Bad debts

Posted By: Albert on 2006-01-07
In Reply to: Because it is hard work to collect and once you know a company is a bad debt, - You waste twice as much time collecting.

All she really needs to do is send a letter to the Fraud Division of her Attorney General of her state and copy it to the debtor, That will scare the socks off them and they will pay up.

my dear poster. if you want to go around with bad debts and scramble in the mud with them
as for me, i just don't have time for it. you seem to enjoy a good fight and make it seem like there is principle behind it. i find fighting with ignorant people who do not pay their bills a waste of time and energy. it has nothing to do with door mats. it has to do with setting priorities and dealing proven sleazes do not have a priority. you do what you have to do. i choose my battles very carefully and weigh my odds of coming out ahead before i waste my energy. i won't come out ahead chasing a bad debt time-wise or energy-wise.

ps: i think you are a bit defensive with this door mat thing. perhaps you have been burned by life more than i have.
If you don't write bad checks and pay your debts on time it is a non-issue.nm
 
I've taken on lots of odd jobs, even nonMT ones, to pay debts.
I've waitressed for friends with bar/restaurants through the holidays, but not this year. I've been trying to find a weekend MT job or 2 hours per day, but no luck. I've sold stuff on Ebay, too. Do you have a significant other? How many hours are you working versus your SO? Being a Mom is a fulltime job, too.

Lately, I've been doing the ebay thing in the morning before everyone gets up, working my regular shift, then doing my extra job in the evenings and weekends. I definitely feel stressed. It's not enough money quickly enough. Everyone else is fighting for work, too. The house is not as clean as I'd like it. I have to run to the post office and box things up every day, and that's not great money either. The kids are acting up because they always do this time of year and they want more attention. It's all depressing.
