I finally heard from my bankruptcy lawyer and because I cashed out my retirement to try to pay down my mortgage, I can't file until May! Even though it was a one time thing and in no way reflects on my income, I can't do it. She told me to just pay what I need to survive. The worst my creditors can do is call me and annoy me... and since they don't know my phone number, I won't have to deal with it anyway.

Lovely. I'm so annoyed at this new law. I see the point in making it harder to file, but a one time withdrawal is being held against me... and it's money I don't even have anymore.

Sometimes it does seem as though laws that are supposed to protect us, end up kicking us even more when we're down.


Hang in there!
