dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I would simply not engage. There's certain things you can say or do that like update your debt so that the clock is no longer ticking on the statute of limitations for that debt but i don't remember what they are so i'd just ignore them. I think acknowledging the debt as yours is one of those things though

Seconded, please don't do this OP

This mostly only matters though if you're planning to ghost your creditors like i did, if you're paying anything that also updates you on the statute of limitations

Yeah im just ghosting. In reality it's a moot point for me cause I don't answer numbers i dont have saved in my phone, and if it's important someone will leave a message.

So yeah look up the rules on how the statute of limitations for debt works in your state so you don't fuck that up. 7 years for me and im debt free and already getting mailed in offers for more credit cards 😎

Looks like its 10 years in mine :(

Look up the laws. If they call you more than once a day or use offensive language I'm pretty sure they are breaking the law; you can maybe force a settlement equal to or greater than your outstanding balance.
