As soon as I signed up with them they sold out to another company.  After paying my monthly amount faithfully for over a year, none of the balances had even budged. Some of the balances had incurred hundreds of dollars of "late fees" because some creditors never received a proposal.  My monthly fee to CCCS was $25.00.  You have to pay the monthly balance by bank check or money order (no personal checks accepted) and make sure it gets to them on time.  I was mailing my payments out 10 days in advance and they were "late" every time.

$5000 later, my total debt increased by over $5000.  I should have spent the money filing bankruptcy.

We had a deduction we had no idea existed and would not have come across if we'd done it by pen and paper. We also received our refund very quickly, less than 2 weeks direct deposited. It did take a long time to go through the whole process, longer than expected, but we will definitely use it again next year.

you guessed my name  . . .

prefer OPs and have done MT work for about 16 years.  I have worked for MQ for 11 years for the Univ. of Pa. which they lost and now I am working for a small company in Michigan with just tons and tons of crap work.   I would like an IC job with OPs if possible. 

As soon as possible, talk to an attorney who specializes in this. Ask them if you can file Chapter 13 bankruptcy. In many cases, you can ultimately pay up to 10% of a past owed date.

While this is being haggled in the courts, you can send money, or not. You will have the protection of the federal government, who will handle another branch of the federal government.

Just never miss a single payment to the courts.

I guess I am out of it.  How big of a holiday is this?  All the kids home from school today?  Post offices and banks closed?  Seems rather quiet work-wise.  Wondering if I should start cleaning the house or keep staring at the no jobs to do in my queue.

Thanks!

You know the closed caption on TV programs, especially the Court TV transcripts....I wonder if those are computer-typed or human-typed.  If they're typed by humans, then any one of us could do a hundred times better, as there are typos all over the place! 

While we're on the subject....I wonder how much money a court stenographer makes, and wonder if it's more of a pain than it's worth.  They don't look very comfortable when they're typing in to their little machines.  Anyone know?

does anyone know the name of that company?  Any information would be appreciated. 

They will try to get you to work like a dog, your fingers to the bone.  You just tell him no.  I will work x number of hours a day and that is it.  That is what I did and it worked out fine.   They will try to push you to work 24 x 7 if they can.  That is the way they are (men from India).  Just hold firm and they will accept it.   You need to be "thick-skinned" I think to be able to work with them. 

Merely sent an email. In the subject line put MTSTARS (company name) so when you get a response you have the details.

Merely say, I have a couple of question prior to sending in a resume or testing taking.  This saves time on both sides. 

May I ask, what is the lowest to the highest rate of pay. What pay rate formula is used, for example, by the line, by the minute, by the word, by the gross word.  Are spaces paid, ALL spaces.

some in their ads say "we pay for ALL spaces"  so I guess some companies pay a percentage. 

For instance Medquist does not pay for the demographic screen, the CC notation or the headings. and prob more that is not known. .

You need to know how to convert this to an hourly rate so you know how much you actually are making.

Below is a quote from a company in Texas TSI and I sat down with the calculator and figured some of the hourly rates.  For the most part, way too many lines for most MTs

First off I'd tell my mom that he's a pig and what he has done. 

Secondly I'd never be around him without a recording device turned on in my pocket so that way you can record his comments, and if he touches you or flirts then get a recording of your asking him to not touch or look at you that way and his response.  Then play the recording for your mom and other relatives.

While it may be true your mother may go into denial you need to stand up for yourself.   My mom was a fool and protected my father when she was told about his untoward advances towards women for years.... and then something happened that made her realize that she had been a fool for years and that he was the one with the problem.
