I honestly can't help but think that all this collection agency decision making is in response to the health bill passing. Fear of change and the unknown. <br /><br />Dagan and Leah have been able to make payments in the past and I have been making payments for a year now. It may be nothing more than a scare tactic to try to get larger payments? Who knows? I'm going to have to force myself to remember to call today. (Amazing how it slipped right out my ears yesterday--obviously don't want to even think about it--hehe!)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-18472443416722018552010-04-01T08:38:18.334-05:002010-04-01T08:38:18.334-05:00Hi AliceKay,

Things I can put away quickly so the table will be cleared off on Wednesdays when Leah and I start working on the Etsy shop...probably for weeks and weeks--hehe!<br /><br />We had a good time and got quite a few things done. I have to go blog and fill you in--hehe!Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-65855831213416301812010-04-01T08:32:44.450-05:002010-04-01T08:32:44.450-05:00Hi Iggs,

But next week...and every Wednesday till we get caught up. :):)<br /><br />I wouldn't have wanted to break the quarter, either. ;)<br /><br />Sad to think of how I walked and walked--didn't even learn to drive till I was 30. And now I can only do a limited amount of walking and feel like Jabba The Hut! Life changes on a person in big ways sometimes. But I am sure glad I did all that walking while I could. Nothing can ever take away what we have known in our lives...even if we wish something could with parts of it--ROFL!! :):)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-15698741867466778172010-04-01T08:26:16.130-05:002010-04-01T08:26:16.130-05:00Leah,

We all have always made payments, but do have bad credit. Suddenly we are considered delinquent? They cashed our checks last month. So weird. Like I told you last night--talk about mental block--I forgot to call yesterday--ROFL!<br /><br />And--BTW--I do not ever expect you two to pay my bills for me!! Not unless you won the lottery and had millions of dollars...and if I won--you can consider your debts paid, too!! :) LYRitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-10827400444858394032010-04-01T02:19:48.769-05:002010-04-01T02:19:48.769-05:00I'm so sorry that you (& Dagan and Leah) a...I'm so sorry that you (& Dagan and Leah) are being hounded by a collection agencies now, Rita. It seems so unfair when you have been paying a regular amount off the debt. I didn't think they could hound you if you were making an effort to pay. :( Times just seem to get more and more tough financially here too. I'm constantly juggling the money to pay rent, bills and food...and they are talking of rising rents and electricity yet again! It's seems so easy for bureaucrats to make decisions like this and not care how it affects struggling families and pensioners. We are basically told to suck it up. It's okay for them because they are getting the huge salaries and don't have to worry about keeping a roof over their heads. I always say the bureaucrats wouldn't last a week trying to make ends meet on my income and bills. They truly have lost touch with the 'real' people. Try and keep a positive frame of mind and I do hope it all works out for you. xo<br /><br />Such a shame about the flooding in Rhode Island....crazy weather!<br /><br />Btw, thanks for saying such nice things about me. Ditto for you!Serena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-62932321346061908102010-03-31T19:55:35.226-05:002010-03-31T19:55:35.226-05:00That table sure looks different than it did in the...That table sure looks different than it did in the previous post. :) It feels good to have things picked up, doesn't it?<br /><br />I loved seeing Karma enjoying herself looking out thru the window. Kid Channel, eh? LOL You have a very special companion there. :)<br /><br />I don't know why companies have to turn accounts over to collection agencies when people are making an honest effort to pay them back. Makes no sense. We don't do that with our customers. As long as they pay some on their past due balance, we continue sending them feed and keep the business going. I hope things work out for you. Good luck. <br /><br />The pizza story was nice. :)<br /><br />I hope you have a good night with Leah and Dagan tonightAliceKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12027650364526343030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-70269539359743475902010-03-31T19:35:30.300-05:002010-03-31T19:35:30.300-05:00That table and workspace is so clean its toooooo s...That table and workspace is so clean its toooooo shiny!<br /><br />:)<br /><br />That pizza treat story is marvelous! Reminds me of my grandfather who caddied golfers when he was a boy, if he was lucky he'd get a 25 cent tip - and he would walk home instead of taking the street car (which was 5 cents) so he didn't "break" the quarter.<br /><br />I will peek at the esty shop soon - <br />Sigh.. financial woes just suck the life out of one, don't they?Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-78058415062773971192010-03-31T13:58:46.319-05:002010-03-31T13:58:46.319-05:00WOW! That's clean! :D Just wanted to let yo...WOW! That's clean! :D Just wanted to let you know that we have also been sent to a collection agency, got two of them, one last week and one just the other day from Dagan's surgery, and yes, I don't know why the amounts are always changing...One bill we owe this much, and another we owe this much, they are always fluctuating... <br /><br />Basically we have 3 debts, so I don't know if the 3rd one is soon to come or not? There's Children's Heart Clinic, Children's Hospital, and Abbott Northwestern Hospital. We owe each of them at least $500, most more. We tried to work with them, called them, said that we wanted to set up a payment plan, before we've paid as little as $5/month for a few months, then $50/month until it was paid off with no issues, didn't even call them to let them know, just did it. Seemed as long as we sent them something each month they were fine, not anymore(stupid recession). <br /><br />We will use our tax rebate to pay off as much as we can, but didn't get much back this year, so we may be able to pay off two of them if we're lucky and use what we were going to put in our emergency fund next month for them as well. Since we no longer have any credit cards and aren't going to get any, we have started an emergency fund for ourselves and are forcing ourselves to put the same amount in each month no matter what, though we may need to make an exception for this, we'll see. <br /><br />Anyway, I wish we could help you Rita, but we're all in the same boat here... I guess these collection agencies will just have to be patient with us huh? :) <br /><br />Anyway, on a lighter note, we'll see you tonight. :D <br /><br />Thank you kinly, <br />LeahLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15068332061543585861noreply@blogger.com
