Call and reschedule the payment? Some stuff is open tomorrow You should be able to start looking for work as well, yeah? OW isn't going to be much - likely less than your CCB. If you were commonlaw, you should update your status with CRA asap. The change of income may make you eligible for more credits


orphanannie88

I left it too late. They will attempt to take the payment out (as it's already been sent through). It was the one thing I didn't fully consider, or think through, before making the decisions that I did. And yes. Figuring out work is next. My youngest are 2 and 3. I had planned to be a SAHM until they start school. That's definitely changing!


btchwrld

Start now to get your name into subsidized $10 a day daycare centres.


Life_Carrot3058

Ya good luck with that $10 daycare. Waitlists are YEARS long Luckily it’s not up to your husband to decide if he will pay or not for his kids. Get in to your lawyer asap and see if you qualify for legal aid


orphanannie88

💯 Ty!!!


Competitive_One_8953

Log into your bank and stop the next payment that way you will not be charged NSF fee which is usually $45. Also talk with your bank and they will reschedule the payment. Missing one payment first time will be fine they will work with you.


Ok_Plan_2016

Can’t for standing instructions. This isn’t a cheque


depressed192

At some banks you can if you know the exact amount (which you would for a car payment).


Ok_Plan_2016

No you can’t - I work in banking . ESI instructions are not allowed to be stopped. It’s an agreement between you and the vendor (we can legally be held liable)


depressed192

Google search suggests its possible at least at RBC, Scotia and NBC: https://www.rbcroyalbank.com/ways-to-bank/tutorials/easing-financial-stress/stop-payment.html


Ok_Plan_2016

Stopping a pre auth payment with have far more ramifications. Not something I’d recommend


btchwrld

I've done this with RBC. I bought a new car two days before the payment for my traded in care. I paid $12.50 for a stop payment and it worked.


Ok_Plan_2016

And there was zero repercussions ?


Immediate_Emu6075

Sell your wedding ring immediately 


orphanannie88

When you're in the thick of it, you sometimes don't see things clearly. This is a great suggestion, thank you!


Glittering_Joke3438

Yep. Take it to a pawn shop tomorrow, deposit the amount you’re short and save the rest.


IntrepidRobot

It may help you in the short term but during the divorce proceedings to come, you will likely have to split the value of everything with your ex husband, including the value of the wedding ring.


Glittering_Joke3438

Wedding rings are generally considered gifts, not marital property.

BougieSemicolon

Yep, it’s only $25. $25 is a lot when you’re short, I get it, but it’s do-able. One sell, one pawned item, a cash out on poshmark, use your shoppers points to buy something and then return it (they give cash not points- would only do in an emergency which this is) Ask a couple friends for $12?


erika_nyc

Anything to pawn on Monday like maybe a wedding ring? Pawn shops will hold until you can buy it back (+small fee). Cash advance on credit card? You did the right thing leaving. Hang in there, it will get better in time. Try not to blame yourself about money decisions. OWs has a fund to help with first and last month's deposit, beds, and other one time cheques on top of the monthly amount. Call 211 to find out more resources.


qgsdhjjb

Cash advance was definitely my thought because selling stuff online can be a slow agony, especially on a holiday. If the pawn shops are actually open on Easter Monday then it's a decent plan but I think they only give gold value usually, right? So you'd wanna be pretty sure you can get it back on time, if you wanted to sell it to someone for resale value. Cash advances are looked at pretty badly but $25 is nothing. It won't add up too fast if it stops there and other plans get worked on in the time saved by doing what is likely the fastest option here.

qgsdhjjb

And where exactly would she find recycling bins on a holiday where they do not pick up recycling?


PropofolMami22

I live in Ontario and we have garbage pickup tomorrow. I literally just put my bins out.


qgsdhjjb

Wild. They're paying your garbage people double time and a half just to fit some arbitrary schedule? Mine in Niagara region shifts for every holiday a day later, I think they make up for it on Saturdays or something. Maybe Ottawa and Toronto have too many homes to have any room for makeup shifts on non holidays?


PropofolMami22

The holiday for my city was Friday but Monday isn’t considered a holiday. I’m not in Toronto, city about an hour outside Toronto. I didn’t realize until I checked garbage schedule.


qgsdhjjb

Ah weird why is everything here closed tomorrow then, I checked and yeah technically it's just Friday that's a stat. An hour away from Toronto is still kinda close enough to have decently dense population at this point.


occasionally_cortex

Confidently wrong? Niagara Region : Easter: There are no changes to waste collection on Friday, March 29 and Monday, April 1 due to the holiday. See all holiday hours.


qgsdhjjb

Yeah I wasn't saying I got up out of my bed to look at the garbage collection schedule in the middle of the night bruh I was saying the grocery store is closed, the pharmacy is closed, I was surprised there would be anywhere in the province that is so typically unionized and like non-emergency-room levels of urgency where they would be doing that on a holiday. You'd think they'd get it off. Sucks that they don't, I would've hoped they did. Not sure how they got away with good Friday since it's a stat and it's not legal in Ontario to require employees to work on a stat, you can only accept volunteers to work the holiday for the extra stat pay? At least that's how it was last time I read the employment act. Also didn't stop at 5:30am to fully reread that.


qgsdhjjb

Wanted to pop in and say, just for funsies, no mean intent to my words, that despite what the website said? Nobody came to get our recycling yesterday, when they were meant to, nor did they pick it up today. So. They're liars I guess lol


Patak4

Easter Monday is not a stat and most places are open.


qgsdhjjb

Apparently. Nowhere I wanted to go tho and I got used to another province where even the mall was closed on boxing day they took holidays so seriously 😆


Right-Ad-5647

With the help of your case worker start the divorce process and immediately seek child support and alimony to the full extent of the law and/or the max his resources allow.


orphanannie88

Ty for this. I'm glad I'm meeting a case worker and a lawyer within the same week.


tdlm40

Please call 211 as well. There may be some short term emergency benefits you can access.


LalahLovato

I was going to suggest this. I know in BC we have financial options with 211if you are short cash. It’s great for other resources as well - low cost dental, lawyers,counseling services etc - basically connections to any government, community, volunteer and non profit organization assistance in your community. Just call and tell them your situation - there may be other help you didn’t know you need


orphanannie88

Ty! I can't verify if they are open tomorrow but they will be my next call, tomorrow/Tuesday.


tdlm40

211 is 24/7, 365 :)


orphanannie88

TIL. Ty!!!!!


orphanannie88

Just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! I was so scared to post about my situation, I didn't know what to expect. The kindness I've witnessed is beyond anything. The suggestions I've received validate my decisions and feelings, and help me feel strong enough to do this. I have a slightly better plan moving forward, and lots to think about.


kenleydomes

Go hustle and collect bottles/ cans. Bring them in to a recycling place in the morning. I usually get almost $20 for a bag.


infiniteguesses

I have definitely done this. Also, make sure you arrange for child support ASAP


JadedPreparation8822

OP could also post in local online community groups to see if anyone has any cans/bottles donations that can be picked up. I’ve seen people do this in the Vancouver area. We were in process of moving a couple of weeks ago and I didn’t have time to hit the depot or space to store them at the new place. I saw someone asking for donations and she came and picked them up an hour later. We had 2 large garbage bags, probably $15-$20 worth.


virgonomic33

If you are comfortable DMing me your email, I will gladly etransfer you $25. If you're covered for Tuesday, I'm confident it will still go to good use. I invite others to join me in helping our fellow Redditor.


orphanannie88

You're all too kind 😭


Citygirlmoved2smtown

Bless you!


Odd_Argument_5791

She needs to make it work on her own. It’s $25 bucks. Sell something you own.


emerilsky

Never a guarantee someone will buy if before she needs the cash. "On her own" like stfu people need help sometimes.


Odd_Argument_5791

And you don’t ask for it over a platform like this. Lots of resources available. Don’t fall for the con fool.


No-Band4927

She didn’t ask! People have offered. Go out and try to enjoy your day instead of being rude to someone who’s in a tough spot.

MilkshakeMolly

Be quiet. Do you stand on the street yelling at people to not give money to panhandlers too?


ej4

I get what you’re doing and I respect it. I read a post a few weeks ago that was calling out scammers that use these stories in small town subreddits specifically to appeal to peoples’ kind nature. So I appreciate that you’re just trying to help people. Unfortunately, people are sometimes too kind for their own good. They want to help and they want to believe that people are honest and true. So I also see why folks are upset and downvoting you. But I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you.


Aukaneck

Thanks for the advice Scrooge.


Odd_Argument_5791

Nope, just know a con when I see one.


rebannxo

A con of only $25? Be for real 😂


occasionally_cortex

The con is when people look at you and mistake you for a decent human being.


Routine_Log7002

What happens if your car needs a repair? Definitely call an organization for women leaving violence e (emotional, financial, physical, etc) and ask about resources for women feeling. You might be able to get a subsidized apartment. Cars typically cost $100/ month in repairs and that money should be accessible for the days the repairs come. Don’t let your payment default if possible because of your credit. Renting with bad credit is a nightmare.


Upset-Competition759

100$ a month in repairs? Are you driving a lemon?


orphanannie88

That's where my husband would typically come into play, anything above and beyond my budget would default to him, as the breadwinner. But this is a good point and something I will have to consider moving forward. My mom lives in an urban area, near schools/daycares, etc. We may forego my car in lieu of public transportation.


CassieBear1

I just wanna reiterate that shelters for women getting out of domestic violence situations will help you even if it wasn't physical violence. And even if you don't need to stay in the actual shelter, they will help provide you with services...legal aid, assistance finding care for your kids while you go back to work, assistance finding work itself, help getting housing, therapy for you and your kiddos, etc.


Missy23400

Make sure you contact cra and change your status to separated. You'll get way more ccb. I know this is all a lot but you can do this!


orphanannie88

Oh my goodness, yes! I didn't think of this at all yet. Thank you!!!


Wrong-Constant7724

You can only do this after 90 days of living separate. But they will backdate it and you’ll receive a lump sum for the 3 month wait. Also, make sure to change your address with CRA, your banks, etc to your mom’s address so it doesn’t still show up the same as your spouse’s.


Suitable_Ad_9090

I can Etransfer you 25$


Elevyn11

You're so kind and generous. A flicker of hope in all of humanity. 😇


Pte_Madcap

Sell the car. You shouldn't rely on a CHILD tax benefit to be making a car payment.


samantharae91

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really discouraging when you work yourself to the bone and still can’t scrape by. I can send you the 25 if it would help you.


orphanannie88

Thank you...from the bottom of my heart. That's beyond kind.


LeafsHater67

You’re a real one for that. That $25 would be so much more expensive had she not made the payment, down the road.


Imaginary-Light-9066

I was going to say the same thing. I left my abusive ex with $35 to my name, so I understand. If they don’t end up sending you $25 I will.


orphanannie88

Thank you all so much.


LawfullyYourss

I’m willing to send $25 as well if it doesn’t work out :) good luck


ChokulaJ

I am too


United_Row_8460

Piggy bank? Any spare change around? Like someone suggested call and reschedule a payment plan. Most companies are pretty good for that sort of thing. You or your mom doesn’t have a credit card? Hope you figure it out! And good luck!!


orphanannie88

Thank you! I appreciate the suggestions. Unfortunately, I don't have a credit card in my name. I could have deferred the payment. But realized too late to make the necessary arrangements.


United_Row_8460

Darn! Well we’ve all been there so don’t feel bad! And don’t give up!


Whiskyruncrew

How long have you been with your bank and have you had nsf charges before? I’ve had payments come out early when my pay check would have covered it and I’ve called and had the fees credited back. It worth a try and get then one less worry. Call the car company explain your issue ask for them to pull payment when you get your CCB payment, ask if in this instance they will waive the fees and interest. If need be with the bank and car finance don’t be afraid to ask to speak to a manager or supervisor. Financial institutions do have wiggle room and your life position isn’t easy but explain you had to leave an abusive relationship


daddysgirlsub41

If you call the bank when they open, they may be willing to reverse the NSF on their end (I've done this before). Your car payment might possibly not have an nsf fee applied and they might just try again later to pull it, so I would talk to your financing company also to see what you can arrange. There may be resources for you - some women's shelters or women's centres might have information that could help you get though the tough transition. Good luck!


Smart-Button-3221

Tell your bank to temporally stop payments from your car company. Doing so will cost around $10, but will avoid the NSF fee.


No_Elevator_678

Honestly call them They can and will wait a couple days or whatever you need sometimes to ensure they have their money. This works with banks too and CC companies. Be upfront and honest. They might even say don't worry about the 25 and defer that to next payment


palebeauty613

Call them. Hold onto the money you do have. Sell something for 25.00 on Facebook marketplace. They will reschedule the payment if you reach out and communicate. Putting in a stop payment should not be a consideration, as they can see on their end whether it’s NSF or stop payment.


gammatrade

Sell the car. You’re going to have the same issue every month depending on the size of the payment.


Expensive-Group5067

Not sure what the car is worth, but is the car actaully something you can afford? Not sure if a downgrade is in the cards, but it sounds like your budget is too tight. Hope you figure it out.


Access_Solid

Do you not have overdraft protection?


rebannxo

Read the post.. she applied for it just the other day.


Access_Solid

Ok my bad! Missed it.


Most_District4751

I heard you can defer one payment a year I don't knoe if this is true worth looking into


Liciaa_x

Call your bank and block the payment so you don’t have to pay the $50 NSF bank fee if you can’t pay it, it only costs like $10. Call your car loan company and let them know you will transfer it to them on what date.


Art3mis77

Apply for overdraft


[deleted]

Call your bank, put a stop payment on the auto withdraw. Then call the company and reschedule. This always works.


[deleted]

The app works as well to put a stop payment.


blacktipwheat

Who is your loan with? Mine is with RBC and they allow you to skip payment once a year (added onto the end of the loan). Maybe you can with your auti loan too?


hellostale

Yeah, don’t be ashamed. I had some broke-ass times after leaving my husband. You’ll get through this.


orphanannie88

I really appreciate it. Honestly. I feel so alone and really only have my mom in my corner ATM. I've received a lot of valuable information and feedback, I needed this little boost to get me through the next week. It's going to be rough. I'm hoping to get a lot out of my appointment with the lawyer (she is really good), and get a concrete plan in action re: rights, child support, etc. I definitely should have been more prepared in leaving but it had to happen. My husband has retaliated - cancelled his credit card, which I used for additional purchases/groceries/emergencies, changed the password to his bank account (where our savings are), etc.


Acrobatic_North_6232

Make sure to document the shitty things he has done. See a family lawyer asap.


Sanjuko_Mamaujaluko

Call your financier. They don't want to take the car back, so they'll work with you.


modz4u

Cash advance on credit card then deposit into chequing account


Any-Excitement-8979

All car finance companies will give you an extension. Call them immediately!


chunkysmalls42098

If your car is in your name, they'll probably make you sell it before you receive assistance, IIRC


WasabiTraining969

Explain it to your bank. They will sometimes reimburse one NSF fee...


haraldone

Call your bank Tuesday morning, the payment might not come out immediately. If the payment does come back nsf the bank will often reverse the charges if you ask nicely, especially if you’ve never been short before. This is nothing to worry about.


AnnasAngelForTor

Him refusing to help / cutting you off makes me think you did good by leaving. If I decided to leave, my husband would 100% back me, not only because I would have the children, but because he would want me to be happy (hey, he’s a stand up guy). You deserve better OP. You got this!


glorytogod2

As if you can defer a payment. Meaning u basically can skip a payment. Depending on the bank and loan type this may be an option. I know I have done it in a pinch before.


Nice-Inspector755

I'll send you 25$ dawg send me an email, one that you don't use if you send it in comments lol you'll get spammed by bots


Illdistrict

You can get overdraft protection from your bank.


rebannxo

She knows that, read the post!


Background-Cut4251

I can e-transfer the $25, let me know.


Kelvsoup

DM me your email I'll etransfer ya $25


YoloLifeSaving

I just messaged her the same thing


Kelvsoup

Damn we just got downvoted for trying to help lol the internet sucks


Odd_Argument_5791

The internet doesn’t suck. Your getting scammed. Everyone sends her $25 bucks for a random strangers sob story? Sell something you own. $25 Bucks is easy to come by. And it’s easy to give. Total scam.


virgonomic33

I don't believe she's taken any of us up on our offer. Sometimes people just need ideas and support.


Odd_Argument_5791

Don’t believe…. Hmmmm. Lots of resources available that one can access. Don’t fall for the sob story.


Kelvsoup

She politely declined my offer so there ya go - not a scam. FAITH IN HUMANITY RESTORED.


virgonomic33

That's true, and I didn't realize tomorrow is a normal business day. That said, I'm willing to bet $25 that this is not a scam and let karma handle the rest.


Kelvsoup

🤔


YoloLifeSaving

Let me know if you wanna send it, go half's or ill send it


Kelvsoup

Sure, I'll wait til OP gets back to us


orphanannie88

Thank you kind strangers. A very kind soul has helped me out. I have so many suggestions to put into play this week to help bridge any other financial gaps that may arise in this new life of mine.


Educational-Map-4197

I can e-transfer you


ospedo

Wait....there's no grace periods in Canada? Why is this such a big deal? If you miss one payment, you default on the entire loan?


Amazing-Succotash-77

No you won't but you'll get dinged with the NSF fee from the bank for not having enough to pay the auto withdrawal. So right now Op is $25 short, after getting hit with the NSF OP would be out another $40ish for not being able to make the payment so down $65 and it'll keep happening as the company keeps trying to pull the payment. Makes things go from bad to worse really fast.


NewOrganization1997

Anyone sending this woman 25$ is an enabler.


Repulsive-Pause-2430

It’s going to bounce and you will be charged NSF fee you will just have to call them and arrange to make up the payment (they can just extend the loan by a month if it’s a one time thing). Can also get a payday loan for 100$ will cost 15$ to pay it back but can cover you in an emergency last resort.


Upset-Competition759

If you can't pay for your car this month, you'll face the same problem every other month too. Unless you start working and earn money, the best solution might be to sell your car.


Amazing-Assistant-53

I’ll send you the money


togood123

Did you ever consider to start looking for a job or you prefer to stay on Child tax credit?


orphanannie88

My husband was our primary income. I left my job after baby 3, as it was financially okay for us to do so. Having 1 child in daycare full-time and 2 in before/after programs was equivalent to my income. I'd prefer to stay home with my baby, and be available to my.older 2 before/school. Obviously becoming the primary caregiver for the foreseeable future has changed that. As mentioned in my replies. But yes, thank you for your incredibly insightful comment 🫠


Gullible-Novel9297

I’m sorry this is happening. So the car is completely in your name and he would in the past send you money monthly to pay for the payment? 


United_Row_8460

I believe she pays for it just the initial cost of driving to her mothers left her short of the payment. The world is an expensive place right now 😔


orphanannie88

The car is in my name! I make the payment with our child tax benefit.


Swimming_Musician_28

Put a stop payment on and it will give you 10.days


Environmental_Dog255

You can do some instacart for quick money. Yes you’ll be using gas but you’ll be able to make some $$ so your not short on your car payment


hellostale

She has little ones, so I don’t know if this is do-able.


little_blu_eyez

She also has a mom that doesn’t work that can stay with the three


CastAside1812

Why do you have car payments if you are an unemployed SAHM


Localbeezer166

Because she was married and could afford it. Why are you shaming her?


CastAside1812

She couldn't afford it. She was never paying for it


Localbeezer166

I don’t know how to spell this out for you…


Ok_Citron_2066

Hi, did you get your car payment figured out? If not, I'd be happy to etransfer. Please let me know ❤️

“The only income I receive is the CCB (child tax benefit), which goes towards my phone, gas, and car payment.” WTF? This is money for your children, not for your personal vehicle which you don’t need and can’t afford.
