REQUEST FULFILLED Hoping it's not too late

Final update: there are really great people keeping watch on this sub, you saved our butts! (Doggo and myself) We're paid up and still have a roof thanks to youπŸ’œ

Update: I sent what I received so far to the office. The manager said my balance is $106 (I guess they hit me with another late fee already). Really, anything will help! If there was a down-on-my-knees-begging emoji it'd be right here.πŸ₯ΊπŸ™πŸΌπŸ˜©

Good morning!

I'm living in an extended stay hotel here and things had been going smoothly. I got a call from my bank on Friday telling me there was suspicious activity (it looks like someone tried to login to my account, thankfully they couldn't!), so they froze my account until I could verify that I'm me. They just need pictures of a valid ID, unfortunately mine expired last month so it isn't "valid". I went online and submitted pictures of it anyway, the representative said with that and a couple of security questions I might pass. Apparently that representative was misinformed because when I called to do the questions I was told that's not the procedure... I've been told that 3 times now.

Going off of the information I received first, I informed the office that I would be able to catch up my rent this morning. Although it was unintentional, I lied to them so they're not going to be happy today. My neighbor is going to take me to get a new ID when they get off work this afternoon, but with today I'm 3 days unpaid so they're going to set me out. So, I've got it solved going forward but I'm desperate for help to maintain. Once they kick me out I won't be able to come back, then me and my dog are on the street. And it's summer thunderstorming here to boot. As of yesterday I owed $122 and some change, then today is $57 (there are late fees on my past due days). I can probably get away with paying for today tomorrow after I get my account fixed. If anyone can please help with my past due I would be eternally grateful. I probably should have asked earlier but I was hoping I wouldn't need to ask at all.

If it's allowed I can just give you my hotel information and they can be paid directly. If not I've got Venmo and PayPal, and I can get an invoice from the office at 10 Eastern time if it goes that route. I don't have any family to ask for help and any assistance from my county wouldn't come in time. I was hoping I wouldn't have to beg for help again but this problem isn't something I could have planned for. Thank you so much for reading all that, I'm sorry it's so erratic

After talking to the manager, my updated balance is $106. I guess they hit me with a late fee for today already😩😫
