Update: Chapter 13 was filed w court on Friday. Lawyer explained that creditors will have 90 days to object but that in their experience, this doesn't happen. They submitted to judge that I would give up all contracts to Wyndham to settle that bill in full (this includes the 2 gifted ones in addition to the platinum membership).
My restructured payments will be $1000/month for 5 years through court by monthly certified check.
Husband still angry but knowing that he will be handling all finances without me jeopardizing our nest egg, is helping. I will have no weekly allowance except for gas money (fine by me for now--I freaked myself out on how stupid I am with money!)
Hell of a life-lesson but beats the alternative of paying Wyndham $2000 for 180 months (which I thought was 5 years but it's really 15 years!!!!) Expensive fix (lawyer retainer was $3500 plus 310 court filing fee in NYS). And, I'm still upset with myself that I trusted "sales weasel" when I could have rescinded in time (he "calmed" my worries that I'd use points toward maintenance fees and just refinance loan when I got home).
I wish I had done stupid stuff and rebelled when I was a teenager--maybe I could have avoided this stunt! I guess you don't get out of life without doing something stupid (although this was MONUMENTALLY stupid!)
Will update as I go through the next 90 days...thanks for listening.
