I guess I was naive to think that once you make a deal with a debt collection company, and they start taking your money, and then they start taking even more of your money, they’ll leave you alone. Apparently not.
Just as I was pulling out of the alley to go to work, I got a call from the old 416. Naturally, this is a really bad time to answer a phone, so I didn’t. The message left on my voicemail? This is an urgent matter, contact us immediately, and then the lovely recording threatening to take further action if I don’t contact them. It’s as if I’ve been ignoring them or something, and they just got my account two weeks ago. Or something.
We’ll see if they call back tomorrow at a better time and what they have to say. They’re not getting any more money out of me any time soon.
In other news, I finally heard back from the investor. He wants the entire amount in one single payment, and told me to “take my time.” I guess he forgot that he’s already given me several years.
P.S. It now costs $78 to fill up the truck (an spill some on the ground while I’m at it). Learned that by, well, filling up the truck. 
Thinking maybe I need to throw a couple bucks in to a jar for every 10 miles I put on it so it doesn’t hurt so much.

Looking at your graphs on the side bar, I think you are doing amazingly well!
Are you making any extra money on the internet? Just curious, because I have been doing stupid things like MyPoints and receiving GAS cards for BP. Even if you only got 1 every 3 months, it would be a help.
On my other blog 2 nickels making a dollar I track my little income producers. Not making huge money, but trying to bring in an extra $100 a month to build savings/pay down debt.
The only money I’m making right now is ads right here on Debt Sucks. I’ve done a lot of other things online in the past… several businesses included (hence the investor debt), but those industries I was focused on have been drying up. The one that I was actually making a decent amount of money on, I had to shut down through the sheer stupidity of not filing a key tax form with one of my vendors on time.
Or get rid of the truck and buy something more economical.
Dude, debt collectors suck. Tell him you are going to cut his skin off and wear it next time he bothers you…. that should freak him out plenty.
On a side note, I added you to my blogroll… sorry it took so long.
