Petition Filed

Our bankruptcy petition was filed approximately one week ago. Just in time to prevent a wage garnishment order and to hold off an attorney representing the company that towed away my car almost five months ago, looking to collect the balance of the loan after auctioning off the crunched up hunk of junk.

In fact, we've already received the date for the meeting of debtors, which is where we (meaning us and our attorney) have to present our cause for bankruptcy and justify why we should keep what personal belongings we have while at the same time being relieved of our debt. Just under a month away, it's the first ray of light at the end of the tunnel.
