The Week Eris Had Lunch at My Restaurant

[fomenter]

i did a similar thing with a debt stuck in my name by a employer, i let it go to collection and when the collection company hit "last straw" and were about to kill my credit rating i sent five dollars as a "good faith payment" and repeated that routine for three months in a row and they eventually took the partial amount settlement i offered, it was a small hit on my credit rating but not as bad as a non payment (i wasn't going to pay a penny more than the absolute minimum on a debt that wasn't mine)

I have never given a shit about my credit rating, and it's never hurt me a bit.

mine is in good shape but i cant tell you what "great things" that does for me  (if any) the ability to get people to give me credit is nice (i guess) but i don't like buying things i cant pay for, maybe it will come in handy if i buy property  but if its anything like buying a car they give credit to anyone willing to sign there name anyway...  

my biggest concern in the above situation was not getting screwed any worse than i already had been, so making five dollar payments and being as difficult as i possibly could payed of in a lower settlement..

Well, if I can nail this job at the MOS, things will be good for a while. Sure it's temporary, but it's a hell of a reference.
