I just want to make sure that they don't turn off my cell service itself. I just want to try getting the phones on the installment agreement discharged. On the installment contract it also lists a plan ID #. I just want to make sure that I put down the right number.
Both my car payments and building payments are able to be kept up to date and while I do own horses, I am not the one that pays for them. My mom pays for their care, so they don't fall under my husband and I's financial responsibility

He told no one that the car was “spousal support “ in our divorce. Isn’t this fraud or legal in his bankruptcy filing.
