I rent a house in Denver, and my landlord is trying to sell the house. How much notice is she required to give me before scheduling a showing for sale?

Is there are way that I would be able to negotiate the removal of a collection from my credit report?? Maybe if I tell the collection agency I will pay if they remove it from my report? Or would it be easier to pay and then write the credit bureaus and say that the information is incorrect because I have paid?? I have the money to pay off the collection agency but I want to make sure that my credit will start to get repaired, so I dont know if I should only pay under the terms that it is removed or what....ALSO...

If my account for a credit card has been charged off and sent to a collection agency is there anyway to have it removed where it says: Account charged off/past due 150 days if I pay it? Can I still negotiate with the actual credit card company or is it too late since it has been sent to collection?

I am trying to get my credit fixed on my own. I am now able to pay most of my debt, and want to have GOOD CREDIT instead of just paying off my debts. Thanks!

I've been employed with my company for about a year now and they've started this new thing of giving every employee company-wide their job reviews for a raise at the same time no matter how long they've been with the company.

Well, I recently had my review and it was supposed to be based on a 1-15 point scale, but instead of that scale, the person giving me my review told me that they were told by the company higher-ups to give us all 10pts and under on everything so that when the next years review comes around that everyone can show some improvement. I dont think that is fair. Sure not everyone deserves a perfect 15 and a huge raise but in some areas, some people do deserve more than a 10. Your final score is used to determine your raise... so if you really deserved a 13 and only got a 10, you're not going to get as big of a raise as you should be getting. It's like rigged reviews & raises. Is this even legal? Is there anywhere I can file a complaint against my company about this?

Overdue car payments (3) & lender requires I pay by 31st of the month or the loan will be in default and the total amount will be due. I have the money to pay it in full but on the FIRST of the month when my check comes in. They insisted it had to be in by the 31st. Is this right?

I understand that there is going to be a phone tax rebate for a certain tax paid on long distance during certain years. According to the article I read, you'll be able to itemize if you have records or take a "standard" deduction. Does anyone have details on what that tax is, the exact dates, etc.? I have our phone bills covering the time in question and would like to sit down and figure out which is better (itemizing or not) for my situation. But I need to know, especially, what tax I should be looking for on the bills.
