collection call
Creditor's phone demand
A collection call is a phone call from a creditor or debt collection agency attempting to recover money owed: I've been dodging collection calls all week.
These calls follow up on unpaid bills, overdue accounts, or defaulted loans.
The term carries associations with financial stress and aggressive pursuit of payment.
