facing eviction
 

Hey all ...

just received notice that my landlady is pressuring me via her lawyer (I figured the time was coming) to pay off what I owe her - and to remove my trailer from her lot as soon as possible.

and the letter states that they sent me a letter back in February - I never received ... no wonder no one has been talking to me these last 3 months.

and when I did see her (landlady) .. she says 'just do what you can' ... which I'm so far behind with everything that other than my electric, phone, carpayment, car insurance - has been the only thing I've been trying to keep up -- and at times, even got behind on all of that!

so this is how they treat their family ... I have no immediate family to lean on - only an uncle and aunt that are in their 70s and 90s ... that are just getting by....

I'm dealing with a stress-flair right now ... and have a doctor's appt here shortly ...

just would appreciate prayers that I will do the right thing .. and that God will deal with the giants (debt, landlady, moving, disability) in my life right now.

THANK YOU!!

We hold on by our fingernails sometimes, Vonn.

I hope that something good can be worked out so that the pressure to move is reduced.

Don't worry about anything but your health. Everything else will fall into place.

Youve got a lot on your plate right now Vonne:( You will be in my
thoughts. Vic is right, your health comes first.

That just stinks. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this and wish there was something I could do to make it better. I will definitely keep you in my prayers, Vonn.

Is there any kind of rent relief or city/state/county things you can sign up for?
Churches sometimes can help in these situations.

I don't know if you already looked into all that so just wanted to mention it.
:grouphug:

vonn, have you been paying anything towards rent? did the letter state an amount that can be paid to stop the eviction?

i have been there. sending you lots of prayers and :hug:

Vonn you are in my prayers!!!! Good luck! You are always welcome here in MA!

Keeping hopeful thoughts for you.

I also think: The landlady/landlord better have followed your state's eviction laws. She/Her attorney has a burden to prove that you received notice (Feb., they say) because there is a stipulated time-frame that is required before forced eviction can happen.

I'm not saying you don't owe her anything or that you are trying to worm your way out of anything.

Time, however, may also open more options for you.

Vonn07,

Things sound bad, but they are never as bad as you think the are. Work to do what you can and you will find people are quite sympathetic, and if they can they will help. I've been there, waiting for the sky to fall - it didn't. I had to make some changes but life went on. Real faith is knowing that no matter what happens everything will be okay.

Bobbi's right.....I believe they have to send those letters certified so they get a signed receipt.

Not trying to suggest something that might make your landlady less apt to work with you - but they have to follow the rules in order to evict (sorry...not sure what they are but I know there are some in every state).

I found this site.....looks like it might have some good info.

Hi Von~ I agree w/Kelly; that stinks! So sorry you are gong through so much stress right now. I'm really sorry that I don't have any advice for you; sure wish I did. But, just wanted you to know that YES, I am praying for you and a resolution to your problem.

Take care of YOU.

Hey Vonn I'm sorry that you have to deal with all of this. Sometimes when it rains it pours.

I'm sure in the end, everything will work itself out. I'm thinking of you.http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/d...andprayers.gif

Von, I don't know if it's up in your area, but try dialing 211 to see if there is any emergency shelter assistance available to you. They will also have resources to assist you with your bills and moving matters. The 211 is a basic assistance line for people in situations like yours. I hope you'll work it all out soon.:)

Cindy, a quick question: What is the 211 line? or where does it lead, i.e., an agency that's nationwide or for a specific area?

It's an ongoing initiative begun by United Way, nation-wide, check it out!

thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers ... I'm okay ... in fact, I figured that getting out of here wasn't coming anytime too soon!

all things will work out ... I'm not stressing anymore ... talked with my doctor - she's upset with SSDI because she is concerned about my downward MS progression ... and rather have me not return to work ...

I just have to find a place to 'GO' that will take me in - will have to explain my physical setbacks ...

actually, I've been packing these last few weeks ... so, all I need is a truck and a place to go ..

good news .. just got an email from a friend that will help me out with a grand .. that will pay for the rent/deposits ... this will happen!!

and I'm donating my trailer (aluminum) to the American Legion that I'm a member of - and I can move out, they can come and disemble it and cash in the metal .. and take the wood from the framing ... and level the lot!

see - it is all coming together!! will keep you posted ... and I have 2 weeks of school to finish up before the break ...

I think your story of survival teaches us all a lesson.

Look what you are going through and you still have time to reach out to us on these forums.

God bless you my dear!!

All the best. You are most definitely in my prayers when I go to bed tonight.

Melody

Vonn, glad to hear things will work out. But please do call that 211 number to see if there are any options for you. This is what tax money and donations work for, to help those who really need the help. Good luck in all that happens. Are you still planning to move by your friends?

Hey Girl .... continuing to re-read the book you sent ... I'll be going down to Beaver Dam (about 40 minutes north of Mad-town) ... how far are you from there??

I'll be okay .. I believe that God doesn't give us anything more than we can handle ... so, right now - they are only His footprints in the sand right now ... I have a real peace about leaving ...

Vonn, thanks for keeping us posted -- I hope all this works out for you. If I lived near you I'd be there with my van and box trailer to give you a hand.

Dear Vonn, there are so many of us who live on the edge of what you're going through, and only by the grace of God, or good luck, just haven't been there yet.

Please know that I'm thinking of you and if there was any way I could help I would. Sending hugs and hope that this turns out to be a positive step forward for you in the long run.

continued thanks for everyone that posts ...

I'm at peace ... I gave HIM thanks and prayers for the good times and now for the tough times ... my mind is clear ...

all your thoughts and prayers are felt, otherwise I wouldn't be at peace - thank you!!

:grouphug::hug::grouphug:

that's all I have to give you, dear Vonn.

and now it finally makes sense why your landlady has been acting so darn strange.

she expected YOU to act with disdain/anger/worry after her letter, and when you didn't (because you didn't *get* the letter) she's probably all confused.

well, she'll get what's coming to her, if Karma rules the day.

glad to hear you're working actively on solutions to the unexpected dilemma.

:hug::grouphug::hug:

:hug:Vonn, as hard as it is to go thru some of this stuff, I've ALWAYS been amazed at how it always works out to be something better. Don't think I'm a nut or anything (well, maybe I am a little), but I've found that when change is ready to come, it will come. Whether it's easy or difficult kinda depends on my willingness to make the change. Things are moving for you, Vonn! I know you're on to something better!

I think you are amazing Vonn! I will continue to hold you in my prayers!:hug:

Beaver Dam is about three hours north of me.

thanks again ... :Thanx:

change is good - change is hard at times .. I believe that it will be better than what I've been dealing with ...

it seems that ever since day one when I moved here - it's been tough, water issues, no heat, no air (depending on the weather), and no help from those that 'said' they'd help ..

woke up this morning knowing that I am not afraid ... and I know that I'm a good person ...

I'll be moved during the last two weeks of June (summer school break) ... and school starts up again July 4th ... all things work together for good!

I'm so glad you're feeling better about things, Vonn. I don't think what your landlady is doing is legal in the state of Wisconsin (according to the link I sent you). If anything, it might just buy you some time to get your ducks in a row and have a well planned departure.

thanks, Kelly ... she's just looking for money ... and I know that she's got her story all blabbed around ... but no one has walked over to talk with me or ask me how I'm doing - now things make sense over these last 2-3 months!!

I'm staying put - packing and cleaning ... and will leave in the next couple of weeks ... before the end of the month ..

my friend (in beaver dam) has contacted our church (I use to be the bookkeeper there for almost 3 years) ... and they are willing to help - it's just that all I need is to find adequate housing ... and when SSDI eventually kicks in ... I'll be fine ....

thanks again!

MOrning Vonn,
I'm just reading this today and I'm very concerned for you :hug: I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. Praying every day that a solution will be realized in your life and all will be okay soon. Do what you can every day and take good care of yourself first! Maybe someday you'll make it to Homer.....

Peace be with you
J:hug::hug:

Vonn, Glad to hear that even though it's not a good thing that's happening, it seems to be working out for ya. Prayers being sent that everything will continue to work out. :hug:

Hey Jeannie .. thanks ... and HOMER ... yes ... working on a doctor Rx to live in cooler environments, May - Sept .. should work, right??
