Question by Man of words: ??????????????????????????????????????,rate this?
A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with four young mothers and their small children… “You all have obsessions,” he observed. To the first mother, Mary, he said, “You are obsessed with eating. You’ve even named your daughter Candy.”
He turned to the second Mom, Ann: “Your obsession is with money. Again, it manifests itself in your child’s name, Penny.”

Last year, the limit was raised to .3 trillion, an amount that is about to reached. As it approaches, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has said failing to raise the limit would likely mean the US would default on its debt, creating “real chaos” in place of the fake chaos that’s out there now. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has said that failing to raise the limit would be “deeply irresponsible” and and Austan Goolsbee, President Obama’s chief economic adviser, has said that not raising the limit would create “the first default in history caused purely by insanity.” Eh, maybe.

Question by Celia: Why is my very old credit card debt now being sent to city marshall for collections?
I received a letter from my city marshall stating they are considering garnishing my paycheck, if I didn’t pay my old credit card debt. I was shocked and not sure if the letter was real or not. Why would the city marshalls care about my old credit card debt? I don’t known what to expect.

Answer by D J How old is very old? The people that contacted you could be a scavenger debt collector. The debt may be outside the legal status for anyone to collect it. The must send you a letter in writing stating the nature of the debt. If it is a valid debt they can take you to court. You need to find out if it is a valid debt. Check out you state laws on the age limits on collections at www.ncaa.org
If the debt is outside statute, write them a drop dead letter. Check out the information on dealing with debt collects at www.clarkhoward.com . Clark Howard is a nationally known Consumer Advocate Talk Show Host based in Atlanta.
