Phone shut off

My phone was due to get shut off. We had unexpected bills come up. I thought I had paid enough to keep it on, but obviously not.

I worked my butt off last week and was able to borrow enough to pay half of the bill. And because I did so, the phone company gave me a one week extension. So I have to this Friday to come up with the last $95.

I have checks from work coming, but they won't be here for another 3 weeks, so that doesn't help.

If it gets disconnected, it'll be an extra $200 in reconnect fees. I can't afford that.

What makes things worse, is I've been working online. So when it gets shut off I'm going to loose 1/3 of my income, which means things are going to get further behind.

I've tried asking my dad or friends just to loan me the money til my checks come in, but no one seems to have it. I even tried taking out a payday loan, but was turned down. They won't loan you less than $100 and I refuse to take out a loan that is for more than I need.

What a mess.

Very Discouraged

I just wanted to let you know you're in my prayers. I can at least afford that right now.

I too was turned down at Modest Needs, but I'm going to apply again. There's not much else I can do.

 Take care.

Not sure I'll make it

am disabled, have been the last 5 years. I'm an adult survivor of child abuse, which has left me with long lasting health problems.

Because of a paperwork mix up, I've lost my insurance and my disability has been cut. My phone and electric are due to be shut off. I'm trying to raise the $200 I need to keep them on.

On top of everything else, a dear friend of mine has passed away. Because she has no other family but me, I've been making her arrangements. The funeral isn't paid for yet, we're about $135 short on that. I've been trying to sell anything I can, Kathy deserves so much better than she's getting.

I'm not sleeping or eating. And I can't go to the doctor (it'll take months to straighten all this out), which means I'm now off my medications. Things are a mess.

I'll take all the prayers or positive energy I can get.

Trying to recover from identity theft...

To my horror, my identity has been stolen. They wiped out my bank account, taking everything I had.

Everything is such a mess. The checks for all of the household bills have bounced. I've never had a check bounce before.

My bank has been as unhelpful as possible. Had they stopped the theif when I brought the first charge to their attention, none of this would have happened.

In the meantime, my mortgage is now over 50 days late. My heat, electric, water, and telephone are all on the verge of discounnect.

I'm disabled and only get a check once a month. But I fear I'm never going to be caught up from all of this.

This "person" has already done over $1200 worth of damage.

I just want to keep my home and keep the power on.

I could make payments on a small loan if someone is just willing to help me out. $900 would pay everything until I can get this mess straightened out with the bank. I can give referrences or what ever you need.

I can be reached at ravensangel@yahoo.com (this is also my paypal account address).

Thanks.
