Business & Finance - 2 September 2006

O.K. So, I'm over $14,000 in debt to a major credit card company. I always had good credit and payed my bills up until January of this year when I ran into horrible luck with my health and lost my job. No one will hire me because of my health and I'm being told I need to apply for disability, but I hate the thought of that.....so please don't say get a job.........I'm trying anything and everything and it's not working. I'm flat broke, borrowing money from a close friend to survive on. Bankruptcy and credit counseling are not options. I have zero income. My credit card company has written off my debt as a bad debt even though I was sending them $25 payments (it was something) up until May of this year. I guess that doesn't count for anything. The calls were non stop, but have now creased. I believe their collectiond dept or a 3rd party sent me something via UPS...no name..only an address but I refused it. I'm trying to avoid it, hoping it will just go away..prob not. Any advice? Thanks

They have become much more treacherous to Consumbers .
1.
By imposed intrest rates in excess of 30% on customers whoes only offense might be a late payment to another creditor .
2.
Reduced grace periods when new purchases are free of intrest . 3.
Lobbled successfully to Congress to weakenprotactions for , cardholders.
4.
Lookup in Consumers Report page15 to learn what you can do to protect yourselves . And call your Congressperson and complain about it ..

I'm in high school and I need money to pay for various expenses -- clubs, events, etc. It's mostly because I feel guilty when I ask for my parents' money, and I'm too much of a slack *** to get a job (oh yeah, I'm also bogged down with homework because I'm all up on the academia). Suggest the cheapest ways that require the least amount of work, but still make a reasonable profit.

Even a website that lists fee free ATMs in the US would help.

Hey Ya'll,

I signed the seperation agreement my company offered me because lawyers said it would be hard to prove the fired me for no reason as I live in an at will employment state and becasue I already landed anoher job 7 days later.

They gave me 7 days to sign(due 8/24) and 7 days after receipt to rescind.

I signed it on 8/22 and Fed Exed it back they got it on the 23rd, They did not issue a check till the 31st, I got it via messenger on the 1st.

To further add injury to insult they shorted me over $3500 and after a phone call I got smart and switched to email for proof and they had nerve to ask me to wait until Tuesday becasue of the holiday, mind you they did so in an email message.

I said no f-ing way send it fed ex for Saturday delivery it still has not gotten here.

Did they violate the terms of the agreement and can I now sue and keep the money?

I was unemployed for a while and wasn't able to keep up with payments so now my credit is not great. I have 2 cards that have been closed but I have been given assistance by the creditors to reduce payments and interest. So I have those 2 cards that show negatively on my credit report and the 3 cards still open that I am going to pay off that I mentioned in my question.

I have two degrees, yet jobs seem to be hiding. I've visited all of the major job sites but its all the same crap. But yet the unemployment rate is down, I would like to know where. I live in west central Georgia and I need a job that pays enough so can pay rent and my car payment just to name a few. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY WEBSITES FOR JOBS THATS NOT ON THE MAINSTREAM?

Hi there. I just received a job offer and am going to start working next week. I am currently a "freelance artist" aka underpaid intern at an ad agency. I was never given an end date for employment, therefore, I am pretty much free to leave them without two weeks notice. What's th best way to notify an employer that you're leaving? I already informed them that I had started interviewing but they don't know I got the job (since I found out yesterday).
