OK, so here I am in December 2007. Picture this: Social Security Administration still insists that I owe them over $7,200.00 for what they claim is an overpayment for disability they made to me in the mid 1990's. Yea, right.
I have medical bills in the region of $1,200 from two hospitals, and three other medical institutions. I have made payment arrangements with all but one of these organizations, but the $1200 is the total I owe.
My medical insurance requires a quarterly premium of $1,228, and I have a $2,000 deductible.
I also have my basic expenses: mortgage (live in a condo), association fee, electric, phone, etc.
Christmas? Are you kidding?
I have been unemployed for a full two years. I have had no income for 18 months.
SSA did stop sending me statements, but will only do that for six months and then start again even though they have been informed there is no way in **** that I can pay them----anything. If I ignore the statements, my credit score will plummet (it is currently quite high because everything else is fine!)
anyone want to trade?
No I am not currently able to work. Best case scenario would be part time work in the spring. Best case. Would a part time job after 2/12 years out of work pay me enough to make a dent in all of this? Not likely.
Now you can laugh with me. I am not a pessimist. I think I know how to get out from under the majority of this if not all of it. And to be quite honest (pun intended) it is just as deceitful as the SSA claim against me. I have been told not to mess with SSA, but I can only take so much. Besides it is worthless for me to apply for disability---they will just take the $7,200 out of the disability!
Stress? Me? You have to be kidding.
This is how I "modified" a recent National Public Radio "headline:"
"Bush lays out plan to help Lawn Mowers"
Sorry, but it is funny. http://www.coping-with-epilepsy.com/forums/images/smilies/rotflmbo.gif
