I have a story I wanted to pass on to you! We received our first credit card solicitation call since becoming debt free.
This is how the conversation went:
The gentleman on the other side: “Hello Mrs. Guess what, you have qualified to receive the Visa Platinum Card with a low interest rate and……” (me kindly interupting), “well, we are actually debt-free and we would like to keep it that we so we are not intrested.”
Gentleman: “Oh, okay, well this card has a balance transfer of 1.9% to help you finish (excuse me finish or transfer??) paying off your debts.”
Me: “I’m sorry, you probably didn’t hear me…but we are debt free and we would like to keep it that way.”
Gentleman: “Oh, ok…….(pause).”
Me: “Thanks anyway, and have a great day!! (click)”
Wow, that felt good – and what better excuse to not get another card…..being debt-free and wanting to keep it that way! I left him response-less on the other line 😉
Soon, we will start sharing our “deep-in-debt to debt-free” story, but wanted to share that with you! Stay tuned…..
