Business & Finance - 13 September 2006

Just wondered because they offered me free checking, and online banking and some zero percent interest loan to pay off some credit card debts.
They asked me to bring in my stack if I bonds and cash, and stuff so they can turn it into an investment. I think he said a CD.
Would you do this?

I have a business that we market legal service membership which also includes a membership to a website that is full of resources for small business.

Right now I'm using a free directory listing to get me into the door of the small business. I have tried cold calling over the phone with a short script and setting an appointment to go in for the free directory listing. This leads me into talking to them about our legal service membership while I'm there getting their information for the free directory listing. I have also tried walking in cold and asking for the owner or maybe I already have their name and I try to set an appointment to come back in for their directory listing or if they are free I can do it right then. Again this all leads me into talking to them about my service.

What my hang up is, I'm not sure if cold calling over the phone is better than just walking in off the streets. How should I introduce myself and explain why I'm here so I don't sound like the typical run of the mill sales people?? If you have a business, why do you choose to talk to some sales people versus others? Do you prefer someone just walking in cold or would you like for them to call you and set an appointment? Please give me your feedback and any advice you have.

In this context does she have any statutory filing requirements with Federal or State authorities just because she filed for an business name. Please let me know.

I check my credit quarterly and I noticed tonight a collection listed from an MCI accont dating back to 2001. The Collection agency has had the account since 2004. I contacted the collection agency and while they had my correct phone number on record, the address had the wrong city. They confirmed that they have had returned mail. So, attempts to contact me have been futile. I don't have any record of them calling me either. The debt is only for $50! It seems to have dropped my credit about 70 points.
First, can I be held accountable for this since they had the wrong address?? Also, I really have no idea if this account is even valid. I might of had MCI for long distance for a short period of time, but, this was 5 years ago. I disputed this through Experian and I am waiting for the results. Anyone have advice as to how to get this off my practically spotless report. Even if I pay the $50, will it increase my score or must I attempt to get it removed for that to happen.

Whenever I see my CEO, he always ask "So, what's new?", expecting great answers from me....always caught off guard, I don't know what to answer, knowing it's a deep question to answer....what would you answer each time it happens? Assuming you are one of the Supply Chain guys in the company.

I hear that there are programs that offer financing for home buying with no credit check. I also hear that you can get business credit without using personal credit.
