Guest Guest Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 I lost my husband nearly a year ago to cancer. In the time after the diagnosis, he was screwed out of thousands by a friend that he had leased his trucks to. My husband owned three Peterbilts. He died knowing he had been betrayed by what we thought to be a good friend. I am now stuggling to make ends meet. I have spoken to dozens of attorneys over this matter. They all want so much down for retainers..some will not even take the case because they are afraid the man will bankrupt if taken to court. I try to to dwell on negative things, but it is difficult. I am being sued on one of the truck debts that I have not been able to pay. I make a decent income for myself. I did not see this coming. I have always worked hard. I have been careful with my money, but now I am having a terrible time with the second mortgage I took out to keep my husband's trucks going. He lost everything before he died. I knew he was dying, so did his friend. If I lose my home, I don't know where I will go. I am looking for a second job, but in times like these jobs are difficult to find. In the meantime, the so called friend still has his boats, camper, motorcycle, numerous vehicles, ect. Where is the justice?? I feel like I am being punished for something. I know heaven is the ultimate reward, but I don't understand why there has to be so much misery on earth. Some days I just absolutely do not want to go on, but I will. I have a daughter and numerous pets to care for. Please pray for us. I need some strength. Seeing Elizabeth Smart make it home safe and sound gave me a little hope in our fellow "man". Please pray for us. thanks Quote Link to comment

Dee Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Sunnie a definate welcome to Mrs. S and my prayers are with you. You need to take a deep breath, find a law library in your area and explain the problems you are having to the law librarians and they can help you. This is a free service not only for the legal profession but also to the public. They may even be able to steer you to an attorney who doesn't need a retainer or one who would make arrangements for payment after your case is settled. In the meantime take a break, browse the site and make yourself at home . Thankyou for sharing yourself with us. Its nice to have you here. Quote Link to comment

Guest Guest Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 I read this and my heart goes out to you. I am so sorry people have treated you and your loved one like that. I do know from expierence that God avenges his own and even thought they sit there with all their material posesions, when it comes to the end of their life they won't be able to take it with them but they will take with them all their bad deeds unless they repent and are forgiven. My prayers are with you. I will be praying that things get better for you and you can come to a place of peace and put this behind you when it is finally settled and can move on twards the future. Hold strong to your morals, despite all that has been done to you and your family, in the end that will be all you will be able to take with you. Hill Quote Link to comment

Guest Guest Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Oh, sunnie, you have been through so much in such a short time! I'm so very sorry. There has to be some kind of solution... keep us posted, or reach us individually by PM (private messaging - go to "My Home" at the top of the messages). Sometimes you'll run across someone who has been there & can give helpful advice. In the meantime, try to hold it together. Are you sleeping? Eating good food? You need to be at your sharpest... You are in my prayers. Please feel free to vent here anytime. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{sunnie}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Quote Link to comment
