Really hectic getting ready for the move

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

Well… We are getting ready to get the big move rolling. We sold most everything that I was allowed to keep per my exemptions, to get the money for truck rental and apartment security deposit. The buyer of our bankruptcy estate didn’t want our couch or loveseat, as they were badly cat damaged! (Thank goodness for cat claws!) So he didn’t take them… that means we actually have furniture to sit on!

Other than that and a bedroom set I keep from my allowed exemptions is pretty much all we have to our names. We will have a little in savings now, after paying for the truck and security deposit.

Bankruptcy sale items got picked up

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

The buyer of our surrendered bankruptcy estate came and picked up the stuff today. I hinted to try and find out what he paid… to see if he paid close to the appraised value which is what we would have had to pay to keep the property.

Based on his response… I’m guessing not. His quote was

I don’t want you to feel bad

The point of all this is to get money for the creditors… but it seems like the only one making money is the trustee.

Bankruptcy Sale Our Stuff was Sold

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

I got a call from the buyer of the bankruptcy estate items we surrendered. He scheduled pick up for tomorrow. Thats a big issue off my mind. We are getting ready to move on April 1st, and thats less stuff to be in the way. I wonder how much they got. The appraisal was about $2400 – which is what they would make us pay if we chose to keep it.

Bankruptcy Attorney informs trustee we are moving

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

Not much going on. We did have our bankruptcy lawyer let the bankruptcy trustee that we will be mving the end of March. If the bankruptcy estate is not sold, or the sale gets moved to April the buyers will need to pick up out of Florida, or she will need to arrange storage until the sale.

I found out the buyers only have 48 hours to pick up the purchased items from the bankruptcy sale after the purchase. So if it gets sold on the 23rd, it will be out of my hands by the 25th.

We are relocating it’s time for a fresh start

Monday, March 9th, 2009

It looks like after 17 years we will be moving out of Florida, back to the midwest. My wife got a job offer, and it looks like it’s time to move on. It looks like a small apartment is the way we are going… not that we have a choice. Most of our personal property is going to the bankruptcy estate sale, and the few items I got to keep from my exemptions we will try to sell to get money to move. Plus we won’t have room for it in a small apartment.
