Fuckity Fuck Fuck.
I just got a call from a debt collector who wanted $15K immediately.
Apparently my CC company (MBNA) was taken over by Bank of America, they pulled my account from the company I've been working with through my debt management agency and gave it to someone else *yesterday*.
Yes, that's it. No letter, no warning, ignoring the fact I was paying down my debt.
And the people they got to recover said debt? Call and ask me to pay it all back and when I protest, they ask "So you have no intention of paying this debt?" as if I were a deadbeat.
WTF? No letter, no advance notice of any kind, no acknowledgment of prior agreements?
Oh Daniel, I'm so sorry. Unfortunately, that sounds exactly like many other experiences with debt collectors many of us here have had.

Ahhh, they all want it immediately. Bullying is how they work.

You don't have to give it to them immediately until they take you to court, though. And even then you can often work out a settlement.

Daniel, talk to your debt management agency. They may be able to make a deal for you with the new company.
I ended up raiding a storm at them not providing me any sort of documentation, and referred them to my debt management agent.
Vernor's is the best, least sweet gingerale out there. I like Reed's Ginger Brew better, though because it tastes more like ginger.
waits for ita to post "Vernor's is not gingerale - it's ginger soda."
Unless something's changed recently, Vernors doesn't sell ginger ale. They sell ginger soda. And that drink is noticeably sweeter than Canada Dry, which is about the only ginger ale I drink. The ginger juice and tonic or soda is the brilliantest idea of all time.
