Just a rant.

Sorry, I had to get this off of my chest.

I have been working on a settlement for a client. The client had about $4,000 for a $12,000 account. I have been working with the collector for the last two weeks and finally got them to accept $4,500.
So I call the client Monday and she tells me "Ok, I'll go and get another $500 before the end of the month."
Today she calls back and says "I don't have the money"
I say "No problem, I can get the settlement spread over a few months"
She says "No, I don't have any money"

Turns out, her 'going to get $500' means going to the local Indian Casin0 with her settlement funds...

Nuff Said.

That's what I said!

We have a saying here...

"Can't cure stupid"

I had heard once of a client who came to us because he took his 401k out to spend on lottery tickets to pay off his debts... guess how that one ended...

not sayin anything on that
