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.

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?

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.
