I am getting innundated by phone and mail for credit offers.
at least 15 calls per day, our friends know to talk to the answering machine as we no longer just pick up.
It is like a fricking invasion.

Now we are getting recorded calls acting like their frineds! Hi Guys This is Mark,..... I'll be in your area bla blka bla. Or "HEY KIDS THE NEW ROCK 98 bla bla.

I dont have a solution to the taped calls yet BUT when it is a live operator and I have time I will listen, and then I will explain what our finances have become over the past several years, How we lost our retirement, insurance, we had sever members of our family move in, their jobs were moved to India.
And how GD awfull the economy is and then I appologize. I am so sorry for anyone who takes a call center job YUCK!

The mail solicitions from Citi, MBNA, Discover , when they include a postage paid envelope, I stuff their no name lit back in and send it to them. At least I feel like they will pay a small price for invading our home with unrequested credit offers.

Some are putting their return address on the back of an offer form that has my info on it. When that is the case I clip out ther adderess and tape it to the window and off it goes.

I am sending 20 to 30 out per week, these credit fuckers think people have money, I sure as crap dont anymore.

No doubt their is a repuke law that states that using their postage paid envelope for non biz is fradulant use of the postal service.

I have also considered using their postage paid env to send my bills to others or personal mailings.

Hell their sending me postage I might as well use it! No?

thats all for this rant anyway.

1. i think there's a 1-800 number you can call to stop the offers
1-888-5-OPTOUT (1-888-567-8688)

i just called it a few weeks ago. got tired of having to take all of the personal information off of 20 or 30 letters a week to recycle the paper!
