Any Contractors Sighn Contract With Advertising Program And Got Nailed
Sorry for the confusion.. There,s any other Contractors got into an advertising program such Blue Book , Yellow Pages , Dex ..under contract and can not quit? That,s what i did. Got into Blue BOOK ..I,M PAYING $ 400 / MONTH. No jobs came from there in the last 7 months, I,m working hard but still pay the Blue Book. I,m spending hours make Bid-Proposals for GC and got nothing.Stop this advertising will affect my credit or Company Credit...? or how things work when you quit a program like this.? Any opinion ? Thank you.

Re: Any Contractors Sighn Contract With Advertising Program And Got Nailed
I have a couple of times, and paid off my contracts. Live and learn.
Sucks, but you did sign up. Like last week ATT offered to upgrade me to a internet phone, for free! Fine print said automatic new 2 year contract on all 4 phones if I did that, so I passed.

Re: Any Contractors Sighn Contract With Advertising Program And Got Nailed
Stick to FREE listings it's cheaper and if you get enough of them it might get you the same traffic as a paid Ad. I found two so far that were absolutley no money and seem to be quality sites.
I can spend lot's more than free and still not get a call! |

Re: Any Contractors Sighn Contract With Advertising Program And Got Nailed
It's obvious english is not your first language. I have heard it is the hardest language to learn. I applaud your efforts. You are operating a a distinct disadvantage in this country.
I think you are asking if it is possible to get out of your contract with Blue Book, Yellow Pages, ect. If so, I would say your chances are slim to none. If you want to give up your phone number I would say it might be possible. Since it is your phone number that is the necessary component. Maybe others can chime in |

Re: Any Contractors Sighn Contract With Advertising Program And Got Nailed
I think it's very presumptuous to assume the gentleman doesn't speak english. He may be from Detroit and drive a Ford with an american flag as a decal, you don't know.
I would say he isn't very familiar with the keyboard, but wouldn't make the assumption the dude is Chinese or a Canuck(j/k)!!

Re: Any Contractors Sighn Contract With Advertising Program And Got NailedQuote:
Contractor69... If I remember correctly I gave you some very helpful information(or so I thought) in your other topic about bluebook... And honestly, unless you are a Chinese Canuck, I don't see what would bother you so?? In these tough times, it's good to sit back and have a laugh..breath in, breath out...breath in, breath out And with the economy the way it is, you should change your name to "Contractor96"....because the cost of eating out has gone up!

We also have freedom of speech, I believe they were excercising that freedom. Just hang out and have a good time here, there are a lot of real helpful and good people here, you will see. Next time you start over in a new country, try to take more than $1.
