Today, six years after hurricane Katrina took everything from me, I received a letter in the mail from FEMA telling me that I have to repay them the money I received to replace what was lost. I have 30 days to repay $4,900 or the case will be sent into federal debt collection. FML

Today, I received a surprise "absolute final notice" email for payment of an overdue fee from the university I withdrew from 6 months ago. Turns out, my old landlord has been hoarding their letters to me. As a result, my credit is now in the shitter and I had to pay an extra $120 in interest. FML

Today, I learned I have over $10,000 in debt, despite never owning a credit card. Apparently, my ex-roommate had been replying to the credit card offers I was receiving in the mail. That also explains my missing driver's license a few months back. FML

FEMA just sucks entirely. I've had experiences with them. They can take their "assistance" and shove it.

Try to go public with this story and see if they back peddle. I'm not talking about fml, newspaper, press etc. Exagerate your story if you must. The public is sick and tired of the goverments bullshit. Bad pr may get you somewhere.
