Since your a former bank manager- how can I get
my credit score up?  My husband and I want to buy a house with no down payment and the lender said that we need to get our credit score up 18 points to do this.  How?  He mentioned paying our credit cards down to almost a zero balance.  What else can we do?  And how fast could we do it?
Hey former bank manager, what
does the "came way" mean?  Is that a banking term?
I agree w/you, bank manager...
God is not a vindictive (sp?) God, He is a kind and loving God.  This hurricane is simply nature, and nothing more, I'm sure...Would you bring your wrath down so hard on your own children for something they did that was wrong? Well, that's how God feels about us...His children, everyone of us. Even those who fight so hard to have Him removed from our lives...we are extremely blessed that God is so wonderful!

Quick question for x-bank manager

Is it true what I was told about NOT closing out 0 balance credit card accts?  I never have closed one, just never use them and I have excellent credit, but in general, am I doing the right thing by not closing out?  I get 0 interest cards, typically good for 1 1/2 years and when comes time to be charged interest, I transfer balance to no interest card, do not close acct and have been doing this for years.  I usually do not carry a large balance and have paid outstanding balance to 0 on several occasions.  Thanks for your imput.


Former Bank Manager, Could you be more specific. I want to make sure I get this right.

Head manager, middle manager, lower manager question
Ok, maybe someone is having this same issue as me. A couple of weeks ago I made mistake and the person on call for the weekend not there, tried to contact them. I He contacted me about this after my shift was over. Instead of stopping there, he in turn told the higher boss up on the chain and then I was contacted again by them. Does this happen in most cases- the 1 you talk with then goes higher and you get slapped on the wrists from both sides? Does 1 person calling it to your attention just not work?
Bank debt/check card? Same thing?
Is the prepaid visa card the same as a bank debt or check card?
Any good ideas where to look. Job Bank and Resume bank not working.
I think they must be waiting for a tech for repairs.
You're really swift, aren't you?

You're pretty full of yourself aren't you?
your problems, your point of view, your way, your outlook, your, your, your.

frankly unless you know exactly what everyone is up against personally, financially, physically, emotionally, your "advice" is exactly worth what we paid for it. ZERO. Now don't waste your typing skills trying to talk down to us again. No one is buying into it.
Well those things aren't "fudging" -- they're being more SM
efficient. I started out that way too. I never had a spell checker until 1990. I don't call it fudging at all.
If you're so brilliant then, why aren't you in a better line of work?
1. Surgeon.

2. Attorney.

3. College professor.

oh, and yes, my brilliant one - what year exactly did you graduate with your Ph.D. from Harvard?

You're using your puter to chit-chat here aren't you? Why can't you let him have some fun t

Make sure there aren't other taxes that you're overlooking.

Some communities/counties have occupational privilege tax, 911 tax. Some sales require you to collect a sales tax on your service. The best advice is to check with a tax preparer AND visit your state's revenue website to make sure you're not missing anything.


and now it's OUR fault that the docs aren't more careful when they're dictating?
Hey, they're making 100 times what we do, so it's their responsibility to be aware of what they're saying, not ours.
You're very lucky and obviously aren't looking up addresses or having to relisten to slop over

You're incredibly fortunate. Many of us aren't even getting offered 8.5 cpl for years of exper

See, you're saying the same thing that I'm saying ...

I've noticed that in those types of posts that they rarely say where or how they're doing this.  It's usually more so of a rubbing-it-in-your-face type of statement responding to someone else who is distressed about what's going on in this profession. 


I strongly suspect that even if those particular posters are indeed telling the truth that their situations are the exception because they're certainly not the general rule from what I'm hearing from MT's both all over the Internet and offline.   


I've found over the years that it's not just skill and experience that helps you reap the financial rewards in this industry.  A good bit of the time it's also influenced by the luck of the draw in the types of accounts and dictators you get in addition to a myriad of other factors.  And I'm in no way demeaning those who are highly skilled and experienced.  In fact, I have the highest respect for those MT's who have mastered their craft.  All I'm saying is if you're in that high income boat don't try to make the rest of us believe that your ability and work ethic was the only thing that got you there.  Most of us have been around long enough to know that in the majority of the cases that's simply not true. 


I know many, many highly-skilled MT's who crank out perfect charts every day and have the highest work ethic who are working their way right into the poor house. 


I think we're saying the same thing
here, just different sections of IRS info.
You're welcome. One more thing, though... sm
If you can't "see" your fields in the document you need to press Alt + F9.

You're doing the right thing. Don't worry about it.
The people who want to see your brochure are, without any doubt whatsoever, planning to do just what you fear--take all your hard work and use it for themeselves. If they had any intention of designing their own materials, they would simply have done it on their own; they wouldn't need to have a copy of yours. People like that count on the good hearts of people like you. They know you'll worry about being a "horrible person" if you don't agree to hand over what they want. You're not a horrible person. You're smart. Don't let the jerks take advantage of you. And don't worry about what they think of you. They don't matter.
Good thing they're so cute or we'd really get mad at them!
Sometimes cuteness is a life-sustaining mechanism, especially for my 6 previous little fur-ballz.
One more thing. If you're still having problems e-mail SH at
help@pcshorthand.com. They will probably be able to help you pinpoint your problem.

Good Luck!!

You said you "joined" the lawsuit. You did NO such thing! You're a liar!
How's that for spin? Didn't want to say it before, but you're right, why be polite? There is NO LAWSUIT TO JOIN NOW.  Only 3 employees are suing and we're NOT ALLOWED to join it yet.  So banter and pound your chest all you want, you joined in your dreams, sister!!
No, you're not missing anything. I understood it to read the same thing.... nm

I thought the same thing. Justify the EXTRA MONEY they're keeping
You know full well if the foreign MT was the same price they'd quit looking there too. It's all about the money. Who's he fooling?
Good thing you're the self-appointed talent judge to the stars,
LOL
proud to be one
You are an idiot to presume this is the only way one becomes a single mother.  If you didn't have ice running in those veins of yours you would be able to empathize with the OP, obviously you can't and we understand that.  You have not been there, done that, all we ask is that you to keep your ignorance to yourself. 
you must be SO proud
of your son. How mature he must be to have done basic at 17! Wow, guess you've been a GREAT mom! God Bless your child and I will remember him in my prayers. I hope he doesn't have to go to Iraq. I don't know yet what my son's gonna do, I just hope I can be strong and allow him to make his own decision! Have a wonderful reunion!
Proud?!?!?!
That is absolutely disturbing that you are actually proud that you filed for bankruptcy. I am against bankruptcy unless there has been some sort of tragedy, ie. death, disability, illness, etc., but not just because you were to darn stupid to stop taking out loans, getting credit cards, or just out having a shopping spree because you felt like it and didn't have the money. How fricken pathetic! If I were you, I would not be proud that you filed for bankruptcy!


I would definitely be proud of the former
bank manger position. It takes someone with real brains to do that job. LOL. You might as well just have said that you were a manager at K-Mart.
I am proud
I am so proud of you for being on top of things. Good job, my dear.
ain't too proud to beg --
Unbelievably, at age 41, having been completely self-sufficient my entire life, now raising a 5-y/o w/no child support, I actually had to apply for food stamps in my state... As long as my income remains below $1400 monthly, I qualify for $300 in food assistance... sad state of affairs..Also, now recieve MedicAid cost free for my child.. Last time I checked, you gotta do what you gotta do...
I am proud of you!! nm

I am SO PROUD OF YOU!!
You are absolutely doing the right thing.. hang in there.

I have an 8-year-old boy and had the pleasure of attending a Math Shootout at his school today.  This is where they take the top 5 students in each second grade class in either addition and subtraction and put them up against each other until there is a winner.  My son was in the subtraction group.  He didn't win, but he came very, very close!  I was really proud of him and all of the kids as they did a great job!


I am proud of you!! We should all...
I am very proud of you!! We should all stand up for this!! There are a lot of docs who don't know that there work is being offshored, and many patients who would probably be irate if they knew their information was going overseas.  I say if any other country wants to do MT work, they should get their own docs dictating. Someone obviously got it started here...they should do their own thing and leave the US reports to us!
Be Proud
I am proud of these Bigh US Players who have 70% of the Indian Medical Transcription Offshore Revenues. They do not have a myopic view of the world and treat the world as a large internet village. Google, Yahoo, MS all have subsidiaries in India where softwares are developed as Indians are very intelligent. Well Disgusted & Ashamed, why do you not set up a business only for Americans. You may not last long before you see RED in your financial statements.
47 and proud
Another 47-year-old CMT and proud of it!!!! As I have mentioned before, I think getting certified is individual preference and those of us that have obtained CMT status do not need bashed for doing so. I would not say anything against an MT that did not want to be certified. That is his/her own decision. As for myself, I am very proud of my CMT status. I worked long and hard to obtain my certification. I have been in the industry for 20+ years!
I would be proud of that title too!
Don't listen to them. You have a right to brag - carry on former bank manager.
Medquist must be so PROUD of you!!

Do I Make You Proud?
This would be a great song for graduation, don't you think?
Congratulations!! I'm Very Proud of You! SM

I, too, took the beta RMT test and I was ecstatic when I found out I passed.  I was a housewife and depended on my now ex-husband, so plugging away at school and putting everything into becoming an MT was a milestone for me.  I jumped on the chance to become registered.


Not to mention, for those who took the test in July, we only had a week or so to study and we totally missed out on the RMT test prep packages that are available now.  It's something to be proud of, I think.


Awesome job!


Amanda, RMT


you make me proud
you are on your way to more success.  Everything is put in our lives for a reason - good or bad - you perservered and are seeing the results.  What a bright light for someone who is going through the same thing you have been through.  And what wonderful examples of how to keep yourself on track.  I wish you continued blessings.
To Proud Member of AAMT: I think it's just as

Things in this field have changed for the worse over the past years.  Salaries have decreased, yet expectations have risen.  Benefits are contingent upon production, yet a good share of the time production can't be met due to complications outside of the MT's control.  When it comes to taking the losses due to changes in the field such as offshore outsourcing and technologic advancements, it isn't the clients or the service owners taking the major hit.  It's the transcriptionists.  Yet AAMT has done NOTHING to help the transcriptionists in general.  In fact, it has gone out of its way to PROMOTE offshore outsourcing and even to change some of the guidelines in the newly published, amended BOS to accommodate voice recognition and other technology geared to replace the MT or relegate transcription to other forms labeled "editors", which in reality involve retyping whole reports or major portions of reports at a cut in pay, of course. 


All anyone, newbies included, needs to do is to look at the history of the medical transcription field, see the changes, and then see how much AAMT did to promote the worth of the Transcriptionist in this country.  The depressing message isn't coming from those speaking against AAMT, it is coming from the consequences resulting from the actions of the AAMT.  One fact alone can depress a newbie, and that is to look at the average line rate in 1995 compared to the average line rate now in 2005.   Thank you, AAMT, for promoting that.


We are so proud of you...now STAY STRONG!!!
He will be trying to worm his way back into the household. Be firm, be strong! Set a time limit (in your mind, but to him also should he start begging) that you WILL BE SEPARATED FOR A SET AMOUNT OF TIME no matter how much he begs or how much you might start to miss him. Maybe 6 months or thereabouts. By that time, I think you will be SOOOoo glad you booted him out!

Please let your community's support system know you need a little help. Get the word out that you need a car. I'll bet a car shows up! Probably not a real spiffy car, but transportation nonetheless! Let your neighbors (if you have any)know what the situation is so they can be on the lookout for him and watch over you.

Please accept help and counseling from whatever community support groups there are to help bolster you resolve!!! If you have a neighborhood patrol (depending on your area...here, we have senior citizens that patrol neighborhoods in police cars, checking homes for people on vacation, etc) have them swing by the house often just to make a statement that someone is watching out for you. Even the police might do this if you are not out in the boonies. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND KEEP US POSTED.
Hey, with ideas like your's, I'd be proud to be your daughter!
;o) It's been fun talking to you! Have a good evening!! See you at the polls in 2008!
