I HAVE BEEN READYING ALL YOU POSTS PULSE. YOU HAVE A REAL POINT THAT THIS BOARD IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE. I TOOK ADVISE FROM A MEMBER AND WAS BURNED. I HAVE NEVER POSTED SINCE. GO GET THEM GIRL, AND DON'T LET THE OTHER MEMBERS GET YOU DOWN. THEY JUST DON'T LIKE TO HEAR BAD NEWS. THATS WHY THEY ARE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. BAD FINANCIAL MANAGERS. NOW THEY WANT TO BE LAWYERS. IF YOU DO THE CRIME YOU MUST PAY THE TIME 7 YEARS OF HARD TIME JUSTME
Just me- Get real! Read through all of her posts, then make a judgement call. We can not read the minds of other people, or KNOW what their debts are without them telling us. It is ENTIRELY at each person discretion to take the advice they are given or not. It should also be the individuals priority to tell us WHAT the amount in reference is. Personally I don't think Pulse read the FDCPA or FCRA, but alas we will never know.
ITS EASY TO SAY ANOTHER MEMBER DID NOT READ THIS OR DID NOT READ THAT. PULSE EXPLAINED HER FINANCIALS TO US. WE JUST WANT TO PLACE THE BLAIM ON HER NOW. SORRY PULSE YOU DID NOT READ THE ENTIRE FDCPA. FULL OF EXCUSES WE ARE.
I'll tell you who let Pulse down. Pulse did. She jumped into something without knowing what she really was doing. Period. Sure people give advice, good and bad, but in the end it is up to you to make an EDUCATED decision as to how to proceed.
I don't know about you, but I'm here because I had a very sick parent die on me with no life insurance. I had scores near 800 just a few years ago. I was left holding the bag and had to declare BK. I'm sorry to hear you couldn't manage YOUR finances wisely and thus wound up here. I don't recall anyone here ever claiming to be a lawyer - can you show me the post?
Good call, LKH. We can only offer advice, we can't think for people. Until you are paying for this advice, take it or leave it and quit complaining. Furthermore, pulse is the one who started blaming everyone else if I recall correctly - am I mistaken????
Well, I've noticed an influx of newbies but I'm not certain I've noticed the attacking part. I think the influx of newbies is a good thing in general. I'll tell you what I am starting to see and it makes me nervous - CAs appear to be catching on and validating more often.....
I've noticed the same thing. Wouldn't it be funny if one or more collection agencies who monitored this board actually dispatched an employee or two to "participate" as someone who "got burned" and then subsequently warned everyone not to even attempt to exercise their federally guaranteed debtor rights? Now that would be a hoot, wouldn't it? Doc
NEWBIES ATTACKING. THIS IS NOT VERY NICE. THIS IS WHAT I MEAN ABOUT SOME OF THE MEMBERS HERE. VERY NEGITIVE. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A SO CALLED NEWBIE READS THAT COMMENT.
I responded to her post by trying to give her encouragement when it seemed like she was giving up. I wished I could have helped her, but I didn't know how to handle her situation, and couldn't give her an answer.
to JustMe could you please consider reformatting your posts to lower case? uppercase, unless you are George, is usually interpreted as yelling...and I can not see any reason why you would want to be yelling just an observation,
Re: to JustMe DOES GEORGE HAVE THE COPYRIGHT TO UPPER CASE LETTERS ON THIS BOARD. MY CAP LOCK IS BROKEN. SURE HATE TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I SPOKE MY MIND.
Re: to JustMe You're just lashing out at everyone tonight aren't ya? From what I can tell, Maggie politely asked you a simple question. Ya might wanna reach for a Xanax or Prozac right about now
Re: to JustMe as I said, just a suggestion, though I think I mistakenly assumed that you didn't mean to "yell" as long as I'm here second suggestion: consider getting the chip off your shoulder. that suggestion is unrelated to cap lock capability.
Couldn't agree more with LKH. We ask people to give us advice on everything under the sun. In the end - you decide. Justme - what's the deal with lashing out against those who gave the advice? And why all in caps? ADVICE "Opinion about what could or should be done about a situation or problem" (Dictionary.com)
Re: to JustMe oops - didn't read your post about broken cap lock. sorry about the above "why all in caps" remark
Re: to JustMe Actually, yes, George has the copyright for using all caps, as well as, the copyright for the Randon Number Generator. Doc has the copyrights for "Creditnet Vacation" and "Creditnet Suicide". There is also a Pyschdoc's Trick, as well as, Dave's Trick which are trademarked. Am I missing anyone else's copyrights or trademarks? Dani
Re: to JustMe Well, if capslock is broken, cough up the $10-$15 for a cheap new keyboard. Make sure you pay cash as you might have to manage your credit, which we already know you can't do since, according to you, is why people come here......
