone began to ring.”

Apparently the families lawyer sent letters to each of the companies attempting to collect from explaining the circumstances, but got no results.  When they got reporters involved, one of the accounts, Macy’s, has agreed to close the account and let the family grieve in peace.

“I’m afraid to pick up the phone in my own home,” he said. “That’s the hard part, to tell them my son is dead. How many times do I have to repeat it?”

“It’s been almost nine months of complete harassment,” she said. “I don’t understand what they don’t get.”
