Something Versus Nothing
I owe some money to a lender. I also incurred some serious debt when I was unemployed. I made arrangements with this lender to start making regular payments last week. After carefully looking at my expenses, I was able to shake loose $100.00 per month to pay them.
They called back today asking if I had made arrangements to pay them. I explained how much I could afford and don't you know the person was not happy with my arrangements?
"This is not Let's Make a Deal." she said.
"No I realize that, but this is all I can afford right now." I said.
"Its not enough to get you out of delinquency." She said.
"Would you prefer I sent you nothing then?" I asked.
"That's your choice, but this is unacceptable. This is not Let's Make a Deal." Again she reminds me.
"That's fine. Thank you. I'll spend the money elsewhere then." I replied, and hung up.
I can't believe these people! Considering the statistics surrounding how rare it is for them to deal with a debtor who wants to pay them back, they seem to be so ungrateful, it's disheartening!
I am well aware that I am responsible for incurring a debt that must be paid. I am doing everything in my power to pay that debt, but that's not good enough for them. I show a little good faith and they can't even thank me for at least trying to honor my agreement?
I'm going to leave the arrangements in place and see if they're not going to accept them. How much you want to bet they'll take it and shut up (I'm betting $100.00 a month on it)?
Selfish greedy bastards is what they are.
