Using Your Email's CC and BCC Features for Fun and Profit (Okay, Maybe Just Profit?) - 10:35 PM
Once, I was working with some clients who were....challenging, to say the least.  They seemed to distrust everyone involved in the process, and both husband and wife alluded to suing the other party in the transaction more than once, as well as their own lender.  They never pursued any legal action, thankfully, since they had no case of any kind.
Since they had trust issues, I decided that one of the best things I could do was to use the "BCC" (blind carbon copy) feature on any emails I sent to the other parties involved, so that they could see all … (121 comments)

Please Take My Money..... - 03:26 PM
I was feeling pretty good towards the end of August.  After 2 months of trying, I was able to receive a loan modification on my primary residence.  As soon as the paperwork came, I signed and overnighted it back to the lender.  I was able to sleep better than I had in months.
My first payment was due this past November.  I made sure it was at the requested address by sending it priority mail 4 days ahead.  All was going well.
Then on aproximately November 12 I come home and found a letter with my check in it.  The lender … (3 comments)
