I am so angry and scared and frustrated that I am making myself sick right now.
I have complained here before about having no money many many times. The first Mrs. Giant Robot left me with much debt and a credit rating in a shambles. I couldn't even get a loan to buy a cup of coffee. I have worked many years paying everybody off, settling all the accounts, and basically scrimping and saving so I could eat and pay rent. As of May, I will have paid off all the debt and I would have been debt free for the first time in God knows how long. Well aside from some recent medical bills but that's another matter.
But no.
I had a Discover card. Don't ever get one. I took a settlement offer from them to the tune of $1400, saving actually $1100. I figured that was over and done with then. No. To me it looks like they sold off that remaining $1100 as bad debt to some other company, who has been hounding me every so often. They are taking up matters in earnest now, saying I owe them $2100 after interest and penalties and shit. And Thursday night I got served with papers saying they are suing me for it. They are saying that Discover had no legal right to settle the account when they did. But if they didn't, why did they only sell of part of the debt? I have sent them several copies of the settlement letter that Discover sent to me. Apparently this all doesn't matter. I may as well have declared bankruptcy to fuck all of them instead of trying to do what I thought would be the right thing and pay everyone something. No. Fuck them all now. I don't know what to do, I don't know if they are just trying to shake me down, I don't know if Discover screwed me to begin with. I am tired of this. Why won't this just all go away!!!
