More Home Irritation

Today I had many stressful phone calls with my agents, again. My dad took care of the steps that he had to in order to help me out. I’m very grateful for that, of course. Wouldn’t have been able to proceed without him.
The stressful thing was finding out what we were wishing against. The closing date has been bumped much farther away than this Friday. The third party lenders, Tailor Bean to be exact, need their 24 hours to look over my dad’s and my information, this may take them until Friday to do. Then, they bundle their information up and send it to another government department to review and they’re estimating that they may take 7-8 additional days to go over it all. Because of the holiday of July 4th, it bumps up to the following Monday ((

We tried and tried and tried to come up with some course of legal action but found that there was none. There would be if we had a “Time is of the essence” clause written into our closing date agreement, but we don’t. Instead, our paperwork states that the closing date actually can be pushed an additional thirty days from when it was originally set for. THAT is depressing.

We’re not homeless though, we went and spoke with our staff here at Deerwood Crossing and they agreed to extend our date we must be moved by to the 12th of July. The downfall is we pay per day that we’re here at a premium rate. It calculates by taking your normal rent, adding $180.00 to it, then dividing by the number of days in the month. That brings us to a figure near 780 divided by 31 times 12 equalling 301.94. Ouch!!!
We suddenly went from paying only a little over 100 to that. There goes our money reserve we were trying to cushion ourselves with. But I do suppose it is better than a hotel AND storage would add up to (not to mention double moving with all our crap).

On the positive side, it means we have longer to clean and slowly pack the remaining things up, but we were going to be in there by this weekend. Living and planting.

Now, the next step is calling all of the utility places and changing the switch over dates and also changing the uhaul reservation for who knows when. I’m just so irritated with all of the people I have to deal with on a repeated basis every week. It’s driving me nuts.
