My new fucking job.

Rate this Entry
Fuck me. Started a new job yesterday, at a "debt resolution" company. This place is a joke. I mean, a total fucking scam. People pay them a monthly fee. In return, this company advises them to stop paying their bills and open a savings account. Each month, the client deposits a sum in the account, of which this company takes half as their "service fee". Then, after 70 months, the account should have accumulated a reasonable amount, and the company starts to try to come to settlement arrangements with the creditors. Most of these shmuckls don't even realize that they're supposed to open the account, they think this company fdoes that for them. Or they end up paying the monthly fee, thinking that the company's making payments to their creditors. These people are wrecking their credit, getting sued left and right, having liens filed on their homes, and paying this company for the privelege.

What. The. Fuck?

I feel like a total dick just working in customer service. I've been training for the last 2 days, which means I've just been sitting with this chick and listening to her tell people, very politely, that they're fucked.

I've spent the last 13 months looking for a nice, respectable administrative job. Nobody's biting. It was either take this job or work in collections again, which almost killed me the first time around. Literally.

So here I am. Collecting a paycheck from a company who went to the Joe Francis school of ethics and morals. I feel gross.

    Will they let you smoke pot at work? That would help.

    Hey, where do you work at? Not all settlement companies are a scam, they scam ones came about recently when the mortgage industry fell through, there are maybe one or 2 legitimate ones, you can tell by looking up their BBB rating. This is about to go away because the laws changed and go into effect 10/1/10... they can no longer charge upfront fees by law, probobly your company is just scamming all it can scam in the next week or so... pm me if you want to know more... Ive been doing this since 2003...

    Keep looking, and hopefully it won't be long before you can run like hell into the arms of a better company. At least this takes the stink of unemployment off of you.

    Until then, my sympathies.
