If someone stole your car right now, they would do you a favor (remember hyundai pays 5,000 if someone can steal your car with the alarm) if you have theft coverage, though I don't know they'll rememberse you what you owe. You might have to sell it if you dont find a job.02.gif ...

Go look into some Unions in your area (construction).. They are always starting off around $11/hour, give or take depending.. And its basically no skill required to start.. Im learning the hard way to keep my credit good, and its KILLING me..

I had a 2004 R6, just purchsed in september, brand new.. It got stolen beginning of January.. I basically owe everything and Im screwed because I only had liability (yeah stupid me, but $550/month for comprehensive).. But Im working on paying it back, cuz Id like to get a house next year ;/ Luckily, It should be gone by end of this year hopeuflly!!

GL with your car.. Keep it, sell some mods (what you got, I want dibs!!) and catch up on payments, then figure out a way to stay caught up!!

i have Gap coverage. whatever insurance doesn't cover, Gap will

i'm tryin to get a job at a Paper mill. i believe they start at like $12/hour.

with all the other debt i'm in, i can't survive on anything less than $10/hour and less than 35 hours a week.

i'm tryin my damndest, and something better happen real quick.

what paper mill you trying to get into? because My dad works at schoeller technical papers and they make computer paper and photographic paper. they are losing money because of digital cameras.. they are doing major cutbacks(have been for a few years) and my dad went from the upper 10% in seniority to being on the bottom rung of the shortening corporate ladder. soon they are going down to like 40 workers and my dad is getting laid off in may 02.gif = not good.

Does your stated have some sort of workforce commission? if so, why don't you register and see if they can locate you a job?

Also, do not NOT pay your car payment, call up your creditors and let them know what's going on, many of them will help you out as much as they can, if you LET THEM KNOW you are having trouble.

Yeah, save your credit while you can. Bad credit sucks.

As for your car, try your best to make the payments. If push comes to shove, sell it for what you can, buy something cheap to get you around in and when you're in a good financial situation try to get the car you want.

i already called my car creditor. (GMAC). they don't allow people to defer a payment. my options were to pay in full by the end of the month, or pay just the interest by the next payment. i can't do either.

not NOT paying it, right now, is easier said than done. i have $300 in my checking right now, with no new deposits coming. I have an automatic payment on the 28th for $250. car payment is due the 6th of every month...

QUOTE (raetz10)
That being said, you could start parting out some of you aftermarket stuff to help with the payments.
i have been... the only thing i have left to sell that would give me quite a bit of money would be my rims... and i really don't wanna do that. i may though. i'm not decided...

QUOTE (CyberShark)

yea, but i may not need that... i'm hopin i won't need that.

what paper mill you trying to get into?
there's one the next town over that is always hiring. there are 4 within a 20 mile radius of me. most of them make recycled paper or cardboard

see, thats where i'm confused. i owe SO much on the thing. if i sell it for, say $5000... i still have another $6000 to get the title for the new owner! i don't have that type of money....

BLAH!!!
