Resolved Question: When you were well, and employed, did you ever cut up credit cards,?
(Sun, 15 Aug 2010 22:40:15 GMT)
so you would not use them, leave them at home when you had them, call that number, and say do not me credit offers, more than once?.
Did they keep sending you blank checks which you could just sign and cash.
Did you keep getting credit card offers? Did have work done of
necessity , household repairs, etc., and get over charged you by thousands.?
I think I have accounted for about $8000 so far. Their friends are sitting here, ones who benefitted from my enemies benevolence in the past.
