Damn, and I was going to vote for that guy!
*snickers*
:lol:
The best excuse yet!
Ok... not sure if any of you were aware... which I'm pretty sure none but two were... but I'm a Bounty Hunter! Or as some like to call it... The Evil Debt Collector from HELL!!! *disclaimer* Now before you start throwing tomatoes and what not... just keep in mind that this is my job, not my career... and I don't harass people that are just trying to support themselves and their families. I do have morals!
So anyway... I wanted to share a story with you all. It comes from an article written by one of my coworkers about an excuse made by one of my debtors when he could not make his payment as promised.
Here you go.
'When it comes to excuses as to why customers have not paid, our agents hear it all, but not long ago they received the excuse of all excuses. According to Mr. Norman Jackson of Kansas City, MO, the reason he has not been able to pay off the short-term loan he received a few months earlier is complicated.
It all started after he ran for President- President of the United States of America. No one is quite sure on what ticket he ran. He was not even sure of that detail. What he did know is that acts of treason were commited against him during his campaign, causing him to lose the race.
Were it not for Mr. Jackson and Ralph Nader, this might be a very different country right now.
Like all acts of treason, Mr. Jackson told a baffled collection agent that the mainstream press had covered up the unspeakable things that occured during his campaign, which is why no one knows anything about it. But according to Mr. Jackson, it was pretty bad, horrible, in fact.
But Mr. Jackson promised it would be settled as soon as the ten-year running legal battle against those who wronged him wrapped up. They had until April 2, 2005 to make a public apology, which he expected, along with a $10 million settlement, at which time he would pay off his overdue short-term loan.
Our collection agents are still waiting for their payment.'
LOL... I mean... *giggling*... come on people! If you can't pay your bill... just say so! But I have to admit... if it were not for people like Norman... my job would be unbearable.

Doh, I think I did vote for the guy, or maybe I didn't. You see, my tinfoil hat slipped and I can't think straight, and I'm being followed by strange looking men in black suits who look alot like Keanu Reeves, and... :)

no shit i want discounts! gets out her list.
how much for a sex swing please? with the discount of course!
I used to be a debt collector! i sucked cuz i was too nice and never collected money =( my favorite all time favorite was this one man who told me how he was paying his rent.
Your supossed to ask how he pays hills bills/rent if he says he has no job or any way of making money. (these werent my rules) So upon asking him he said " with gods help." now while that might not seem funn to you all right now, imagen yourself sitting there having a normal conversation with a guy who cant just say -look lady i cant pay you im fn poor- and instead is saying one thing while he credit report is telling me another and it becomes funny.
smart ass that i am, first words out of my mouth were - i wish god would pay my bills- i had to hang up right then cuz the giggles had gotten to me. He statement was silly but automatic answer was ridiculous.
and btw if you have a dyan quinn or dyan griener on file i do plan on paying off my debt once i finish school and get working in the hospital! so couple months ! now dont call me ne'mo!

Yep... Nas' was the friend Geeii was helping out at the porn store. But you did not hear it from me!
Dammit... I did it again... *slaps herself in the head*
As far as being a debt collector, I'm not bad at it, but it makes the job hard when you are trying to be understanding with some of these people and not being a bastard like other collectors. My job makes me lose faith in human kind sometimes... but I try to have a better outlook. *shrugs* I just laugh at the really bad ones! LOL!
