Truth:
- Attorney.
- When people ask me "what kind of attorney are you?", my reply is always the same: "A god-damned good one."
- Been practicing law for almost six years, primarily representing Plaintiffs in consumer protection matters and debtors in bankruptcy.
- Didn't choose this line of work, it chose me, long ago. Acquiring my juris doctorate was the culmination of a successfully executed 20-year-plan. On some level, it is now all I know. Unfortunately, it was all a big mistake.
Dare:
- Pay my creditors only at my own leisure, only in such amounts and at such times as I direct, while forestalling their inevitable efforts to force involuntary repayment of my debt via judgment acquisition and execution. No bankruptcy allowed.
Doing this not because I believe I don't owe my debts (like those kooks who think that money has no value now that the US has gone off the gold standard, such that the lending of that money is illegal, and triggers no responsibility to repay it, blah blah blah), nor due to an inability to pay. Doing this for three primary reasons:
1. Entertainment.
2. Experimentation.
3. Blogification.
The first set of accounts that I am electing to refrain from paying are those that I owe to "Chase" (i.e. JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.). My reason for doing so is that over the course of my debt repayment history -- during which I have not ONCE, not EVER been more than 30 days late to pay any one of my creditors, with regard to any account -- Chase has played more games with my accounts than would a three-year-old with a pile of peas and a slab of mashers: to wit, raising minimum monthly payments, and lowering credit lines, all at their own whim.
So this grand %$&# you begins with Chase. I have payments due to them on three separate credit cards on the 12th, 16th, and 17th of this month. Cannot wait to hear from them. But first, a little more background...
