If This Isn’t News . . . Nothing Is ! ! ! !

Le’t see how far this bit of news goes . . . .

 

The 2/17/11 front page of my local newspaper (Philadelphia Inquirer) had an article on our beloved service provider . . . . ComCast . . .   reported CC’s profits the last quarter . . . . .  profits ( not sales)  . . . . was $1B . . . .  that’s a 1 with mucho zeros . . . .  in just one

quarter . . .

 

There is no Pres/CEO on this planet that can produce those #s without “overcharging” . . . .  you know . .  like the oil companies do ! ! !  cost cutting & technology won’t produce those results . . . . 

 

Yea . .  I know this is America . . .  capitalism rules . . .  but goughing was never a part of the system . . . . .  until today’s capitalist ! ! !

 

We the customer have taken another hit for ComCast ! ! !

 

 

 

 

Caution about disputing account information

Oct 062010
 

I just realized the hard way that disputing an account can backfire and wanted to share it with everyone. I had disputed a late on my oldest and only open CC. I explicitly checked with the CB agent taking down my dispute over the phone that, if they were unable to verify the disputed info within 30 days, they would remove only the late and not the account itself. EX and TU agents assured me that they will not remove the account itself. Don’t believe them! They gleefully resolved the dispute after 30 days by removing the account itself and my score took a huge plunge and I’ve had a frustrating couple months getting the card to report at all again.

 

In my experience, EX and TU seem to consistently remove accounts with unverifiable info, while EQ consistently seems to remove/change the disputed info in the customer’s favor.

Just FYI – TrueCredit Lowered Their Price For Me

Jun 082010
 

I joined TrueCredit for thier trial period and I called today to cancel it.  In order to keep my business, the customer service representative offered to lower the price for me from 14.95 permonth to 8.i95 per month.  I wasn’t planning on staying with them, but for only 1.00 permonth, I get all three credit reports AND all three c redit scores whenever i want to see them. I’m working on rebuilding my credit now so this will come in very handy to me and at 9.95 I don’t think it can be beat.
