Trilliums

Evening, all - Currently an attorney's office (will remain unnamed, but they do not mess around) has a couple of collections placed with them via Asset Acceptance. Atty office is playing hardball on settlement, pre-suit. Does anyone know, or has anyone had experience with seeing if contacting Asset directly to recall the collections is a possibility. I'd sure rather deal directly with them and settle this stuff and get rid of this Atty. Thanks everyone Trils

I've been researching the Chapter 128 plan in WI, but a question has come up. For example, on a charged off credited card with a sample balance of 10K, can the debtor negotiate with the CC company for a settlement amount, and then add that settlement amount to the 128 plan? Was looking online to see if this type of negotiated settlement could be done. And, if so, then file the 128? ETA: Can a Mod please move this over to the BK forum. Just realized this may not be in the right spot. Thanks for all input, Trils

I have experience working the entire SDLC. I have participated in gathering existing business data flows, software requirements, documentation, flow-charting, building both the database and GUI, testing and de-bugging, implementation training and training documentation. I have utilized VB 6.0, SQL server, MS access, MS Excel and Crystal reports to develop the software or automation needs of the client. I have utilized MS Project for tracking project process and MS Visio for creating work, data and software flow charts as required by the specific project. <<<<< Also, I have been moonlighting and doing small MS Excel automation and application projects on the side. Should I list these on my resume? And if so, How? ----------- Try something like this, hope it isn't too late to submit. You need to shore-up into a brief synopsis: Tenured professional, versed in SDLC, data flow, end-end software, M&P (methods & procedures) associated to database, GUI, test/debug, training and full-scale implementation. Solid working knowledge with respect to VB 6.0, SQL, MS Suite of products, automation, needs assessment and customized business plans of client base. Play around with the words, this is what jumps out at me. Hope this helps and goooooood luck!!

They'll be a special punishment in hell for this scum & what he did to his kid, as reporting on CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/25/kidney.fugitive/index.html

Depending on the hour or day, I think I am all of these LOL !

I'm asking the same ? as the OP. From searches, it appears Ms. Dimarco is no longer at CSC. Anyone have a more recent contact for CSC Legal? TIA! - Trils

Good luck and sending positive thoughts!

I just did one via email, and in that email not only thanked them for their time, but in essence, respectfully requested and welcomed their serious consideration to be considered as the final candidate for the position. Don't be afraid to ask for the job! My agony is over. I did get the job and start in May. Go for it!

WOW thanks everyone! I had some personal docs on my work PC - nothing illegal or naughty!

I freely admit I am a PC dumbbell so I'm asking. Let's say you delete stuff from MS Word, it goes to the Recycle Bin, then you empty that. Is that the end of it, or is this stuff still buried somewhere on the hard drive - and if so, how do 'yall get rid of it? Appreciate help and thanks! -Trils

I've received an application for the place I've been interviewing with, and they included a sheet to sign for drug test and credit/background checks. Set me straight on this - isn't this stuff done after an offer is made and not before? ETA: Have not received an offer yet, verbal or written!

Folks, thanks again for all of the good karma sent my way regarding this topic. The job I have been interviewing for continues. Last week, I met with the manager at his office for about an hour and a half. I have a phone interview with an internal person coming up that supervises this same position in another area of the company. Keeping all fingers and toes crossed that this progresses to an offer. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee! -Trils

Am I understanding that this is the same JDB that pushed this issue to a lawfirm? After they sent you a letter saying they were sending it back to the OC & "closed it on their end" No - not the same JDB or account. This is for a charged off CC, approx 1K at time of chargeoff, and I have documented 5 violations so far with all of the passing around being done. It's the 2nd CA that advised they were closing out their attempts to collect, and I can only assume at that point they sent it back to the JDB - who now in turn engaged the local law firm for round 3 of this.

Thanks - I have that link saved too (linky below - debts being passed around) since this nonsense came around with the 2nd CA. But now the 3rd demand arrived and this is a true law firm, and I do not wanna tango with them. http://creditboards.com/forums/index.php?s...mp;&do=findComment&comment=918423 What is so frustrating about this is, it is the same JDB (CollxxxAmerixx, CACx in CO) fanning this out to their "franchises", and the first two DV's, well, ... DV #1 went unanswered, DV #2 advised they were closing it out, with no further attempts to collect by their office. Nothing further in over a year from anyone until last week. Good point on not mentioning the different $$ amounts they wanna collect on. I've dealt with this current lawfirm (3rd holder of the alleged debt) before and they will sue quickly, no ?'s asked, and give no time to respond to whatever they would send over as "validation". That's where I need some input on if I should go directly to the high 'n' mighty JDB and shove all of the paper trail in their face, and again DV, CMRR of course! Thanks & appreciate all input/advice.

Thanks a mil! The first 2-CA's are "franchise offices" of the JDB. The lawfirm that now has this is a real lawfirm and they do not screw around. And my bet is, the JDB has not mentioned the first 2-CA's (ya like they would!) Just tossing some ideas around in my addled brain about this and welcome additional suggestions but my first thought was of the 1-2 punch sort. By that, DV the JDB, attach all the paper trail, list the violations, copy the current lawfirm, send CMRRR to the JDB, wait for them to sign, then dispute with the CRA's. Way or not way to go?
