Paying three hundred thousand dollars of debt before being ordered out of the house
Sarah sat back in her leather chair, her fingers resting lightly on the edge of her keyboard. She had worked with my family’s accounts for over a decade, and she knew the history of our Elmwood home. Her gaze lingered on my portfolio before she spoke.
“The ninety-five thousand dollars is cleared from your personal line of credit, Mrs. Mitchell,” she said, tapping her finger against the computer monitor. “Are you prepared to authorize the immediate wire transfer to the creditor group? We have the authorization form ready.”
I pulled the signed corporate agreement from my portfolio and handed it to her. “I am. Here is the signed authorization from the firm’s president.”
She scanned the signature page, her face showing no reaction to Marcus’s hurried handwriting. “This will execute immediately, and the funds cannot be recalled once the federal wire is initiated. You are fully aware of the terms?”
“I understand the terms,” I said. “The funds are to be transferred directly to the designated escrow account for the creditor group.”
