  1. So i have this credit card from high school with a 500 limite that obviously i was stupid with maxed it and pretty much just said screw it. Fast forward to 10 years later they went into my bank account, froze the account, and now they are pretty much taking everything out of the account. I looked online and it says they have can do this in some cases but is there anything i can do? i mean dont they have to give notice that somehing like this is going to happen? Its probably peanuts to you guys but it was literally like all the money i had at the moment. I called the company and their like ur moneys gone (1800) and you still owe us 600 more, i literally felt like i was going to puke.

    My bank is keeping the money in the account for 10 days in case i want to dispute it, is there anyway i can actually dispute it or get around this? So sick over it right now

    Any legal advice/help would be greatly appreciated.

  2. I mean that sucks but no offense what you did was pretty much stealing, so you kind of deserve whatever you get.
  3. highly doubt you will be getting any sympathy. as someone who always pays what he owes and pays on time. you got what you deserved
  4. ugh. brutal.

    In college I went to the hospital for something...like 8 years later I saw I had like $900 taken from my CitiBank account....they finally got their money, lol...kinda same situation almost.
  5. You should have paid your bill you scumbag. /moral high horse

    However, there are statute of limitations for everything, typically 5-7 years in terms of credit cards. They can not legally collect after that time frame and if they are doing so now you should dispute the charges, and if they so wish to collect have them sue you, at which point they'll have to send you a statement of what's owed and you can proceed from there. The only way they can do this is if they have already received a judgment against you.

    Cliffs: tell them to fuck off.

  6. I think you lost most of OT with your rowdy golfing story.
  7. Apparently they have already took it to court. Shouldnt i have been notified of said court date so i could of at least worked out some sort of payment plan? This was literally out of left field without any kind of notice or anything.

    Ask for the case number then search for it. It should be public record. If you can't find such a case they are full of shit. Also, a constable would have had to show up at your place of residence to have you served.

  9. They probably gave you 10 years worth of notice. I doubt they (the C/C company) stopped trying to contact you, if they did they most certainly turned you over to a collection agency (who would've hounded you). I'm honestly surprised how stupid you are in this situation. You didn't honestly believe the C/C company would just forgive the debt did you (unless you declared bankruptcy)? I guess I would try a debt consolidation place and see if they can help you out. I think you're fucked and feel zero sympathy for you.
  10. your "notice" was when you signed the contract saying that you will pay them what you owe. i'm SURE that somewhere in fine print it said that they can do exactly what the did. unfortunately, "i said screw it" is not an acceptable excuse to most credit agencies. you be fked.
     
  11. those dudes from the golf course looked into your shit man, now they are having the last laugh

    So he disputes, they sue, he pays anyway. Gotcha. At least he'll be prepared I guess. Sucks he'll have to pay for a lawyer as well.

    Um You Borrowed Money and spent it Ten years Ago and never paid them back ? And now you're Upset they finally came and collected HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.. And the part about the Notice ??? You're telling me they never contacted you one time in that ten year span saying they want their monies ??? I'm pretty sure they gave you much Noticed .. LOL at that $500 now being like $2,400 I feel for ya man .. But You played and now you have to pay .. Think about it .. had you paid that off a long time ago you would not be in this mess .. I can see how you want to turn the blame on them .. But that does not work in this instance .. good luck bro ..
  14. I get it, you all hate to drink/have a good time golfing. I guess i forgot to mention during that golf story that they were smoking weed all over the course. I mean if you want to do it discretely thats fine i could care less but they were doing it while other groups were around as if it was acceptable. Was almost to the point where i didnt even want to golf with them in fear that someone might turn them in and have the cops come.

    LOL at me blaming them or looking for sympathy from OT of all places. I know i was stupid about it but am wondering is theres anyway around it or if they can actually legally do what they are doing

    Uh, given the statute if they sue now they wouldn't have a foot to stand on. Unless at some point in the past 3-5 years after the statute has expired he said he would pay.
  18. Steal, golf slow and now sound anti-weed. You sure know how to sweet talk OT. Maybe someone will give you advice in about 10 years or so. I hope they at least notify you so you know they're gonna give you advice.
  19. no golf course is calling the cops on some guys smoking weed. its private property. the worst they would do is kick the weed smokers out and thats only if you are dumb/unlucky enough to be blazing while a ranger is close

    Dude. Do you honestly think the company isn't well aware of what they can and can't do? I mean, I guess technically they could just know and say fk it lets take this guys money anyway, maybe he won't say anything....but i doubt it.

    Predatory lenders though.

    We'd have to know the initial creditor and then the name of the current collector.

    So if you could care less, why don't you??
  25. Well first off its illegal. Theres also a bunch of old ppl around who im positive could smell it and dont want to be affiliated with it. To me its not a big deal you can do whatever you want but that doesnt mean the old group or the father teaching his kids how to golf are going to have the same care free attitude about it as me.

  26. I smoke weed from the first tee to the 18th green everytime I golf never even been bothered once about it. I get fucking hammered on the course sometimes as well but have never displayed the lack of care for for the course or flat out juvenile behaviour you and your boys showed on that sad summer day

    In case anyone didnt see

Quick sidenote, we like to get as rediculously drunk as possible out on the course, shotgunning beers after everyhole, ripping shots from the cart skank, just generally having a good time and what i feel golf should be, having FUN. Somehow we randomly get paired up with a couple of Clays/lvpokerealers friends who ive met before and think sweet this is going to be awesome, NOT. Everyone out on the course is getting fucking shitfaced keep in mind, i saw some dudes shotgunning beers outside in the parking lot when i first pulled up then hop in their car and drive away lol, knew it was going to be an awesome day/ freeforall. They get all bent out of shape after like 5 holes in and are being super gay, not drinking, anti social , and pretty much think that their on the final 9 of the masters. They both sucked but were so dead serious like they were shooting for a green jacket it was pretty comical. Anywho, they dont wanna drink and they hate fun but thats their thing no big deal, i mean whatever it sucks they can do what they want but whatever im not gonna let it fuck my time up. Fast forward to like the 9th hole where their like you guys suck, you're taking too long blah blah( i should mention neither of us had golfed in 4 years) and are just like we're out of here we're going to play ahead?????? I mean really how fucking gay is that? I could see if they were good but they were fucking awful, if it hadnt been my first time playing in 4 years and we werent trying to fuck the sweaty cart whore.

    Then i get this gem text from clay the next day " they said your etiquette was horrible" LOLOLOLOOLOLOL. Didnt realize i was at a 19th century french royal dinner and that my etiquette was just so foul lol.

    Not really sure where im even going with this but just thought it was awesome, the text was just so LOLOL its hilarious on soooo many levels.

  27. I just don't understand why, if you could care less, you don't just go ahead and care less.
  28. They can't take your money w/o a court order so there must be more to this.
  29. lol will you please stop hijacking your own thread? i know the embarrassment may be too much to take, just let it run its course.
