I know EXACTLY how you feel. A similar letter arrived in my mailbox about 18 months ago. Mine was that my mortgage was sold and due to differences in the way they calculated escrow accounts, my payment went up $100/month. Let me tell you, on a single income, that was hard. And I fought them, as I had put 20% down and wasn’t required to have them escrow my taxes and insurance. But they fought back, saying that I had to prove now that I had 25% equity(!), that would cost me several hundred more $$ for an appraisal by a “licensed appraiser”. Well! Basically, this mortgage company (which begins with citi…) decided they wanted to “hold” $800 more of MY money as a cushion, well, just because they CAN. The good news is that I weathered the “storm”, you will too; and on a happy note, I did get a big refund in escrow after the year was up (go figure that one). It really is a travesty some of the stuff that the mortgage and credit card companies pull. All the more motivation to be truly debt-free!

Thank you for sharing this – your upbeat attitude is inspiring and will certainly be a big part of your success. I also find it satisfying that the things I’m learning as I get out of debt can also apply to other “setbacks” in life. In other words, the payoff to getting out of debt can be bigger than financial! You beautifully illustrated that in your guest post.

Just think how badly this would have hit you if you didn’t have goals, if you didn’t have a budge, and if you were just piling up more debt. Good luck with the debt reduction! Good luck!
