I'm Irate

I am currently attending a highly technical training at work. Late last week, my debtors called me and said it was imperative that i attend a meeting with them this week. Knowing christmas is around the corner and they would probably 'wet my beak' before, i decided to dart away from my morning training and with high spirits traipsed to my debtors office.

The first lady to address us, a rather plain looking woman with laborious english stood up, folded her fingers at the front of her skirt, nervously shifted her weight, and in a monotone started speaking " we are sorry for all the inconvenience we have caused by not paying you up, we had problems.... credit crunch...." the second woman to address us was this rather callous looking, middle aged rotund woman who impassively dropped the bomb ".... however the reason we called you here was to let you know that we have some money coming in, and we hope to push it into the market for profit before we can pay your principal arrears.... and we hope to pay you up by April next year" i did a double take and almost launched a jet of diatribe.

i mean, she calls me plus the rest of the creditors away from our jobs, one week before christmas and opens her beak to cluck 'April?' her audacity is what shocked me the most. Needless to say the rest of the people pummeled her with insults so hideously sounding that its a miracle she stayed standing with her chin up.

She even had the gall to wave a piece of shit paper in our faces with an agreement stipulating that we understand the terms and will wait till April!

After we cooled down a tad, we tried to reason with her, telling her that her organization should at least pay the accrued monthly interest from months gone as agreed in the contract, one installment at least so our christmas can be jocular in the least, but she obstinately insisted, "you know, we are also almost going under, we can not afford to pay interest, but all we can do is to pay your principal and that is not before april..." One of the creditors shot up and almost slapped her.

Disgruntled, we got up and left the office but not before imploring that she calls us monday next week with new acceptable terms.

Anyone knows a good lawyer, or perhaps a loan shark with a distinct talent at breaking legs? holler...
