erin, $15k sounds like what I would expect for what you're having done, and I still think it's a good idea.
askye, what Liese said. Also, if you pay them by check, keep a copy of the cancelled check when you get it (showing both the back and the front) so you can prove that you paid them and they accepted the payment. If you pay by credit or debit card, make a copy of the statement where the charge shows up. Then contact all three credit reporting agencies, in writing, show them the proof of payment, and request that the item be removed from your report. It will likely take them a while. Check on it the next couple years, to make it stayed off your report, and keep all those records just in case.
This happened to me with an IRS lien that took me ten years after it was paid off to get it to stop showing up as still outstanding on my report. If one of the agencies doesn't take it off, the others may pick it back up from their report. It's a PITA. Good luck, hope it goes smoothly for you!
Guess who almost passed out at the gym? Woo. I'm talking woozy dizzy seeing spots cold sweat. After walking around the track VERY slowy for 12 minutes or so. I had to lie down on an exercise mat, and the only way I could convince the nice people who work at the gym to NOT call Tim to come get me was to drink a big thing of Gatorade and eat a snickers bar. After about 10 minutes, when I apparently no longer looked like a zombie (that's a direct quote), they let me drive home (which is less than 5 minutes away).
I had more Gatorade when I got home, and Tim is making eggs for me right now (protein to balance out the sugar load). Fuck, you guys, I have NO idea what the hell that was all about. But I don't like it at all.
And I am lying on the couch, so recumbent that I don't even have the laptop, but am just poking out posts on the iTouch (which is pretty easy, really).
{{{Teppy}}} Are you feeling ok now?
Umm... I'm thinking you can think of enough things without my help, Steph. But I am glad you ar e home and feeling better
Just tired. Monday was my first day back at the gym in over 6 weeks. All I did then, like today, was mosey around the track for 12 minutes. I don't think I overdid it, but maybe I didn't eat properly today (I had pancakes for lunch). I can see I need to get back into a better meal routine on gym days (if that was the problem; that's only a guess on my part).
My plans for the rest of the night are: (1) eat eggs, and (2) loaf.
Geez, Steph. That's unsettling. Rest and feel better!
Hope you feel better Steph. I had a rough night at the gym last night, it was a real fight to make it through my workout. Not passing out bad like you experienced, but just a real nasty slog to get through my batch of cardio.
Maybe a blood sugar drop? (disclaimer: not a doctor) I've had similar happen, but if I have a piece of fruit (generally a banana) before I work out, I don't have those sudden energy crashes.
((Teppy)) Hope you feel better.
Thanks for the information. I'll try to contact them, I can't pay it off immediately but maybe I can work out something.
I also need to figure out why 1 store card account is showing up three times with three different amounts as showing all paid off around the same time. I should have done this a long time ago but I'm still breaking my of Ignore it And it Will go away approach to problems.
