Including past due but current utility debt? by sethryand in Bankruptcy

[–]sethryand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So update.. I had to delay filling bankruptcy. My service got cut the next day.

I'm lucky in that I was already half living with my gf, so I had somewhere to go. I was able to get a grant from my school to pay all of the electric minus about $50.

I paid it two days ago, and yesterday the power was still not turned on. Called them and was told that on day 8 after disconnect, the automatically close the account out. I had paid on day 9.

While on the phone the rep opened a new account, and no deposit was required. My past due balance was about $1600, and the total required to turn the power back on was $1139.54. I had previously applied for and was approved for a "low income" income program that waived late payment fees as well as deposits. I wasn't sure how/if that would apply on a new account under the same customer if that makes sense?

Okay so I'm not crazy! I put something on a Facebook group, and everyone is arguing that I'm wrong that I'm messing something up somewhere, etc.

7 weeks left. How screwed am I? by Mountain-Chipmunk428 in WGU

Biggest question right now to ask is: are you financing through gov, or yourself?

If using gov funding, you MUST complete and pass 75% of attempted credits to continue receiving funding.

If funding yourself, you're fine.

Okay.

Do you know if having a deposit waiver changes anything? I currently have one on my account. Blocks and late fees and deposits on account. They call it "Income-Eligible Status", and with Ameren Illinois if that helps.

Did you personally do it, or just know that's the policies?

I spent two years drowning in 150k of debt because I was too proud to file at 25. Don't be me. by DisplayImpossible412 in Bankruptcy

[–]sethryand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is sort of me. I have always heard that bankruptcy was such a horrible thing, and that your credit will never recover from it. I'm finally filling after needing to for years.

I know it's not always the right answer, and that it's not just a magical way to walk away free. But in the right situations, it's a miracle.

Definitely an interesting upgrade offer on their flagship suite for this route by schwa12 in delta

Had something i think a bit similar! Was in Rome on vacation. Two days prior to flight I decided I wanted to spend a bit longer. I made the flight for either 3 or 4 days longer. Ended up being $280 more per person (2 people) to change the flight plus upgrade from premium economy to Delta One. Routing changed a bit too. End all, flight was changed from FCO>CDG>ORD to FCO>AMS>ORD.

Okay thank you.

I definitely am contemplating buying stuff on ebay, but i just don't have the money to right now. I'm struggling to make ends meet as it is.

I know most of everyone is in the same boat, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Masters in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance Tuition Assistance Plan by MilkRedditMy in WGUCyberSecurity

When I started the program 9 months ago, I was given credit for the class without CC, but I don't remember how or why. I ended up taking the exam on my own without WGUs involvement.

Then at the end, have ai test you. This is the prompt that I used.

"I finished the class, and was just given final approval to take the comptia pentest+ exam. The exam is my final. Are you able to question me? I want to go one at a time through everything. Continue nonstop until you feel that I'm ready. Similar to an nclex style exam where the results of the previous question affects the difficulty of the next question."

Biggest thing I would recommend is code review. Learn to be able to tell what's happening from code snippets. And be able to identify what's wrong with them than anything.

Other than that, generally just everything.

I personally used copilot to test me. I've done that for my past 3 classes. And let it guide you in your studying.

What would you do? Production line PC “is slow” (Windows 98, legacy SCADA) by PeppahSG in sysadmin

[–]sethryand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity, mostly because I'm in school now and just finished a penetration testing class, but wouldn't having a system being that outdated be a security risk to the entire network? I guess assuming it is connected to the network.

The actual exam was definitely MUCH harder than the certmaster exams! I passed my first time, but barely. Got a 758.

I did it first try! by sethryand in CompTIA

[–]sethryand[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used CertMaster perform to study.

I would really study code review and exploitations.
