The Breckenridge brochures arrived in today's mail, along with a notice from the US Dept. of Education —my little cottage specs and my biggest debt in the same mail pile.
This is the second time that the US Dept of Ed. has messed up my automatic loan repayments–all this time, nearly two years, I thought my monthly payments were being automatically deducted. They weren't. Now the loan is in default. And this time, it's not my fault!
I actually got through to a live person at the other end of the 800 number, and this time, they promise me the arrangements will be kept. Of course, now, it's a higher payment and a black mark on my already sketchy credit rating.
But at least it's a step forward. Maybe my little cottage on the coast is meant to be. Perhaps I was meant to get serious about taking care of this messy bit of finance so I can see a path to getting my little cottage mortgage.
I realize that this entry seems out of the blue, there are about five or six entries I haven't written yet to describe how I got to ordering trailer home brochures…will post soon, under the category "Cabin on the Coast".
