Portland

A chapter from my book.

I decided, after a trip to Portland, where I was interviewed and offered a job, to look into purchasing a duplex.I knew the answer was likely to be no, but I wanted to see how far away I was. I wanted to know what needed to happen to make it happen.

Plugging in income with the job I had been offered (16/hr.,pt), in combination with theorectical income from the other side of the duplex, I was told more or less that I needed to have way better income to make it happen.

I had this conversation at the Portland airport, waiting for my flight to start boarding.I noticed an individual acting suspicious, and doing something very secretive on their computer.

I got home later that evening, and had noticed that my credit had dropped significantly (116 points). I called my bank, thinking someone stole my identity. They had no idea, so I called Experion, who told me Sallie Mae was the debtor.This made no sence because it was my understanding that they had been paid off, and I had been given evidence that this was the case.I had received no phone call, letter, or e-mail notifying me of this debt I supposedly owed.

This call lead me to the Dept. of Education. If I didn’t look the number up online, I would have thought I had become the victim of a scam. I learned I owed 1k in student loans.I was told that I was never notified, because supposedly, during Biden’s administration they made contacting people about loans due illgal?

I said they were paid and I had proof. They insisted I owed them money, and it would only gain interest unless I paid them. The flavor of this was “grift” with fear,threats, and intimidation ( on brand, and the flavor of a certain administration).I capitualted and paid them, and the representative I was on the phone with told me I ought to watch my credit, so it doesn’t happen again. I asked how it could happen again, if this was the last of what I owed.Her response was an ominous “ well you never know.”

I contacted a credit attorney, and he told me that he “ did not fight with the government.”He told me to just pay it off.

I recently came across a website allowing one to be notified of money owed to them by various crediters, and much to my surprise, the Art Insitute owed me money. It said “1.8”, which I took to mean 1.8 million, because I have been manifesting a 3 million dollar home I pay cash for. The Art Institute was sued and owed students money back on top of student loan forgiveness being a thing during that presidential administation, which I totally qualified for.

It was not 1.8 million. It was $1.80. Nonetheless, I was owed in fact, which further causes me to question the validity of that entire interaction.

Purchasing a duplex would have giveen me financial stability and financial power.Someone didn’t want that, and I question why.This was not the flavor of an administration with qualified,unbiased professionals.This was the flavor of a very biased, convinced,poorly educated, triangulated, completely incompetent, unquestioning administration.

Why threaten me? Why did my credit drop after my conversation with a mortgage company?
