Sorry to hear about your mess Arlene. (You could always post your picture and find a rich QZ husband! lol!!!)
Is that really true?
You can NOT get a job in the US with a bad credit rating?
Here in the UK, a credit rating has nothing whatsoever to do with a person's employability (nor should it!).
Infact, I think most employers would ideally be looking for a poor credit rating, as it would tie you to your job longer.
I really hope things work out.

Yes...and my credit was BAD, LONG before I filed bankruptcy because my income sucked from low paying jobs, then being on unemployment because i was downsized from my job, then piling up credit card debt...just to pay me rent, food, soap, medicine, etc.
As I said before, this was NOT ever the case until the last few years when Pres. Bush allowed employers to what I would call, discriminate against people.
That's like Bush and the Supreme Court CHANGING for the FIRST time in the USA's history, the eminent domain law this yea, where any big ass corporate developer can FORCE you to relinquich your home/land, ven if it's PAID for, so they can build something else on it.
Also, Bush is TRYING to get another Horrible law passed for the first time here in the USA.
In the USA, one GREAT incentive to OWNING your own home as opposed to renting (besides of course not having a landlord and owning it), is that the LAW heer is ALL homeowners get a TAX CREDIT DEDUCTION on their yearly USA Federal income tax return for the property taxes thay pay on their home and the interest they pay on their mortageges.
Press. Bush is trying to have Congress DO AWAY with that Tax Credit, making it MUCH harder to own a home, which not only is obviously safer and better for a homeowner as oppsed to a renter, but, it's GOOD for the ECONOMY when people have more ability and incentives to buy a home. Now that incentive is about to be abolished.
This thread is NOT about Bush...but, his laws have made every day working class people like me...poverty level.
This Thanksgiving, they showed the big dinner that a big baltimore charity hosts for the homeless, and out Mayor said that he was APPALLED that like 50 percent of the people that showed up..were not typical homeless people like alcoholics or drug addicts, but...
...were people just like ME...working class people that either were living in slums or hoemless, who WORK or who were DOWNSIZED from jobs...who can not afford FOOD.

Dear Arlene, I am so sorry to hear of your dire situation. I have always enjoyed your Queenzone posts. I have fallen through the cracks many times in my life, and I find looking for a job to be one of the most depressing things ever. Food shelves are helpful if there are any around you, and their qualifications usually are minimal - not the usual social service stuff. Sometimes all you need is proof that you live in their city/county, but I don't know what goes on in your State. You mentioned you are Jewish, but Jewish charities can't help you. Can you go and see Rabbi(s) at any of the synagogues in your area, whether you are a member there or not, and plead, plead, plead for a family or a group to sponsor you for a year? So many people are willing to open their hearts to complete strangers - look at the Katrina response (at least the great non-governnmental response, that is.) Does your county have a mental health division? With your stress I would think you would qualify for a mental health social worker even if you didn't qualify for their formal social services. A mental health social worker should at least know of resources. I didn't know employers looked at credit ratings as a background check. That is absolutely shitty! ... and frightening! I am curious - what are your degrees in, and what city do you live in? I am very worried about you.
Love,
carboengine
P.S. I just looked at your blog page and found some answers to my questions.

Sorry to hear, Arlene! I have spent almost all my money for a forthcoming trip to Switzerland (last dream which should have time to be carried out), though I'm not sure if I could helped you anyway.
Credit ratings? Some of US laws seems strange at least... Thanks God our Russian economy in such bad condition (although it's the second largest European economy after Germany), that such ratings (and other things you wrote about) are not necessary to us (sad, but true!).

I live in Baltimore County, Maryland.
I have a Bachelors Degree 1983 in English.
I have a Second Bachelors Degree 1985 In Communications.
And when you hear me piss off about my religion, this is another reason. When I was a CHILD, my MOM used to go to Jewish Family Services and the Associated Jewish Charities and they offered NOTHING, no food, no counseling, no emergency food funds, clothing ZIP...
..and it is WORSE now. One of my friends who I told you is also in financial trouble and living with family, her husband has CANCER, and Jewish Family Services would not help her either, and they will NOT help me.
They usually only help Jewish immigrants from other nations settling in the USA, and YES they help them find a job, help them get a home or apartment WITHOUT CREDIT, but they won't help ME, who is a Jew who is FOURTH generation USA citizen who has paid taxes my entire life and worked my entire life since I was 14 years old!
Churches are also no help. No matter what denomination church I have gone to, all they do is try to convert me and give me lectures about religion and offer no help.
Every private charity and every State/Federal social service organization I have called..and YES, I HAVE called them all, will only help you if you have a child/children, elderly, or disabled.
In effect, if you have no children and are between the ages of 21 and 65, the system here in the USA says that your life has NO value and ther will NOT help you, even though your life does have value and in my case, I have been a working, tax paying citizen my entire life and it is MY taxed that PAY to FEED and CLOTHE and HOUSE Welfare mothers with half a dozen illegitamate children, drug addicts, and illegal aliens.
My taxes help THEM. But the system will NOT help me.
I also have NO health insurance and MOST full time jobs here in the states, ALL my life Always HAD health insurance.
Now 90 percent of ALL full time jobs do NOT offer health insurance any longer. Just one majoe illness or surgery could make you homeless from the medical bills..plus..MOST medical facilities and dosctors will NOT see me/a person if you do NOT have health insurance.
So I get terrified if I even get a flu or cold, because if it gets worse or I need a doctor or antibiotic, I am screwed.

You can say that again. he's also trying to do away with Social Security and Medicare.
When my Father died, my mom collected Social Security Death Benefits every month until I tunrned 18 years old. (that's when the benefits stop because they figure the child is old enough to work and support themselves.
But those benefits fed, clothed, and housed us along with my jobs.
This Credit Check thing has runied my life and EVEN if I EVER get a decent job, I will NEVER be able to get my OWN apartment or home and have to keep living in slums and renting slummy rooms in people's homes, because..SAME thing...I can't pass the CREDIT CHECK, regardless of income.
Once they see the bankruptcy...dead in the water.

My cousin volunteered and joined Americorps. She got free meals. Free shelter. It's like the Peace Corps. I think they pay you like five bucks an hour or something so it's not total volunteering, in a way.
I think you should check into it. You could be living off of real meals for free, have shelter, travel ALL over the US (my cousin even got to help out with Katrina), and make new friends. Try signing up, not only it will support you, but you will be doing community work and helping others.
They do a buncha things from teaching little kids to planting to building houses, disaster relief, and so much more.
Personally, if I was in a situation like that, I would probably do this. However, I'm not sure what you could do with your car unless you have friends you could trust.
I hope you find a way.

I find that very strange. Obvisouly I believe you, but you have no idea how different the situation here in Israel is. People donate to synagogues on a regular basis, and this money is transferred to charities which help people like you - whether they have children or not. The behaviour you described sounds to me like arrogance.
I also don't think they check your credit when you apply for a job over here. I had no idea the situation from that aspect was that bad in the US.

I have no idea if they would take someone as old as me. A college friend of mine joined the Peace Corps but that was in 1985, when we were both about 24 years old.
Plus, I would still need funds to put my belongings in storage and I have no idea what I would do about my car..keep it? let it be reposessed?
But, I am open to calling Americorps.
Do you have a TOLL free phone number for them?

I am ALSO a paralegal and I have tons of legal contract administration and compliance experience mostly from working at doctors practices..and from doing my own copyrights for my journalism.
A job I had in the 1990's sent me to a ton of free courses that certified me with Paralegal expereince.
So...I actually had an excellent job interview about 2 weeks ago for a contract administrator position at a medical company down the road that paid about $30,000.
I ACED the interview...
But, I had to fill out about a 3 page Credit Check and I had to SIGN and DATE it giving them permission to pull my credit report..and for them to check my credit worthiness...for WHAT..to credential and sign up doctors with insurances which is what the job was for?....
....and it said that if I did NOT sign the form, they would not proceed with the interview...so I signed it..KNOWING that I would WASTE my time on the interview...
...sure emough, last week I got the rejection letter stating my experince is great, but I FLUNKED the Credit Check so they would not consider me for the job.
