I bought a $1000 auto winding Swiss watch when I had more money than sense. Loved it until it broke 5 years later and they quoted me $600 to fix it.

Get a citizens eco drive.


I love my basic one I use for work. I usually grab more expensive ones off Amazon when they are on sale.

I've been wearing my citizen Eco drive for 10 years. Great watch, though the face isn't sapphire so it's got some scratches on it

I have two Eco drives, a "plain" one for work and then a nicer one with the metal band for playing dress up. Good watch. Welp thanks for listening.

Today owns because I got a formal job offer from a dope agency.

I've got one more in the mix. If they make an offer I can choose between whichever is the better deal.

This is a good day.

Also, never call them. Let them call you. Any correspondence you make with them should be via certified mail. Increases your chances of them loving up on FDCPA and you getting to shake the tree.

That law is so full of loopholes that a few of the collections guys we sometimes do work for use it as a punchline. Any business lawyer who isn't a complete gently caress up can talk their way out of the fines therein now days. The better way is just use the state of the debt's and or agency's consumer protection and anti-harassment laws, including filing a restraining order, which can then cause much bigger fines and opens them up to all manner of civil action.

Also, fun tips for you guys to help avoid corporate snoopers and debt collectors probing you too far

Never use the same username for more than 1 site.

When using any social media, lock down your account ASAP

If you notice new followers on social media like twitter, facebook, linkedin, instagram, etc.and you don't know them, just block them. They can use geo-tags on pictures, check ins, etc as a way to track and confirm addresses and phone numbers for the collection agency.

Online dating is a super easy way to trick people in to giving up details, always reverse google or tineye the pictures of any one who starts talking to you

In fact, just don't use social media, not even for family poo poo, just email people like it's 2002 again. That way you have much more control over who can see what.

I don't post this poo poo on Facebook (almost nothing, actually, I like some privacy). This screen name doesn't cross to anything else. Or the nicknames. I doubt they're going to find my complaint here.

But just in case, whip, can you delete that quote?
