I am bound and determined to make some headway one way or another today.

SO .....

.......I made a call to my last home preservation specialist "Natalie"and got to leave a message again. She has normally been really good these last 8 months in returning calls and great in communication, even doing confrenece calls to clarify things after over 6 months of paperwork would get confusing when we were dealing with last modification attempt just denied in March.  I truly hope she is not ill or something.

.......Then called the number on the letter from 4/5 (dated 4/2) got a recording that there was high call volume and could not take my call, please call back later.

.....Then feeling really flustrated at this point I called the banks basic line and played with the # system and actually talked to a live human "David" and found out they have applied more funds that were hangin out there from particial payments and the balance is now $10,681.10.  HURRAY!!

He offered to transfer to the specialist to leave a message but told him I already left one today as hadn't heard from her since my first call with theese new letters on 4/8. He said he was going to notify the department and for me to be patient giving her another day to call back. I had to apologize to him as I caught myself getting loud. I tried to control myself but it's hard when you hear the same thing of wait be calm and your facing thier deadline, as the  of tears of reality and hopeless flustration seeping out, but I know it is not his fault.

I can't just sit back and loose this house on a techincality of communication, it has been 8 days since my first call with the new letters, and 17 days today into the date of the first letter with dead line for May 7th. The timeframe is fast disapearing. I was told to give it another day when I called 4/12 and left a message and tried the mutiple phone calls then.

Well "the squeeky wheel gets the oil" right?  So I then went down UPS store and made the balance of copies for the documentation needed. Went to the bank and made a $40. payment of the money my son handed me because he had it in his pocket last night. Know it's not much but it is something. Then I had them fax 81 pages of documentation for a new start on a new modification preocess (82 if you count the cover sheet)

At least I can hope they will know I am serious about this and I am trying to do everything I can. I tried to clarify the new income, changes in expenses and show the situation has changed with the paperwork sent today most of which they had not received before. At least with filling out their homeowner assistance form, there was a positive aspect....we have a little more income this time around than we have going out so this should help in thier review. I know there is a bit more they will most likely need but not totally sure what at this point, and what they can use from before, but I'm already working on preparing things and statements that they have asked for in the past with updated information just in case they ask for it.

I'm open to anyones suggestions on what I more I can do.  I am just so tired mentally and physically, but my head is high and I am pushing forward with this and trying to keep up with all in my "normal" day to day life.  I am very thank full I had a few extra hours in a chunck of time to do these things to day.
