So glad you finally won your long battle.


Thank you. My mom has been my rock. She's been the one to save my car from being repo'd. Me and my two daughters lived off of $623 per month. My car was the death of me but I couldn't let it go I had lost everything to this condition. I knew if I could hold out a little long all would be ok. I had worked so hard to get the car it's just a Honda sedan. But it took me four years (two jobs later) to be able to afford that type of car payment. I plan on paying half my car off and making the remaining ten payments. I can't wait for the arrival hell they don't have to mail it to me....just get it to my local SSA office and I'll come to them!!
