There is life during Ch 13 Bankruptcy. Just closed on our first home
Long story short: During my college years, I went overboard with private student loans and credit card debt that I didn't need. Sounded great at the time until it was time to pay and there was no chance for a consolidation. Didn't let my wife know (yeah, big mistake) until we applied for our first home loan back in 2011. At the time, payments were too much and and decided for some relief through Ch 13 bankruptcy by myself, Bankruptcy ends November 2016 4 years later and close to $8k saved up, we gave it the ol college try through a mortgage broker. After 3 days and a lot of documents, we were preapproved for the $220,000 house that we wanted at 4.00% interest. With an extremely low DTI ratio for the both of us, her excellent credit and my improving credit (640, 630 609) we breezed through underwriting and got our keys on July 24th. So satisfiying that there is hope even when things may seem down. Here are some tips that may help those who are in the same situation:- Speak with your attorney and see what he thinks how the local trustee, especially the judge. Do allow at least 45 days max in case you need to challenge it in court- Pay all trustee payments on time, every time. My lender required 18 months of on time payments- No car payments! We started off with two cars in our plan and we paid them off a few years back, helped us out a lot for DTI- Helped that my wife has great credit- My credit scores were in the dumps for about a year until my wife added me as an authorized user which raised my scores a ton- Be upfront about EVERYTHING. I needed to write a letter explaining why and ow I got into the mess and where I'm at now- Do wait until your last "bump" of payments before applying for the mortgage.- Traditional banks did not want to touch me with a 10' pole until 3 years AFTER my bankruptcy was over. A broker is the better way to go, IMO. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask!

My plan was the same as yours, leaving me with paying the cars on my own to the bank outside the plan. I just sent more money towards the cars every month, including bonuses and income tax just to get it off my budget. My plan has gone up 3 times since I started and now it's stable to where it will not rise anymore. Ahhhh ok... the way you worded the original post it looks like your cars were part of the Ch 13 plan. At any rate... grats on the home. I plan on doing the same but as said, 2016 looks like a better year than 2015. The way things are going I'll have no new accounts and no inquiries in over a year and even lower DTI... both of which will have me looking better to mortgage lenders than I do now... plus scores well into the 700's. I'll also have a 3 year rental reference at a $1700 payment per month for this 3BR... in case anyone asks. So yeah, I'm waiting out these last few months of this 7 year marathon. That's awesome! We had to act now since where we live it's a huge seller's market and prices were only gonna go up. I went into this thing with such a negative mindset that I wasn't gonna even get the house. Hell, I didn't bother checking my credit since I filed so imagine the surprise when it was what it was haha. So at the end of this whole ordeal, my only debt will be my house and nothing else

I just update to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4s. The calendars on my iPhone are not keeping the information on the days that should be marked. The info is there in my iCloud on my computer, just not on my phone. Has anyone else had the same problem and what can I do about it? Is it at bug in the iOS 7 update?
What do you mean by "on the days that should be marked"? Are you calendar events displayed on the wrong days?

My office just bought me an iMac and I absolutely need to hook up a second monitor but there is no DVI connection on it, just a Thunderbolt. What do I do? Please help ASAP!!! The imac is a 21.5" and they also already bought an HD 21.5 ASUS LCD monitor to attach to it. I'm really trying to make this setup work but this is becoming a nightmare. Any suggestions? I looked up different VGA adapters but the only options for this would be a usb-vga connection which doesn't work on macs. Can anyone tell me if this new Thunderbolt connection will work in some way? Thanks
Using the Thunderbolt port attach a Mini-display to DVI so long as the Asus display is equipped and capable, otherwise Mini-display to VGA will also work. The Thunderbolt port is ahead devices which are not yet available to take advantage of the increased capacity in speed. Until the devices and connection cables are available, just use the port as a Mini-display port.

I bought a Nikon Camera and I then got a Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 as a special offer and special package. There is no seriel number on it, just product code on the back of the box. I can take a screenshoot and send it to you by email and perhaps you can help me to solve this. How do I get in contact with a human being from Adobe in Sweden to help me sort this out?
Find your serial number quickly

Is there some way to tell lightroom to just re-export the previously exported files?
Shot a celebration (Park, Mass and Party), went home and processed the raw files in Lightroom, Exported them into 3 folders.
Then I proceeded to edit the files in photoshop, first folder that consisted of the park went well. Files looks great, even after compressing them again.
Then up were the Mass pictures and that's where it all went down hill. When I loaded up the first image it was compressed to hell All the black areas were all pixelated, so I went into lightroom and sure enough it changed the quality from 100% down to 60%!
All my other settings were the same so I didn't accidentally reset the whole thing. Not sure why or how Lightroom did this, I've had it on 100% for the past 2 years!
Now I have to export them all over again, the trouble is there was 800 that I culled down to just 150. I really don't want to hand pick them all over again.
Is there some way to tell lightroom to just re-export the previously exported files?The short answer: no.
Lightroom remembers recently imported files in a collection, but does not remember recently exported files.
That said, you could use the SQLiteroom plugin (free, by me) to round up a collection of *all* exported files, which might help.

Is there a life proof case that accommodates the camera and flash on the iphone 5s?
is there a life proof case that accommodates the camera and flash on the iphone 5s?
I think stedman1 met to say no 16g has a back camera and flash. The iPod 5 32g and 64g have both front and back cameras, and the back camera does have a flash.

my firefox keeps on crashing i have reloaded it twice ,,there is on patten to it it just crashes ,, also the adobe flash player crashes i have also reloaded that twice ,, my computor is new i have just rebuilt it firefox was ok till i upgraded my ram ,,
Hey earburr,
There are a couple of Knowledge Base articles that might help you. First, I would suggest you take a look at [[Firefox crashes]]. This is a general troubleshooting article for crashes. Next, I'd suggest you look at [[The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed]]. This one is specific to the Flash plugin crash that you mentioned.
Hopefully this helps! -
How can I invert (is there a filter) a photo I've just taken on my iPhone 5s?
How can I invert (is there a filter) a photo I've just taken on my iPhone 5s? I can't figure out how to do it using the settings "invert" AND then apply it to a photo on my iPhone.
Not sure if you can do it directly with the built in camera app.
You can search the app store for app that will invert pictures. -
i have an phone 4s from cricket and when i text non iphone users such as android or and other phone brand they receive my text message but when they reply i wont get there message. send imessages is working its just my text message that is not working.
You use Restore to get the latest firmware build, not the Update button. You can only use the Update button, if there is an iOS update, say iOS 5.1.
this link talks about updating to 9A406 to fix the "No Service" issue with iPhone 4S:

I just deleted an email account on my iPhone 5s and all my notes just disappeared when I went to access them. Is there a reason why my notes would just disappear? I don't recall linking my notes to the email account I deleted.
I've wondered about this issue as well. I have multiple email accounts, some old ones that I don't use much, others setup for support of particular projects/groups.
I have no idea how and/or why some notes are linked to a particular account.
I'd much prefer to have the ability to link all of them to an account of my choosing, thus when emailing from a note tied to a specific email account, that account would automatically be used to perform that email.
But more importantly, why can't we be allowed to create 'folders' that function the same way as the Finder on my Mac. This file structure could then be accessed by every iOS app and device.
This type of file structure would be a god-send for the camera roll on my phone. I HATE having all my pictures in one huge clump (cloud?)! After all, who wants to live under a cloud all the time? -
I own CS6 from DVD and have just upgraded (by paying) for Creative Cloud. Is there an upgrade price or do I just start with monthly/yearly subscriptions to CC2014?
You get a discounted first year on your subscription if you own a previous product, which you should have been asked for when signing up.
