A wholesale dealer who had a lot of trouble in getting a certain retailer to pay his bills finally lost patience and wrote the merchant a threatening letter.

He received the following reply: "Dear Sir: What do you mean by writing me a letter like that? Every month I place all my bills in a hat and then figure out how much money I have to pay on my accounts. Then I have my bookkeeper draw as many bills out of the hat as I have money to pay. If you don't like my way of doing business, I won't even put your bills in the hat."

-- Be sure to pay off your high-priced Credit Card debt first, or as soon as sensibly possible. The average American is currently burdened with $9,000.00 worth of outstanding credit card debt. If he were to pay this balance off at the minimum rate of 2% outstanding each month, it would take 47-years to pay it off and he would have paid a huge whopping $24,000 in additional Finance Charges. That's $33,000 to pay off $9,000!!

How consumers were deceived. Consumerinfo.com and freecreditreport.com advertised "free credit reports," but failed to inform consumers that they were automatically signing up for credit report monitoring services and would be charged $79.95 if they did not cancel within 30 days. The FTC also charged that the web site freecreditreport.com failed to inform consumers that it was not associated with the official annual free credit report program established by recent amendments to the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Date: Friday, November 18, 2011 4:11 PM

 Good Morning. I am the owner of TSB Sales Development. My website is www.tsbsales.net. I represent many small inventors and single sku manufacturers into catalogs, etail and retail. I have a booth at the International Housewares Show in Chicago every March. I also have impeccable references and would like to talk to any inventors who have products that are already produced and available. Products can range from electronics, kitchen items, bath, health, etc. To see my line, please visit the website.

We work on a 15% on the wholesale of the product and get paid after you do. I would appeciate it if there is interest that you disseminate this information to your members.

Please give us a call or an email if you are interested. Ask for Connie or Laura.

thanks so much

-- Many consumers are confused by the coming digital TV transition. Much of what they are learning is just plain wrong and could end up costing them money.

-- Pay attention, or it will cost you.

-- According to a Consumers Union survey, some people think they need to buy new equipment when they don't, and others say they don't plan on taking any steps to deal with the change when they should. If consumers are confused about the digtal TV transition, it may cost them a lot of money for equipment they may not want or need.

-- Starting February 18, 2009, [Extended to June 12, 2009] full power TV stations in the U.S. will turn off their old-technology analog signals and broadcast only in a digital format, potentially leaving millions of TVs displaying nothing but snow.

-- Most consumers--anyone whose TV is hooked up to a cable or satellite service or owns a digital set now--will not be affected. But anyone who owns an older TV that gets its signal via antenna will need a converter box, which the government will help pay for through a coupon program.

-- As of December 2007, the Nielsen Co. reported that 13.5 million TV households, or about 12%, rely on over-the-air television broadcasts for programming.

-- What do you need to do?

-- If you're one of the 82% who get your TV programming from a cable satellite company or already own a digital TV, then you don't need to do anything. If, however, you are in the 12% minority, read on.

-- If you receive over-the-air broadcasts, you have three choices:
*Purchase a new TV with digital tuner
*Subscribe to a cable or satellite service
*Purchase a digital converter box

-- How do I know if I have an analog or digital TV?

-- If your TV has a digital tuner, then it will work after February 17, 2009. The best way to determine this is to consult your owner's manual. If that is not possible, you may be able to look up the information on the manufacturer's website. Or, look at your TV set to see if it has an input connection labeled "digital input" or "ATSC" (for Advanced Television Systems Committee, which is the digital TV format).

--What is the TV Converter Box Coupon Program?

--> > TV converter box coupons start flowing again.--> > --> > --> >
-- Congress created the TV Converter Box Coupon Program for households wishing to keep their analog TV sets after February 17, 2009. < <-- < <--

-- Each U.S. houshold is elegible for two coupons, regardless of whether they have pay-television service or not. The coupon can be applied toward the cost of eligible converter boxes. To request a coupon, consumers can apply online at www.dtv2009.gov or call the 24-hour hotline at 1-888-DTV-2009 (1-888-388-2009). -- ["Ask Joe" The Computer Guy; Visit www.EricksonTribune.com for more "Ask Joe" columns.]
