Easy Debt Elimination
Posted on | January 30, 2008 | No Comments
I haven’t mentioned this before and I’ve been anxious to let you know about this easy debt elimination method I was told about. I thought I should test it out for myself first, though, so I could give you the low-down on it.
Remember when I mentioned the company that owed us around $2000? Well, it’s $2015 to be exact. We did finally talk with the accounting department about the unpaid invoice and we were told that their books showed it as paid so as far as they were concerned it was closed.
Well, you know I gave that over to the attorney and things are in process but I couldn’t get over the fact that someone at a large corporation, in the accounting department no less, would say that the matter was closed. Hmmmm?
You probably know I’m always looking around and thinking a bit now and then too. I was thinking that I did graduate a while back. Must have been fifteen years or so now; Bachelor’s degree in Business with two years of Accounting.  OK. Let’s be realistic here; things may have a changed a lot.
So here’s what I decided to do. Just to test it out you understand. We opened up Quicken on the home computer and picked three bills. We marked the newspaper subscription as paid, the gas utility bill as paid, and the cell phone bill as paid. Now, we wait.
Now understand that I really was skeptical but hey, one never knows.
I really didn’t think too much about it when the newspaper didn’t show up. Actually, I had forgotten about our test of the accounting system. Second day without a paper. Must have been all the stormy weather. Three … four … Guess we maybe ought to call.
“You didn’t receive payment? Well actually I didn’t send one but I did mark it as paid. Well, I’m sorry but it seems to be working very well for one of the companies I deal with.”
Failure number one.
“Baby, did you see the gas bill this month? It’s a hundred and twenty dollars!” Failure number two.
I just got off the phone with the cell phone company. Nice people. “Oh yes, I paid the bill – it’s right here on the screen. How did I make the payment? How much grace period?”
Now you have to understand that this was a very un-scientific experiment. Uncontrolled is what I think they call it.
Adjective:Â “1. Uncontrolled; Out of control”.
“the greatest uncontrolled problem in the field services business is the mortgage field service companies”; “uncontrolled pandemonium”
Noun:Â pandemonium
1. A state of extreme confusion and disorder
Bingo!
