Connie, you have got to get pro-active about that bank thing, seriously. Contact your local state representative and federal representative -- if this bank accepted TARP funds, they're not in the greatest of positions vis-a-vis the feds right now. Make some serious noise, because if they're doing it to you, they're doing it to other people as well -- and it's wrong, pure and simple. As long as you're making good-faith payments, they cannot turn them away on the excuse that it's not enough, and if they then turn around and put you in a position where you owe overdraft charges, they're really getting themselves into trouble.

Honestly, talk to Legal Aid. Talk to your government reps. Start getting insistent and pushy and annoying.

Dont do this to yourself, okay? You have other things to focus on right now, like a new kid in the house that needs your love and support. If you were doing something wrong, the vet would have figured it out somewhere along the way... so dont do that to yourself.
