Right, and we don't even know what the cause is yet. I have been vaping for about nine years now. If you look through my comment history you'll what side of this issue I'm on.

Think it through; there is a constant stream of vacationers, all booked in advance. How long do you continue to operate while not taking new bookings? You're losing money every day and you literally cannot fly planes around without cas

How do you continue to fly airplanes around when you're bankrupt? I don't think "winding down" is much of an option for an operation like this.

Mistakes happen, but I obviously have no idea. You have to chose your battles. If you want to fight the credit bureaus then go for it, more power to you. Most of us, myself included, don't have the time, energy, or desire. I'd rat

You're correct; it drops off your credit report after 7 years, but the debt itself doesn't go away. The solution here is to do what one of the posters above me said to do. Dispute the claim, inform the collector that they are goin

Yes, because it's better than the alternative (ruining the credit rating of your ten year old, something they'll have to fix 8+ years from now). A perfect solution doesn't always exist. In this case it's very unlikely th

I don't believe that to be true but, in this case, it's a parent opting their ten year old out of it. The point is that this can be resolved to their benefit. Instead, they would rather scream about it being unfair. No one cares;

But the expert consensus at the time was that the (now known to be problematic) course of treatment was correct. Do you have evidence that there was evidence to the contrary during the relevant period of time?

Sure, depends on what type of game you like to play too. VR WoW would be a disaster though. The input scheme is too complex and you typically zoom way out to see what's going on around you. I don't see how that could work.
