Does anyone else feel as frustrated with their online service as I am.

It will not let you amend standing orders online. You have to cancel one and then set up a new one.

However, if there is already another standing ording going into that account, you cannot set up a new one.

It will not let you transfer between accounts, nor pay out, more than £10,000 in any one day, irrespective of the balance of your accounts

Please read first:
I'm well aware that it is ill advised to carry any balance over that would accumulate interest on a credit card.

I'm also aware my balance should always be paid in full. I'm also aware most people believe this, and I do appreciate anyone who cares to be sure.

But that is not my question, and I would also appreciate not getting this confused.

What I'd like to know, is if anyone here disagrees with the above and why? Are there any cases that my balance should NOT be paid off? Is there some reason I should let it go past 30 days? Does it matter how much balance I accumulate?

Would it actually be bad for my credit if I paid my balance before a purchase (and give my credit card company an interest free loan). I am aware that it is 'stupid,' but this way I am 100% sure I would never carry a balance. But would doing so cause me not to develop a good credit history?

Thanks for your time and actually reading this before answering.

What percentate of an employees wages should they bring in for your company to consider them "profitable"? - For instance if they make $1000 a month should they be bringing in $5000 a month to consider them profitable. I know that all jobs are different but Im looking at more of a sales rep job. Im really looking to get a general margin between wages of being profitable. Any Input or web sites with this info would be great!

I did two egg donation cycles last year, receiving $11,300. The compensation is termed in my contracts as "compensation for discomfort and inconvenince" (or something along those lines, it's not a direct quote).

I am waiting for my attorney to get back to me next week. In the meantime if anyone knows the answer to this, I would really appreciate it. I have already filed and had my court date for my Chapter 7 bankruptcy. My Chapter 7 bankruptcy will be finalized on January 30 2007, and I will be released of all unsecured debt.
On my "Debtors Statement of Intention" document, we put "Surrender" for my car, and that's exactly what I'm doing with it.
For my house we put "Exempt" which made the equity exempt and allowed me to keep the home without a forced sale. The problem and question is with my home. The mortgage company's lawyer is pressuring me to "Reaffirm" by January 30. She says of I don't sign the reaffirm agreement then it will default to "Redeem" "Redeem" seems to mean pay a lump sum or surrender the property? The question is; Is a Chapter 7 debtor's home mortgage limited to reaffirmation, redemption or surrender, after Exempt? My attorney says there is a 5th choice, do nothing.

I am travelleling to the USA and plan to buy a camera which costs around USD 600. In many parts of the world you can get the TAX component of such an expense refunded at airport or similar place.
Is there anything at LAX like this?

Hello. I have just received a $40,000 inheritance from my father. He passed away two years ago but I was to receive the inheritance only once I had turned 18. So my question is - do I have to pay any state or federal taxes on my inheritance? I live in California. Thanks in advance!

I was wondering if a person has $500,000, which would the better choice to invest in; real estate or safe investment that yields 7%?

I mean think about it, if a person puts $500,000 in a safe investment that yields 7%, he would make $35,000 a year. In 20 years he would earn $700,000 off of that safe investment.

Or should he put $500,000 into real estate and sell it in 20 years?
I mean would this be the better choice? Would he get more money out of this method?
