    Collections & Credit Rating

    in General Chat - Not Fishing Related (NFR)

    Posted

    Gang,

     

    Was speaking to a buddy last night... He quit his job in the summer to take another one and his former employer ended up over paying him ~ $220 (something related to accruded vacation). Anyway, he's refused to pay becuase it's totally silly and it wasn't his fault they over payed him... Nonetheless, it has gone to "collections"... Does this in fact effect his "credit rating"? If so how? My thought was that it shouldn't b/c it is not "credit" related (not like defalting on a loan or missing a credit card payment, etc.). We have a DQ Blizzard riding on this!

     

    Thanks,

    Short answer...no.

     

    Credit bureau reports on debts - Credit cards, quick cash loans etc. A clerical error will not show.

    I'm at an end point myself regarding this topic.

     

    I am not a climatologist; but I know dozens of people personally who work in not-for-profit scientific research. In my experience they don't lie.

     

    Sun, you work in the oil industry. Your entire career is a carbon footprint. Even if the science was 110% irrefutable you wouldn't accept it; it's a threat to you and yours.

     

    That's the real issue. A few generations will deplete the world of a major source of it's resources. What about future generations......right, they'll have renewable energy technologies, and the climate will be warmer and better (if you live in a thin band in the temperate zone).

     

    I would prefer my off-spring with a stable safe climate and environment, access to a reasonable amount of resources’ so they can build things, and respect for other groups of people around the world and the effect their lives have on others. To me the latter is a better option than to leave them with an inheritance of a big bank account because I raped and pillaged the planet, a climate damaged because I and others chose to deny science, and disrespect for other groups of people world-wide because of my stubborn self-centered attitude.

     

    How about this Sun....you make a list of all the Glaciers that are growing (not advancing..growing). I'll make a list of all of the Glaciers that are shrinking. Whoever has the most points wins.

     

    Forget it...

    I'll just post the link. And you can tell me how this is a lie, a conspiracy, and there are hacked Emails to prove it.

    See ya later guys, I'm off to the misty mountains for a few days.

     

    Hahaha...I didn't even read the thread. Skipped right to the end, found this and agree whole heartedly. You sum it up very well SL :goldenstar: .

     

    Thanks for the Led Zep reminder...loading up Goin' to Calfornia right now.

     

    P.S. - I haven't found any posts from Fffwx in here but I'm pretty sure I disagree with what ever he is trying to say.

    Ya, they were on to something with the FJ

     

    Here is my fishing buggy. I do need to grind some rust off it and give her some 'primer n black' every couple years. I like to buy vehicles about 3years old and run them into the ground...lol.. I do like the Jeep but they aren't the most comfortable ride available. Still, for the few times I've found myself needing to use it, the 4x4 capabilities are excellent.
