You know, even after our bankruptcy, I still receive a lot of email and correspondence about debt relief, debt settlement, and even get periodic newsletters and “tweets” from some of the credit bureaus. Usually, I will skim through it just out of curiosity. Other times I just discard it. Well, after reading for the “umpteenth” [...]

So much has changed since my last post. I don’t know where to start. I have been meaning to keep up with it all here but these past few weeks I have been, well um, going through a lot. A mixture of  family stuff(hey-I am a mother of a teenage girl-need I say more?lol) and [...]

I am happy to post that we get ZERO calls from creditors or collection agencies. The threatening letters also stopped immediately too. Just going to my P.O. Box to get the mail would leave my stomach in knots-now I don’t cringe at the thought of going there. It already feels like a huge weight has [...]

Work has been really slow for my husband lately-really slow. He finally had a talk with the owner of the main company he subcontracts for and asked him straight out how the workload was. He was told work should pick up but there are no guarantees. He was offered a little more money for the [...]

I don’t know why but the collection calls started to get of hand again. They got very light but now all of a sudden, we are getting 100′s of calls a day again. It is insane! Another problem I am seeing is Honda. I am getting letters now demanding payment for the car that was [...]

Well guys, after raiding my Winnie The Pooh Piggy Bank this weekend-I realized more than ever that something has got to give. I went and cashed in my “spare change” to buy groceries because we were broke until Tuesday and wanted to make sure NOTHING bounced. My bank will never see another returned check and [...]

Hello world. Hope everyone is having a good week. I have been working my 6 days again. Not great for the body or mind but will get me a fatter check at the end of the week. I need to get this lawyer paid off and working these hours should help. I am putting every ounce of [...]

When I wrote my last post last week, I said no more negativity in my life. I am only going to think POSITIVE POSITIVE POSITIVE. When you decide to live your life that way, you notice the negativity that surrounds you everyday. Monday morning I went into work with such a burst of energy and [...]

We got our first collection letter. It was for my husband’s Washington Mutual card. That was quick. He just stopped paying them in January. He has started to give all his creditors the attorney’s phone number. I don’t think the attorney realized when he told us to forward all our creditor calls to him that we had 22 creditors! I haven’t [...]

Well, I think this week is my low week. The company that wrote my husband bad checks was doing damage control because of the “anonymous” email that went out about them not paying. They called hubby and assured him the “checks were in the mail”. That was Monday. It is now Friday and still no checks. [...]
