Update on my finical situation.

I'm actually trying to get my SSDI sent to paypal, because I've been using it for almost everything. I even successfully paid my discover card with it, twice. I plan on using it for the eletric bill, next.

@thislittlepennyearns I tried to do it online, then it said they need more information and I need to finish in-person. So, that's on the to-do, list. I need to get George a new bank account, too but that's going to have to wait until we get some money. Most banks require a first-time deposit to keep the account open. And, I honestly don't want to risk anything if I can help it.

@kaylachan Yeah Paypal has opened a lot more things then they used to. Even Walmart and Dollar General take Paypal which comes in handy. About half of my freelance stuff pays to PayPal and if i can use that for bills and stuff it saves otehr money for other things. I hope they let you!

Yeah, and I've been there. I hate doing it, but the truth is, it's a loose-loose. if we did have the money on hand, then we would've paid the debt long ago. But, the reality is, we don't. Not really. Sure, I am not spending money on ride share anymore, but I still have to pay taxes on my house and my home owner's insurance. I still have to pay for electricity, water, and the insurance on the van. As well as gas and groceries. While I'm not the hugest fan of this approach, I can understand where our lawyer's coming from. Sure we could argue this out in court, but that could cost us more time and money, possibly making court costs alone more then the debt, itself. Since the company has gone through the effort to sue us, it's no longer as simple as paying the debt and calling it a day. At the end of the day, buy the time all is said and done, we might not have enough to cover anything, and we won't know. Untill a judgment is reached. Now, had I remembered the account two months ago, we could've avoided a court case. but the rality was, I'd forgotten it and at the time mislead to believe the debt had been forgotten. You see, the debt in question is in George's name. While I did hear his phone once, when I talked to them, I explained what happened and offered to do something then-- their answer 'you're not responsible for the debt'. So, I let it go. I assumed, they'd write it off or something... or send it to collections or something. Nope. they s sued us, instead. Or, rather, George. So, we're just following the advice of our lawyer on this one, because I know that draging this out in court won't be good. Hell, going to the courthouse to file my (George's reply) is going to be a challenge. Because for some insane reason court houses are designed poorly.

@porwest hen we filed bankrupsy. I'm also thankful he didn't charge us, like he nrmally would, because he said he didn't want to get paid just to loose in the end.

@kaylachan All in all, like I said before, I hope it all least works out for the both of you overall. The lawyer, I am sure, will be able to find the best solution here. It's a terrible situation and I feel your pain. keep us posted as to what happens.

@kaylachan ......There ya go.

Yeah. a lot of work, but we also took care of the tag, so yay.

No, it's about a debt, because I suddenly had other things to pay for and couldn't keep up.

We are doing what we think is right.

We're trying.
