You call and get a thimble A lottery for brained ninny whose only . : . It is amazing what will happen if you call someone that is giving you fits, and pretend you are an attorney. The only thing you must remember is never throw fakes and jabs. Lead with everything you got. Keep them off balance. I I don't know if it is legal no am sure that attorney worth his salt would tell you it was. But the results can be My wifefs going to kill me for this one . . . but I got to tell you. There is nothing in the world that warms the cockles of my heart more than a good brawl with a bureaucrat . . . and win. As a. matter of fact, I even enjoy losing, once in a while. Some time ago we got into one with Blue Cross . . . it went on for two whole years! We would write to com- ... so gratifying. I got one going now. Did you ever deal with a credit bureau? Now these people puters, and the computers would write back.. Now computers are smart . . . but they can't reason and you cant reason with them. So this went on and on. The Blue Cross is not paying the doctor's bill and the doctor is saying we owe him money. Finally after reams of paper, and gobs of stamps, we got a call from a collection agency. Now you talk about not being ot . able to reason! I finally got on the phone, and without lettering the person on the other end an I told Blue Cross to get their act straight. (They said the files were purged . . . op-portuni- ty, now that is becoming as much of a great lie as, "the check is in the mail.) I told the collector to got to the Blue Cross, and I told the doctor to go somewhere else ... I did make mention that if I received a call from either one of them again I was prepared to sue for harassment. After two years of this garbage, I figured I had a good case. I also instructed all three that I was to receive no more mail, or phone calls, to refer all mail and calls to attorney so and so. That was six months ago ... 1 have not received a call or any mail, except a note from Blue Cross to say the matter had been taken care of. . I WON!!! have the original red-hpoker. Let me give you some background. We got a pretty good return from the income tax two years ago . . . so we decided to make some double and triple payments. Good thinking, right? Watch. We had one bank, two loans. We paid a huge amount on one loan, thinking we could get rid of one, and pay double on the other. Good thinking, right? Well, they applied the payment to the wronjg loan. We dont know that for a couple of months, just long enough for the bank to notify the Credit Bureau. After several, visits we get that all squared away, but what about the credit rating business? No sweat, they will send a letter and explain it all away. So easy, right? Well, apparently ther eis ome Supersil-liou- s Little Flick at the Credit Bureau who decides he wont believe the bank, rubs his . If hands together and says, "They arent going to get off that easy!
