Credit card companies are allowed to increase interest rates to over 30% if they want. They also determine that the consumer is a poor credit risk if they have high balances on loans without looking at the fact that payments have been made in excess of amount billed and on a timely basis. It also seems that when a person nears retirement age, most companies increase the interest rate to the extent that it cannot be paid by a person on a reduced budget. This forces the older person to either go to a debt consolidation company (which charges for their services also) or quit paying, with the risk of loosing any assets that they have accumulated. Either way, embarrassing, harrassing phone calls have to be dealt with. A younger person with no home can file bankruptcy and they have no permanent consequence to this action. I am 62, have paid my bills all my life and now all interest rates increased and I can't make payments, even with debt consolidation. HELP-PUT LIMITS ON CREDIT CO.

I recently received a bill from my CPA for $450 for doing my taxes. I am a single W2 filer, and this amount is outrageous. I am not willing to pay the full amount. If he insists on being paid this amount in full, what actions can he take? Would it go to collections, or would he sue me if he were to pursue this? If it does go to collections, can I dispute it due to that fact the bill is so high, and that I had never agreed to this price?

They are English silver coins worth £5, bigger than the £2 coin and have like the Queen Mother, or Princess Diana's face on one sign, and the normal Queen on the other. They are supposed to mark a special occasion. So are they legal tender? Or just for looking at. Because I have like £30 worth and to be honest, I'd rather spend it!!

I'm in Iraq and I need to move into San Antonio when I get back and I won't have time to search through news papers while I'm there because I'll have all of my stuff when I roll into town and want to move right in.

I don't want to live in an apartment, a small shack would be fine for me but all I've seen online are either apartments or 3 bedroom homes for over $1k a month.

I want something in North Central, the further north the better up to about 20 miles north of the outer loop.

Again, I do not want an apartment and I want it to be less than $600 a month. Zip code 78259 being the optimum central point.
