homlessness can everything to do with bad credit. Landlord is selling house, we need to be out by the 15th, cannot qualify for a home loan . . . nothing to rent in this rural town . . . can you see how precariously I am sitting??? I used to have the attitude of some of you on this board, very arrogant, no empathy or sympathy . . . until it happened to me. I used to work in a bank and SWORE this would NEVER happen to me . . . I hope YOU never have to eat your words too . . they are hard to swallow.
