Complaint 177670 Details

WE MET ONLINE IN FEBRUARY 2008(APPROX.), THEN STARTED TALKING ON THE PHONE IN JUNE. WE GOT ALONG REAL, REAL WELL, BUT I AM MARRIED AND LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, HE KNOWS THAT. IN APRIL 2009, I WENT TO WISCONSIN TO MEET HIM, MY HUSBAND KNEW ABOUT IT AND WE WERE JUST FRIENDS. HE WAS TO STAY AT HIS HOUSE AND ME IN A MOTEL. HE KNEW I HAD M.S. AND WAS WILLING TO HELP ME.
IN APRIL 2008, HE SAID HE GOT A JOB BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW HE WOULD GET THERE. HIS EX GIRLFRIEND HE HAD LIVED WITH TOOK BOTH CARS WHEN SHE MOVED OUT. HE SAID A GUY HAD A CAR FOR SALE FOR ONLY $1000 AND HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY RIGHT THEN BECAUSE HE HAD NO JOB. SO, I FELT BAD FOR HIM AND SAID I WOULD SEND HIM $1000 ON 8/18/2008 THROUGH WESTERN UNION AND HE WOULD GET IT RIGHT AWAY. HE PROMISED SEVERAL TIMES HE WOULD START PAYING IT BACK RIGHT AWAY WITH HIS NEW JOB. OF COURSE HE ALWAYS HAD OTHER OBLIGATIONS, HIS JOB LASTED A VERY SHORT TIME, SO I NEVER GOT PAID BACK.
THAT CAR ONLY LASTED ONE MONTH SO I GOT ANOTHER SOB STORY, SO AGAIN I SENT MONEY THROUGH WESTERN UNION, BUT THIS TIME IT WAS $1500 + FEES. HE GOT THE CAR AND IT LASTED MUCH LONGER THIS TIME. I AM A VERY HONEST PERSON, SO I THOUGHT OTHERS WERE ALSO, LOL.
JEROMY WAS ALWAYS TELLING ME OF HIS BAD CHILDHOOD, SO I FELT WORSE FOR HIM. I THEN WANTED TO HELP IN ANYWAY I COULD. OMG! THAT WAS A MISTAKE. I WAS CHARGING THINGS AND HAVING THEM SENT DIRECTLY TO HIM. EVENTUALLY, MY HUSBAND AND I HAD TO FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY.
I ENDED UP GIVING HIM CLOTHES AND MEDICINES FOR HIM & HIS SON (4). CASH FOR GAMBLING, NOT MUCH THOUGH. I PAID FOR MINUTES ON HIS CELL PHONE, CASH FOR MISC THINGS, LIKE $1200 TO KEEP HIM AND HIS SON FROM EVICTION, ALL THE MANY TIMES HE WOULD OVERDRAW HIS ACCT., FOR THE VET WHEN ALL THE KITTENS WERE SICK, AND THEIR MEDICINE,HIS AT&T BILL, HE WAS ALREADY BEHIND ON, GROCERIES AT THE MARKET, EXCEL THAT HE WAS WAY BEHIND ON, RENT, DEPOSITS, WESTERN UNION & FEES, ADS FOR SELLING HIS CAR & CATS, GIFT CERTIFICATES INSTEAD OF CASH,HOUSEHOLD ITEMS HIS EX TOOK, TIRES FOR HIS CAR, 4 DIFFERENT CELL PHONES WITH ACCESSORIES,ALWAYS SAYING HE WOULD PAY ME BACK, 1/2 OF MY TRIP TO WISCONSIN, INCLUDING THE ENTERTAINMENT, MORE MINUTES FOR 3 DIFFERENT CELL PHONE COMPANIES, HIS STORAGE UNIT THAT WAS WAY PAST DUE, THEY WERE GOING TO AUCTION IT, 2 DIFFERENT MOTEL SO HE COULD HAVE HIS KID, $250 FOR AUTO INS HE HAD TO HAVE WITH HIS NEW JOB, SAID HE'D PAY IT BACK ON FRI, THEN SAID NO, NEXT FRI,Then it was tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, then it was Nate owes me $225.00, as soon as he pays me, I will put it in your account. Of course that never happened either.

10/2011 TOASTER 17.38
10/2011 MICROWAVE 41.15
12/01/2011 RENT 350.00 $ 477.11 NEW TOTAL $23,470.18

Jeromy promised to sign the contract (I sent it 2 times, with 2 itemized copies & a self-addressed stamped envelope both times he said he lost it) the signing & sending back never happened either. He seemed so sincere at the time, now I realize I was just being used.
Jeromy promised to pay me back several times, but has made no attempts. I felt real bad for him when he had no job and bills to pay. Guess what, now I have a ton of bills, including medical, due to my Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes (adult onset)+ $400 a month for prescriptions. It is very hard to feel pity for someone that plays all day & repays others for money borrowed, but never me.
