Follow-Up:
Marnie, if you have paid your bills on time for the past 3 years (subsequent to your bankruptcy), you should have no difficulty obtaining a loan. If you are a homeowner, check out your options on a small equity line, if you are not, check with your bank... they will most likely provide a signature loan for you. If none of these work, your employer will most likely advance you some cash to meet your short term needs. The big issue is figuring out what lead to the difficulty and making sure it doesn't happen in the future.
