Mon 05:08:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], I made a lot of big goddamned mistakes.
Mon 05:08:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I should have listened to my psychiatrist and my mother and avoided this marriage.
Mon 05:09:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's brought me nothing but 6 more years of sadness and pain and frustration.
Mon 05:10:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If I wasn't going to have to have surgery soon I might just get all this stuff in a U-Haul and go back to Indiana. Sign a lease with my mom's landlord at one of her other units, and punch out.
Mon 05:11:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Canceling the surgery and taking the stuff in a U-Haul one day while Mandy's at work is an option.
Mon 05:11:37 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] roachviLL is not a good residence
Mon 05:11:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If I re-establish my Indiana residency I can file for divorce there.
Mon 05:11:44 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] maybe it was OK under mark's watch
Mon 05:12:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Mom ended up in a senior community at one point.
Mon 05:12:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Between Brian and Dave.
Mon 05:12:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It was really nice.
Mon 05:12:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Someone rehabbed a former school into apartments for people over 50.
Mon 05:13:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then someone bought it and started moving in trash. Bikers and stuff. It became unsafe, then everything got infested by bedbugs.
Mon 05:13:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] better than "5150 hold"
Mon 05:13:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Maybe.
Mon 05:14:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], When you rent you have no control over what happens regarding the building.
Mon 05:14:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Some new owners can come in and start completely neglecting it.
Mon 05:15:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Most of the people living here aren't bad, they're just poor with really shitty credit.
Mon 05:15:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Mandy told me to give him a credit card today.
Mon 05:15:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I had to ask him if he knew how to balance a checkbook.
Mon 05:15:41 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] ask dave
Mon 05:15:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Or what happens if you don't pay the bank or payments start bouncing.
Mon 05:15:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He asked what bouncing payments meant.
Mon 05:16:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I said "When you didn't keep track of them all and there wasn't enough money that happens. Eventually banks punish you by badmouthing you on your credit reports. Then you can't even open a bank account or rent an apartment. Is that what you want?
Mon 05:17:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If he doesn't even know what balancing a checkbook means, he shouldn't have the checkbook.
Mon 05:18:17 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] we are joking about this now
Mon 05:18:21 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] this credit card thing
Mon 05:18:34 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] like "lifetime ptential earninghs"
Mon 05:18:42 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] "or i take the home back"
Mon 05:18:45 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] "i want this catr
Mon 05:18:52 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] "I WANT CREDIT!"
Mon 05:18:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I told him "The credit card isn't free money because the bank likes you. It has to be paid back ALL OF IT this month!"
Mon 05:18:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] "disneyworld!"
Mon 05:20:05 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] oh, he took one ALREADY?
Mon 05:20:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Technically he has several.
Mon 05:20:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I have them.
Mon 05:20:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's why his FICO score is about 800.
Mon 05:20:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] <IsambardPrince> Mandy told me to give him a credit card today.
Mon 05:21:00 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] plastic?
Mon 05:21:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ One of them is metal.
Mon 05:21:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ :)
Mon 05:21:13 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] what does "give him" mean?
Mon 05:21:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He wanted that one.
Mon 05:21:15 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] apply for one?
Mon 05:21:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No, hand him one I already have.
Mon 05:21:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ One of us has to have great credit.
Mon 05:21:42 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] it's meaningless
Mon 05:21:45 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] i never borrowed money
Mon 05:21:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Otherwise, no apartments, shitty loans (if we need a car or something).
Mon 05:21:54 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] and i don't know or care what "credit" is
Mon 05:21:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Apartments need minimum credit scores.
Mon 05:22:02 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] the score is just to stroke people's ego
Mon 05:22:04 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] borrow more
Mon 05:22:06 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] you have "score"
Mon 05:22:11 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] it's meaningless
Mon 05:22:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Usually between 625 for a bad apartment, 650 for a so-so, and a 700 for a good one.
Mon 05:22:15 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] less meaningless than FB ';friends'
Mon 05:22:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], The US has the social credit score.
Mon 05:22:32 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] that should not matter
Mon 05:22:44 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] if you have bank balance, job etc. you can get good apartment
Mon 05:22:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's a combination of your FICO score, Chexsystems, and your criminal background check.
Mon 05:22:50 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] whatever those "Scores" are
Mon 05:22:55 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] buying a home... same
Mon 05:22:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If all of that is bad, you will have no job, nowhere to live, and no bank account.
Mon 05:23:07 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] people want to boast about theoretical thing
Mon 05:23:16 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] because all they have is a car.,.. and that too on a loan
Mon 05:23:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], But that's the thing.
Mon 05:23:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You have to keep all of this clean.
Mon 05:23:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Or else.
Mon 05:23:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No job, no home, no bank account.
Mon 05:24:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Most employers check your FICO score and criminal background.
Mon 05:24:04 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] they extrapolate
Mon 05:24:10 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] for people who have naught
Mon 05:24:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ ANYTHING bad and they just won't hire you.
Mon 05:24:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And it's legal.
Mon 05:24:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] but if you come to the bank with money to deposit, fine
Mon 05:24:28 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] same for homes
Mon 05:24:31 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] the issue is,
Mon 05:24:32 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] IIRC
Mon 05:24:40 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] 2 out of 3 americans live paycheck to paycheck
Mon 05:24:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], There's people who can't get bank accounts.
Mon 05:24:42 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] and have debt
Mon 05:24:44 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] that's an issue
Mon 05:24:48 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] when you take a tenant
Mon 05:24:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I laughed at my mom's third ex, Dave.
Mon 05:24:56 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] and eviction costs a lot
Mon 05:24:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He was on Wells Fargo Second Chance Checking.
Mon 05:25:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They charged him outrageous fees because nobody else would give him an account, at all.
Mon 05:25:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He went to all the banks and credit unions and nobody would give him an account except Wells Fargo, and it was their account to stick people with shitty Chexsystems reports with lots of fees.
Mon 05:26:03 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] you are conflating crtedit score with another score
Mon 05:26:09 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] keep focusing on one
Mon 05:26:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Chexsystems is a credit bureau.
Mon 05:26:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] 800 is not like china score
Mon 05:26:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's subject to the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Mon 05:26:35 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] it's just some "idiot who pays back with interest" score
Mon 05:26:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The banks see Mandy as a AAA credit risk.
Mon 05:26:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because I'm the one with the cards.
Mon 05:26:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And I pay them every month.
Mon 05:26:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] that'
Mon 05:27:00 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] s banks
Mon 05:27:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They see me as sort of meh.
Mon 05:27:08 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] their biggest products is loans
Mon 05:27:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because John.
Mon 05:27:20 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] and there are many americans who do not need loans
Mon 05:27:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] most do live in debt
Mon 05:27:27 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] but anyway
Mon 05:27:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You need a credit score and a good one to get an apartment,..
Mon 05:27:36 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] you are bundling one with another
Mon 05:27:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Unless it's full of roaches and managed by a speculator.
Mon 05:27:48 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] you don't need credit score
Mon 05:27:51 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] you need money
Mon 05:27:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No.
Mon 05:28:02 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] and whatever lending compaies say won't mtter
Mon 05:28:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They won't rent to you even if you have $100,000 if you have no credit score.
Mon 05:28:08 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] if you can pay years upfront
Mon 05:28:13 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] the thing is, few do
Mon 05:28:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They don't care.
Mon 05:28:17 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] esp. in cheap apartments
Mon 05:28:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They literally told me that with under 625, they would not rent to me.
Mon 05:28:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Even if I paid the entire lease up front.
Mon 05:28:40 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] IsambardPrince: maybe lousy ones would not
Mon 05:28:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They told me it's not just about the money.
Mon 05:28:50 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] dave\ ramsay already spoke about it
Mon 05:28:53 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] and i ehard ther same
Mon 05:28:58 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] it's propaganda they spread
Mon 05:29:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They see people with bad credit scores as unreliable and borderline criminal.
Mon 05:29:03 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] to shame you into borrowingf
Mon 05:29:05 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] when you do not need
Mon 05:29:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's away for them to weed those people out.
Mon 05:29:08 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] to apropos 100k
Mon 05:29:16 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] if you havve that, you might not need to rent
Mon 05:29:20 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] you can buy something
Mon 05:29:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] so the score does not matter
Mon 05:29:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Something where?
Mon 05:29:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ An empty lot is $100,000 here.
Mon 05:29:38 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] portion of something
Mon 05:29:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You can't even buy a condo with $100,000.
Mon 05:30:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And if you did, someone with roaches could still come in.
Mon 05:30:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And you'd never get it under control because nobody will force them to stop trashing their condo.
Mon 05:30:24 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] those "socore" are made up BS
Mon 05:30:27 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] to sell loans
Mon 05:30:42 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] and they don't matter to many people because they don't look for loans
Mon 05:30:53 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] it's like FB 'friends'
Mon 05:30:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] to people who are not on that site
Mon 05:32:04 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] you are also mixing crime records
Mon 05:32:27 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] with loan deliquesce
Mon 05:32:43 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] no employer in europe would turn you down because you never borowed money
Mon 05:33:03 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] they can, however, say thatt since you got arrested or convicted, you are a risk
Mon 05:33:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah, even Walmart checks your credit score.
Mon 05:34:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They also won't hire you if you have a misdemeanor usually, much less felonies.
Mon 05:34:18 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] not the same thing
Mon 05:35:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ https://www.apartmentlist.com/renter-life/credit-score-needed-to-rent-apartment
Mon 05:35:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], Sometimes landlords will rent to you with a FICO below 650.
Mon 05:35:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But they'll want two deposits or something.
Mon 05:36:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Do you really want to cough up three months rent EVERY TIME you move?
Mon 05:36:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And two of those months are just deposits you'll probably never get back.
Mon 05:36:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] not borrowing is not a bad thing, period
Mon 05:36:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It wouldn't be.
Mon 05:36:55 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] you are talking about people with criminal past
Mon 05:37:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you could get a FICO score without some engagement with a loan or a credit card.
Mon 05:37:05 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] and maybe some score that takes that into account
Mon 05:37:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No, it's separate components.
Mon 05:37:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The TransUnion SmartMove program tells the landlord your FICO score, your criminal history, if you've been evicted from anywhere before, and a bunch of other things.
Mon 05:38:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ About 60-70% of landlords in my experience use SmartMove.
Mon 05:38:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So it's a combination of requirements.
Mon 05:38:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Like one apartment complex around here says "650 or better FICO score, no felonies, no misdemeanors in the past two years, no evictions".
Mon 05:39:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Evictions can be reported by a credit bureau for 7 years, but landlords can look at the public record system directly and see if you've been evicted in that area if they want to.
Mon 05:39:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Once you've been evicted somewhere it's game over.
Mon 05:40:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That'
Mon 05:40:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Err
Mon 05:40:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's why Austin was over 40 years old and still going to college and taking student loans.
Mon 05:40:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He had evictions and nobody would rent to him.
Mon 05:40:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But if you're a student, they have to let you rent a spot in the dorms.
Mon 05:41:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ At that point it was take student loans or live in a box under the L.
Mon 05:41:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], It's a really fucked up country.
Mon 05:41:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Almost impossible for people to live in.
Mon 05:41:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Con artists and fraudsters everywhere.
Mon 05:41:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Massive exploitation.
Mon 05:42:46 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] your slumlord
Mon 05:42:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah, basically.
Mon 05:42:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And Mandy doesn't get it.
Mon 05:43:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That I get all of this "hard radiation" from dealing with these fucks.
Mon 05:43:13 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] operational efficiency - vermin everywhere, or pests like insects
Mon 05:43:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ While his head is buried in some goddamn internet phone.
Mon 05:43:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Where he thinks he'll just divorce me and go stay with his cell phone buddies.
Mon 05:44:16 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] the "spray can multi-millionaire
Mon 05:44:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ $33 million
Mon 05:44:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Sends Chris down to Walmart for Raid.
Mon 05:44:35 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] per annum
Mon 05:44:37 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] (allegedly)
Mon 05:45:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Landlords use credit reports to see how you pay your bills. They also don't want to rent to someone that's in a LOT of debt because they don't want to risk them filing bankruptcy and including unpaid rent.
Mon 05:46:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If they don't know anything about you because you have one of Dave's "INDETERMINABLE" credit scores, they just move on.
Mon 05:46:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And they rent it to someone they know something about.
Mon 05:46:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ What's worse, is that schestowitz[TR2] has no idea how credit reports work in the US.
Mon 05:47:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Not having positive tradelines doesn't meant that the worst that happens is no score.
Mon 05:47:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Oh no.
Mon 05:47:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Eventually you'll owe the hospital or something, and you'll have a BAD score.
Mon 05:47:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because the only thing FICO is looking at are your hospital bills, which would be balanced out on a normal credit report by paid as agreed credit cards, car loans, personal loans, whatever.
Mon 05:48:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ FICO looks at it "Hmm, no positive tradelines, owes the hospital ER $50,000?" "That looks like a 540 to me."
Mon 05:48:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Landlord looks at it, laughs, rips up your apartment application.
Mon 05:50:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], The more honest way of putting it, if you want to explain the American credit scoring system is....
Mon 05:50:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "They do this to you on purpose to pressure you into taking on loan products, so they don't blackmail you into having no job and no home."
Mon 05:50:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "So this is how the sausage gets made."
Mon 05:51:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ This country is a crushing wheel that's designed to keep people "where they belong".
Mon 05:52:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No post-high school education? Fuck off.
Mon 05:52:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Owe the hospital? Fuck off.
Mon 05:52:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Can't pay your credit cards because everything is expensive and work doesn't pay much money? Fuck off.
Mon 05:53:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Can't afford a car? Fuck off.
Mon 05:53:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Can't afford a car and won't or can't get a car loan? Fuck off.
Mon 05:53:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Criminal record? Fuck off.
Mon 05:53:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Bankruptcy? Fuck off.
Mon 05:53:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Eviction? Fuck off.
Mon 05:53:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Been bouncing some checks? Fuck off.
Mon 05:54:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Basically, they want a certain type of person to succeed and get ahead, and everyone else can fuck right off.
Mon 05:54:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Suicide rate is going up. There's reasons.
Mon 05:55:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ People hit the bottom, or near the bottom, like me.
Mon 05:55:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They put a gun in their mouth. Guns are cheap.
Mon 05:55:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Guns are everywhere.
Mon 05:55:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You can buy a gun cheaper than you can buy a week's worth of Trump groceries.
Mon 05:56:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] where is the buick?
Mon 05:56:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You know what Trump Groceries are right? They're running a sale. You pay for three of them, you only get one.
Mon 05:56:31 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] did it add to a score?
Mon 05:56:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Not really. It gets Mandy to work so he can complain about work.
Mon 05:57:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So that he can bitch and moan about having a bed and a roof, and food that's not his dad murdering a dog in the back yard.
Mon 06:08:05 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] what else can i say?
Mon 06:19:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ *shrugs*
