Sunshine lifts Mental Spirits

Found my car, it was impounded by city, while I was in Hospital, for being parked and not moving in 24 hours. Estimate cost $1000 CASH, so now I am walking. Can go 4 blocks in 35 minutes with 4 breaks. Sitting outside in the warm spring Sun helps me feel better, attitude is getting better. Also I am able to ride a bike.

This seems like a totally unfair situation. I would think someone would be able to bail out the car considering you were in the hospital. That seems also very high for a ticket for parking

Iowa State law state you 30days to license a new car, City of Davenport is only 24 hours, after that it become abandoned car. I use taxi service that has only small car for dialysis. I have to cram myself in back seat now. I looking into Medical Transport Bus systems.

This really bothers me! I'd get the social worker at your hospital or dialysis center involved. Your situation is completely verifiable. The car needs to be returned to you immediately. If not, sign up for Legal Shield. Think it only costs around $17.00 /mo for basic plan. A lawyer will send a letter at no charge to fix the problem. Legal Shield is available throughout the US. You can enroll online or you can simply call them and ask questions before signing up. And, if you do sign up, you can cancel the following month. We've used Legal Shield lots of times for things involving matters like this one.

Nobody has ever sue the City or the State and won! It how the cities, countries, and state make their money off the poor and helpless.

Social workers cost money, Medicare pays only 80 percent. I make $20 too much on my social security to qualify for benefits like food stamps, prescription drug, housing assistant. I even pay particle for my Dialysis.

If you are close to to 65 and on disability (which you should be), you have an Initial enrollment period of 7 months yo sign up fir s medicare supplement that covers the other 20, percent. You might yry an appeal to the insurance companyb for a waiver. Check with an insurance broker who can help you. Also with your clinic financ
