I better write some more, cause I don’t like the devilbitch’s ass parked on the front stoop.
Met with lawyer for 2nd time today, getting ready to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. This doesn’t get me off the hook for anything…in fact, I’ll be busting ass and “losing” even more of my too-hard earned $$$ to asshole creditors over the next few years. I wouldn’t be so bitter except the sword in my side is one SH-ITT and the “education” I got was a scam…now I’m poorer, sadder and wiser.
My Lawyer seems a decent fellow. He’s going to retire at the end of the year. I asked him if the “new” bankruptcy laws of 2005 are hurting or helping the poor. I’d heard the credit card companies were upset/surprised by the rapid rise in bankruptcies filed before the new laws took effect. Lawyer’s theory , after studying the legalese, was that the politicians took the credit card companies’ money but left things mostly intact. In a society segregated into winners and losers (which are events, not people) you don’t want to hurt people any more than you have to (my words, not Lawyers).
Lawyer thinks the new laws are beneficial to all. Fair enough. I was poor before this whole mess and probably will be long after.
