Well for the last 6 months my pay checks have been garnished by 25% because of a credit card bill of mine. This has caused me to fall behind on my car payments because I cant afford to pay rent AND car payments with a garnished pay check....

anyway they came & towed my car away today

I officially suck, no idea when Ill get my baby back so ill be car-less for a while...yeah...

the weird thing is I had a dream about a week ago that my car was towed...but luckily I woke up from it...this time...not so lucky.

I know its my own fault! I really hate myself right now, I cant stop crying....

aw, I'm sorry to hear that! do you know how much you need to pay to get it back? I say we start a 'get-amy-her-car-back' fund I'll pitch in some coin to get it started. Do you want a check or paypal?

I'm sorry Amy!!

I sympathize with the feeling of loosing your baby. Mine comes home tomorrow, but then it may leave permanently. Loosing a car is so hard.

amy, apply for a credit line to pay off your cards. Interest rates should be alot lower. they are in canada at least.

thats so sad! sorry to hear Amy... if there is anything i can do to help out, let me know.

That's so lame. Sorry to hear about it. At least you have a car to drive in the mean time. Tech9ine is right, you can do better by getting a loan to pay off the credit cards. Or you can do what I did and get a card with 0% interest. I lived on one while I started my business.

That sucks bout the car. Get it out of impound (or whatever it is) soon. Some places charge by the day to store the car. You show up to get your car back with the $$$, but then they tell you you need more $ than you brought cause of charges.

Yeah Im working on it right now, my dad thankfully is going to try & help me out. Capital One said I have 10 days to pay them in full of any past due payments (like randy was thinking) So if & when we can send them the money they said to sent them an express moneygram....then I can go to the storage place holding my car & get my baby back! We will have to pay the storage a $75 fee for whatever plus $25 for every day its in storage. Sooo....gotta work fast to make this happen!

Im feeling better about it today - no more crying - well im trying not to anyway

This is my temp. ride for now...my friend said I can borrow it if I give it a bath....DEAL!

Still not sure if & when Ill get my car back...but I hope its before the end of the week

OMG what would I do w/ out my family!

GOOD NEWS

'Amysmojo' will be home some time before the end of the week. A family member heard about the mess I got myself into & has offered to pay for my late car payments + make the July & August payments to give me a head start on getting my bills under controll.....on top of that this same family member said if I get a part time job - then they will match whatever I make each week so that I can get my debt paid off once & for all

I am speechless...this person is my HERO. My whole family knows how much my car means to me...I think they want it to come back home just as much as I do!!

anyway thanks for all your replies everyone - its nice to know im not alone.

After a long long loooong day of running around talking to 100 different people & making arrangements...MY CAR IS HOME.....it was only gone for 4 days but...it felt like much longer!


When we got there to rescue my car from "jail" I couldnt resist & had to take a picture lol The first pic is in black & white because i forgot to change my settings...






BTW Our cars handle soooo well....its easy to over look but after driving that mustang around...I Now know how awesome our cars are. I even hugged it & kissed it when I got there hahaha (you all would have done the same truuuust me)

now that you have your car back, hire a lawyer and get those ****ers to buy you new tires for your wheels. dragging a car from a driveway with the e-brake on is vandalism. i am serious, if i were any closer to you (and american) i would raise such a stink they would smell it all the way to Sydney, Australia. talk to legal aid or go through small-claims court. they had no right to ruin your tires. things like this pee me off i just want to spit.

sorry you fell into the pit of debt...many of us have to go there before we priorize and live closer to our means. glad to hear you have family that will help out. charity does begin at home.

keep on keepin' on. you are great. your car is great and the 6gc family luvs you.
