|
|
My story begins in the year 2000, I had just graduated at the top of my class from one the best MBA institutes in the world.
I was offered a job in New York which I declined to start my own technology company in February 2000. I was the king on the hill, I had a technology company of my own, it was funded by venture capitalist and soon we had 20 people working the company.
And then came the tech crash! Everyone around me suddenly just woke up and realized that tech was not sexy any more. We had run out of most of the initial funding and the investors decided to stop the funding and hence we closed down the company.
After we closed down the company I went through a period where I racked up $20K or so in credit card debts. I still remember thinking where to eat McDonalds or Taco bell, and then thinking well taco bell is cheaper and with $5 in my pocket to last till I find the next odd job, it better be the cheapest place. Well those were the hard times. I had to go through a lot of struggle. I slept in churches, Salvation Army and on the streets while at the same time looking for a job. One thing didn't stop coming all this time and those were the collection letters in my rented mailbox and the threats on my cell phone from the collection companies.
Finally got myself a job, found out the laws related to the collection agencies and dealt with them with the rules of the game.
I created this website to tell everyone that deal with the creditors and the collection agencies with the rules of the game. Don't be naive when dealing with them.
Remember, when there is no hope. There is hope just around the corner.

When I first got referred to this site, I was kinda uncomfortable to really talk about things that I have been through but then when I started reading the forums I realized ''WOW'' all of these people have been through maybe worse situations than me,and I am not the only one in debt. then I started to open up and realize this is a wonderful place I love coming here.As soon as I get off work everynight I am here I love it! Thanks Denny

Thank you so much to all of you.
It's a nice feeling to stay together and help people in times of need. Moreover, I keep stressing on building this community because we get to share the experiences in our small world. A small help or an option can be meaningful to a person in desperate need.
Your presence is highly appreciated and we hope to continue with the good work.
Thanks once again
Denny
