I have no idea how long this saga will go on.

And you should probably start before you (or they) think you should. It’s a really tough thing to do (in my experience, at least), but it can save everyone from having to deal with *much* tougher things down the line.

Luckily one of my credit cards lets me check my credit score for free so I check up on it at least once a month.
