Heart Sick
Thursday, September 6, 2007
Friends, we learned tonight that it will cost us approximately $1500 to file for bankruptcy. That's money that's needed upfront. The irony is this: We wouldn't be filing for bankruptcy if we could snap our fingers and come up with a huge lump of money like that. We barely make it every month. How can we even save for such a fee?
It's very disheartening.
Even if we could come up with the money, we would have to wait 90 days before filing, because recent large purchases can suggest "fraud" to creditors and they'll come after you. Unfortunately, we buckled just the other day and withdrew money from our line of credit to pay our medical bills. We kept waiting for an answer, or some way to pay, and nothing presented itself. I don't know. . . I guess we shouldn't have paid them. But, we didn't know then what we know now. The whole bankruptcy idea was still in its infant stages.
Please pray for us. . . that God will make a way where there seems to be no way.
I feel so stupid. And so dis-couraged.
