Business & Finance - 16 October 2006

I bought a car a year ago and have been making payments on time everytime. The payment was due on the first and was late by the16th and if I paid on or after the 16th I was charged an extra $12. Then about three or four months ago Capital One bought out Hibernia which is who I paid my note to. They sent me a letter saying nothing had changed and to keep my payment book blah blah blah. Well, last week on the 12th I get a call from capital one saying that my car note was late. I said no it's not late until the16th and he said no, it's late after 10 days and they charged me $26 somthing in late fees. I'm pissed because I guess since Capital One bought out Hibernia they obviously have different terms, but should I have to comply with these terms when my payment book says one thing and I have been paying it that way for a year now?! They never sent me any letters stating that things were going to change and I don't agree with these changes! What can I do?

Hello there,
I'll start applying to apprenticeships in a few days & really wanna get thru the interview, & I was wondering if you could please help by honestly telling me what you think about the answer to the given question.

Q. why did you choose say aerospace engineering as your course?

Answer -> I aim to become a manager in a technical field and this course is a stepping stone to reach my goal. Unlike other courses, aerospace engineering integrates many vast subjects in it such as mechanical eng, electrical eng, personal development, management and sustainability, which makes it even more fascinating and considering the ample scope for career growth & development, aerospace engineering is an ideal choice for me.

Its not that I'll be rehearsing it & spitting it out...wud say something on the lines, but I'm not sure if its good enuff.
Plz can you help.....it will be honestly appreciated .

Many thanks,
-Steff

I have been asked some non work related (but I dont think illegal) questions at job interviews..such as:

If you were a dog what kind of dog would you be?
Is that your natural hair color?
What kind of car do you have?
Is your house messy, clean or in between?
How often do you go to the denist/doctor?
What is your favorite food?
How long have you known your closest friend?
I could go on but you get the idea...these questions are not work related, I wasnt sure how to answer them, so I kind of dodged them...

Bored and lonely at work. I think it must be because I'm in an office all by myself. I do get work done but I don't have enough work in the day to keep me busy.

If anyone is as bored as I am IM me, we will keep each other company. :o)

I live in a small city in an apartment. I desperately need to have a yard sale, but have no yard and the sidewalk is not an option.

Do you know of a type of place where one can go to sell goods?

(I mean a physical location. I already know about craigslist and ebay.)

thx

My boss was giving my colleague a company jacket and I am absolutely astonished when he then proceed to tell her that she has to wear the company jacket instead of her own, which she has been wearing since she join the company. He is serious!

There is no company uniform for our company and he has no say in what we choose to wear. Right?

every job i've ever had i've gotten bored with after a few months. that almost makes me scared to get a full-time job because that's something that i'll have to do for a matter of years! i dread having to do basically the same thing day in day out....i know if i get bored with my job, i generally get depressed, so i dont want to be depressed for a matter of years!!!

people with a full-time job who are out in the "real world" - what do you think of this?

My husband and I are currently renting. The garbage disposal is broken. We talked to our landlords about this and they said they would reimburse us for a new one but would not pay for the labor to install it. My husband has done a lot of work on this house for reduction in rent but he does not know how to install a garbage disposal, so we would have to hire someone. Is my landlord being unfair? It brokeout of normal wear and tear. My feeling is the garbage disposal should be treated like the dishwasher, etc. Thanks!
