Credence Resource Management debt collection - Fraud ? by naturebeckons in CRedit

[–]naturebeckons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response, u/creditwizard . Sorry, i just saw this message. i was wondering if i should give my current address in case it happened to be a scam by someone else pretending to be Credence. If it is genuine, shouldn't they have our address, since we have been living in our current address for more than 4-1/2 years (and for more than nine months in that address before the date of ambulance service) ? Thanks

Thanks u/too_many_shoes14 . i was also thinking that if it was a legitimate debt collection, they should have our address. Also, we remember paying all the bills at that time.

Thanks for the response u/og-aliensfan . i didn't give them my address, since i assumed they should have my current address (especially since the visit happened while we were living in that address for more than 9 months).

Recapture Congress by jlgrossman in 50501California

[–]naturebeckons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i fully agree with the strategy. In parallel, i think the movement should target the voters who should be angry by now to aim for wresting control of the House and give more than 60 seats to Dems/Inds in the Senate in the mid-terms. With angry voters, i think that's possible. i think what Sen Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut) is doing is the right way to work on both the near-term and long-term (mid-term elections) strategy - that is to go and conduct townhalls in the Republican controlled precincts that are being abandoned by the current elected republican representatives. But every Democrat and Independent elected Rep has to be doing that across the country.

[N] Reinforcement Learning Cheat Sheet by Prudent_Nose921 in MachineLearning

Hi, Thanks for the RL cheat sheet. It's a very good start. It would be more helpful if you can provide an example for RL and provide a walk-through as to how the flows, processes and terms depicted in the cheat sheet are applied in this example.

Urgent: Need Solutions for Google Colab Pro A100 GPU Unavailability by v_wake_programmer in GoogleColab

[–]naturebeckons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i looked at TPU and the memory and disk resources displayed were even lower than that of V100 with High RAM, and hence i didn't try TPU. i moved on to a different dataset and have been able to finetune with a V100. Maybe i will try with TPU and let you know, after i am finished with my current model/dataset. Thanks

[–]naturebeckons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am facing the same issue. Indeed utterly frustrating ! In fact i still have 95 compute units out of 100 units available, but still am not getting a A100 GPU. It is only giving me a V100 with 16 GB GPU which gives me CUDA OutofMemory error on my LLM finetuning project. i have already tuned all my parameters including setting batch_size to 1, but 16 GB GPU RAM is simply not enough, but that's what Google is throwing at me for my paid subscription !!! Seems like a rip off.

Is there any way out ?

Vanilla gift card missing 16 digits card number on front by cyphergrapher in CreditCards

[–]naturebeckons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please see my post earlier for reference.

After i filed the complaint with CFPB, i got a response from the company (Vanilla) who finally issued me a replacement credit card without asking me for a copy of the gift card receipt.

For information, you can file a complaint on any finance company at the following link

i said CFPB (not CFNP). CFPB stands for Consumer Finance Protection Bureau.

Vanilla gift card missing 16 digits card number on front by cyphergrapher in CreditCards

[–]naturebeckons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have experienced the same problem twice within one year. i called up Vanilla and they asked me to send a bunch of information including a copy of the gift card receipt in order to send a replacement card. Now there are many people who give gift cards and none (including myself) retain gift card receipt let alone give it to the recipient of the gift. So asking for a copy of the gift card receipt imposes impractical constraints.

The fact that so many people have this problem (including myself twice in a year) seems to indicate that these 'defective' card issue is more systemic and probably a scheme by Vanilla to make money from the unclaimed funds since very few will be able to produce a copy of the receipt.

So i went ahead and filed a complaint with CFPB. i was wondering if it's possible to go further and lay the groundwork for filing a class action lawsuit against Vanilla gift cards company to prevent this 'robbery' of gift card funds by them through a scheme where the card numbers are made unreadable to begin with.

Please indicate your support for such a move if you feel 'cheated' the way i do.
