I freaking KNEW it! After saying several times last week that all of our ducks were in a row, all Ts crossed and Is dotted, and that we could expect a check this week (on tape), now we're being told that they need some new paperwork that will take at least a month, probably two, to get/process. Paperwork that we were specifically told as late as lady Friday we specifically did not need. A letter from the first contractor that didnt do any work on our house saying they didn't do any work on our house.

It’s been imossible to reach these people, the first contractors. They changed their phone number and the address is over an hour away from us. The only resolution, according to the bank turds, is to send a registered letter to the first contractors requesting the paperwork from them, and if they don’t reply in a month, send another registered letter. If the first contractors don't reply another month after that, then bank turds will accept that as proof that they aren't involved with us.

Two months. Two more months that our house sits there neglected.

After chewing out some supervisor at Bank Turds R Us, I decided that 2 things are happening. First, we're talking to a lawyer. This has crossed the line. Thanks to my urging, Tall Guy has them on tape from last week saying we were good to go. And yesterday saying something very different. Let's let a judge decide if it's actionable. Maybe the bank turds that don't want to pay out our claim will end up buying our house and sending us on a cruise.

Second, I'm finding those first contractors and getting a release letter out of them if I have to sit on their front doorstep all day. I'm not waiting another two months. I'm just not.

There. I've ranted. Now, to action.

That freakin sucks. I'm so sorry to hear all is not going smoothly. Warm wishes and best of luck to you. This year has been a rough one for you, it really doesn't seem fair.

Type up a letter yourself and have the contractors sign it. That way, all you need is a signature and not have to wait around for the actual letter. And you can word it to say exactly what needs said.

I can for the moment not walk. Hardly even limp. Don't know what it isbut my left foot don't wanna play. Hurts like a b#### even when laying down resting it. Not to talk about when i hadto get to work in the morning and home again, pure torture. Tried once, tuesday, in a lame attempt to get somebody to look at it but they just said they will call friday. By friday it will have fallen off or something it feels like. I will try to see someone qualified tomorrow (if i survive the night.....)

Do you have medical centers/hospital emergency rooms where you could go to get it looked at without an appointment? Sounds like something that needs attention sooner than later.

Kurben, agree with MsMod. Find some emergency medical help.

You don't know what caused it? Try soaking it in warm water to see if you get instant relief.

Kurben! What did you do? Maybe you have gout.
No idea! The pain just showed up, in a mild form monday evening, but it has been getting steadily worse and have sabotaged my sleep.

I might try that. Thanks for the tip!

I will endure the evening then get someone to look at it in the morning. There is a place close to here, opens at 8 AM, ifthey cant then i'm heading for the big hospitals emergency intake. That is about 40 minutes by bus.

Hey Lepp, there should be a state workers comp insurance website for your state. If you can find the name of the company on that site, it will usually have they're most current mailing address, name of the main contact person and phone number. They have to keep that information current yearly in order to keep their WC insurance certification in your state. Might be a possible way to get good contact info if they are difficult to get ahold of. I had to use this method on a storm damage claim a few years ago and I couldn't find the contractor. I was able to get an address and phone number for the idiot who pulled up stakes and didn't finish the work on my house. Good luck. That's a crappy deal...

You hurt it playing floor hockey? Any discoloration? Tingling?
