Regular Inquiries - My fiance has a bank that is checking his credit every year and it says "Permissible Purpose: Credit Transaction".

Promotional Inquiries - How do you make these stop? We don't want our credit looked at for ANY REASON while we are cleaning!

Account Review Inquiries - This one says it doesn't affect your credit score, are they telling the truth?

Also what does it mean that an account will "drop off your credit on such and such date"? With a $0 balance that seems like a good thing but what about the ones that still have a balance?

He was sent all over a dozen states to install safes in retail stores and was promised wages (180 per day) and now the owner of the business is refusing to pay him because he had a car accident and damaged the car they gave him to drive. The damage was minor (crease in front fender) and less than the wages he is owed. (Not that I think he is liable. Not sure about that) Is there a govt agency or such he can file a complaint with? Any suggestions? (Yeah, I know... sue him but that takes money which he does not have.)

My boyfriend just signed a new 6 month lease that begins on the 1st. We just decided to move in together but want a 2 bedroom apartment instead of a 1 bedroom. My boyfriend would like to change to month to month with his apartment until we can find another apartment. Can we get out of the new lease if he notifies the manager he wants to go month to month before the start date of the new lease? Do you know where I can find any information about this type of situation? The only information I can find is about breaking leases in the middle of the terms of the lease. Thank you for your help.

Hi. I'm in the first week of night portering at a hotel in the sth west of the UK. Wondered if there were any night shift hotel workers online?. Its very spooky, noises everywhere - i've done night shifts years ago at hotels in London but there was always 2 of us. It doesn't help when supervisory staff keep leaving doors open to the front river and they swing open after everyone goes to bed!. I'm the first women they've had doing nights here.....wonder if its the right job as l don't want to wander around the dark hotel doing checks! (i've left al the lights tonight, not worth scaring myself!). Are you a night porter and how do you find the job??

I'm just looking for templates where I can just fill in my information.
I bought a new computer but my free trials have ended so now I can't use their (Micro Word) templates. There must be a web site out there somewhere where I could just copy the resume and make it my own.

I was looking through the housing listings and found a condo listed for $150k. It's roughly 1300 sq feet with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths. Given the price I'm sure it's not updated but that's more of a plus for me. I have no problem putting a little work into the place.

The condo fees are $327 and include heat. The complex is older, roughly 30 years old, but still looks decent and they do have some ameneties (pool, tennis, etc). How much should I expect to pay in condo fees? What should I look to avoid? What kind of questions should I ask? Most of the condo fees around here seem to be high.

With a strong portfolio, a website and a small group of clients I would like to expand my graphic design business into something more full time. Without spending a fortune on online advertising, or networking my current clients (they are all real estate agents and I really want to start working with a larger variety of clients) how can I promote my existing business?

I’m looking for off-the-wall suggestions that would stand out from what everyone in my area seems to do (i.e. Craigslist, online ads). This is a small business, me and a friend who helps when I get busy, and I really want to move this into a full-time venture.

Any other business suggestions would be greatly appreciated (eh, I’m an artist not a businesswoman)!
