I have seen alot of newbies with alot of good questions about their current credit repair or rebuilding situations lately. Alot of these questions have gone down without any response or have just been ignored. There are alot of VETS that are members of this site that do not respond to these situations or questions to help these people. The simple post of just do a search does not answer anyones specific question or situation. I am sure these questions have been asked by so many vets that they are sick of it and just say do a search. I will be here for years to respond to alot of newbie questions. I hope you VETS have not thought that you have gone beyond this by saying just do search! I have been waiting for a VET to tell me I am wrong for the advise I have givin others. The newbie gets great advise after I have been proven wrong. I can only answer rebuilding, disputes, the SOL, and what I have been threw. Along with CA problems. Where are the VETS lately? I can answer almost any question that someone asks! I am only 2 years out of BK and credit repair, and rebuiding. I still turn here looking for help from the VETS but try to help the newbies. Have I become a VET willing to deal with newbie questions? I like to be proven wrong with newbie questions by a VET! The newbie gets great advise after that! #1 Would you consider me a trusted vet? #2 Is that what this site is coming to? #3 I love to be picked apart and proven wrong the newbie and myself gain knowledge from it! #4 The help here with newbies latley sucks. Ego seems to be more important! Tell me I am a dumb newbie or I have no clue! My ego is way less important than what is going on currently with newbie questions and repair! Am I a newbie or a expert? I do mean well helping others and have alot of questions to learn from! Where is the expert advise lately?
I've been around here awhile, but don't consider myself a vet I was answering lots of questions to the best of my abilities, but I mentioned in a post the other day, I'm no longer a stay at home Mom. I went back to work to further advance my credit repair. I try to get on every morning, but sometimes I just have time to go thru the -0- response posts to see if maybe I can help. Maybe others are getting busy as well? My email is and has always been on.
NOBODY is PAID to answer questions here...24/7 I don't know much about "BADDIES" because I never had any... I assume people have to go to work or school or watch TV...LIKE I WILL GO TO WORK IN A FEW MIN FOR A 8-12 HOUR DAY (me closer to 12)
George is right nobody gets a check and a lot of good people give plenty of time........ not much else to say .....
Thanks for this post. I wanted to see something like this written. I too, feel like over the last few days, my questions to some important issues were ignored. I don't like to complain and so I won't. SnakeMan
I am FARRRRRRRRRRRRRR from an expert. What I do know is this - There are times when I leave job #1 - to go home to job #2 (house and family). Somewhere during the evening, on my breaks from job #2 (cooking, cleaning, homework help, etc.....) I find a few minutes here and there to tackle job #3 - CREDIT CLEANUP! For those of you who don't think it takes up as much time as a job, consider yourself lucky. There are times when I have a few minutes to spend on job #3, and approach it thinking I know where I'm going, and I know what the next step is, only to open yet another piece of mail, or pull another CR, and feel like someone just stole my road map!! In a rushed panic, I start with the "search". There is ssssooooooooooooo much information and so little time, one of two things happen - 1. I get sidetracked on the search finding new information that I feel will be useful in the future. 2. I get frustrated and post. Sometimes the posts are answered, sometimes they are not. Most of the time, I am really just looking for a bit of reassurance, a push in the right direction, or just need to vent. Is it anyone else's job to do that? - NO, it's not. Is it appreciated when someone else takes a few minutes of their already limited time to respond, By all means, YES! I believe that everyone here helps out when they can. Thank you to all. Without you, in 30 days I would have screwed up even more of what took me 6 years to screw up to begin with.
I try to do what I can. I have to sit for a HUGE Exam Thursday, so needless to say I'm swamped until then. But I'll be back.
This was a bad post by me and it should have been worded different in the general discussion or feedback area. SORRY, I was by no means calling any individual out either! Yes I know everyone has a life outside of the cyberworld including myself. And of course the advise here is what you pay for. Free advise from a internet expert on someones personal situation that is completely different from anyone elses. I guess I was not happy to see 4 straight days of alot of questions that had ZERO responses with ALOT of views. The member number here is over 8000. I would say over 2000 members are more capable of giving any kind of advise than I am. I actually went though alot of the unanswered questions and felt like I could have helped or at least gave some direction on all of those. jlynn, GEORGE, and BUTCH. You 3 have spent way 2 much time helping others here lately. Please take a break! I think you guys kind of understand what I am saying here. GEORGE, never has had a bad one EVER but knows more about bad credit than I do, and ALWAYS gives some direction here when he can. Maybe I just feel that some here with about the same knowledge I have are afraid to help newbies because they will be jumped on by some VETS with better information. I was surprised latley with the amount of views but no responses. The Vets here are the ones that make this site as strong as it is. 3 short sentences would usually do the trick to alot of these unanswered posts. I want to be a newbie here as long as possible. I also ask questions here but I realize the advise is free. The best advise I have ever received here has been from GEORGE who has never had a bad account! I would just like to see others that have been through what I have, give a little bit more and not be afraid of giving bad advise. ITS FREE!, I like to be proven wrong and learn from it! snakeman, Is this what you were looking for also?
Re: Where R the experts lately? Am I tend to reply on areas I'm familiar with - Ch7 BK, IRS/tax issues and some general stuff. I think it's important to give back where one can. I'm getting a lot from the shared wisdom (and foolishness here and I'd like to help where I can.
I agree. With work and home and an organization that I volunteer for (and may spend as much as 20 hours a week on sometimes), I post as much as I can. I have never had a BK, and so I don't feel comfortable answering BK questions, just give my opinion when people are considering it. I have a finance background and try to help out on budgets, some tax questions, etc, I think a lot of us look at posts and know it's not our area of expertise, so we go on to something else (and maybe hope someone will post so we learn).
