Hi this is Mary from Equifax. We're just making a courtesy call to let you know that your CreditWatch has expired, and to determine how you would like to renew it". UNBELIEVABLE !!! They DO have one department that works like a charm; BILLING!!! lol
Tell them that you want to sign up for their upcoming Platinum plan as proposed by Sheepshead in the following thread: EQ Creditwatch gold is here !!
OK. I get it. For those out there who may be thread-challenged <g>, here goes: I think I figured it out. EQ floated gold as a trial balloon to gauge the suck factor with a Platinum plan waiting in the wings. Well, my fellow Americans, young and old, rich and poor, weak and strong, I'm here today to tell ya that the suck factor is off the scale! OK, now that that's been decided, how about it, EQ? Roll out the REAL value proposition that we're sure MUST be what's known internally as Platinum. The key word here is VALUE! Now, EQ, get out a pencil and paper and jot this down (I usually charge big bucks for this but I'll provide same for a discount): 1. One pull per 24 hour period. 2. One or two day email notification of changes to our reports. 3. FICO score once every 3 months (I've compromised - I originally thought every 2 months but in every negotiation there's some compromise). 4. Introductory price of $79 annually, followed by $99 annually thereafter. The $20 long-term differential between you and EX's $79 is because EX includes only their FAKO vs. your 4x per year FICO as proposed in the Platinum plan. I'll be forwarding a bill to EQ corporate for consultation regarding this Platinum plan. Please pay late.
"VALUE" PLATINUM I ALREADY SAID I WOULD TAKE WHAT THEY HAD @ $69.95 ONE "NEW" PULL PER DAY EVERY DAY WITH NEW SCORE...I DON'T NEED ANY STINKIN' INSURANCE!!! If the SO-CALLED "INSURANCE" is very expensive...then let me "OPT-OUT" of the "INSURANCE" and get 365 "NEW" PULL WITH SCORE...
One per 24 hours is too STRICT... Try once per day between 00:00:01 and 23:59:59 NY TIME... That way you don't have to write down the time...and you could not even get it 15 min early!!! If you got it at 6:01 am on MONDAY but had to be at work at 5:00 am on TUESDAY you have to wait will you get home and then it is much later... You eventually lose days...SO 365 NEVER HAPPENS...I'm not even sure I did more than 200...
yeah it really f*cking blows that you can only pull once every 24 hours... It should be once ever 20 hours or so like on PG...
Re: Re: Call From Eq !!! Whatever works, GEORGE. You know, I just thought of something. We could market a Platinum product, charge a fee, and provide subscribers to our service with FAKOs, too! Just as useless as the REAL FAKOs! If other FAKOs suck, ours could suck even MORE and that's why we charge more for it! The greater ths suck factor the higher the fee! Yeah, that's the ticket! And we could provide positive and negative factors that are just as meaningless. For example, as a positive factor "your utilization is lower than others in your category (meaning: others who are breathing). And as a negative factor for the same FAKO, "your balances are too high compared to Norwegian elkhounds." Shoot - I think I'm on to something.
Re: Re: Call From Eq !!! Thanks to you sheepshead, I now have a new "favorite phrase"!! I love the "suck factor"...sounds like my credit workings lately!!
Re: Re: Call From Eq !!! "TOO MANY ACCOUNTS WITH BALANCES" DUHH...I owe $120 on each account...10 cards...$1,200...TOTAL LIMITS...$120,000 I'm at 1%
Re: Re: Re: Call From Eq !!! Watch out for those prarie dogs in NM, PSP. Monkey Pox. What next, a cross between SARS and Monkey Pox for those returning from a trip to ASIA and who also have a prarie dog as a pet? Monkey SARS! Just shoot me.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Call From Eq !!! Who has a PRAIRIE DOG AS A PET??? IN CO THEY HAVE "BLACK DEATH" PLAGUE (just a few)...might not be the "BLACK DEATH" version... And if you do...DON'T YOU GIVE IT A FLEA BATH ONCE IN A WHILE...and take it to the vet for shots and a check up???
Re: Re: Re: Re: Call From Eq !!! ROFLMAO!! DH and son went out and blasted a few yesterday afternoon....prairie dog towns on each side of our little community!! A great way to totally waste an afternoon and alot of ammo!!
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Call From Eq !!! CHICAGO (AP) â?? Federal health officials investigating an outbreak of monkeypox that apparently spread from pet prairie dogs to people in three Midwestern states said Monday the number of possible cases has risen to at least 33. So there! Fido (or is it Fico) the prairie dog.
