You know, the ones with the "free" (hah!) balance transfer
programs. I've called and asked them to STOP but they persist!!

GD bloodsuckers!!

1. Now that my credit is utterly, hopelessly destroyed
all that bullshit has magically stopped appearing in my mailbox! Is that cool or what? :eyes:

But you know what I did before the *BOOM* fell? Whenever I would get that shit in the mail I would use their little postage paid reply envelope and mail the crap back to them unsigned. Some of these companies I had to do that as many as a dozen times. It cheered me up immensely to think of how much the assholes had to pay for the privilege of harassing me.

3. I called them for the umpteenth time... it wasn't easy not yelling
at them, but then I realised the people answering the phones
aren't the culprits-- it's their greedy bosses.

Anyway, I might try your idea if this route doesn't work! It
hasn't so far!!

4. Didn't think of that. I usually just send it right to the shredder.
Maybe I'll try that next time. :evilgrin:

5. me too
They still send stuff. Not only do I sent the stuff back in their envelopes, I'll add mild steel or junk mail or lead shot to make them pay even more.

The other nice thing about bad credit-it foils identity thieves, for the credit card part anyway.

6. Mail them educational material from DU.
Make that pre-paid postage count.
