god damn I fucking hate lawyers and debt collectors.
Soooo...shit happens. Wasn't able to work for awhile because of injury. Credit card debt racks up, y'know blah blah the usual shit. Sucked cause I had AAA credit till this point.
Course I was younger and stupid so didn't know what else I could do about it. But, finally get on my feet, get a job, got money coming in and could do something about it but the interest and whatnot that had acrued screwed me on being able to afford it. So Ok. I try to work things out. One company in particular won't even return my calls, or even a fax I had a lawyer send them.
yaawn...so fast forward to tonight. I had been talking to a lawyer about just declaring bankruptcy and building anew. Well I get a call today from a debt collector. Of course from the company that wouldn't return my calls or anything. Ok whatever so I call him back and he ends up not being available at the time so I'm stuck talking to this guys lacky.
He starts telling me about how they have to move on this claim and whatnot..blah blah. I tell him that I will have to get my lawyer to contact them because I'm in midst of bankruptcy...he starts pushing saying they have to know something "tonight" and want my lawyers name and number. I didn't have it available at hand so I told him I would get it and call him back shortly. He get's rude asking me "well how soon is shortly" really pushing. Well at this point with him and his attitude and pressuring me I snapped. I admit I started cussing and got an attitude back at him. He raises his voice and argues with me. Which I can handle. But then he starts to insult me. Telling me I'm "hiding" behind the bankruptcy like "a rabbit" and just being demeaning. Of course this pissed me off more. And I'm like "Dude you don't even know me how dare you.." and he cuts me off telling me to "get the number and call us back"..and click..he hung up.
So I get the info and go to call back. This time I wasn't even going to talk to this guy and if he answered tell him I wanted to talk to the guy (lawyer I guess) who originally called me or not at all. But I get the guy I'm looking for and give him the information.
Well I get a call back in about 15 minutes from the same guy saying when he talked to my Lawyer she said that as far as she knew I wasn't planning on filing and whatnot
Well I got hooked up with this lawyer through my mother who works for one herself. So she gave me the name of someone she knew to work with who would do this whole thing at a reasonable price. Well with talking to her she never got my lastname just my first. So when the guy called her she didn't recognize that at all.
Simple mistake, understandable. But it just added to the night.
I'm still pissed about that guy. Arguing with me is one thing, insulting me is another. Those fuckers can't seem to realize that sometimes honest people get a bum deal. It wasn't like I charged shit out my ass and am just doing this as an easy way out. I worked hard to get my credit built up and stayed faithful to it. But because of being out of work, and then coupled with this same company not returning my calls so I kinda ran out of other options I'm almsot forced to do this. But he wants to talk down to me like I'm some low-life dead-beat fuck that is worming his way out of debt.
Whatever...
and after staring at my profile pic all this time, I've realized how much I hate the picture..I look like a moron in it
I must update it soon.
On a better side my new tattoo is almost done healing. But some of the scabs came off a bit too soon and I think I'm going to have to have it touched up some. Both my last ones had to be and I was hoping I could keep this one from. But oh well, it's the largest of the three and healed the best. But there's still a spot or two that could use touch-up. Just not looking forward to having to baby my forearm again. I spend most of my time at my job in crawl-spaces and attics...so it's hard to keep it uncovered, yet sanitary, and not have shit happen to it (bumps, getting wet, etc). Just glad it's winter..My last tattoo stained my work shirt because I was up in a 115 degree attic for over an hour and came down absolutely drenched..needless to say it had to be touched up.
anyway I'm starting to ramble so...I guess my first entry is done. What a fuckin night.
