Trying to learn the ins and outs of all this, but I dont know the meaning of these

[ready2puke]

abreviations everyone uses..Is there a reference list anywhere on the site?

A list would be a great help to all of us newbies..

Like what does IIBI mean...

It's a designation on credit reports that shows an account was Included In Bankruptcy - IIB. There is no abbreviation IIBI that I'm aware of.

A list would be a great help to all of us newbies..

It's a good idea that's been discussed before. However, there are two reasons it hasn't been done:

(1) Many of the abbreviations used here aren't related to bankruptcy. They are from online instant and text messaging and their meanings can already be looked up in many places online - for example, DH for Dear Husband or LOL for laughing out loud.

(2) The abbreviations would be a sticky in only one forum area. It won't do any good if you are in another forum area and want to refer to it and it's a lot to ask our four volunteer mods to keep ten identical stickies up to date and in synch all the time.

That's why we haven't created an abbreviation list up to now.

In case you weren't aware, there are several online resources that do a good job of defining frequently used bankruptcy terms (including some abbreviations):

HTH! (which means hope this helps )

...How 'bout one sticky containing the abbreviations, and nine stickies including only a link to the first one?
