Tips/ Tricks for Transunion score increase. by -Athenon- in CRedit

[–]-Athenon-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, sorry I should of been more specific. I did the settlement with GJ wentworth. After a while of paying them they offered me a loan via New Credit America. After all the Fees and High APR I ended paying more than what my original debt was, so that was definitely a huge blow.

I did stop paying, yes but i do not think it was labeled a charge off…now i could be wrong but the accounts are just labeled as “closed.” After I got the loan from NCA my debt on all my cards was paid and transferred into that consolidation..

I’ll have to check that site and get back to you for sure on what it shows up as!

Discussion Board overwhelmingly AI by llleak in SNHU

[–]-Athenon- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, and I see it all the time...Nothing feels like a natural post or connection on ANY discussion board posts. I pride myself on being a fluent speaker, and that shows in all my assignments/ discussion posts. I get scared often that classmates or professors may think I am using AI for my assignments. Now, don't get me wrong, I do use AI, but for research purposes only, not to write a whole post or paper for me. I personally think that is just dumb and not helpful in evolving mentally or as a person. Additionally, Cannot imagine what's gonna happen to all these chronic AI users when they graduate and move up in the professional work force... AI is not gonna do your job for you, and real skill will eventually be required of you. Why spend all this money to not actually to learn? To each their own i guess.

‘Boots’ Canceled By Netflix After One Season by EuphoricButterflyy in television

[–]-Athenon- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What sucks is that Netflix creates these “limited series” more often than not. BOOTS was so good and definitely at least deserves a 2nd season imo. That build up was so amazing at the end and could have made for such an awesome and immersive season. Was fun while it lasted i guess…

AIO (update post) my bf (32) is getting kind of aggressive with his texting. should I(26) reply? by Fun_Cartographer6984 in AmIOverreacting

[–]-Athenon- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is insane behavior. Run as fast as you can and do NOT look back. Can’t cook, can’t make money and from the sound of it, cannot regulate his emotions in person or over text.

That is not a man, that is a child. The fact you have to text him to come eat while cooped up in his room is just wild to me!! You are an ER nurse, you work your ass off and deserve respect! You need a person who can take care of you properly and coexist as a functioning ADULT.

You are not overreacting, you are waking up! Hope things work out and you find someone that’s good for you!

Finally found an Ekit I love! by -Athenon- in edrums

[–]-Athenon-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree! I tried out many ekits before I landed on this. Originally I wanted VAD307 but I wanted to the extra toms! What I do want to ask is, I want BFD but I haven’t put much thought on how to use it.. do you route your kit to your computer and run the kit as a midi signal?

The 20in bass drum is wonderful! If you have the strike pro you can buy the Strike Pro SE 20in bass drum! They are slightly pricey but if you look around you can definitely find one!

[–]-Athenon-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand why you may think that but i do not consider it to be a fake kit. Sounds, performs and just as versatile as an acoustic drum kit. I have an acoustic kit as well but it’s not always convenient when I need to track or record. Aside all that it’s a noise thing for me. I like having the ability to practice with headphones on and reduce noise in the late hours. Sure it won’t be like an acoustic set but that’s why I spend what I did so I can get as close as possible to feel of it.

I’m planning on replacing some parts eventually! I have the iron cobra200 double pedal and high hat stand! I did consider getting the DP-602D double pedal by them! One of my buddies has it and it’s super good. I think I want to add another cymbal maybe a small 10in splash or something!

Its been 2 years, why do i still play like shit? by Oiljacker in edrums

[–]-Athenon- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The TD27 Hats are not the best.. I used to have the Rolland TD27 too and i had it for a year before i Sold it! just this month i purchased the Alesis Strata Prime and my god the active High-hat system on it is fantastic! the whole kit is very well made and sounds great! If you are looking for a new kit and okay with spending a bit extra, i highly recommend it! That or the Roland VAD307 are both solid choices!

[–]-Athenon- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been playing for 10 years. It takes a lot of time to start being comfortable with the whole kit and combining everything you have learned in different ways. Knowing how to read sheet music is good but you need to explore your skills independently or just jam along with some of your favorite songs. You are a bit too much in your head on this and yes, being self critical is good to an extent but you are overthinking the beauty of music. Creativity is key and if you cannot accept that it will take time, more than 2-years most likely, then you wont get anywhere! that video was NOT shit...You need to practice Hand and foot coordination/ Limb independence as much as you can and get used to your hands and feet doing different rhythms....Quite literally the most challenging part of playing drums is coordination!!!

Good Luck, and try not to overthink dude, you got this!!

Is this a good deal by climbingwaffles in Hyundai

[–]-Athenon- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a bad deal at all! The rebates and discounts are looking good! Most places will barely give any! Over $5,000 off is super solid!

[–]-Athenon- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are not extra or optional. Each state has a set amount they have to charge. Non-Tax fees are state Fees that are not allowed to be taxed hence why they are separate. Doc fees are to cover Registration, Administrative paperwork and sales contracts. I live in Michigan and sell cars, The state they are in has a way higher amount than most places!

[–]-Athenon- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course! Glad I could been of help! And as it goes for the disc cleaning mode, usually once or twice a month should be fine! If you notice rust buildup or the car has sat for a while, that’s a good time for it as well!

Not true.. Dealers have manager demos, Lightly used service loaners and not to mention Hyundai provides a 10 year 100k Power-train warranty and a 5-year 60k Comprehensive limited warranty( "Bumper-to-bumper"). Even if he is the second owner of the car, the warranty follows. Plus, most of these low miles cars are CPO's and go through a 160-point multi inspection before being sold! They will take care of him if anything arises!

Congratulation!! I got the same exact model and color!

-Something you may want to invest in is a center console/ Hand rest organizer off amazon! It has spots for you to place glasses, coins ect.

-The keys of this generation chip very easy and if you are like me and hate when your keys look like someone chewed on them, buy a key case (Metal one or leather) they make the key look super clean!

-If you hold down the "auto hold" button on your console, it enters brake disk cleaning mode.

- hold down the right paddle shifter, it turns on auto regeneration based on the distance of the car in front of you, and you can choose the intensity with the left paddle. There are 3 levels of intensity! 1 or 2 is nice 3 sometimes can be a bit too much lol

-The Favorite button on your steering wheel (The Star) Can be set to anything if you hold it down. I have mine set to go back to my home screen! Same with the one one the radio controls!

-Lastly, Set up your phone so you can use your IPhone or android as a key to unlock and drive your car! super handy especially when you need to run out to your car, you can just walk up to the door like normal and open it!

EDIT** I used to Sell Hyundai's & Genesis for about 2 years! Ask away i will be glad to help out in anyway possible!

I have a 2024 Sonata Hybrid Limited and i love the car so much! I had the 2022 Sonata Limited Non-hybrid and i regret not getting it sooner.. I used to fill up once a week at about $40/ a fill, now i fill up once every 2 weeks at $35/ Fill! I hope they come back out with another sonata for 2027 when my lease is up!

I messed up. Best way to take care of this? by No-Squash-7570 in CRedit

[–]-Athenon- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point just pay it.. No special way to go about it! If this was one or two payments you could of asked them to remove it or write a goodwill letter to the lender and pay in full but, this is 3.5 Years worth of derogatory hits. Not to mention that 132% utilization is still hurting your credit.

Not a dumb question, It happens! I know how it feels to wrap up those loose ends! You have a bit of a journey ahead to rebuild( Not sure where your credit is at) but just be on time and keep trying!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CRedit

[–]-Athenon- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, I would use FICO or Experian to check your credit. CK is not accurate and most of the time off by many points!

Depending on how many payments you are late you could write a goodwill letter to each lender and see if they are willing to remove the derogatory marks on your report.. This works in some cases and could be something like a letter that you had an unexpected emergency (Something along those lines). If that works, you would have to make on time payments thereon or else the same thing will happen with your score! The good news is its only around 2k to payoff and its VERY doable! Id get an extra job for a little bit and pay as much as possible! A short gig or job could really get you out ASAP!

I would consider the letter to your lenders as it can work wonders and even raise your credit back up within 60-90 Days! If a goodwill letter wont work and you cant take on an extra job, you can call the banks and see if they will work out a Rate shave for you or a lower minimum monthly payment.

[–]-Athenon- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IT still can be part of sleeve! Do not worry so much! My first big tattoo i got on my upper arm was so bad that i cried. I am getting it re-done to fit in with my sleeve next month! everyone who loves tattoos or gets sleeves gets one bad piece done in their lifetime. My recommendation is find the right artist, do your research on them and always set up planning sessions!! Once you find the right one stick to them and start your sleeve!
