If there is one bill you NEVER ignore

Posted By: even if you can't pay, it's your on 2009-02-27
In Reply to: MT Facing foreclosure question - MT

mortgage.  Always, always keep in touch with them even if you don't have the payment.  Your not alone in your dilemma.  The mortage companies have been very flexible and willing to work with payment issues in the past year.  Not sure if the options are still available since they've started foreclosure proceedings, but there are payment plans and now the popular "modification" loans.  Pick up the phone and call them - do it ASAP.  Explain your situation, decreased income, ARM adjustment and see if there is an option to keep you in the home at a payment that is comfortable.  I know many of the lenders are waiting for the exact guidelines on March 4th under the new stimulus plan to come out.  Hopefully this will be the saving grace some are hoping for. 


I wish you luck though, I know you're in a touch situation.  I was there too so can truly sympathize.  My loan is currently pending modification, but I first started with a payment plan.  My fingers and toes are crossed.

I think it's unprofessional not to pay..I simply state, if you don't bill, I bill directly...

This has only happened once, and I had my check cut same day.  This is business and I will not beg someone to give me my money.  I simply stated it as a fact. 


I'll trade you your $88 bill for my $350 bill.
I would love to have such a small bill like that.
ignore them

let's try to ignore them
I for one will no longer open a post that looks like a bash. We have things to work out and I come her to connect, I don't want to waste time with them anymore. I feel badly for the new people who were on this morning, hopefully they will find other means if they don't come back on.
JUST IGNORE HER. She is going
to go on and on and on. She has been talking about this since July 4th. Please give us a break. Not even going to read all of the posts below. She keeps saying the same thing; and if everybody would stop responding, she will just go away. WE GOT YOUR POINT. NOW STOP.
Ignore her. She's obviously new.

Just ignore.....
that one's an obvious troll. Up and down the board slammin everyone. Anyone with a brain can read these posts and see that YOU didn't say plenty, and that she's obviously trying to start a fight. Just ignore...maybe if we don't feed it will leave. Kind of like a stray animal...though I usually feed those (of course they're usually much nicer:)
Ignore her, she is just being a troll!
nn
You are right, I need to ignore it. I just really don't understand
why she is allowed to continue to post. It is so obvious who she is. The same style. Same emothicon used constantly. I need to remember "Do not feed the Troll". LOL.
never ignore your gut feelings
Every time I have ever ignored mine, I have regretted it. This is especially true when it comes to being a mom. Maybe it is mother's intuition or whatever. Kinda like when a kid wants to know why they can't do something...."Because I said so" sounds so lame when you don't really have a reason. However, I've learned the hard way if I feel something is wrong to listen to my inner instinct--it has never been wrong.
I will not ignore her; I will back her up
We can only blame MTs to a point.  It's the owner of the company hiring cheap labor and not caring if they can do the job as long as a good Editor will clean up the mess.  That's the problem.  The boss saving a penny here and there.  It's going to backfire on a lot of them.  Pennywise and pound foolish.
Anyone here ignore the BOS rules?
I find local docs and clinics here in NE do not care about the BOS rules and actually consider some of them "mistakes." They like things done the way they always were. It drives me crazy trying to stick to the "new rules" when even the samples they give me are set up the same way they have been doing things for years. I find they still make sense and cannot get my brain to wrap around doing things differently for each account. I am ready to give up.I was told by an ivy league institution health clinic to do it "their way" which has been in place since the dark ages. Am I alone in this predicament?
Ignore poster below.
She gives the same attitude to everyone who posts looking for a good company.

Sad thing is it's usually new people to the board, and then they think everyone's like that.

You can start by taking a look at the job seeker's board. If you see a company that might fit what you're looking for you can search the archives and get some opinions.

You may have to test with a few companies before you get the actual information, so don't be shy about applying to many.

Tell him to ignore the beeps...sm
I used to use one and had one doctor complain of that constantly.  I was getting the dictation with no problem, so I told him to ignore the beeps and anything else he heard on the line.  Worked out just fine. Hope that helps!
Ignore that message!!!

I got the same thing last week.  I was on the internet and a message came up that looked like it was from Windows (but it  from somewhere on the internet) saying how many trojans and bad stuff I had on my computer.  It's a total crock!!!  If you responded to the message and click ok, you I couldn't say for sure what you are in for.  Someone is trying to get access to your computer.  If you are uneasy about something, listen to that inner voice.  You can always do a check later on your own to verify anything.


If you just had it cleaned up by a professional and have a good firewall and antivirus installed on your computer then don't worry about it if you didn't get curious about the message.  If you did then you might need to check that out.


just ignore the naysayers sm
you are the one making the money and doing the work and only you!  We have all heard this kind of stuff.  Just keep laughing all the way to the bank as you work at home. I am sure most of us who have made it in this business whether with our own accounts or a national (national for me and it can work) have heard all the put downs and negativity.  Just ignore it all. You know what you can and cannot do!  I think a lot of the negativity stems  from jealousy whether admitted or not!
Ignore that post as best you can
I think it's the same 'ethnic' (Indian?) troll that keeps spamming up all the threads trying to antagonize and provoke people. It's all over the main board, company board and MQ board.

Perhaps if we all ignore it, it will float away to whatever continent it came from.
Just ignore it SS, people are going sm
to argue no matter what. I think sometimes folks just get use to living on more and "spend" every dime they make never thinking things might get slow. When it does, then they are hurting. I know, I have been there and to adjust! It can be done. You know the old saying, the more you make, the more you spend?

You are wise not to retire! I see too many people who retire and their brains rot! I think if you can do this as long as you want, at least you know your mind is ok! I don't have to work, but I intend to keep working as long as I can. I have quite a few more years as I am 53 now.

Please ignore the above post. I messed up.
I work as an editor for SS. I had problem getting my lines in every day and for a while was doing 1890+ in 4-5 hours. However, after they changed my pay to w/o spaces at their whim (as I had been paid for spaces for the first 4 months I worked there), I just decided I did not care and I do just enough to get 945 in my 4 hours. They are constantly wanting extra help in editing, which I used to pitch in and help as well, but now I don't simply because of the pay change.
No kidding. Ignore the troll.

I would ignore the request and if they persist
tell them absolutely not!

I would not give any samples of my hard work to anyone.
Just wanted to see how my avatar looks...ignore.


Unless you want to see, too. 


Ignore the typos, I saw them. This isn't work. nm

Just ignore this poster! Obviously staying on
subject and reading comprehension must not be a strong point in their skills list! Of course we all care more about children. This poster just doesn't know how to stay on topic and obviously wants a fight.
ignore this "R" message- not sure how that happened!
crazy day . . .
Please ignore the grammar police - I do! They take away from (sm)
the point here. And, perhaps that is the point. We don't know who these oh-so-correct posters are. Perhaps they're management or ceo's. Distracting us with this nonsense won't help our cause. What is important is to get a consensus and, perhaps, write a petition that all who are willing can sign. If we can do this on-line we can each send to whichever newspaper we choose and forward to our congressmen (and women) and senators. Does anyone here know how to set up a blog in which a petition can be drawn up. Let's use our talents (and our significant others' talents) to make this happen. And, yes, there were incidents a couple of years ago when a disgruntled employee overseas threatened to release patient information. There was nothing that could be done as HIPPA does not apply to off shore companies. I find that fact to be interesting and slightly suspect. It brings to mind lobbyists and makes me wonder "why" the HIPPA laws were written in such a manner. There is quite a lot of info here on that incident. Do a search on "release of patient information" or something like that and it will probably rise to the surface! If we all do what lawyers and pundits call "due diligence" (meaning extensive research) and have a forum on which to share this information we can put together a compelling letter and petition. Keep the conversation going and maybe we will find the right people on this website that can do a portion of what needs to be done, and so on.
Ignore her and she will go away and harrass on another board here . nm

I don't have an answer, but I certainly hope you ignore
the witchy people on here. It's none of their business, they're not as morrally high as they want to let off, and it's the same poster just thinking of new ways to say it. Regardless of what they say, just ignore. Please, please, please ignore. Good luck to you. There's nothing illegal or immoral about it. Basically your hubby would be starting his own business, an MTSO himself. Most bosses at these companies don't do transcription, they simply find the jobs and send them to their MTs. I guarantee they get paid though. So, that's what your hubby would be.
For the most part I totally ignore them. Their
I'm too busy trying to make a living to worry what they may or may not consider to be an 'error'.
If you were that good, you would have no reason to complain about it. Maybe you should just ignore
it, but apparently YOU DO have a problem with editors. If you are that good, maybe you will become an editor and SEE exactly what we are talking about!!
HA! Ignore the signature above - I forgot to change it !!!!

I'd lower it, but I'm a softie at heart so you might want to ignore me. nm

Ignore them - pure ignorance on the subject

Ignore QA long enough and you may find yourself out on your rear.
:+
I had that many times. I just laugh and ignore it. Everyone has bad days! nm

Ya know what, you're allowed a bad day or two. We all are. Ignore all the judgmental SM

"super" women here who act like they've got it all together, never resent anything or anyone, they all make 50,000 or more a year, have the greatest job in the world, perfect husbands, perfect kids, and perfect lives.  They're only fooling themselves.


I feel for you!  And I understand that you don't resent the child you've been "given" but that you love her and you just have days when you feel weighed down and angry.  You do without and give all of yourself to your child and then you get angry when you type reports on self-serving, vain women having their faces lifted or their eyes done as if that is the most important thing in life - looking younger.


I know you love your child.  You don't resent her at all.  You do all you can for her.  You're just having a bad day.  Like I said before, you're allowed a bad day every now again.

The following post has information of the incident mentioned above.  I have edited as it is quite long and placed emphasis in certain areas.  Although it is long please make the effort to read it.

In bad times, people ignore healthcare -
some things you have to have even in bad times, but all the elective stuff which keeps a lot of us going is not being done in this time of crisis. I was typing 50-100 GI procedures a day, now I am typing about 20!

The economic crisis is having a big effect on healthcare - don't kid yourself...

I'm going to write my own letter. Harder to ignore if
thousands of letters, all written differently, still say the same thing. That way they know it's not just a form-letter (like the kind they always send to US.)
Ole Bill for me too...

Believe it or not, my bill was $35.
But then my apartment complex pays for AC and heat - yea!
Bill in NY
The rates in NY have gone up too, but we just paid $175 so I feel very lucky after reading some of the amounts.
$440 last bill

I bill

once a month and pay my MT's once a month. Payable upon receipt. I've only had a few times where the check didn't come but that was a small account at the hospital and the bill was going to the wrong department, etc. As a business owner you should be prepared to have SOME cash flow, just for occurrences such as these. I have had accounts miss a payment but when I send the next month's bill, they paid right away. Then again, there were some months when I forgot to send THEIR bill, so fair enough. I have never really been stiffed.


p.s. a contract is only as good as the two people signing it...


They can. Ignore 'me'. Happy Belated Birthday, Lee!
