I'd pick up in Sebby's situation if I weren't busy, but I'd probably wonder why he didn't schedule the damn thing.
Separate question: AITA or is it a nice, light-hearted moment if I have the associate play "Winner takes it all" as background while we're waiting for callers to assemble on a zoom. Situation is one where we're winning.

I never schedule calls where I'm paying someone. You usually don't have to. Creditors who've been ignored typically jump at the call.
It's not a long enough call for a Zoom, and definitely not something that can be done by email. "I'll get a judgment" vs. "Good luck collecting it" is a not record one wants in print. It's also hard to convey that you're not bluffing, and establish trust, in written text.
I think lots of cases wind up unnecessarily in heated litigation because people don't talk enough these days. I try to force opposing parties to meet in person early on in any large matter where there appears to be considerable acrimony. Trial by meeting. Let everyone air their claims and get an idea of what's going to happen in the case, without it being filtered through lawyers.
