Okay, life. You win. I give up.

The account has had a hold on it thanks to those bastards at Jacobs Realty since January. Since Janurary, the account has ready nearly 8 grand in the hole because of it. Well, Monday was the last day for the hold. After now spending two days on the phone with the bank, come to find *even with* the hold taken off, we're still about 1500 dollars in the hole thanks to some spurious sounding crap about "accumulated fees".

So where does this leave your faithful correspondent? I now can no longer take the apartment I was going to, it's a week untii payday and I'm broker than a broke thing. It means I still have to pay for this hotel room somehow. But worse possibly than any of that is I have to somehow come up with 400+ by Friday or we lose everything we've got in the storage shed. Fool that I am, I actually trusted those bastards at Landmark and loo what it's gotten me. I can't even pass the PayPal hat because that account is fubar'd thanks to all this muck and I never did get my replacement debit card from them anyway.

And oh yes - the lawyer we were so keen on, the one that was going to save our asses? Turns out hes in the process of getting disbarred. He was taking money from clients and doing nothing but continuing cases.

So barring a minor miracle of good will and/or financial luck, I am most thoroughly screwed.

That's awful. I'm so sorry.

Can you create a free email address and a new Paypal account for it? Get a paycheck advance (from your employer, not from one of those evil loan companies)? Any friends you can stay with for a while so you're not paying for a hotel?

As far as PayPal goes, see my reply to Bill. As far as friends go, I could probably arrange something but my biggest concern right now is saving that storage shed and everything inside it. My life work aka my music collection is in there, my clothes, all Ranada's stuff, everything we had not in her car or this room.

If enough people are willing/able to chip in, I'm happy to be a collection point for donations and call the storage facility to make a payment.

*crickets chirp* Exactly one reply since yesterday. Crap, crap, crap. Well, it's not tomorrow yet.

LJ's been pretty hosed all day; this is the first time I've been able to access it.

[docwebster.livejournal.com]

Still nothing. No chance at all you still could, I suppose? I mean, I realize likely not but this is a situation I pretty much have to ask.

[rosefox]

I really wish I could but we're pretty skint here right now. I just realized our budget was off--in the wrong direction--and we've been way overspending, plus the State of New York thinks I owe them thousands in back taxes and I'm not sure how much it's going to cost me to convince them that they're wrong.

[docwebster.livejournal.com]

In a word - shit. For both of us. Hokay, going to have to do some real fast talking and hope I can convince them to.. something, I'm not even sure what.

[rosefox]

No chance of getting a payday advance from your employer?

[docwebster.livejournal.com]

Just got off the phone with U-Haul. Far too much to explain, but all is well. *deep sigh of relief*

[rosefox]

Hooray! So glad to hear it.

So, did the money people sent to your existing PayPal account get transferred out of it into your bank account? Or is it still in PayPal Limbo?

[docwebster.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's out and used long since - had to be - for legal fees, hotel expenses and related nonsense while we were trying to get out from this mess and *just* when it did run way low *Bam* that damn block, lien, whatever you want to call it so here we are, five months in and standing to lose everything we own not in the car or in this room, not to mention possibly losing the room all because this has to happen at the precisely half way point until the next paycheck.

I should hasten to add we're suppose to get *back* all the money that shyster screwed us out of, but that's going to take more time than we've got. And setting up a new PayPal account depends on a bank account being available plus the debit card getting here would take longer than we've got to pull this off.

Have you gone through all the emergency public services options yet?

[harabise.livejournal.com]

Gosh, I’ve been looking about this specific topic for about an hour, glad i found it in your website!

[henaiota.livejournal.com]

For some reason, I can’t see all of this content, stuff keeps hiding? Are you taking advantage of java?

Sheesh I never saw this and I kept LOOKING

[disgruntledgrrl.livejournal.com]

Seriously I try to keep my eye peeled for this.
Fuckberries. I would have suggested bringing your stuff over here.

Give me list of the music collection - not all but key items - and I'll scour ebay to see if anything crops up.

PM it.
