Excuse given by the mom of a debtor - I don't know why you people won't leave him alone. He was young and foolish and ran up $50,000.00 in debts but, he is now just trying to get on with his life.

The soldiers and sailors act of 1944 protects me from this...... We received an envelope with about 20 coins taped to it.

Thank you for your patience and have a swell day ......... The buyer no longer works for this company and we have no proof that he ever received it..... I was in a coma for the last 10 years. Before that, my house burned down. Now I have no work, no pension, just an application form to work at a collection agency.......

"PLEASE COME AND GET IT THAT WAY I DONT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO BE TOWED!!!!...... I couldn't pay that debt because I had to hire a hitman to take you out...........
I have actually used the "had to fix my car" excuse since I bought a Dodge Neon, worst car on earth... head gasket leaks at 36k, transmission problems at 50k & electrical problem (unknown, dealer couldn't figure it out) at 75K. I think the cars come pre-programmed to have major defects at different intervals in order to make $$ off repairs. My last payment to Chrysler is this month. Yea!
