I'm curious about which Credit Cards (Like Visa, Mastercard, etc...) would allow a teenager to apply with no previous credit history if a parent cosigned.

Thanks.

I recently had a negative charge-off that I paid in full removed from Equifax. I did not dispute this item w/ Trans Union or Experian because I didn't want my score to go way down by disputing items, so i only contacted Equifax. The paid charge-off has been deleted from Equifax and now I think it is only fair that TU and Experian remove this derogitory item as well as I am trying to obtain a mortgage and this is highly affecting my score. Once this got removed, my Equifax score went up over 100 points. If i Dispute this with the other 2 major bureaus, can the colleciton agency come back and say that they won't delete it from the TU and Experian? Why would they remove it from one bureau and not the other 2, can this happen, or since it is deleted from Equifax, the other 2 bureaus have to report the same thing? I don't want to ruin my chances and want to take care of this matter the best way possible. Let me know if anyone has any advice! Thanks!

I think it should be legal. no one has ever died from marijuana. It is safer than any other drug that is legal or illegal.

I got my credit report today and it shows that my total credit amount is $300 and I have $296 available. After further inspection I noticed that only one credit card had reported a credit limit/max balance and that all of my credit cards hadn't been reported since April. Is there an effective way to contact the credit card companies and get them to report accurate and up to date information to the credit bureaus? I feel that this issue is affecting my credit score, so I would like to fix this.

Thanks in advance.

I have applied twice for a credit report like the law says I'm entitled to. I received only a long list of questions wanting to know all kinds of things they have no business knowing. I answered all the required questions on the original application. Is this because I always pay cash and don't believe in credit cards or loans? I feel I'm being discriminated against because I take care of my credit appropriatly. Why can't I get the report?

I have several oversea traders who are GOOD and I want to start a business where by people invest through me, and i let the traders do the trading, and then i pay back the investors. I guess a sorta investmetn company.

I want to form an LLC, but i was wondering the legalities of it, and if i can use my bank account to hold the funds during transfer (sort of like my own sort of escrow agent i guess).

Is there a way i can do this in the US or outside the US? Thanks,

....but as a tennant, there is no way (that I've found) to do the same for your landlord.

For example, we are excellent tennants, have always paid on time and had very good inspection reports from the real estate agent. But our last landlord was a pain in the butt (as was one a few years ago). Over the 12 months we lived there, we put in 4 maintenance repair forms for 2 problems we had - and even after putting the request in writing and doing follow up calls, the real estate agents always said "we're still waiting for the landlords response". Quite frankly, it was the main reason we didn't renew our lease.

I do ask the real estate agents when I'm viewing a house as to what the landlord is like, but they seem to have a loyalty to them and won't always divulge the truth. Annoying!!

I am upside down in my auto loan. I am hoping that this will help me out of my truck so I can get something better on gas and cheaper. I owe about $12,500 and the value I looked up said about $8500. I will probably get less because it has some problems and needs a little bit of fixing.

My roommate and I are moving out of our 2/2 apartment, just built in 2005 (we are the first and only tenants thus far). I recently found out that our lease says that we're responsible for getting the carpet professionally cleaned (no do-it-yourself Rug Doctor) before we move out. I had no idea about this until now. We're never home and have no furniture in the living areas, so the carpets are IMMACULATE -- no stains, odors, matting, anything. The bedrooms have no stains or damage-- just normal wear and tear, and even that's stretching it. Do you think they would reconsider this provision after agreeing to take a look at the apartment and seeing it's in pristine condition?? It would be a total waste of $200 to have a company come out. I'd much rather pay $20 and rent a Rug Doctor for a few hours. Any experiences, advice would be appreciated! =)

Regardless of what I do or how well I do it at work my supervisor always makes me feel like she is going to fire me. Sometimes she will yell insubordination when I am asking a question. She recently had a fellow employee create a checklist to follow. Getting used to it has been a challenge but I use it. We are supposed to double check each other's work for mistakes and the checklist was created for her to get out of having to proof read the work although that is her job. If she finds one mistake in my work she threatens diciplinary action. Everyone has one or two details that are missed. She also acts like a child when she is mad not making eye contact, whispering behind employee's backs and gossiping. She throws her weight around like she is ALI. And if anyone asks a question we are being insubordinate or if we question her directive, when we know she is wrong, we are dirt. Help.

With just our credit debt (not including our vehicles) we're around 45,000 in total debt. Now I want to consolidate it so I can help my debt to income ratio since it's based on your pay out per month. We're coming up where we need to refinance our house and I need to take care of this issue.

Has anyone been in a similar situation, and if so what company did you use? Thank you!

I have a 401K through my employer. It is 100% vested.I'm 21, and a recent college graduate, so I'm told I have a lot of room to make mistakes, but I would like to avoid as many money mistakes as possible. I only have approximately $300 contributed to my 401k so far, because I don't understand how to diversify my portfolio. I have a number of options to choose from, but I don't know how to tell if they are "good" or not. They are: JP Morgan Stable Value, PIMCO Total Return, Vanguard Balanced Index, H&W Large Cap Value, Marsico Growth, BGI S&P 500 Equity Index, Artisan Samll Cap Value, MS Small Company Growth B and MFS International Equity. I need to invest in percentages equalling 100%, but I'm not quite sure how to choose to my financial advantage. How can I properly diversify my portfolio? Answers are greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Using current rates what is the interest earned after one year?

Do you pay taxes on money earned via interest?

Also, will normal banks hold that much money in one account?
