back in the day (ok, before hubby and when i was old enough to know better but was still stupid) i ran up some debt. i have never gotten myself the credit reports to fix it. each time i have tried i have gotten a standard 'we can't give you that information, you suck' type of screen. well today i finally bit the bullet and did my best to get my reports. transunion wouldn't give me one and neither would equifax. i called transunion because this time the screen said 'you dont suck that bad call us and we'll help you out'. basically i ended up with the 'you are so screwed and we cant help after all' to get it. then the guy goes 'try experian they are usually the easiest one to get' so back i go trying to get my report. and this time BINGO. got it. it wasn't as bad as i was expecting but still bad enough to put a permanent knot in my tummy for the rest of the day. it is all medical bills. i thought they couldn't put those on your report. then i remembered, 'umm yes they can if they have been sent to a collection agency'. i tried to get the hospital to work with me and got the 'ooooh you waited too long we cant help you *cackle*' attitude. so i looked up 'debt consolidation' to see if i could figure out what the heck to do. today i have an appointment (in a little less than an hour) to try and help me out. hopefully they won't pull other reports that say 'hey, that other one forgot all of this *cackle*' and they will actually be able to help me. i don't make that much and i just want my credit to be fixed. at this point in my life i want to be able to get a house. with my credit i probably wouldn't qualify for a loan, even with the hubbys stellar credit. *sigh* (it isn't as bad as im making it sound, im basically 7k in debt -unless something else is found- and it has been sitting since probably about 1999, see, told you all i waited tooooooooooo long to fix this). i just hope it goes well. *crosses fingers and toes*
life has been okay other than that above, kind of. being inbetween contracts is no fun. and then when you think you have a potential one and they keep putting off a start date, well...it's no fun. the trip to socal was loads of fun. the hubbys birthday (may 9th) should be good. was able to find him a present yesterday after much of a headache trying to figure out what to get him. i'm still collecting the coke points but already cashed out for the PSP. i haven't played it too much. it now has been fixed so we can use "homebrew". took a while to find a GTA: Liberty City Stories that was unpatched but we did. (only $18 *happydances*) well, i better start getting things ready for the appointment.
take care lovelies *huggles*
edit: so we went. it was a lot better than expected. i was off on my calculations by a lot. it is less than 7k. i just need to get another report. once that is done i have to get ahold of the collection agency that has most of the debt and have them send me a formal letter of what is exactly owed. so hopefully it will all work out. yay.
i've mentioned how i basically "stalk" a thread on a forum to get coke codes when they are given out. the people that have extra codes hand them out in various ways. what i do not understand is why if someone takes the code they can't just say 'thank you, got the code'. most of the time the regulars end up going 'redeemed, not by me. thanks for the code anyways' or something to that extent. it seems like common courtesy is missing. i do my best to remember to say thank you when i get or don't get something from the thread. mostly because i believe it is very nice of the people there to give out the codes that they can use themselves to get something. i also dont get why when someone mentioned one of the prizes they redeemed their codes for one of the 'newer' members of the thread jumped on them and basically said it was stupid to spend that kind of point amount on what they got. (they got a free 12pk of coke for 100pts) but, it was the persons choice. one member is very kind and she gets items to give away to the childrens hospital by her home. it is up to everyone to pick what they want. with our points i turned them into Sony giftcards. and a few days ago we went to Valley Fair and turned those gift cards into my new PSP and a game. (cost $70 out of pocket for $210 w/o tax worth of items) i'm very happy with what i did with our points. but if i would have wanted to spend it on free cokes or other things people should be happy for me that i got what i wanted. i just wish there was more gratitude and appreciation out there. it seems like sometimes you just see the greedy. anyways, that is all for now. hope you are all having lovely weekend. take care lovelies. *huggles*
i think i have become obsessed/addicted to this mycokerewards thing. i am now hanging out on a website where some of the members give out their extra codes through trivia and things. i've gotten about 20 extra points this way. they are great people and all too. i just need to get to the 1k in coke points and then i can get my psp and be done with the whole thing. *giggle* maybe it's just silliness on my part. i don't even know why i really want one other than to play Ratchet&Clank: Size Matters. i also know that trying to get enough points to pay for a PS3 is way out of my league.
the obsession/addiction has gotten so bad i've been asking all my friends to be on the lookout for the codes and send them my way. ugh. it needs to stop. *shakes head*
today we walked approximately 5 miles (round trip). this was after i took a few hours to actually get some work done. hopefully i will catch up again. i tend to get a few days behind and end up doing a whole catch up dance. so we walked about 5 miles today and it was fun. the starfishy and i went over to the walmart/traderjoes/game stop shopping center and then walked up to el camino and walked over to castro street. i found a book i had really been wanting. at bookbuyers. (the one in the picture, it was a recommendation from Karsten and I know it's going to be good.) they didn't have the other one but now i know where to look when we go back. i think i deserved to spend $8 on a book. *giggle*. i haven't been mood swinging so much. my body is finally getting used to the lower blood sugar levels. yay. :) on our walks (we've had more than a few lately) i have been on the lookout for coke caps. the little red caps with the codes inside of them. also on the lookout for the code flaps from the 12pks with the codes on them. i've been trying to save enough of the 'my coke rewards' points to get a PSP. i'm about halfway there. so, if any of you drink coke but don't collect the rewards please throw them my way. i'd appreciate it. i found out that the codes are going to come to the Dasani water bottles soon. (as well as a few other coke products) which will be great when we drink water on our walks. hopefully tomorrow our bean bag chair will be here. (the one i won from SDExpo West) they missed us on friday. thought it would be here today and it wasn't. hope you are all having a good week and had a good weekend. take care lovelies *huggles*
