The VERY first phone call I ever got when I started working in this business was a woman who went up and down both side of me screaming "How did you get my name and address...blah blah and my house isn't for sale...blah blah" and I calmly stated foreclosure is public record and her name was printed in the paper....the silence was sweet for me, but when I hung up my heart was POUNDING...I hated that call and never forgot it.One kind gentleman was drunk beyond belief and called me the "C" word, and if you're not a woman, you can't believe the impact that word can have...I was in shock and after was seriously ready to change my phone number until I realized all these people aren't really pissed at me, but their own messed up situation.

Then Silence, because they will be stumped someone asked them.

Oops, Logic fail number 2.Bring the data or silence the claims. 

Right now it's a dead silence. 

Assuming that it isn't just a call center in another state, I personally wouldn't put that on the call, but worse than that, there was just silence, I waited a full minute before calling back.  

We also confirmed with the selling agent we were the first offer submitted by almost 12 hours {it would have been more, but the agent did not take our offer to the bank until the next working day}After deafening silence from the bank, our window expired.

Or are you interpreting it's silence as meaning that the contract law is inapplicable.

Silence is as good a response as any when you get people like this.

I think the least of your worries should be the other peoples negativity silence them with success IMO.

They are renegotiating the second cat....................with silence.
