A big problem is the paranoia aerocontrols Send a noteboard - 25/07/2018 04:04:09 PM

She knows (today) that she's really screwed up and requires our help to bail her out (not the first time!) but who knows what she'll remember this time next year. Power of Attorney will help us out with monitoring her but it's revocable by her whenever she starts thinking we're up to no good.

So it may end up we pursue guardianship and take away her car/house/freedom.

Sounds to me like it's pretty much time. Tom could answer much better than I could about legal matters although obviously he's a NY lawyer and your state laws are likely different in some respects.

As to all those finance charges, penalties and fees, remember everything is negotiable. Especially if you can play the bankruptcy card. Try to get them to waive everything but the original charges. I did that with my Macy's card when they stopped sending me an e-bill with no notification, then hit me with all the fees when they finally sent a paper bill. Got them to waive everything but the original purchases.


Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.

Anyone can have a credit card machine. It's a small plastic square you plug into your iphone. Tom - 26/07/2018 03:22:29 PM 512 Views
Not credit cards, debit cards. And bank transfers. Legolas - 26/07/2018 05:21:59 PM 509 Views
The last check I wrote was $45 to the 14yo who mows the front part of a piece of property I own aerocontrols - 27/07/2018 02:16:23 PM 472 Views
He'd have texted his bank account number, and I'd have sent a bank transfer. *NM* Legolas - 27/07/2018 05:14:50 PM 265 Views
