Bit of an update on the Financial thing...

First, I've figured out how much money I'll be taking out- it'll be $12,000. That'll cover all the credit-debt and give me a bit to work with to catch up on regular bills. One month's payment is added as well to the mortgage, giving me a 'free' month where I won't have to make a mortgage payment, plus the associated fees. They're waiving the value-assessment of the house due to my 'account-in-good-standing' and kickass credit rating (despite the troubles I was never a month late on ANYTHING so I never got nailed in the credit reports), and in a last bit of news the rates apparently dropped so I'll be getting a lower interest rate. Yay!

So it goes down today at 9:30 AM. I should get the cash within two weeks, although there IS a chance I could get it today. I doubt that, however.

God, this is gonna take some stress away...

I Got Stiffed. :P

I was SUPPOSED to have my meeting to arrange the refinancing of the house today at 9:30. As of 10:30, he hadn't shown up. At 10:00 I got a call on my celphone from ataramos telling me that he was going to be late, that he'd be there around 10:00. He never showed. I left him a phone message indicating my displeasure, and I'd BETTER get a good explanation or I'll be calling Countrywide Mortgage's home offices and making a lengthy complaint.

I really wanted to get this shit over with. Well, maybe tomorrow. If not with this guy, with another Countrywide agent.

Trying again...

Apparently he got caught at a closing. So, 9:30 tomorrow we try again. If he's not there or he's significantly late, I'm calling Countrywide's home offices and raising some SERIOUS hell.
