They're bullying us because they kno...Hey Kim,<br /><br />They're bullying us because they know that what they're doing is wrong. But they're f'ing with the wrong tenants. We're smart and we're right. We're not going down without a fight. And no one should have to go through what we've been through. <br /><br />We have decided not to file for bankruptcy. We're going to call our credit card companies and work something else. We've just been charging up a storm and the only account that we have large enough for the kind of balance that we ended up with is an AM/EX... which has to be paid off on Tuesday. We both decided that we'd regret filing for bankruptcy... but neither of us has ever been in this situation before and we both pannicked.icancarryallthebagsandthebabiestoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092919063325046800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835422624088578710.post-29945591922164030342010-10-10T14:08:13.637-07:002010-10-10T14:08:13.637-07:00OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This makes me SO angry I...OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This makes me SO angry I don't even know where to begin!!!<br /><br />You MUST fight them. I know it's like, the last thing you want to do, but they are BULLYING you, driving you into debt, and ruining your credit and good name. OMG!!! A lawyer should be able to get those records from the security company. Or, perhaps you can ask the security company yourself? Speak to a manager there? <br /><br />You need to do exactly what your parents lined out. I bet they have a great, comprehensive list. Also, do NOT file bankruptcy if you can help it. It's takes, I believe, 10 years to get over that one. <br /><br />One thing to consider: go to your bank and see a) what interest rates are for personal loans, and b) if it is lower than the rate on your credit card (which I'm betting it is) see if you can get a loan to pay off the credit card. This will get the creditors off your back and you won't be killed with interest. I've done this a couple times before (when I was living in D.C., and making no money on the Hill and had racked up a bit of debt).<br /><br />I am furious for you! <br /><br />Get the bastards!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04952934763804451520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835422624088578710.post-19315965829013672002010-10-09T15:50:05.630-07:002010-10-09T15:50:05.630-07:00Oh no. It wasn't. But that's nice to kno...Oh no. It wasn't. But that's nice to know! I was speaking out Ana's exhusband Len.<br /><br />I have spoken to my parents... who have been incredibly helpful!!!!<br /><br />My mom sent me an itemized list of what to do, who to contact and how to get this taken care of. Also, my parents really believe that we have a legal case. We were never, at any point, informed that there was a bed bug infestation in our building or in our neighborhood. Had we been, we never would have brought boxes to our new house... which in turn became contaminated. Also, we could have recognized the signs of bed bugs earlier. The signs were there... we just had no idea what they were related to. <br /><br />Here's something weird, the security company with all the logs of who comes and goes in our building was FIRED this week. All the guards are gone and replaced with new people.<br /><br />I know that sounds total conspiracy talk... but I totally think that these things could be related. I was going to go in and ask Hazel (the consierge) how many exterminators were in the building before the day ours came. And now I can't.<br /><br />Also, there's a service that you can use for landlord/tenant complaints and they provide you with a lawyer. If that doesn't work... my parents have offered to help us retain someone.<br /><br />Also, they are saying that we owe them for October's rent (which per our lease agreement is true... but becuase of the financial hit we took due to their incompetence and negligence we couldn't possibly pay them.) Also, they are saying that we did not pay Septembers rent.. which Jay can easily prove that we did.<br /><br />Also, they are saying that we were evicted. <br /><br />Fuckers.icancarryallthebagsandthebabiestoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092919063325046800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835422624088578710.post-43662708191548170682010-10-09T15:21:02.726-07:002010-10-09T15:21:02.726-07:00btw, i saw jc offered help on facebook, that might...btw, i saw jc offered help on facebook, that might be who you're talking about........nikkolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208408105819243294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835422624088578710.post-66382199978149715792010-10-09T15:19:44.267-07:002010-10-09T15:19:44.267-07:00aww man, that really sucks =( if you decide to go...aww man, that really sucks =( if you decide to go the work route, i would put up fliers at the girls school offering child care and house cleaning, easy $ and under the table. <br /><br />why on earth do you owe the apt. place 4K? that seems ridiculous to me. try to find a lawyer that offers free consultation, go in prepared and see what they have to say. also, out here they have free legal clinics, i don't know where to tell you to look in philly. <br /><br />try to just take one step at a time, i know it must be overwhelming but make a list, talk to the right people, you can do it! have you talked to your parents? they usually seem to have good advice for you. <br /><br />best!nikkolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208408105819243294noreply@blogger.com
