[quote=Anonymous]We own a home in another state, wasnt able to sell when we had to move to DC area so it was fented through realtors. We have a pretty solid lease but the tenant has been late for 3 mo straight, she pays the late fees but twice the checks have bounced for the rent. Its really put a dent in our finances. Im constantly stressed as were now late on a ton of credit card payments for january. Ive yet to find work here that would pay more than childcare for our infant but wish i could do more to help boost our finances.

Our mortgage company is working with us on a repayment plan but now we will have to adjust that bc the tenants jan check just bounced! We had been doing really well paying down our debts (med bills on credit cards from lack of insurance years ago). I have covered our car, rent and student loans this month but im afraid to pay the cc bills and be left with so little until next paycheck.

I know it is all temporary DH gets a raise next month which will ease things a little but the next few days until we have tenant money in hand are going to stress me so much.
I am prepared for our credit scores to take a hit but sad that all my hardwork to boost them is going down the drain. We are in the low 600's now.

I wish there was something more i could do but i am out of ideas. Per our lease here i cannot offer childcare and there arent many legit ways to earn money from home.

Vent over.[/quote]
