I skimmed through about 30 pages. I get what you're doing here as I did sub prime lending for a brief period of time so I understand exactly how debt collectors can be. In fact, many debt collectors graduated to sub prime lending so I've heard all the stories.
I know they can be rough. I know they lie. That said, Danny's antics seem over the top since everyone is well-aware the calls are recorded.
Also, this is an incredibly dialogue heavy script, and some of it appears to be a little too much on the nose. It's not bad at time, then it trails off.
I also felt the script took a little long to get going. I'd get to the suicide much quicker.
