It started in July-WOW 7 months and still clawing my way up

I was on vacation. Sent out a few payments to my creditors because I KNEW I would have money before they could hit the bank. July 16th was payday, by direct deposit. No worries. Monday came, NO MONEY. I made some calls, was assured there would be some tomorrow.

Tuesday...no money and now my checks were hitting the bank. OVERDRAFT!!! I again made calls, and it was becoming apparent that there would be no money coming. I had been working diligently to rebuild my credit from a bankruptcy. I had one credit card with me-we lived on it until we could get home. Then I had to max it out to reclaim my beautiful dogs from boarding at the vet's office. (I still owe the other half of that..).

My first order of business was to go to my bank. I hate banks do you?
