Due to a divorce, I filed bankruptcy about 7 years ago. :( I did not reaffirm with my mortgage company and eventually (about 2 years later), I let the house go back because I couldn't keep up with the repairs and such as a single mom. :cry: Other than these two instances, my credit has been excellent :) (and I have had lots of it). I am now remarried to a man that was in the military and was sent to Iraq. :cry: Upon his return, jobs were scarce and we lived on our credit cards for a few months until he got a job. :o As a result, we have quite a bit of debt.
