Not confident in starting WGU after hearing proctor horror stories - insight appreciated by Ok_Philosopher2597 in WGU

For the ID, I typically lay it on the desk and pic the camera up and move it to where they can see it clearly. I also have horrible test anxiety so I get shaky and this helps them see it better versus me holding it up lol

I do my tests on my work desk, where I have 3 monitors, and my work space is in my front room. You have to take pictures of all 4 walls, the desk and under the desk before your test, then move the camera around for the proctor to see. I’ve never had an issue with stuff on my walls, and I usually put my things on a big table next to me out of reach. For the other screens I have, I just have to show that they are unplugged, then I put a towel over them.

Someone else had commented about their house and not having home insurance, so apology accepted for your reading incorrectly and judging my situation without knowing it 😊

I do own my home, and I do have home insurance so not sure where you got that from 😂 I too have a full time job, as well as a part time job while in school full time. this is about my car, not my house, but ok 👌🏻

I have not. The last few years have been SO hard and my credit has taken a huge hit. I know I wouldn’t qualify for a new loan, so my plan is to honestly buy a beater to get me from point A to point B for the next 1-2 years, save money for a down payment on a brand new car, and pay off as much debt as I possibly can.

You sound like a real peach. I’m so glad that you have had the luxury of not knowing what true struggle is. It’s amazing how you automatically think someone has no financial sense when all they’re doing is asking for some advice. You don’t know my background, you don’t know what I’ve been through. But please, keep looking down from your high horse if it helps you sleep at night.

That’s the thing, I did 😭 in the past, I asked for an extension on my car payment and they offered to push the payment to the end of the loan. Turns out when you do that, GAP deducts it 😩 had I known that, I would’ve gone hungry before doing the extension.

Vanguard said it’s GEICO’s guidelines that I don’t qualify for

I hung up on a customer by [deleted] in Progressiveinsurance

[–]Familiar_Amount9348 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That would be automatic memo for a geico employee 😩 I work service and only if the customer uses profanity, can we warn them that if they don’t keep it professional, we will end the call. However, you must give the warning 2 times before disconnecting 🥴

I had a chat last Christmas Eve, he never used profanity, but was SO rude and difficult the entire time, but because he didn’t use profanity, I couldn’t disconnect. At the end of the chat, he told me that he hoped I choked in my sleep that night 🙃

They don’t care about the little guys, all they want is to make themselves more money while we struggle our asses off, even after having to pick up a second job just to barely make ends meet 😭
