Not unless you want to go to jail. That is the first thing that pops into my mind when I want to beat someone with a steel baseball bat. It is what stops me from whacking the smack out of little wenches that try to run me over with their shopping carts in the store! LOL Really though, it would be a lot of FUN to do it but we can't. I have a nice little phone trick that you can play though. It goes something like this:
The phone rang as I was sitting down to my anticipated evening meal,
and as I answered it I was greeted with, "Is this Karl Brummer?"
Not sounding anything like my name, I asked, "Who is calling?"
The telemarketer said he was with The Rubber Band Powered Freezer
Company or something like that.
Then I asked him if he knew Karl personally, and why was he
calling this number. I then said off to the side, "Get really good
pictures of the body and all the blood," and then turned back to
the phone and advised the caller that he had entered a murder scene
and must stay on the line because we had already traced this call
and he would be receiving a summons to appear in the local courthouse
to testify in this murder case.
I then questioned the caller at great length as to his name,
address, phone number at home, at work, who he worked for,
how he knew the dead guy, and could he prove where he had
been about one hour before he made this call.
The telemarketer was getting very concerned and his answers were
given in a shaky voice. I then told him we had located his position
and that the police were entering the building to take him into custody.
At that point I heard the telephone receiver fall, and the scurrying of
the telemarketer's feet as he was running away.
As I returned to the dinner table, my wife asked me why I had tears
streaming down my face, and so help me, I couldn't tell her for about
fifteen minutes. My meal was cold, but after what I had pulled, it was
the best meal I'd had in a long, long time...
This sounds like FUN!

vanidosa27, there is no time limit for a paid account to stay in your credit report. But, the important thing is that it should present the accurate picture of the account. Is this account reflecting the actual status that it should? If you feel their is a reason to dispute with the CRA, send a letter highlighting the item and request them to update the information.
The CRA will verify the item with your information providers and send you an updated copy of your credit report. Remember to send your letter through certified mail with 'return receipt request'
Do let me when this matter gets resolved.
Regards
Roxette

Vanidosa27, that is hilarious! I was just joshing around about beating the crap out of the Asset Acceptance people. I don't even know where they are. I'm in Pensacola.

Great story, LOL! Sent off validation letter, return receipt requested, two days ago... now I guess it is just wait. Still getting calls regarding the identity theft but that is another story. Would love to try to that trick regarding the murder scene. Ah well, guess it is better to get that matter cleared up even if it means talking a whole lot of truly obnoxious people.

Yeah because if you ever had to go to court or something...and THAT got brought up, I don't think judges have a sense of humor when they are at work lol.

I have all of my letters ready to go. I just have to go to the post office on Monday to get my green card thingy for certified letter. I am going to print up some labels to take with me so I won't have to write all of these addresses down! LOL
By the way, that was not me in the phone call, that was a hilarious joke that someone posted in my college forum.
