There are many things that can generate fear: dentists, nervous pilots, lutefisk (as this guy’s facial expression will demonstrate), clowns and above all, clowns who perform dentistry. For Auto dealers, the CFPB does not need to be one of those fearful things.
Compli Cares just finished our quarterly volunteer event and I must say, it was an exhausting, but incredibly fruitful experience. We were lucky to assist Neighborhood House in their mission to bring neighbors together to reduce hunger and homelessness.
I was an “I can argue that” kind of kid in grade school. Oftentimes, when filling out a multiple choice test, I would actually write that line next to a question I thought was ambiguous. Of course, none of my teachers were ever impressed by this, nor did they ever jump at the chance to […]

I don’t hurt for opinions. You can ask any of my coworkers, family members, past friends, perhaps even casual passersby’s on the street, anyway, you get the idea.
