Quick Update

We've come a long way since February and DH's middle mortgage score just crossed the 620 mark.  Normally we'd be celebrating about that, but it came in the midst of some new complications.  First, we're having a major issue getting the Satisfaction paperwork for the last judgment we paid off.  The plantiff no longer has a lawyer, so we had to hunt her down.  She told us she had no idea she had to file anything, seemed to be very agreeable, I sent her the paperwork, all filled out, just needing her date and signature and dropped off with the county clerk, she said she'd do it the next week.  Never heard anything and followed up two weeks later only to have her flip out and demand we cease contact with her.  So now we've had to ask the court to straight up declare it satisfied (we paid through them, they have record of the payment and were the ones to deliver the check to her, so they have proof it was paid).  But so far, nothing on that either. 

That said, now we found out our lease is up at the end of August, not July and we finally got them to agree to letting us month-to-month here when it's up.  So the pressure to buy a house this summer has significantly decreased.  AND we found out that DH's job, that we thought was VERY secure....is not.  So if we buy a house in the near future, it may not even be in this state.  And that all means we just spent about $3k paying off collections that would have dropped off in July/Sept on their own, and I'm a bit sad about that, but oh well, it's done.

So now we sit back and enjoy the fact that we're not in a rush, our credit has improved and we've paid off a lot of stuff.  We have time to garden a bit now and let those scores come up even higher before we need to make a move.
