    Angelflower, that is such a sad post! I am so sorry to hear that you might lose your home whne it obviously means so much to you. I lost my home but it had so many mixed memroies there that I was not sad to leave, very sad to lose my home, but not that one especially. I really hope things turn out a little better for you in the long run.

    Miss Shoes, to pay so much off in that time you must be working at it like crazy!

    nervousmother I dont blame you at all, what an awful thing for NR to do, it makes a mockery out of it if they sold it for a low price after all your efforts. My boss says never forget that debts dont carry emotions to those who are owed, only to those who owe. Its true. It's simply business to people like NR.

    I have small debts to people who have never hassled me and never been mean, I would feel a little bad if I went BR and they never got their money, but the big guys who spent years telling my ex to consolidate, consolidate (this to a shopaholic) I would have no qualms at all about them not geeting the lot back I think.
      To those who are given much, much is expected
