Buble, sign up for the forum and stick around. We are so glad that you found us and are feeling better now. I was seriously on the verge of suicide when I came to this forum, too. It was either that or completely abandon my family and go off I could not have made it were it not for the help of this forum and the wonderful people here especially the first two that came to my rescue, which were 2nband and Leah. Love you guys!I have grown close to a few people on here and I can honestly say you are like family to me and you know who you are. frogpatch, love ya too! Keep it up-you are smart and I really enjoy your posts and your perspective. I have seriously never seen anyone on here to claim to be an expert in anything and I don't like it when someone gets something stuck where the sun doesn't shine and decides to go off in a post where we are trying to give assistance. And tweety I agree, if certain people do not like us trying to help people they should leave this thread. Yes we have an obligation to pay back what we owe but these places also have an obligation to operate within the law and not threaten jail, downloading, etc.

I have tried to register and someone did call me from CCCA but I didn't need their services. I never received a password or anything!

Now, I am going to step outside the box here for a minute. I try to stay out of the bashing as much as I can, but in the months I have been here, I have seen a lot of it. I am going to voice my opinion here, (hope it doesn't get me in trouble or cause anyone to get upset), but the way I see it, everyone on here has something to offer, I don't care if someone has 50 posts or 5000. There is no need for the accusing or name calling or the putdowns. Grant it, no one is going to agree 100% with what everyone is going to say nor is everyone going to like everyone and that is ok. That is what makes the world go round. But the bashing and such is not helping anyone that comes on here looking for help. Grant it, there is always going to be someone that comes on here that wants to rock the boat, so we deal with that an go on. I have enjoyed the time I have spent on here and have enjoyed sharing what I can. I don't do it because of the points or the money, although that is a nice extra, but because I want to help people. I have always enjoyed helping people and through all this process I am learning more and more. Is that not why everyone is here? If something is misquoted, then it needs to be corrected, but not done rudely or anything like that. I am sure all of us agree, if we make a mistake, then by all means let us know. No one is perfect. This site has been a godsend to me and I am so thankful to have found it, so please, let's put the harshness and bashing and stuff like that aside and do what we are here for. OK, I am off my soap box and I truly do apologize if I hurt anyones' feelings or made anyone upset, for that was not my intent.

I will see the poop hit the fan once a certain member reads what I posted,but doggone it I am so tired of seeing people put down and attempts being made to discount their efforts to help people. I came here with no debt problems at all. I was looking for a place where I can help people with their problems and give back to the unfortunate by donating my time here.Half the time my dcc points don't even pay my research bills! I will be here always when I have time and if anyone needs help,just holler!If I don't know something,most of the time I know someone who does.

2nband, very well said. I try not to participate in bashing either but I personally felt attacked yesterday and I just had to speak my mind. I totally agree and I have said it a million times...we ALL have something to offer! We have all had different experiences that makes each one of us unique and with a forum of over 70,000 people we NEED all the experiences of the members here to help the millions of other people that could come here at any given time. I enjoy the time I spend here too and I wouldn't come here if I didn't. I don't do it for the points or anything either but that helps. I just want to give back to the community that literally saved my life and my family. I learn something every day on this forum too from everyone here. Sure, if I make a mistake, tell me. Send me a pm. Post something on my page. Tell me in the thread. But don't do it rudely or make accusations. Say "hey, sassnlucy, are you sure, because this is what I thought." I promise I would be much more receptive. Anytime we feel attacked, it is going to make us go on the offense.

I understand about going on the defense, we all do, but....sometimes it is better to ignore and go on than to lash back out. When we lash back out, what does it do but cause more back and forth and more people getting upset and more hard feelings. I know it is hard to do, but sometimes it is for the best.

I am not fighting with anyone. This is a wonderful forum and I don't know what kind of turn this board has taken that you are referring to. Buble, I am glad that you are legal now. Stick around....we really are nice here!!!

I am done in this thread. I am tired of beating a dead horse. I usually ignore stuff but I have just had enough. I put a lot of time and effort into trying to offer emotional support to people that come here with problems.

Welcome Bublefan!

Paulaw wanted some advice on how to handle the phone calls he has been getting.

Have you explained to your coworkers what's going on? Is it possible for them to just hang up the phone? Have you sent them letters telling them not to call you at work?

Your company can file harrassment charges against them with your local police. I know they won't do much, but sometimes telling them that you've filed charges will get them to stop calling.

Anyone else have any ideas???
