The Credit Card Company Hangs Up In MY Face!

Tweet

Okay, so I got my first credit card a couple of years ago. Everyone was saying that I needed to establish credit and that have no credit was the same as having bad credit. So I fail for it. And like most people, I failed at it. Oddly enough, it was at this point that I started to feel like a real American, I was finally in debt, like almost everyone else. Then, I got an unexpected shock. I was on the internet inquiring about debt management and I saw a story that a person had commited suicide because of debt. Now surely, I had heard this before, but this was the first time it hit home. I thought, no way, not me buddy. So the companies started calling and I was very polite for a while, explaining that I did not have the money and that I would pay them as soon as possible. I finally realized that I was doing all this polite explaining for nothing, because when they got off the phone with me, they would stamp it as refused to pay. So I had had enough of them asking me the same questions and then writing down the same answer as before. To me it did not make any sense to call me everyday, bug me and then write that same thing, so I turned the tables on them. I said, you guys call me every day asking the same questions, I give you the same answers, and you write down the same answers. Do you know what the definition of insanity is? It is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Click. Hello, hello, well I guess they hung up. Now they call me much less. Another thing that they do is call me using an automated service. They say, this is an important call for, and then they say my name, and then tell me to hold on. I don't like being on hold when I call someone, yet they call me and tell me to hold on, yeah right, click.
