I have worked for tmobile for close to 2 years now. I had a employee account started when I was fresh out of training at the CEC. Life happened, I couldn't afford much of anything even working full time. My account went to collections.

Im in a better space. I am looking at restarting service. I went and grabbed an HSI line, so I technically have an account.

When I went in to the store, they couldn't do it. They thought that I would have to pay off the past due first, but the dude that setuo my HSi told me to come in. He was the one that said they can wipe the previously owed amount away and get a new account started.

I called employee care, they had no idea. I got transfered to someone in activations. Im not sure they understood me entirely. They said that I have to be in the store and the stor has to call activations, but they can do it.

I work in VR. I do telesales. Ive only ever had 2 employees call in, and they should have went to care. I have bo idea about the process. They said they could swap my HSI account to an employee a count, ill get the full employee EC, etc.

Anyone else er see this?

I have a question. Our kids were removed for the state of our home. A lot of it is out of our control because it does not meet code. It is a 3 bedroom house, but 2 of the rooms are 2 inches too short to be considered a room. The house was made more then a hundred years ago, years before code was a thing.

We are trying to work woth the city the best we can.

1. I don't make enough to rent in most apartments and houses. In oregon, its fairly standard that you need to make 2.5 to 3.5 c monthly rent. Your average 3 bedroom house (which is what is need by occupancy law) here goes for around 1800-2000 a month. I dont make 2.5 times 1800.

2. I cant rent an apartment. I have a criminal record and have been turned down every single time. Not to mention, I have q special needs child i cannot just tell to be quiet. Hes uo at odd hours and can be noisy.

3. Apartments aren't much off the cost of houses here, they are fairly similarly priced.

Logically, owning a house is in the future, but not in the cards right now. Worst case scenario, they say we can't live here and get the kids back because it isn't large enough. Thre are other things too, like their not being baseboard heaters in each room. We have a fireplace that works fine and warms the house, but code enforcement have their own idea of what works.

With all of that said, we sre thinking about an RV. Something a little more modern but old enough we can afford. Max length motorhome, glide outs, etc. I know it isn't ideal for a family of 5 in total, but it would be livable until we find something else, and plenty of people do live like this.

I know CPS likes kids to have their own rooms, how would this work? They generally have enough beds to sleep 6 or 7. I would have a place to park it already.

Ideally we keep renting the house, im just trying to plan ahead.
