Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hi There, Sorry that I haven't emailed you since last week - it has been a horrific couple of weeks since Wednesday August 27, 2008. Not only did I have my bank account completely wiped out of all of my 3042.58 by a collection agency who was collecting on my $30,000 Student Loan debt, there is nothing that can be done about it. I went to the free legal aid society on August 29th who thus referred me to the law line and when they called me back they made out like it was my fault for having all of my life savings taken away from me like that. I even went to a mental health advocate for my troubles and they too told me there is nothing that can be done to get all of my money back. I really thought my loans were forgiven - but I guess they are not. What a nightmare I am in! To top it off, I went to get a crisis grant from the government On Tuesday September 2, 2008 and all they would give me was $20 for food for the month on September. They won't give me money to cover my portion of the rent unless I get an eviction notice - in other words, my situation doesn't count as a crisis!! Now, I get a few more letters this week - one from the tax people saying that they are withholding all future gst tax credits and future tax refunds until my loan is 100% paid off. Plus, another letter wanting me to pay $499 by September 13, 2008. How am I going to pay it? I have no money in the bank, I am on disability and the next payment of $906.42 doesn't come until the last Wednesday of every month which gets deposited in my bank account! I could use some financial help in helping me to solve this problem. If there is any money that my Opa left behind for me, I could really, really REALLY use the funds post haste. Yesterday, when I was coming home from an appointment in Coquitlam (for job search) I realized that I forgot my house keys at home (for the first time in nearly 20 years) on the top shelf of my book case. I had to call home and then my mommy at work from a police place near my house. Luckily for me the basement door was open and I was able to get in via that route. A few hours later a policeman knocks on the door demanding that I let him in because he is in uniform. That really got me shook up quite well. It has something to do with a 911 call that he thought I made, thinking our street was 30th Avenue and not 40th. I want this whole couple of weeks to just disapear on me right now. I am in pure, living hell. I have read your emails and when I have longer internet access, I will reply to your emails.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Tara, Please, if you melt down so that you remember two things: (1) Stay alive, and (2) Stay where no NT will think you are crazy, and take you away. you are not crazy, just really hurting right now. Why lose your freedom over it? If you get to the bank the day your check is deposited, you may be able to get it before your creditors, but otherwise, your best strategy is to change banks immediately. Do not tell y our old bank where your new one is, or use your old bank to get the new one. Take a few dollars, get a new account, and direct D. that disability check there. Then, the day it arrives, get the money out, and move it elsewhere. Pay bills at once, with money orders. keep some for food and necessities, in a plastic baggie that you keep on your person, unless your parents' home is safe. If you are evicted, you do not want to lose it. What can these peole do? Take tax refunds? Then calculate more carefully, so that you will have to pay in, but not very much, at the end of the year. that will buy time to figure out what to do. Stay alive! Stay free! You are important to me and to many others. Money is not life.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hi... I understand about horrific. Hasn't been a great past couple of weeks myself, but I'm looking at things from a positive point of view. One person from this group knows about my current situation more in full (and I've chosen to leave it that way), and is one of a few people who are advising me on my path/journey. I am working through the New York Times best seller, " What Color Is Your Parachute? " (2008 edition), to help guide me on my search. Things are getting better, and I've got a good gut feeling something's about to crack open soon. > > Hi There, > > Sorry that I haven't emailed you since last week - it has been a horrific couple of weeks since Wednesday August 27, 2008. > > Not only did I have my bank account completely wiped out of all of my 3042.58 by a collection agency who was collecting on my $30,000 Student Loan debt, there is nothing that can be done about it. > > I went to the free legal aid society on August 29th who thus referred me to the law line and when they called me back they made out like it was my fault for having all of my life savings taken away from me like that. > > I even went to a mental health advocate for my troubles and they too told me there is nothing that can be done to get all of my money back. > > I really thought my loans were forgiven - but I guess they are not. > > What a nightmare I am in! > > To top it off, I went to get a crisis grant from the government On Tuesday September 2, 2008 and all they would give me was $20 for food for the month on September.
