Yes yes yes...

Never!!!

Not anymore, many of them are now on a first name basis with us.
-
Will be if I loose my job next week. :(
-
about 7 years ago, cuz we didnt pay our taxes for 5 years, and when you own a company, thats a REALLY bad idea! Its all good now though.
-
Well my family did a lot of my life, i've seen our furnature taken away, and 3 cars repossessed from us. Now they're fine, but from these memories i do live in fear i will be in debt.
-
Yes. Then I had to see an attorney. That was during the recession of 1990. Now it's back but not as bad this time. Seems I just can't keep it together. I refuse to live like a miser. Refuse.
-
No thank goodness. and I hope I never do.
-
yeah! that's why I can't live without caller ID
-
i am a debt collector
-
I do..will the government bail me out:):)
-
Never thankfully.
-
Yes, when I first dropped out of college - no job, no job experience, no degree, and $15,000 of debt for one and a half years of private school. It really put a damper on my early 20's but I managed to get things under control - eventually.
-
Yes, it was such a cold and lonely feeling
-
Thankfully, never.
-
No way, I usually pay my bills before they're due!
-
No I try not to owe money to anyone and so far I have been lucky that way! : )
-
No..never. I have never had a check bounce..I have never gotten a call from a bill collector. I don't bite off more than I can chew and I don't obligate myself to things I cannot afford! :)
-
No because I pay my bills
-
This is for "Chingles" you being a debt collector can you tell me how do i get things taken off my credit report that were supposed to be paid by my x-husband (which he had agreed to pay BEFORE the divorce) of course he lied and hasnt paid any monies towards these creditors he is in possession of all the things that were put on MY credit report as being deliquent.....what can i do? and how do i prove that i donot have ANY of the things that are on the report asking me to pay.....please help happilyfreegal
-
well one thing for sure, whether you owe or you don't, one thing a debt collector can't do, is they can't shave your head and send you over sea's.
-
never felt fear, just took couple of them down. i mean come on, u gotta do it the right way. after that, it was ok. i live in attica state prison,NY and never had to pay for anything ever

Many years ago my credit was bad. I had defaulted on a few things when I married and had my first child. I was making very little pay but had three jobs and I just couldn't keep up. For about 6 years I let it slide but ultimately was in a position to be able to afford a house but I had to pay most of it back in order to do so.. None of them ever pestered me. I had moved and they lost contact (this was actually not intentional).
