I do this, and I'm the VP of our association. In April I time-out on eligibility to serve. Those fuckers in he neighborhood can fuck the fuck off then. It's a thankless job. We've put so much money in their reserve to cover future repairs and all they do is bitch about how much the dues are. We've had all the streets re-paved at a good 15% savings, street lights updated to LED's, power generator added to the lift station to keep it working during hurricane, storms, power outages, and still, they bitch about how the lawn guy scalped their yard on time. I'll be going to the meetings and hold the new board accountable.

What are you using to check your scores? Is it a Vantage score? Did you finish paying off a loan? Did you open a new account? Did you have a new inquiry?

It could be any number of things.

I met my now wife while she was in a similar situation (recently broken up, moved into an apartment she could barely afford under the pretense that she needed to learn to live alone).

That was close to 10 years ago.

When she talks about that apartment, she’s not regretful, but she wishes she had lived at home for 6 months, saved up money for a down payment, then bought a place of her own. But again, hindsight is 20/20 and you’ve got to do what you think is best for you.

I assume when they say "Reversed policies" it means customers canceled policies soon after buying them. If that is the case, clawing back commissions paid to the advisor is common. I have no experience with Northwestern to give insight into how hard they will push to collect this money. I would guess that they will be aggressive.
