ABSOULTELY FALSE! I feel no need to elaborate w/ details. I'm not defending the media. I KNOW there is sensationalism for ratings. However....given the topic of the show at discussion, having seen the actual show at discussion and having percieved the "perps." on the show at discussion, AND having been a victim of these types of "perps." I find that this is one of the few that was NOT sensationalized. These guys, whether arrested, sitting in jail as we speak or wherever their sleezy asses are, don't need the media, law enforcement, or even some innocent minor to FORCE them to engage in such acts...this is who they are. These people are attracted to minors and prey on minors....they don't need the media to sensationalize any of it in order for such fact to be true! "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Well...genetics is one thing, laziness and being "comfortable" is another. BTW, I have "thunder thighs" that no matter how many miles I run a day, will always be, well, you get the picture. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

That would be the unjust end part. If the media is allowed to trap guilty people, what keeps them from trapping innocent people, and ruining their lives? Well, I'm thinking that "innocent people" would be a lot harder to "trap." I'm gonna' need a hypothetical to continue this. These guys are hardly being trapped. Think about it, a KID, an adult, you know what is "right" and what is "wrong." "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Aggie D: The Media is NOT law enforcement and hence not held to the same standard. The coverage you saw in Nightline can absolutely be admissible in court, with the right attorney, as it was not law enforcement who, in techincal terms, entrapped the "perv." "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Not too worried being that I don't PREY on minors to fulfill by sexual desires. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

"Fuck you, you fuckin' fuck face!" Like that one a lot "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Um....adults trying to meet children for WHATEVER...they had it coming! Bet some would think differently if it was THEIR house some perv. was sitting in waiting to meet their 13 old daughter. Think about it.... "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

The guys huh? I'd have to politely ask which sex get "comfortable" more often once the secure feeling sets in? Did I stutter? Hello? It's the guys. Got it? Ok, let's move on. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

The nice thing about natural boobs...they look hot in any position (not to mention, they can actually MOVE in any position). "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Shit! I should have taken your advice. Drunk posting and clicked on some nasty image of lop sided, plastic paperweights....oh, my eyes burn! "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

You're a BAD girl - thinking the same thing "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Dude! Where did you hide the "bug" in our house. Yeah, that's a "ditto" on the conversation I recently had with the hubby. Seems like the guys get a little "comfortable" when it comes to the security of a legally binding relationship. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Welcome back...great to have the SO blessing, I'm still waiting on mine . Also great to have NEW gear, but I really would not know first hand . Stay safe. Blues.... "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Life Solutions, is that the communications company over in Rancho Bernardo area? Welcome to the paralegal world but, seriously, congrats on the job. The one thing about this field....SECURITY. Someone is always suing someone. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Not so cut and dry when it comes to the actual law. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

A couple months ago there was some filming going on at Skydive San Diego - a chick doing her first tandem. I asked around and was told that it was MTV filming her. Looked more like two dudes with a hand held but who knows maybe that was it. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

What he said. If you try to resolve this yourself, you could end up in a real mess. Be sure to mention you were toasted when you signed the contract. rl VERY good point. Not only may the 5 day BS be illegal and void the contract but the state (i.e. drunk not location) you were in when you signed it will definitely help that. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

You should talk to a lawyer in Wisconsin and see if this 5 days BS is even legal. If it's not, then the contract may be considered null & void but I don't know how you would then go about getting the money back - you need a lawyer. Ooh, if you want to do a little homework of your own. Contact the BBB and get a little more information on this company you signed the contract with. If they have tons of complaints, you might be able to the get the BBB to help you resolve the issue. Edited to Add: WTH is "lawrocket" today?!?! "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

Even if she decides to sue (and unless all entities are in the same state, that would totally be a pain in the ass due to jurisdiction rules), she still has to resolve the issue of the hit to her credit report which the courts will not touch (in my very limited experience). "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

If that's the case, call the collection agency first and speak with the supervisor and request that she at least put the report to the credit agency on hold until the discrepency can be resolved. Surprisingly, most people ignore these credit collection notices and you're willingness to work with them to resolve the issue will stand out from most people they are dealing with (i.e. rude, scamming, irresponsible butt heads).

Hot pink, thong - NO PICS! "Excuse me while I kiss the sky..." - Jimi Hendrix

FIRST: write a letter to the reporting credit bureau agencies, you can find that on-line (I think there are 3-4 major ones) and state that you are contesting the report to your credit rating as invalid. Provide copies of ALL the letters you sent, your attorney sent, etc. and the check-in list. It wouldn't hurt to have your attorney include another letter confirming that this report on your credit rating is in legal contention right now. By law, the credit agency has to contact the reporting entity (in this case it will be the collection agency) to confirm the validity of the report on your credit rating. If the collection agency does not respond to the inquiry within 30 days, it HAS to be removed from your credit report. But you are the one who will have to track that and ensure that the credit agencies do remove it - if the collection agency doesn't respond. Then contact the collection agency again and ask to speak with a supervisor. Be calm and cool - don't use any foul language (although I KNOW you want to) and explain that you have every intention of working this out but that you are contesting this charge. Explain your previous contact with the rental agency and the representation that was made to you that the matter had been handled. Also explain that this rental agency is now refusing to work with you because the account has been sold to the collection agency. Ask the supervisor how she suggests getting it resolved. FROM THIS POINT FORWARD DOCUMENT ALL CALLS WITH NAME, DATE, TIME, CONTENT OF CONVERSATION, ETC. with anyone you talk with this on the matter, including your attorney. It will help when you are being transferred all around and constantly having to explain the steps you've taken to resolve this. See if the collection agency will help you. Believe it or not, if you are a calm and normal person explaining that you have no intention of not paying anything that you legally owe, they will help you. All they want is to close the account. I've been through this with a credit card company and it was the collection agency that helped me - the credit card company wouldn't do shit for me. Feel free to PM if you hit another wall.
