Not having an internet connection for awhile, I got a little behind on this site. Since I was last here, I’ve paid off all of my medical bills except one! The only one left is about $900 and I have a monthly payment plan set up, so that will be gone soon enough. I recently applied for an apartment and was surprised to be denied due to something I wasn’t even aware of. Apparently, I still owe Comcast some money. It’s not even very much and it wasn’t on my credit report 6 months ago, so I was scratching my head trying to figure out where it came from. Turns out, last year when I had all those medical bills, I also had a Comcast bill that I completely overlooked. I had made a few payments and then it got lost in the shuffle. So instead of sending me something saying “Hey we’re gonna send this to collections” Comcast did just that. So now I have another stupid mark on my credit report for a lousy $173 dollars, which I would’ve paid off looong ago had I been aware of it. Oh well, it’s gone now, so all I’m really looking at is my student loan. I probably should be making payments on it, but really I’m just going to pay it off when I get taxes next year. That’s the only way it’s going to be done quickly. I need to save money in the meantime so I can move out, replace my hunk of junk car, and hopefully grow a little nest egg.
