RETURNING PHONE CALLSMay 25, 2011
If you leave a message that you need someone to call you back, how much time goes by before they are just being rude for not getting back to you?  My sister-in-law screens her calls and half the time doesn't answer the phone, then doesn't call back.  After four days of waiting the last time I sent her an E-mail by way of her daughter (she doesn't have a computer) and she got a little huffy with me.  Am I being difficult?  ...

Need Some Advice About Harassing Phone Calls From A Loan Place.Oct 21, 2014
My 22yo son and his girlfriend apparently took out a small loan - not sure if it was a payday loan place as the company doesn't identify themselves as giving "payday loans."  They are called Security Finance and according to their website, they are licensed to offer "traditional installment loans." Long story short, my son and his girlfriend took out a $500 loan with this people.  They had to list something like five references on their loan app.  Of course, they did not pay ...

My Mom And Her Cell PhoneJan 07, 2015
After years of hounding my mom and dad about not having a cell phone especially when driving long distances in our cold, wintry state, my mom actually went out all on her own  and bought an inexpensive prepaid cell phone. She is very proud of the fact that she has a cell phone and knows how to add minutes, etc. The problem is that she will NOT turn it on because it "runs down the battery." My brothers and I have explained about the cell phone charger until we are practically blue in the fac ...

What's A Good Phone Company?Mar 09, 2010
I live in eastern PA and have been with Verizon for over 35 years.  I have been late in paying the bill lately because of my work situation. Today, my son emailed me and told me my phone was disconnected. Huh? I set up electronic payments 2 weeks ago to automatically come out yesterday and this Thursday with a live person. So I called. The aggravation of having to go through those 'answering machines' to get to a live person was enough to make me flip. THEN, the person I tal ...

NSA Phone Collection Records IlegalMay 07, 2015
This ruling is only for Section 215 of the Patriot Act. It was to expire in June.The EFF (first paragragh) is the one everyone was outraged about and this is the one that will probably be allowed to expire.  It’s the authority that the NSA, with the FBI’s help, has interpreted to allow the U.S. government to vacuum up the call records of millions of innocent people. It’s also been the focus of most of the NSA reform efforts in Congress over the last year and ...
