Business & Finance - 4 July 2007

Then I transfer money from my account to the credit card company and it is paid. I feel it is much safer.
But I went to get gas and it didn't ask for my pin number.
I simply swiped the card and it said pump the gas.
After I filled it up out came a receipt telling me how much they added to my bill. Anyone who stole this card could get gas with it. That scares me. Is there some way I can get the credit card company to make the gas station ask for a pin number?
I would call them but after press this number for hours and where the place is and my balance. After two hours never talking to a real person. But moving in a circle of press 2 for go to hell. I gave up. Can i get it done?

I'm 18 and will go to college in the fall for nursing. I need a job and would love if it could have some kind of purpose. I really want to make a difference now; instead of waiting until I graduate from college. I would really like to do something that makes a difference, whether that would be organizing fundraisers, running food/clothing drives, helping sick people, etc. I do have my high school diploma and am a really fast learner. My question is: Can I get this kind of job with no degree? Where do I look if this is possible?

(I live in RI and have worked retail for 9 months and can also provide excellent references.)

Thank You!!!

When I first started my job, on holidays (like july 4th, thanksgiving, christmas) we would get the day off wth 8 hours paid if it was on a work day. Recently my company sent out a notice to all employees saying from now on, they will be using our PTO (paid time off) that we have accumulated to pay those 8 hours during holidays. It sucks and im just wondering if they can do that.

I have worked hard all my life and can not afford 300 400 500 or more thousand for a house. What I am seeing in RI and MA is 3000-4000 sq foot homes with big tags. A 2000 sq ft home is still overpriced at 300000 range. Who can afford this? I earn more than the average 10 bucks an hour person. What can we do to revolt? Perhaps it is time for a new "Boston Tea Party"?

I have heard of companies that you pay a $250.00 fee to and they make your credit clean, and promise you a credit score of 620 or better within 4-6 months? Is this a scam or do companies like this really exist??

Found a house, offer has been accepted. House is 2 and a half years old. Home inspector found minor water stains on corner of a basement wall. He also said that the downspout was discharging water close to the basement and not a huge issue. We decided to buy the house. Is this pretty common ? The wall wasn't leaking and no water was in the basement. Just few blocks of water stains on concrete walls.

I've never sold a house before and plan to sell mine next summer. I bought it in august 2006 but did not move in full time until december 2006. I was staying there about a week per month until december, but was paying taxes, utilities, etc. So does this mean that if I wanted to sell it in august of 2008, I will still have the capital gain tax applied to me? Would I have to wait and sell it in december of 2008? I think it'd be difficult to sell a house in the winter. Also, I have full ownership of the home and am not making mortgage payments, does this make any difference?

I have friends that say two different things. How does it apply in Florida law - If I make a large payment towards the principal of my trailer, which was sold to me as a privately finaced deal from the seller, will it lower the monthly payment of the mortgage (since the principal is then lowered) , or will it just shorten the time to pay the loan of the remaining balance, reducing interest and not affecting the monthly payment amount ?

I want to sell my house next year. I bought it from someone who did nothing to improve the home or property while she lived there, so I made a lot of improvements to it in a short period. I put in new flooring throughout the house, bought a new boiler, put in new blinds, touched up the exterior paint job, and improved the landscaping. I've only lived here a year and a half, and the improvements totaled over $20000, so there will be a jump in my asking price. For potential buyers who see this price jump in the selling history, will they understand (or be told by the realtor) why the cost of this house went up between the time I bought it from the past owner and now? Are these improvements the type that will be noticed? My biggest concern is that I put all this money into improving the property and I could somehow lose money, because the potential buyers won't like/understand how the price increased in such a short period.
