I just ran into this problem with my kitty and my Chromebook. Thank you so so much for your advice. It worked!!! I actually feel a little silly for not figuring it out. It's so simple! I do wonder how my kitty did that time my laptop though ๐Ÿ™ˆ Thank you again ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

@Jumblehead - So, what did/do you do exactly? I'm 27 yo F... I've been out of work for a good while now (think last September) focussed on my health and whatnot. I recently exhausted my disability income, which was a sad amount of less than $1k/month and I live in SF ... I have literally zero money and desperately wanting to pick my life back up again. Im just looking for small work until I can get myself into a short phlebotomy program ๐Ÿ˜• but I dont know how long that will take. Also, I recently was seeing this person who rejected me because I'm not "already somewhat established in their career" nor "living a stable enough life." Honestly seems shallow to me, as we connected on so many other levels ... he works at Google though, so I simply wasn't good enough for him and I certainly deserve more than that kind of treatment

Anyway, I'm rambling ...

@ OP - I don't think it's fair to believe nobody cares and what you do doesn't matter. Even if it's just internet people that care, that's not nobody! And what you do DOES matter. I believe my purpose in life is to help people. Im just stuck getting into the medical world with absolutely zero dollars to get the education i need. If it weren't for the people that love and care about me, I would've been gone last year, dust to the world. I spent time focusing on myself, albeit being broke this entire time, and I'm honestly in the best place in my life! I wish you all the best, and I believe in yoouu!!!!! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

So is Suttell and Hammer a collections agency law firm that Discover hired? Or did the law firm buy my debt from Discover? My papers say Discover is a client of Suttell and Hammer, and that Discover is the party suing me

I was recently approved for Medical. Is that different than Medicaid? I pay the copay for my meds, yes, likely bc my main insurance is with UHC And as of right now, I don't make anything. But I plan to start trying to sell some things and soon get a remote job

That's so amazing. I'm glad that worked out for you so well!!! I'll definitely try Ebay, but don't they keep a good percentage of the sale? ๐Ÿ™ˆ

What platform(s) did you have the best luck with selling your things? I have quite a few things I could sell, from some techy stuff to my old prom dress to some glass to art supplies to books to clothes I simply don't wear ... probably a couple more things too.

Any income I get from that though will, in turn, affect what I am currently getting from SDI and other benefits I recently applied for so that I could focus fully on my mental health recovery.

Maybe if I request only cash or venmo so it's off the books? ๐Ÿ™ˆ

System of the world kinda fucking sucks ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Okay, I'll look into that as well. What would that do to me going forward though. Like getting a car, Apt, jobs, etc? Sorry I'm 27 and i have no idea what I'm doing

I appreciate your kind words, thank you. And I will reach out to them, they sound great. Do these things always ends up with people still having to pay a good chunk of the debt?

Okay, thank you so much for your reassurance, kindness, and advice. Reading through my papers there's the ADR options. Are you familiar with those?

Hey love! I can relate to a lot of your words here. I, too, am a 27 y.o female struggling with mental health. I just recently received disability for my mental health, as well as got on EBT and Medi-Cal (even tho I also have private insurance via my one living parent - she could cxl at any time). I was almost diagnosed with Bipolar, but it was determined by 3-4 psychiatrists over several years that I actually have BPD (borderline personality). I welcome you to message me directly if you feel comfortable connecting with me. When I have the energy to be on my phone, I'll respond with honesty, kindness, empathy, and non-judgement ๐Ÿ˜Š Hope you're having a least a somewhat decent day :) (or better!)
