“I agree. We are looking for heroes. Keep us updated. I can see you just want to get your rate lowered to 10.99. You have the legal experience and ability to sue which will force them into a cost analysis situation where they will agree to your terms.

Maybe you can do more in your lawsuit to help everyone? Maybe you can turn it into a political career? Obama said he was going to look out for the average citizen and not the corporation and was easily elected. Too bad he was lying or unable. You at least are doing something to fight back and I appreciate it”

“Lucky you. No loss of job, you can pay your bills on time.

this situation is bigger than you sir. This is about our country being hijacked by large multinational corporations and sadly most people can't see beyond their own situation and banks accounts.

What a sad story the history books will say about the USA. Fastest most powerful nation to the fastest hardest fall.”

“The old "personal responsibility" argument. very libertarian

What about credit card companies that get college freshman to sign up and get in debt when they do not even have a job? Who should be personally responsible then?

Before you answer, if you never worked for a bank there are 4 C's of lending: one of them is capacity meaning if you do not have a job and do not have the capacity to pay it back it is wrong to give out that loan.”

“I quit my loss mitigation job with EMC mortgage (parent is JP Morgan Chase) because it is a sad business. The ironic thing is that now JP Morgan is training people in Costa Rica and other places to do the job that I used to do. They always used outsourcing for the paperwork end (I thought most Americans would have liked to known about that outsourcing when we gave them all the $$ for the bailout) but now they are going to start outsourcing the actual phone people (most with years of banking and college degree) These jobs pay 40-70k/yr.

There are going to be no jobs left in this country. Just a few rich people at the top of JP Morgan and their army of workers around the globe. Still we keep electing people who make the situation worse.

“I thought that price was off also. Went to a collective here in CA today and they had a bargain outdoor grown variety for $190/OZ and most everything else ranged $280-$380/oz.

In any case all the prices are way too high because it's not completely legal. I'm guessing that after it becomes completely legal the price will plummet. There are folks getting rich rich rich right now in CA.”

“I don't need to use my imagination. I have no health insurance.

Owning a home means nothing to me. Any roof over my head is a blessing. Could it be that you are too attached to your lifestyle to the point where you can't see that you actually don't NEED a car or house? If you can't see it, visit South America or Africa and you will realize how rich even the poor are in the United States.

Also you seem to have some negative feeling toward declaring bankruptcy. I don't want to be your psychologist but why is that? BK is a good option for many people and very sucessful people like Abe Lincoln and Walt Disney have used that tool in the past. My theory is the wealthy have somehow convinced the regular folk that it is somehow immoral to declare BK but you tell me.”

“It is a good fair question. Many people will not give money so it can be put back into a corrupt system. Food and shelter are one thing. Worrying about a credit report is another. I have asked before but what are the dire consequences of not paying you medical bills and is it possible that paying them just keeps enabling the same system that crested the problem?”

“A lot of us are still hoping for real reform. In the meanwhile, people need help, and that might mean the necessary evil of temporarily giving money to the money-grabbers.”

“And when more and more people don't pay for more and more of these services we will eventually have a real crisis that will bring a change to the system. Apparently, right now is not yet a crisis.

I don't think anyone can argue that if we keep paying, these large bloodsucking corporations will keep taking and wanting more and more. Don't get me wrong, in ten more years they might get OUR government to throw CITIZENS in prison for not paying their bills (prison unions will like it) as they have already gotten the politicians that they own to weaken BK laws.”

“I don't understand your mean attitude toward the family. They may be overvaluing the importance of their credit or they might be misguided in thinking that "the right thing to do" is to pay their bills no matter how they got them. I don't think it is fair to call them grifters or and the other names you called them.

We can have a discussion on the merits of paying bills that help keep current systems in tact, my favorite being credit card issuers that raise your rate for no good reason. ( DON'T PAY!) but there is no need to name call. Jeeze.”

“what is so bad about Bankruptcy? Abe Lincoln and Walt Disney went BK at one point.

People have a abnormal fear of having bad credit. Don't forget a credit report is just a tool. If you are not going to buy on credit, it is a tool you do not need.”

“It's a nasty Catch-22. Now the insurance companies (for life, home, health, auto) check your credit report and base their rates on that . . . call them on it and they'll tell you it's 'risk assessment'. So crappy credit numbers get you higher rates on crappy insurance that will scr3w you when you need it.”

“One thing I am confused about is why they have to pay their medical bills when the only consequence I know of is a "bad" credit report. Would the daughters be denied further help if they don't pay? I would gladly help them to buy food and shelter but to give them money so they can pay further into a system that has gone wrong I would not even do for myself.

I wish this family the best and if someone can explain, I'm sure I am missing something.”

yemaya replied on Oct 15, 2009 at 11:16:53

“ok, sparky here goes my attempt at relieving your confusion: Most people who file for bankruptcy in this country do so because of medical bills. That means that they have exhausted all means of paying these vampires so they can KEEP THEIR HOMES, cars and food on the table. Most of these people have used their credit cards for food and to pay their electric and water bills due to their situation. They have done everything they can to keep going, without having the leeches take their home.

They need their cars to get to dr. appointments, hubby's job, etc... so they still have to pay for gas and insurance on their vehicles. Millions of americans RIGHT NOW, are using their credit cards to get by.

Use your imagination a bit and you'll see that it's really not that hard to imagine being there. Lose your job and insurance and we'll see how far you get. Get an illness that debilitates you or limits your life and then you'll understand.
In the meantime, be grateful and thankful that you are not going thru something like this!”

Appleblossom replied on Oct 15, 2009 at 00:11:09

“Just an FYI so you can understand.

Today was my first time getting a lawsuit for a medical bill going unpaid in the court I work at.
The hospital can sue the family and if they win, with a judgment they can garnish wages, get their assets in a writ of execution, and even have their licenses taken away.

So the consequences can be much worse than just a bad credit report.”

J Q replied on Oct 14, 2009 at 23:36:24

“Bad credit = no student loans for their kid's college.
Bad credit = can't rent an apartment (in some areas/cities).
Bad credit = may deem a person too big of a security risk for some jobs.
Bad credit = no car loan, if you need a car to get to that job.
Bad credit = maybe, getting sued by your creditors.

In this country, it's not nothing.”
