Yes, good to know. They kept things under the EIN until it went unpaid, then they switched to my SSN. That got my attention, of course, and I've learned a lot since then.
Millions of visitors a month, and millions of registered users (not the same set, only a fraction of the visitors in a given month are registered). Freemium model. I'll post another question next Sunday on how to monetize, as now I see that perhaps that should have been the first question. Not that we haven't worked over the issue a million times, but we haven't had fresh perspectives at all.
It is because of my 800 credit score that the cards in my name were upped automatically. Too much of a good thing! It is now 590.
Thanks for the inspiration! Just knowing recovery is possible is half of the mental battle. I look forward to making such encouraging words myself at some point in the future.
Too late for investors I think. And it wasn't so much the wrong business per se, we didn't shift when the market did, and later we didn't give up when we should have.
Yeah. Funny thing though, in all my life I've never had a resume, always things found me. It doesn't feel like it will be that way now, but I Aldo understand that I'm having some very strong feelings at the moment. I'm not much of one to hold on to them too long though. perhaps to a fault. I'll be refreshed by new year, but want to burn through all the dark parts now and leave as much behind as I can.
Sell might be an option. One of those things where there was an offer a while back, perhaps they will take it for a song. But otherwise, how to go about it?
There is another important lesson: you can't get business loans or credit cards (the big culprit here) without personally signing for it. BUT: there is probably some point in time that changes, and you should be on top of things and cancel the original. Too late now.
I wasn't being sarcastic. It is just not an easily monitizable space.
It is $150 total, but the way credit was signed up, almost all of it is guaranteed by me. I am looking into consolidation (and partial forgiveness), that might make it entirely mine and that might just be worth it. Take full responsibility and take full action.
