Bill collectors?
I was reading an article in a magazine that spoke about bill collectors in Spain.
![]() Hay algunos que se visten en diferentes disfrases (sp?) para hacer este trabajo. Los usan para asi avergonzar a las personas que deben dinero. Todo mundo se da cuenta que debes dinero y que no haz pagado cuando el (bill collector) cobra cuentas (??) llega a tu domicilio. Entrevistaron a una señora que esperaba al "cobra-cuentas" con un balde de agua. Esto se oye muy cómico ![]() En la fotografía había hombres vestidos de torero, payaso, (mortician) no sé como se dice en español.. ![]() Era un artículo muy interesante! ![]()

Thanks for the corrections......so the plural of costumes = disfrades?
![]() In the article they mentioned "el cobrador del frac". Is frac an acronym for something?

Frac is a smart men suit with tails, which is used only in very special occasions. The "cobrador del frac" also uses a top hat. |

@Elaina: "frac" is a tuxedo
@irmamar: you can edit your postings to avoid correcting each time in a new one. ![]()
