I just got off the phone with them again. The only thing they can do is try to get more of the service fees suppressed. She is going to talk to their lawyer and see if they will approve that. Even if they will agree to that, I still have to come up with $3500-4000 in 60 days or my dreams of buying a house are crushed. All of this while trying to plan (and pay for) our wedding which is in October.
I applied for a personal line of credit at my bank and they denied it. She said you can't have anything negative on your credit report at all (I have two collections; one is six years old and one will be two years old in July) and you have to have at least half of the loan amount in liquid assets to be approved. I mentioned that if I was in that type of financial situation, I probably wouldn't need a line of credit.
At this point, I guess the best I can do is hope that I can get the amount owed reduced, get a part-time job and look for stuff to ebay. At the same time, I have no idea how I'm going to pay for my wedding. I am crushed. After working so hard for the past few months to get our get scores up, it may have all been wasted effort.
