I would contact the bank, stop the auto debits, contact the lender...
Contact the lender, explain that you stopped the payment because of financial difficulty. Ask if they have a hardship plan. You probably have a 20-day grace period on your loan payment, (they report to credit bureaus when 30 days late) and you probably also have a grace period on your insurance. In the meantime within those 20 days of grace, FIND A WAY to make some cash. It seems, at least from my experience, that when you get behind, it is almost impossible to catch up. If you use next month's check to pay last month's bills, you never get out of the hole. I've been in that downward spiral and I understand what you're going through. I've sold things on Ebay, consigned clothing at consignment stores, and worked two jobs just to stay afloat at times. Every little bit helps. It can be done. But don't WAIT, call them today!!
You mentioned the IRS. Try calling the Taxpayer Advocate's Service toll free at 1-877-777-4778. They are independent from the IRS and their function is to help solve IRS problems that cannot be solved through normal channels.
re Kathy S
What planet do you live on? Wendy Winers? My list of accounts at 10 a.m this morning was 0 and 0 and 0 and 0 and 0!
re: Kathy S--MQ Amherst
Sometimes I think that some of the people out there think we are making this stuff up and that we are all wealthy and only working for the fun of it. This is the farthest thing from the truth. I am the sole support of my family and I need to work and again Amherst has us out of work after we were call called to work this week-end. I resent the remarks from the other person that MQ or anyother company would hire more people because these accounts are out of TAT--how can they ever be out of TAT when they have so many MT's in each account, When I was transferred to Amherst I was told how they were so busy with so many accounts and I would never have to worry about running out of work--what a lie. I have 6 accounts, how many do we need, should we all have 15 or 20 accounts and then we would have work. Why do other MT's that are in other offices have only ONE account and have work all the time--could it be the way the office is run???????? Why does MQ let this office continue to run the way it is but then do they really care--if we leave, they will just hire new MT's to replace us
Thank you, Kathy. I just emailed you.

Kathy Griffin life on the D list
She's funny but what happened to her face? She looks like she got her nose from this one, her lips from the other one, and hair from somebody else. And that forehead is as big as the moon. Why doesnt she leave that poor face alone? There's such a thing as too much plastic surgery, she is the poster child. Anyone know when to catch this? I know its on Bravo but forgot the night. Poor girl.

Let me know. I will be more than happy to lend my marketing experience and anything else that needs to be done.
It happens with all groups, everywhere, anytime…
this post was like if you let your children go to daycare, see what happens. The world has become so evil that it just does not apply to if you have your children in day care. Remember about the mother in Texas, stay at home, who drowned her 5 children at 1 time. Beautiful children and yet a mother no less. You cannot just say not on my watch. That is what I was speaking about. I think lots of people have their heads in the sand thinking just home front is safe and secure.
I think anytime you get a raise you should
thank your lucky stars. I have been doing this for over 20 years and I cannot even remember a raise, probably in the 80s or early 90s? I think most places, the companies here, are not giving raises these days. I make less than the 80s and 90s now. Others will make more but they are probably the ones who have their own accounts.
Here's you a link on it. Won't be anytime soon.

Anytime Felicia, I enjoy
telling people where to put things.
READ ingredients!! Anytime you see
(meat) *byproducts* you are getting *and paying for* mystery meat that *you would not choose to feed to your beloved animal* if you could see what it was. It's not far-fetched at all to call it "road-kill!"
Good rule of thumb: Most of the mega-corporations out there making dog/cat food and spending BIG BUCKs for advertisement of how great their product is - are usually the ones most guilty of scamming you by adding unhealthy ingredients.
It's not that difficult to find quality food for your best friends -
keep us posted and you can email me anytime.
 You can do it!
Anytime someone makes a suggestion for an -sm
actual action to be taken, all the naysayers on this board try to blast them out of the water with their *flame*-throwers. "What goes around", et al.
I love my ESL docs and would see one anytime sm
over an English as first language doc. All they care about is money, not patient care. I think the ESLs actually CARE about their patients.
Anytime a company does not honor its own paydates,
I would never give a 2nd chance to miss it.
If you have anything in writing or email, I would take that to an attorney. They owe you money. You were given a paydate and they failed to pay. I would also take to the attorney a list of dates/times you tried to contact management, who you were trying to contact, at what number/address, and the response you received.
Not honoring paydates is a zero tolerance issue in my book.
I would make sure at the very least to contact the Better Business Bureau and file a complaint.
Good luck.
anytime a doctor's wife is involved in the
practice, it's always something...susan
did you try to do a system restore? anytime i find myself sm
in a situation like yours, i always try system restore to an earlier date to fix the screw up i did. no need to uninstall programs that way either. so much easier. i agree with the other poster, sometimes i get so furious with IT that i hang up on them and fix it myself!! if working on the computer is your income, you owe it to yourself to learn how they work so you can fix minor problems or be best friends with an IT or repair person you can call 24/7 without a huge price.
Anytime! Hope it gets worked out. Good luck! nm
People always seem to have to find fault in everything anytime there is a change. No, we are not
We have implemented links to various keywords and it will be growing over time. At present, we have about a dozen keywords that you can link to when there is a reference made in a post by a poster. We felt that visitors would WELCOME information that they may be seeking.
Regarding Medquist, it's no secret that the company outsources offshore. That has been made public my MedQuist for some time now.

If you spent anytime here at all, y'all know how I feel about offshoring. :0) SM
 What most don't realize is while there are laws protecting your medical data in the United States, these laws are unenforceable overseas. So basically, a patient's supposedly "protected health information" isn't really protected at all once it electronically crosses the borders out of the U.S. I think it is important that all patients be aware of this fact and have a say whether or not they want someone in India having access to their medical data!
I've been talking to a newspaper reporter in my area who is interested in running a story on this subject especially because I have firsthand knowledge of a local hospital who is outsourcing all of its transcription to a MTSO that offshores to India. I'm very excited because I've been pushing for public awareness of this subject for a while and I feel like I'm finally on the threshhold of effecting real change in my little part of the industry.
Anyway, change has to start with us, the MTs. We are MTs and we are patients. We have valuable knowledge as MTs about what happens to our protected health information and we should pass that knowledge on to those patients who don't have the benefit of being employed in the healthcare industry and are unaware of what happens to all that electronic information that makes up their medical record. I've told my whole family to ask "who does your transcription" at the doctor's office, the hospital, etc. When the doctor's office or the hospital hands you a HIPAA disclosure, that's your opening to ask questions about who all sees your medical record, who does the transcription, and is your medical information protected even if it is sent to India to be typed.
Okay, that was my soapbox speech for the day. 
Anytime I've tested, it's always been the same test on mttest.com, or careerstep. See if you c

Did anyone contact HR at MQ yet?
If anyone has yet contacted HR at MQ, please post underneath what was said to you.
Be sure to contact the doc and tell him! nm

How can we contact you?
There is quite a bit of due diligence required if you are planning to seel a business. The "typical" selling price of a business is 3 years revenue, but that is also based very strongly on its profitability, but I do have a group of independent MTs who may be interested.
I would contact that QA or his/her
supervisor and ask them to relisten.
I would contact...
the person that makes this program. I have had good customer service from him. It s/l something might not be set up correctly perhaps but Vann Joe would probably give you some help/tips if you asked. He has always been very helpful when I have asked questions regarding his products.
I have been using MP Count for quite some time for counting by gross line, and find it quite accurate.
HTH some.
contact me
I would like to discuss this with you, please contact me at my email address.
Thanks
Nothing that big, he was not there when I tried to contact
about it, sent instant message. it was report that always goes under STAT and I think had to let someone read over some blanks. He contacted me that night and we talked about it and I got it ok but then I had follow up wrist slapping the next workday from the higher up than him. What I was wanting to know does this go on with others, first 1 boss, then another boss- felt like tattling in grammer school with this.
I came in contact with them (sm)
And they gave me the simplest *test* which was basically not even medical dictation, and they tell you that they will *train* you and then provide you with a job, but first you have to buy *their* software. Fortunately I did not fall for their scam, but others have said that after your *training* and they test you, you never really get good enough for placement. Please believe the other posters. It is a huge scam.
Get rid of them (and if you pay well, contact me! LOL) nm

I would contact whoever is over you....sm
And explain to them and let them see who is right and who is wrong. Some QAers may need to be corrected.
You can also contact (sm)
AccuSTAT, Inc. in Wisconsin. They posted an add several days ago on the Job Seeker's Board for an ER transcriptionist. They appear to have a really good reputation.
Thanks I will contact them...
Does anyone know if it also works with Emdat Inscribe then?
You really need to contact your sm
prosecutor's fraud unit and see how they suggest you proceed. You really need to be careful in posting her name and address because since you are an IC and she the "debtor" you may be putting your self at the very least in violating debt collection laws - penalties are not cheap. I believe you posted this a few weeks ago, right? Did you send that formal demand with return receipt giving her a deadline to pay? That's the first thing they (authorities) will ask for. $16k plus is a HUGE chunk of change. I really think you will need to resort to legal matters to collect, and probably by judgment. I know it's frustrating, but posting her name and address on the internet is liable to cost you much more than the $16K.
Can someone please tell me how to contact IRS...
anonymously to report an MTSO who is dictatorial in setting schedule and pay? I'm literally SICK of this and I am going to DO something instead of complaining about it. Maybe if just one individual does something about these cheapo, demanding MTSOs, it will stop after time. Thanks for the info!
Please contact me at the below
vlegalcontact@aol.com. Send a brief write-up on your business.
Friendly HHS contact
I was wondering if anyone had the name and number or E-mail address of a friendly person at the Department of Health and Human Services? I have a couple quick short questions concerning the HIPAA regulations.
Thanks.
There's 2. Got the contact name or the state? nm

Contact lenses ? sm
 I got new contacts a couple months ago and am having trouble with them collapsing after a week or two of wear, making it really hard to get them in. I am beginning to believe they are making them softer so that we have to replace them more often. TIA
Contact lenses
If you take them out at night they will last forever. You shouldn't sleep with them in because the contact lens blocks the exchange of oxygen with your cornea. And besides, if you take them out, they are fresh and feel great in the morning when you put them in.
Does she have family you can contact?
I had a former coworker say something completely bizarre to me one day. It turned out she had an undiagnosed brain tumor and she passed away soon after. Saying things completely out of context can be signs of other neurological problems, early dementia, stroke. I have no first-hand experience with bipolar, though.
No pay/no contact/no work
Would it be appropriate to directly contact the accounts on which you work and speak to them directly about your situation? Or is that not kosher?
Wouldn't it be best to contact your
tax preparer? Like everyone, you have unique finances and a general answer here may not apply to your specific situation.
Why don't you contact an authority? Like your
It is amazing to see such serious questions posed here.
