How can I improve my credit score within the next couple of months?

My strong point is that I have paid my mortgage and all my bills on time for the past 2.5 years. My weakness is that I have 3 Visa credit cards that total $14,000. One of the cards I got strictly for 0% interest. If I close this card, will the closure increase my score a few points since it would no longer be an open line? And lastly, I have 2 dept store cards w/zero balances.

We are going to re-finance our mortgage in a couple of months and I want to strengthen my credit profile if I can.

Why do banks get away with ripping off their customers?

We all have to have a bank account these days. The days of getting your wages in cash are long gone. So we are all at the mercy of the banks. I changed jobs recently and when asked for my bank details gave one digit wrong. Pay check was returned from bank. I was told it had goine in, went shopping and was charged £75 for every transaction I made with my card. (one transaction was for £9.99. Total charges £75 - for three small transactions, less than £100 overdrawn.

Career in Tax Preparation?

I'm ready to jump from engineering (boring) into a full time career in tax preparation. I just love taxes to the core of my very being (don't bother telling me how weird I am, I know already).

There are many options and I want to hear from career tax people which they feel is the best and why? I want pros and cons. I'm also interested in potential annual salaries.

1) Full time job with a large firm like H&R Block, but not as a manager or any other job where you don't do many actual returns.

2) Tax firm franchise owner...should I purchase an existing office or start a new one.

3) Hang out a shingle and start my own office or partner with someone else who has done this, learn from them, then buy them out.

I have enough cash to weather a few years of low income, but I am not interested in an extended dry spell. Also, do I need a CPA degree or just an EA?

What do you do in the summer months to stay busy?

Thank you all for your time.

now what do I say?

Yesturday I had a meeting with an employee of mine in the resort where I am Operations Manager, about her need to improve. It is now approaching her 90 days and I pointed out a couple incidents where she did not get the job done and I had to pick up her slcak the next morning. In this business we can make mistakes or miss things because then the guests are the one lose. So I made it clear that there weret hings that she needed to work on. I asked her if she had anything to say and if she felt she needed more training and she said everything was fine and did not argue to anything in her defense. She was very monotone about it all. The this morning I came to work and again there were things that were not done. What do I do now? My boss tells me we need to give every opportunity to succeed, but how many more chances? I am frusterated at this point and everyone eles is to. I dont have the tactics to apporach her yet. What should I tell her?, Do I need to meet with her again?

Do credit card companies feel guilty about 20% interest? Should they?

On the one hand, adults have to make good decisions for themselves and the credit card company isn't responsible for their customers' spending habits.

On the other hand, credit card companies make it soooo easy to overspend and soooo difficult to pay off a large balance.

What say you?

I was thinking of becoming a loan officer for a mortgage company. Can I make a lot of money doing this?

I would be getting a small draw against commission, 2k a month. The company says they do mostly subprime loans, so there are always sales to be made, regardless of whether the real estate market is hot or not. Does every mortgage company say this? I need to make over 100k per year. I'm very aggressive on the phones and have no problem working long days. Should I do it?

Can a human resources offer a job and then decline it after we did everything to move?

My husband work for a big company, they offer him a job in the same company in the north and right now we are in the south. So he accepted their offer and was released of his other job and then when we we're on the road for our long trip to the north to find an apartment, he got a call telling him he can't have that job anymore! We we're shocked ! Here we are in the middle of nowhere with our 3 kids and we had planned and made everything to move on nov 16th like booking a moving truck, cancelling our lease, ... So anyone being through this or any lawyer could answer that question? I think it's not fair at all, if they offer a job it means everything is fine and my husband didn't do anything wrong they just decided that like that. SO here we are between our packing boxes. My husband is seeing his boss(the one in the south) next week and he wants to fight to have this job in the north back because we think it is not right to just dumped us like that. Thanks for any answer!

I live in Indianapolis, IN I am looking to start my own office cleaning business, is there anyone needing me?

I am looking to start my own business while maintaining a life at home with my kids. I would like anyone who reads this to respond if you have an office or know of someone who is looking for someone like me. We can talk and hopefully negotiate. I know its hard to wonder what kind of person you may be dealing with being you don't even know, but I am happy to meet with you and work out a deal. I am young 28, but trust me I am very reliable. My kids & the bills in the mailbox make me reliable. I have a strong work history, ethic. I was a former manager (GM) and now I am hoping to launch off my own business. I'll also have more time for my family. Thanks. ps I will even work out a % for referals on jobs or accounts.
