May 05, 2005 15:40

Most of you know I've been "gotten" by identity thieves twice now, and I'm always looking for more information on it. I went to a seminar yesterday on Fraud and Identity Theft (unfortuately I've got to be well informed about this stuff for work) and brought back some info I think folks might be interested in ( Read more... )

This information is really useful. While "I" have not had problems with fruad, David has. It took us months to deal with it all, and years for his credit to recover.

I look forward to seeing you in July. I hope things are going well for you and Jeff.

9. I happened into this job by accident (like most people in credit management do). The company needed an honest dependable credit manager in a hurry and they knew I was looking for a job. I have an accounting background, but a lot of people just fall into credit management as a careeer without formal training.

10. Advantages: Everyday is different, you don't really have a daily drudgery, and you do so many different things that is it always interesting. Disadvantages: Sometimes dealing with customers is frustrating, particularly whtn they won't pay their bills in a timely fashion.

11. Required, no, available, yes. NACM provides education for those who want it, and have three levels of national cerification that you can test for to achieve. The certifications tell employers that you know your stuff, and keep up on the latest laws and information.

12. www.nacm.org is your best point to start with, and they have links on their site to local affiliates.

13. Yes, I really enjoy my job.

Hi. This is Tim. You are a friend of Holly's and I've probably met you. I've added you to my friend's list because we have something peculiar in common: We both attended Evergreen High School.

Had I graduated from there (I moved to Tumwater my senior year), I would have been class of 1990.

wild! it is a small world. You've been added back. (We met at Jenga's wedding (I had a precarious hat with feathers perched on my head.))
