My Financial Recovery

News From The State Attorney General

Posted on: September 26, 2008 by Matt 1 Comment

One of the action items I have taken in order to get my problem loans in collection cleaned up was to write my state attorney general’s office and ask what my rights I have to get information from the collection agency.  Earlier this week I received a letter back from the attorney general’s office stating that they have filed a complaint with the collection ageny and to give the collection agency 14 business days to respond.  After 14 business days I have a post card to fill out and send back to the attorney general’s office.

We will see what comes of it – maybe they will even start sending me the documents that they are required by law to send me (every attempt so far has not produced all documents).  Anyway, this is just a quick update and I will let everyone know how it all works out in the long run!

Frugal Friday Link Love

Posted on: September 26, 2008 by Matt 2 Comments

Well it’s Friday and I am thinking that I am gonna start a weekly roundup of some frugal posts that I enjoyed every week.  So check back every Friday for our new Frugal Friday Link Love.  This week’s list is:

• MoneyNing talks about Influencing Others To Save As A Frugal Technique.
• FrugalDad gives out some new uses for old egg cartons.  I love any ideas to reuse, recycle and well just keep stuff out of land fills.
• Learn to curb your addiction to deals over at Northern Cheapskate: Some good ideas to cut back spending on all those great deals out there.
• See how much it costs to make your own food over at Blogging Away Debt.
• Gather Little By Little offers up some ideas to create your own economic stimulus check.

I think that about wraps it up for this week.  Check back next Friday for another selection of posts on being frugal!
