check and obligation.I to did get all that stuff check, patch,pencil
etc. On the letter said if you cash check you will be billed for $ 27
dollars and change a month for a year for your life time membership
come out too roughly a little over 300 dollars.If you still have the
letter that came with it read toward the end of it.

Read it.
Crap does not matter other than what it said on the check.
Nothing on the check
obligated one to anything.
What was in the letter? - Lot of glowing stuff. But it does not
matter. Suppose I sent you a check and a letter that said that if
you cashed my check
you would be required to ... whatever.
Or suppose that I sent you a check and then later tried to claim
that I also
sent a letter with a lot of conditions ....

Oh well. I didn't really come to get into a bitchfest. I
described my event
with that outfit and wondered if anyone had any similar. Does not
matter squat to me since I will only be good to them as long as they
keep sending me whatever right up front.

LOL - you say that there was a letter enclosed with the check? -
I guess I best
look closer in the envelope. Maybe there was a letter along with the
patch and sticker and pencil and check. ;-)




Craig, so you don't have any money and you have either no credit or bad
credit. Don't you want to be able to buy a house later at some point?
Don't you want to make some money?

A friend of mine had the same attitude many years ago. He'd join book club
after book club just to get the 10 books for a penney or some such. Then
he'd ignore the invoices for the monthly books that were sent until they
stopped coming. His credit was pure crap for a decade! It took five years
from the time he wanted to buy a house 'til he was able to turn things
around enough to get a bank to lend him the money for one.

It doesn't matter if there was anything on the check you cashed or not.
They can still put your credit so far in the hole that it can take a long
time to get out of it. Plus they can turn it over to a collection agency
who can keep it on your credit report for the rest of your life or 'til you
pay them what they say you owe by then. Interest continues to accrue over
that long time.

So if you plan to continue being a pauper the rest of your life, then you
can continue to act irresponsibly.

Like I said in another post - maybe I ought to just unsubscribe this
group - or maybe only look at it if I come up with a woodworking
problem/question that I can't figure out on my own.
Well, if I keep reading smart assed crap like what you just present I
am likely to return in like sentiment.
You and a couple other bozo's impress me as the sort who is determined
to go through life timidly sticking to some path that you have been
taught is the proper predetermined way to go.
The stuff you said above is obvious of your own fearful fantasies and I
doubt that you are even telling the whole story about your friend.
As for myself I nearly wish they would give me some crap over the issue
such that I might find some lawyer who would work for % and sue them if
they really messed with me over the whole affair.
As for irresponsible - I find your sort of arrogant fright mongering to
be irresponsible.
Even were I just 'joe-average' income I might consider carrying on with
the outfit as I have - "Send me the stuff first." - If I could not
break it within a few days of what I might consider fair and *heavy*
test I would send them the money.
But I do not expect you to adopt anything of my lifestyle choice and I
would not display my contempt for yours until you bleat out such such
contemptuous crap as you have.
As it is I just see you as one taking the coward way through life and
try to find some self justification in frantic advocating that others do
as well.
