There is a company that I know is illegally trying to collect money from people and they have added negative marks to my credit report for something that never even happened. Is there a credit report repair agency? Most of the ones I have seen are only dealing with consolidating your debt, rather than working to rid your report of any false collections.

I just moved into a 2/2 apartment with a roommate and some food items have disappeared along with an envelope with around $60 within a few days of moving here. I'll spare the details, but I'm almost 100% certain that I did not misplace these items. I actually asked her about the coffee, and she denied seeing it. She actually seems cool, and someone I'd like to get to know/talk to otherwise, but suspecting makes me not want to interact with her. I've thought of two options, confronting her directly about all of it right now, or planting alittle money to confirm my suspicions. Either way getting a lock on my door. This really sucks because basically I am stuck with her for a year. Any other advice/insight?

What are some good answers for those questions? Is it true some companies use trick questions? If so, what should I look for?

Today at work, a few cubicals away, I overheard my boss's boss talking about who would be in charge while my boss was away on assignment for three months. I am a temp, and the head boss mentioned to another person that they would be overseeing another temp without mentioning my name. The guy asked "what about the other temp?" and he seemed as if he forgot about me. My problem is business politics and socialbility. I think I was forgotten because I don't say much and do not engage in what I consider to be "cheesy" chit-chat. The other guy does and I feel that is why he was remembered. Do you think it is absolutley necessary to suceed in business if you don't engage in this constant form of chit-chat? Or is it ok just to be my, modestly spoken self? Thanks

I received a DVD in the mail I did not order, with a letter stating that if I didnt want it, I had to repack it in the box it came in and affix the return shipping label and then put it back in the mail. Or I could keep it and pay for it' and I would start receiving more DVD's regularly. MY question is If I didn't order it and I dont send It back
am I obligated to pay for it.

I left my old apartment in the same condition as when I first rented it (I only stayed 2 months). I had a month-to-month tenancy so there was no lease. I paid the entire 2 months. I gave my landlord the requested 30-day notice and I returned all the keys. I asked that she mail my refund to my new address but she's hasn't done so. She won't even return my calls. What are my options. I'm trying to avoid any legal recourse unless I really have to but I can't see an alternative because she's leaving me no choice.

hi - I've worked very hard to build my credit but I've been told what hurts me is that i do not have any. I make good money and pay everything cash. I just cannot stand the bills every month and because of this, I canceled everything years ago and just use cash. This apparetntly hurts me and i'm buying my first house and have placed a good down payment down already.

now, the loan company is asking me to write a letter addressing certain concerns they have. I am currently disputing a Verizon phone bill that was in "collections" as i was informed of recent (i say that because i haven't rec'd any correspondence from them at all!)

anyway, my question becomes this: what, if any, can i say in this letter to "sway" the underwriter in my favor a little if that is even possible. being they asked me to write a letter, i'm assuming they need to make a subjective decision at some point, that can be in my favor or not. hopefully someone has some insight to this...very nervous.

I'm trying to moving to a different apt. But my prospective landlord wants my renting history verified via a phone call from my current (soon to be former) landlord. My current landlord (out of meaness) has neglected to call. The prospective landlord can do nothing for me until they recieve that phone call. I've lived at this place for 13yrs. My current landlord has only been my landlord for 4yrs. My original landlord has closed his business and moved out of state and can not b reached. Her meaness is rendering my 13yrs of rental history useless. R my legal rights being violated?
