We will still have 2 more years left on our other card. I can hardly wait to be free from them.<br />
<br />
I did get some relief from a big raise at work. It was eaten up on two more collections. I am a bit nervous because of the low amount of overtime we are getting on our line.<br />
<br />
Right now I am learning how to do facebook apps, working an etsy store, and helping my wife get her candle-embroidery-vinyl shop set up at home. Hopefully these pan out soon.<br />

If you want to apply for grants or any type of assistance, keep all of your financial records handy. <br />
<br />
When you apply for any type of grants or assistance, you will need to have these documents. So dont throw anything away, and keep it organized. THis will help get rid of any headaches and speed up the process.<br />
<br />
I speak from experiance. I have qualifed and applied for a grant through savethedreamohio.gov. I had to search out some of my past tax records. I almost had to start the process over again. If they grant me all I can get, I will have my home equity loan and past due property taxes. <br />
<br />
By the way, I could of gotten up to $35,000. Don't give up and drive on.this is mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01283977336804306505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989028456276245127.post-45546154002493359272013-04-02T14:32:00.001-04:002013-04-02T14:32:26.050-04:00hope never stopsJust recently we received news that several people want to sell our candles. If all goes well we should have a major portion of the debt paid off before the end of the year.<br />
<br />
We are also looking to get help from savethedreamohio. by not filing bankruptcy it looks like we qualify for some help.<br />
<br />
Have a great and blessed day.this is mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01283977336804306505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989028456276245127.post-42737656993398650622013-01-13T11:28:00.000-05:002013-01-13T11:31:34.541-05:00updatesOn Dec 24 we were struck by another car and had our car totaled. This has forced us to start buying another vehicle right away. I was hoping to be out from this debt so we could be paying down some other debts. This should just be setting us back for a little while.<br />
<br />
Over time is way down. It is a bit scary during this time. If I can make it through the winter, I should have a lot of overtime to actually eliminate some debt this year.<br />
<br />
We did have another set back recently. Our hotwater heater was leaking and actually caught fire. It went out quickly, but now we will have to get another one. <br />
<br />
I still see the future with hope. It will just take a lot of hard work.this is mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01283977336804306505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989028456276245127.post-36327289020619717252012-09-17T14:07:00.002-04:002012-09-17T14:07:38.349-04:00Not quite a yearIt's not been quite a year and we are still barely floating. That at times is very depressing, but I can not quit now. We have come so far and I dont want all our hard work to go to waste.<br />
<br />
We have a few more pushing for payments with the courts. I just wish they could of waited 1 more year. That is when the large round of smaller payments will be done. That is my prayer and hope to make it until then.<br />
<br />
They small jobs lasted only a very short time. They were helpfull in getting some bills paid, so they were not a waste of time. I just hope I can get some steady extra work soon.<br />
<br />
I just wanted to let you know out there.

We have closed our one spot and have been fortunate in opening up a store in the busy part of town. By summer we should make a huge dent in that debt. I also have done a little of programming to earn some extra money.<br /><br />I just pray that we can keep up for the next year.this is mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01283977336804306505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989028456276245127.post-1559050508792480792011-04-24T14:06:00.001-04:002011-04-24T15:00:35.565-04:00been awhile<div>Never give up. Everyone say the easy way is just to go <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">bankrupt</span>. We are trying to actually pay the debts because, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">even though</span> there are a lot it is still possible.<br />5<br />I was able to get the collection agency to accept a payment instead of garnishment, because I called soon enough. They even dropped the interest rate to 4% from 29.99% interest.<br /><br />Now everything hinges on me making extra money. That seems to be happening. The first telephone job did not pay anything, but I gained some valuable experience and confidence. Now I am doing some work for someone that is developing websites and other business adventures. I will be starting now at $10 per hour on his new site. As I get experience the pay should go to $15 or more per hour. I would of never gotten to this point if I had just given up. There is work out there, you just have to keep striving for it.<br /><br />The work just does not stop there. When these projects grow enough to bring on others. We can partner to develop our own web sites and should make more money.<br /><br />The journey still will not be easy, but it surely can be done.

For some reason, our emotional reaction is frequently 1 of ambivalence or even acceptance as though having a mountain of debt to credit card businesses is really a part of life and no massive deal.But it is a large deal. When a large portion of your monthly spending budget goes to servicing debt, it's a large deal since that money might be going toward a greater house, a new car or even just for some thing fun for you or your family. Whatever it may possibly get is a lot greater than it just being thrown away as interest on a ridiculously high credit mountain.So as much as we all do strive for peace and keeping a positive attitude about life, to be able to get some motivation to get out there and defeat this monster we call credit card debt, it might be time to get great and angry about the way credit cards deal with our accounts and locate the guts to finally uncover a approach to just up and fire them.Inside the retail world, it is a crime to use false advertising or pull off hat is known as "bait and switch". Bait and switch is really a tactic where they advertise a price for a retail item and then when you get to the store, the price is wrong on the shelf or for some other reason (like, we ran out of the ones at the sale price), they bilk you into paying the non-sale price. That's cheating and it's wrong.Credit organizations are the international grand champions of bait and switch. When they send you those glossy, well worded invitations to low interest, "no cost" credit cards, they have no intention of honoring that offer. Oh certain, they may possibly set up the accounts that way. But in the event you read the fine print of what you are signing when you apply for the card, they retain the correct to change the rules of how your credit bill is handled with out notice and without restrictions. That means that even if they said there will be no annual fee, they can impose 1 and there isn't a darn thing it is possible to do about it.Even far more outrageous is the fact that creditorganizations can and typically do raise the cost of what you are paying for the goods or services you bought utilizing your credit card, once more with out any notice at all. So in case you bought a refrigerator on your credit card which at the time was charging 8% interest, the credit card company can up and raise your interest level to 20% overnight, with no reason for performing so and with no notice to you. So what just happened is they jacked up the price of the refrigerator you bought and you've got to pay it. If that does not get you excellent and mad, well, it should.If you watch how the credit organizations handle your accounts, you are able to tell they are seeking any excuse to raise your rates. If your payment comes in an hour late, they can double your rates. And guess what? They are the ones who figure out if your payment came in late. So in case you mail it a week and a half a head of time, they can still claim it as late and jack up your interest rate and impose a enormous penalty for late payment.It's just incredible and completely outrageous that credit card firms are able to change the rules of how you do enterprise with them with no respect for you as a customer and with no intervention by any federal agency. In fact, the concept that the federal government is in the pockets of the credit card organizations is reinforced over and over once more. Acquiring excellent and mad about credit card debt can mobilize you to do some things which are long overdue. It could be overdue for you to contact your congressman and begin putting them on notice that we aren't going to take this anymore. But it really is certainly overdue for you to see the credit card businesses for what they are and fire them by getting rid of that credit debt once and for all.<br /><br />Bryan Simpson is really a respected author and speaker on a lot of consumer and environmental problems, and now runs a effective media publishing agency.

Abrahamson<br />in <a href="http://goarticles.com/category/finance/">Finance</a> / <a href="http://goarticles.com/category/finance/debt_management/">Debt Management</a> (submitted 2010-11-12)<br />Many of the people that would like to find a debt relief program to help them get out of debt quickly do not understand the importance of finding a good consumer debt relief program. There are thousands of consumer debt relief programs offered by financial companies across the nation and each one is charged with matching each person to the debt relief program that is best for their needs and their financial situation at the time. Finding a good consumer debt relief program is very important to being able to get out of debt and repair your credit for the future.<br />Help with Understanding How the Consumer Debt Relief Program Works<br />The person representing the consumer debt relief program is trained to explain different types of debt relief programs available from the company. The person seeking a debt relief program should know about the different types of programs available and the requirements for each one before determining which program is the best for their needs.<br />The representative can answer any questions that the person may have about what they need to do for the consumer debt relief program and help them find the right type of program for current financial situation. In many cases, a representative offering a credit card debt relief program will contact the person's creditors and try to obtain a lower interest rate by using some of the lesser known tactics of the financial industry.Providing the Steps to Get Out of Debt<br />The consumer debt relief program can also provide the person with the steps that are needed to complete the debt relief program correctly. Most people do not use debt relief programs frequently so they may not understand all of the terms or procedures that are used in the debt relief program.<br />Some debt relief programs have tons of requirements for the person to follow and there may be a lot of personal information that the person will need to provide to the program so that the program can accurately judge the person's ability to repay their debts. The representative of the consumer debt relief program will go over the paperwork with the person and answer any questions they have about the debt relief program requirements or the steps they will need to take to complete the program.<br />A good consumer debt relief program will pride themselves on the relationship that they have with the people in their area and will do all that they can to retain a positive reputation. A consumer debt relief program knows that the loss of reputation from people in the area saying negative things about their services may be something that neither they or their company will be unable to recover from because no one wants to go to a debt relief company that may be cheating their customers or driving them deeper into debt. For this reason, a consumer debt relief program will do their best to match all of their customers to the correct debt relief program for their needs.this is mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01283977336804306505noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989028456276245127.post-41441097346604167562010-08-24T14:43:00.000-04:002010-08-24T14:47:07.824-04:00Just keeping you updated.Things are still pretty rough. It should not be too longer that I can get the card companies to let me make a payment small enough for me to afford. <br /><br />I don't like doing it this way, but we only have so much income coming in at this time. Hopefully soon I can get that dollar raise at work. I think I might be good enough for it. Even if I only get the 50 cent raise I would be grateful. With over time I might get rid of some of the small bills.<br /><br />Have a great day and refuse to give up. If you give up, then there is no hope.this is mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01283977336804306505noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989028456276245127.post-54776543130307798152010-07-06T00:01:00.000-04:002010-07-06T00:08:28.562-04:00Why debt consolidation Loan is a sensible choiceA lot of people are earning less money now than what they used to previously. Inflation rates are at a record high and incessant layoffs are playing an important role in this. No matter what the cause is, plenty of people are searching for solutions to lower their monthly payments. <a href="http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/loan.html ">http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/loan.html </a><br /><br />Debt consolidation loan is offered by a number of companies and is considered as a reasonable option for consumers to alleviate their debt burden.<br /><br />Debt consolidation helps consumers in different ways. By consolidating debts, it is simpler for you to pay off your bills. All your unsecured debts arising from departmental store cards, credit cards, medical bills, telephone bills, personal loans and legal bills are combined together so that rather than issuing multiple checks for various amounts, you just need to send one check for an uniform amount every month.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/">http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/</a><br /><a href="http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/styles/dtcc/img/logo.gif">http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/styles/dtcc/img/logo.gif</a><br /><br />Debt Consolidation Care<br /><br />Debt Consolidation Loan is attractive for consumers since it typically cuts down the interest rates. The interest rates for unsecured loans are normally higher than secured loans. Secured debts are safe since the creditor is furnished with collateral that would work as a security in case there is a default in payment by the debtor. Examples of secured debt payments are car payments and mortgage payments. Since the debt is secured, the creditor can offer a reduced interest rate as the risk of lending is small.<br /> <br />For the credit card consumers, the monthly minimum payments have lately increased twofold. That, together with exorbitant interest rates that are frequently charged on credit cards, is the reason people look for a fixed rate that is offered by a debt consolidation loan. Thus, they know the amount they are obliged to pay every month, which would remain constant. <br />Various loan consolidation products are there to assist consumers in saving money every month. Just discuss with your lender about your requirements. Prior to signing the dotted line, you must ensure that you’re dealing with a reliable agency. A good resource to check this out is the Better Business Bureau (BBB). The feasibility of debt consolidation in your situation is the first thing that you should assess.<br /><br />How much should you borrow?<br /><br />Depending on your income and your monthly expenses, you should take out a mortgage that will enable you to own a home and not prove to be an additional financial burden.<br /><br />Calculate payments on the basis of loan test<br /><br />A loan mortgage calculator will also help you to find out how much you have to pay if you apply for a 15-year mortgage as compared to a 30-year mortgage. The loan term affects payments because in case of 15-year loan term, you pay more each month which is in sharp contrast to a 30-year loan term where you pay less every month.<br /><br /><br />Calculate to find how mortgage interest rate will affect mortgage payments<br /><br />Although the mortgage Annual Percentage Rate doesn’t affect monthly mortgage payments, the mortgage rate of interest does. FRM will allow you to plan your monthly payments in advance as compared to ARM which will make your mortgage payments differ according to changing rates in the mortgage market. Use a loan mortgage calculator to find out the same.<br />Once you are done with the finances, start looking around for a house and a reliable mortgage lender keeping in mind your financial limitations. By doing so, chances of defaulting on your mortgage payments are minimized to a great extent.this is mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01283977336804306505noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989028456276245127.post-5882726770702446592010-04-26T15:33:00.000-04:002010-04-26T15:39:15.756-04:00UpdateThings are still pretty rough. We are still just staying above water with a little help. Our Candle business is not doing much on the retail side, which is not too good. The upside that is we had some very good wholesale sales. We also have the prospect of some more great wholesale sales. If they go through, we should be able to catch up very quickly.<br /><br />I have hope for the future. I do recommend that you search out help, but be willing to work for what ever you get. There is not as much help out there, and there are a lot of leeches out there. By willing to work for it, you will go a lot farther in getting the help you need.<br /><br />I also know that a lot of people recommond keepinbg all you r credit cards. I would say different. You dont need 10 credit cards to get good credit. I can not tell you how many to have, but get the amount so it is lower.this is mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01283977336804306505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989028456276245127.post-80029727556895513472010-03-13T09:12:00.000-05:002010-03-13T09:16:30.747-05:00not better right nowFor the time being we decided to take the Ornaments for Haiti off the website. I had a lot of people say it was a good idea, but no one bought any. That is okay. That was just not something people wanted at this time.<br /><br />Things for us are still a struggle. We just need to still take care of those discover bills, and we should make it. Nothing is garneshed at this time, but bills are growing like the electric. Hopefully in the next couple of months, we should start to get ahead again. thank You for all the helpful hints I have recieved.<br /><br />God bless,<br /><br />Harwoodsthis is mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01283977336804306505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989028456276245127.post-52961026968074220872010-02-04T14:40:00.000-05:002010-02-04T14:51:46.221-05:00Do not forget othersIn rough times it is easy just to worry about yourself.

I know there are seeming easy ways to get out of debt. The sooner you can get out of debt you can get on with your life. If you keep up the cycle of debt, you will end up with nothing at your retirement. Do your best in finishing off debt, and you should not be a burden on others. \<br /><br />Keep up the good work.this is mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01283977336804306505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989028456276245127.post-37614840717837614392010-01-17T12:35:00.000-05:002010-01-17T12:38:18.164-05:00minimum paymentsTry to avoid using this at all costs. The longer it takes to pay off your cards, the longer you will be in agony. Even it it is a few dollars more, It will tail off the debt even faster.<br /><br />Hopefully this helps you out some. I see some more of my debts going done.this is mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01283977336804306505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989028456276245127.post-67246101881345940442010-01-02T12:47:00.000-05:002010-01-02T12:50:44.551-05:00Do not stopI just wanted to encourage others to keep trudging forward. No matter what the creditors will keep going after you for payments. The hospitals seem to be the worst. They have now will be taking us to court for not paying off as faster than we can handle. Hopefully we can pay it off before march comes around. And hopefully all the rest of you can keep paying off bills.this is mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01283977336804306505noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989028456276245127.post-62510189770158898352009-12-25T01:12:00.000-05:002009-12-25T01:22:36.186-05:00month by monthI have been pretty busy with work. The hours have been fine and helping us pay a lot of bills. Unfortunetly my pay has not gone up yet. Once it does the extra money will really help out a lot. This will be especially true when overtime starts up again.<br /><br />I am still looking for another job to help pay off the bills that are in default and pay off some other bills.<br /><br />This journey is progressing. I am just praying nothing bad happens along the way.this is mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01283977336804306505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989028456276245127.post-33422136332249894412009-12-05T19:33:00.000-05:002009-12-05T19:44:18.131-05:00Any suggestions on paying off firstI recently read that someone suggested paying off the highest interest first. The reason for that is if you pay off the high intesest first you will pay off your debts first. The highest inerest accumulates debts faster, and by paying those off first, You will save on the accumulation the fastest.<br /><br />My suggestion, is do some soul searching. Do what is right for you.this is mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01283977336804306505noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989028456276245127.post-7996640222802556072009-11-22T10:58:00.000-05:002009-11-22T11:11:26.314-05:00confusingJust watched a report on the complexity of the credit card terms. The credit card companies have been making the terms so complex, it makes it so hard to even know what your credit card rate is going to be. The terms dont have to be so complex. The reports showed a man who rewrote the terms so a 10 year old could understand them. THe companies all rejected his proposal.<br /><br />By keeping confused they can snooker a few more people to apply for credit. I would suggest that if you can no understand the terms. You need to ask. You can be sure I will be doing this from now on. Except it will not happen for a long time. I still have a lot of bills to pay.this is mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01283977336804306505noreply@blogger.com1
