Dear loans. You've been paid off. You're not delinquent. You are NOT delinquent. So dear loan provided why the @!#@#%$#@$%$#^$##$#^$$#^ are you telling me my loans are @#@#ing deliquent?!

EDIT: ahaha freak out over. Everything should really be fine so I'll just give them a call when they're open tomorrow. In the meantime...back to watching the Olympics.

Make sure you have all the documentation.

NEVER send them the originals.

Send it by registered mail so they HAVE to sign for it.

I hope everything will be fine, but it will probably take a whole lot more than just one phone call. And you might have to get a lawyer involved.

Yeah, I've been documenting everything but most of it was supposedly cleared up on the phone today. The consolidation process hinked up the computers. I got the official "hey we paid everything off" letter today but their system is still half wrong. I'm assured that this will clear itself up within two weeks and that my credit score won't be affected by this, but I also got the information on how to fix the credit score if it does get messed up by this. I don't think this is over, but I think it will be okay.

Don't be afraid to rattle a lawyer at them.

BTW, it is illegal to practice law without a license but it is not illegal to impersonate a lawyer. You can make up legal stationary and a legal firm and send them a phony warning letter.

i'm gonna have to reallly disagree on you with this one unless you can cite some sources. printing up fake letterhead for any company for the purpose of dealing with money can be considered fraud, and impersonating a lawyer while sending documents is illegal because it would fall under practicing without a liscence.
the only way you can claim to be a lawyer and not face repercussions is if you give noone any advice whatsoever and make no attempts to mediate any legal matters.

same with impersonating cops, or any governement official. just a bad idea all around

EDIT:
many collections agencies, when you get a lawyer involved, will no longer talk to the client and instead insist on communicating only through lawyer firms. don't shoot yourself in the foot if it's resolved.

Well, the person with the 55% positive rating only has about 18 total feedback, and half of those are as a buyer.

There are two good ratings as a seller, but 7 of the feedbacks are "it's been a month, seller hasn't mailed item yet"

So, yeah... Not buying from that person. Even though I really, really want the doll... I need to slow down on buying stuff this month after all the dolls and figures I bought last week... not to mention the camera...

I've been having computer problems for weeks, my laptop suddenly lost track of my speakers (they're built in! How can they not be installed!), and started taking a <i>really</i> long time to start up, so after trying a bunch of things that didn't work, I ended up going back to factory settings (which fixed the booting problems but I still have no speakers. If that didn't fix the speakers I'm thinking there is no helping that at all). Problem is though, we don't know where the install disk for WordPerfect is (my dad got me started using that in high school and I'm stubborn and never switched to anything else). He told me that OpenOffice would open the .wpd extensions...and it didn't. In fact, it made them display as some kind of OpenOffice 1.1 txt file or something like that, and when I opened them it only showed two or three lines of random symbols. For everything. All of my files. There was panic and beating my chair arms and a few tears.

I uninstalled the program, downloaded and installed a trial copy of the newest version of WordPerfect, and everything was okay again. Aside from how expensive it would be to fully activate it.

So I'm gonna make a second folder with copies in everything in a more common filetype and try to find a new program that will let me do what I need.

And figure out how I can get a new laptop as cheap as possible so that I have speakers again. Holy crap do I miss speakers. Especially since it's not just silence... it's REALLY LOUD FEEDBACK every time the computer tries to make any kind of beep. It's driving my entire family nuts.

And my cellphone's being problematic, too...who do electronics hate me right now? ;_;

Going on a trip tomorrow that can't be worked around and no one at the shelter I volunteer at can or will cover the day.
(so far)
:T

Guess the cats aren't going to get cleaned cages, cleaned litterboxes, and more food and water. Or playtime. Good job group. -_-

If I had a teleporter. IF ONLY.

I'm not going to lie, I'm suspicious that it's because some of them don't like me for putting my foot down when someone tried to say I was lazy (cause I'm not willing to stay from 6am-12pm scrubbing every surface until it shines while also managing the customers that come in and decide my working is a side-show attraction). Cause, you know, I'm just going to lay over and take that.

[Lamia of the Dark]

Cats, I think you mean roll over. Not lay over. /grammar police

MY SUCKY THING: Another lady at work got fired for stealing, so I'm stuck with more hours again..... ugh.....

Not that I don't appreciate having money, it's just that too much work makes me feel like I want to crawl into a hole and die. (Yes, that is a real feeling. It usually comes just before that f***-this-sh**-I-just-don't-give-a-f***-anymore feeling.)

My sucks is also work-related. The special event I had to set up today was a MESS. It took me over 7 hours to reset all the clothing racks and do an inventory count, when it should've only taken me 2, 3 hours tops. It seriously looked like the shipping company had tipped the racks on their sides, then stood them back up and shoved stuff under the cardboard shrouds. Then, on top of that, the new supervisor (position I had before my promotion) has NO idea what she's doing, and I had to do a normal day's work on top of the 7 hours of set up, because I had to do all her work too, while trying to train her on how to do it. Of course the upside to that is my paycheck should be nice.

Uh: you VOLUNTEER. Guess what, I bet there are other places that would LOVE to have a couple of hours of volunteer work, and you will still be helping cats.
