Saturday
It was an early start this morning. We headed to the bank AGAIN to fix what was charged to the account. So far we could calculate about $80. Fortunately we caught it early enough. We couldn't block the account or Carl wouldn't have gotten paid, and we had to wait for the pending actions to clear, before disputing them. So hopefully we will see that back in the account before the end of the week, this week.
We did even look at a couple of apartments. We found one we both really liked and felt good about it. The price is a little steep. If we do the 2brd 2bath. But the are more advantages.It's smaller complex and a little more secluded. We liked that they are fairly new and the layout. The nice part is that they save part of the month's rent to put towards a down payment for a home. That's IDEAL! They have two different options, so we would like to see the other one later. Oh and Carl gets a discount from working with the State! We are finding out that he gets a lot of discounts with that!
We spent the rest of the afternoon, organinzing and rearranging the office. It's much better. I even went through my big white cabinet drawers!! It's been two or three years on some of the drawers! We threw out 4 trash bags of stuff!! Man it felt good!!
I have decided I am not going to let this fraud thing 'freak me out'. It could have been a lot worse!! I did find out that someone had tried to use my Discovercard on line, when I called to cancel it! Fortunately it was denied because it was over anyway. But they told me I could go ahead and close the account and they will look into that instint because I was a charged a fee.
It's Amazing how EASY it is, to steal somone's identity. But I am not going to be bitter and angry.I am greatful, that it wasn't more serious. I am greatful, that it's forced me to be a more organized person and to be more aware of who's around me and what I'm doing.

its scary how often that kind of thing happens. luckily, it should be fairly easy to get taken care of in your situation. its just time consuming and a PITA.
