Digging Out from Fraud is Slow but Happening.

I sold some aluminum today. Having gathered together 22 pounds of aluminum, they were sold today for $12.10 (55 cents/pound). I deposited the money into my bank account, bringing my balance up to a negative $4.25. The charge is still pending, so I haven't been socked with an overdraft charge yet. From what I understand, credits are taken care of first, so if I can find $5 cash and get that deposited today, before the bank closes, I should avoid the overdraft charge (I think this is possible).

I then came home and went online to pay $20 from my paypal account to T-mobile, then called them to get clarification on charges and ask about changing my plan. I can't change the plan until I bring my balance current. The past due includes parts of 2 previous bills.

My current plan is $45.99 for 1000 minutes, free roaming and long distance (new plans are 49.99 for the same thing). In addition, I have unlimited t-zones at $4.99 (new subscribers would pay $5.99 ). However, they have a promo plan, I can move to that keep me on the same plan at a charge of $39.99 (instead of $45.99), plus if I drop the t-zones, I would save a total of $11. Not a whole lot over all, but it will help and I can have phone service again.

In the meantime, I still have the free voice mail only service from Netzero, that I list on this blog to receive messages in regards to this blog.


****Update: My balance is now $5.88, in the positive thanks to my change jar.*****
