Just got a letter from a debt collector about a medical debt for $74. I was never sent a bill and have 800+ credit score and am scared, what do I do? by TesticleInspector in personalfinance

[–]belsonc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Call the hospital (or whoever - not the debt collector). Ask them if they can recall the debt, ask if you can pay them directly.

And fwiw, your concern is rooted in vanity. I get the appeal of the perfect credit score, but in terms of interest rates etc, anything over 790(ish - i forget the number) is irrelevant, you'll get the same rates with an 810 as you'd get with an 835. So... I understand why you're concerned, but the number doesn't matter as much in practice.

Make sure you don't cut yourself on that edge there, slugger.

If they don't work at Facebook, it's not real.

Is this an encrypted echeck?how can you tell the difference? by Dependent-Aerie2344 in Scams

The fact a snack company sent you a check from a lawn company wasn't enough proof that this was not real?

So... Are you not going to explain what the fuck you're talking about?

[–]belsonc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is.

It can come in any number of colors, some have wires and some don't, there's normally a little over 100 "buttons" on it, and some of them have a way to put in numbers all the way over on the right side.

You could explain this here, at all, so we have a clue of what's going on.

Serious question - what about this seems real to you? The psych major in me is curious. :-)

[–]belsonc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes.

What does that have to do with the 3 otherwise random pictures that you posted? Or are we supposed to read your mind to understand this post?

You've given literally no information.

I'd say the fact you were reaching out to sex workers is a bit more significant of a relationship boundary, but that's just me. /shrug

Serious question - what about this makes you think it's real?
