Why bother!

More of a rant than question; To sum this up I closed on my house on April 30th and this past Saturday, the 5th of June, the A/ C unit decided to burn itself up beyond repair. Ok s&*^ happens, had a repairman out Sat night as its hot where I live and confirmed I needed a complete new unit for the tune of about 6k, yeah for me! Well just being a month and 4 days into my house and using the majority of my liquid reserves, I figured I would go to my bank of 10 years,  and get a loan for the repair using my title to my car as collateral, and repay when my FTHB credit arrived. Well that plan never got off the ground because I was told the collateral was too old, nothing over 5years will work, and no longer do signature loans like several I have had with them in the past! So I was shot down over the phone without even a credit check or "I’m sorry we can't help you"! I had the old unit removed by the repairman and told him I would get him 50% of the repair to get the new unit , and I have yet to get any bank to even entertain looking at my credit which is all mid 700"s, so I don't know why I bother tirelessly trying to make payments on time and keeping cc and things paid off?? Why flipping bother.

 

Sorry for the rant, just really disgusted right now!

So happy!

Well this is the cherry on top! I decided to try the bank that gave me my mortgage, well they have come back and said everything looks great EXCEPT my credit card is too high, I have 2 which I owe a total of 5500 on which I was going to use the FTHB credit to pay them off. So I was able to get a 200k mortgage with the cc debt but a 6k loan I cannot! WOW love the banking system! Really ticked!

Re: Why bother!

Last week I lost my A/C unit, computer, water softener and alarm system to a ligtining storm.  Check with your insurnace company since it may be covered.  Also I would check with the poeple installing your A/C unit.  The company I delt with offered me 12 months same as cash.
