Just Me!! The Butterfly effect

Half a day off today as those that were around this morning can testify Sure made up for it when I went back to work though.  The damn phone never stopped.
I had one doozy of a mess to sort out.
 
Last week I got a client a really good settlement, yesterday he got a call from a completely different creditor saying that they now had the account and they wanted a thousand pounds more. He rang me upset. I rang the original creditor,no they said the account was still theirs and they hadn`t sold it on,the settlement stood. I rang the client and he paid it.

This afternoon I gets a v/m from the new creditor that had rung the client yesterday.I rung them back. They told me it was thier account and that they would not accept the settlement as they had only bought this account a month ago. I told them he didn`t have anymore money than that. they came down a bit,made other offers. I was not happy,so I said  I shall call the original creditors this gentleman has just paid them a lot of money and this is not his fault. the person agreed and asked me to phone them back.

I call the original creditors and gets to speak to the guy I spoke to yesterday. I explained the conversation to him and said right so what are you going to do about this? He said I will call you back I need to take this higher. And he did bless him. As far as the original creditors were concerned my client has paid and thats it finished. They would guarantee that the debt was wiped and would make sure he got papers saying so. Right I said you deal with xxxx  and gave him a phone number and contact name. I left them slugging it out and rang the client and informed him it is all over he is free of debt. It doesn`t matter now who made the almighty **** up, thats down to them to sort out between them.

Then got a woman whose creditor was taking her to court,papers served and everything, a 50% settlement on that,thereby stopping court proceedings.

And talked to a sweet lady who has been ill in hospital and is being bullied by not one but three Bailiffs at once,come on guys. three of you?!! And you didn`t show identification,Tut,Tut you should know better,guess who has been reported then?   They work in the Midlands for anyone who wants to know,and here is me telling people that Baillifs are great people and always willing to be nice!! Seems that there are always exceptions

Very busy afternoon and now I have people telling me they cannot access my blog? Seems quite a few can though so it may just be a Gliche and we are all  used to those

Purely in the interests of research into the evil listy thingy Borrowed * cough* from old-niq

A stranger called today,asked if we could meet
Made me remember the Café down the street.
His laughing eyes,his handsome face
His presence used to fill this place
And the things he used to say
The stranger who called today.

A stranger called today,it wasn`t always so
I have seen him laugh,seen his face glow
Seen him cry and held his head
Shared my home,shared my bed.
Shared the sorrows,shared the play
But,it was a stranger called today.

A stranger called today,asked if I was fine
Made me remember when he was mine.
Days that never seemed to end
A sweet lover,a sweeter friend
How they both went away
And it was a stranger called today.

A stranger called today,it`s been a long time
I said I was good,everything was fine.
I no longer feel, lost and blue
I don’t even think of you
And now you will always stay
The Stranger, who called today.
