I am in desperate need to refinance my vehicle. I am currently paying payments on the vehicle but the loan has been in my boyfriend’s dad name. I am splitting apart from my boyfriend and would like to refinance and have myself added to have security and also get the car credit on my credit report. I thought Household was the easy financial company to refinance but apparently not. My boyfriend’s dad has OK credit …..Please send me some details on a good company to refinance my vehicle with.

I am investing in the stock market for the 1st time. I am playing with $1000 and see where it takes me. Will my credit score drop if scottrade.com checks my credit history? I am trying to buy a house for the first time in the next 60 days. Thanks

I live in Virginia. My employer is downsizing and 8-31 will be my last day. I am getting severance pay but I was wondering will it affect my unemployment? Someone told me that if I wait to file for unemployment a full week after I get the severance pay that it will not affect it, is this true?

I bought a car back in 95 and it was repo'ed later that year and marked on my credit as a paid profit and lost. Calvary Portfolio bought the account and has been harrassing me since then. 12 years! and they are still messing up my credit. I thought after 7 years it came off your credit but they still call me and report late payment on my credit beaural. What can I do?

My business is located in Dallas, Texas. I need a company that would purchase this stuff. I'm not giving it away. Some sort of profit would be nice. Maybe someone who would buy for recycling for reuse or resell? Thanks.

Okay so here it is. I just graduated college with a huge amount of debt. The problem I have is not including the federal loans and and one private loan. I have two credit cards. One with $1700 and the other has like $5700. It was stupid at the time to use these credit cards to pay for books/tuition/rent/spring break but now its all added up and I can barely keep up with the minimum payments. the $5700 one has a minimum payment of $150 so as you can see its getting desperate. I don't want to open another card and try to transfer it b/c I've already done that once and I don't want it to hurt my score any more. What is everyone's suggestion?

Hi, I was in a car crash in which my friend was driving and, I was a passenger. I had to go to the ER and get x-rays, and med's. My question is that will I get a check for my pain and suffering? I know her insurance is paying my ER bills and x-ray, but I was just wondering that because I was just a passenger, and it wasn't my fault. Thanks

My landlord has apparently abandoned the property that I am renting. I was in the process of finding another dwelling when I recieved papers in the mail stating that he is being sued for non payment of property taxes dating back to 2005! The paper also stated that payment arrangements can be made in order to avoid court proceedings. If I pay the taxes is it correct that he has 90-120 days to repay me or he forfiets the property over to me?

I work for a company with 4 full time employees. The owner is also the president. He is robbing the company blind. Can't he get into trouble for that or does the laws protect him when he does something like this. We've paid for his new truck as well as 2 of his houses. He owed the company $12,000. He found out a way where that not only got wiped out but the company now owes him $30,000. How is that possible?

if u file a law suit to take someone off the title of a property what are the chances that judge will make u
sell the property and divide the proceeds? I purchase a home with my cousin and her husband two yrs ago neither me or them are on the loan(a friend took out the loan for us). we had agreed that i would pay 65% of the house payments and they would pay 35%. after about a 1 1/2 yrs they decided to stop making the payments and moved out. i was stuck with the house payments so i have been paying them for about 1/2 a yr by myself, i didnt want to loose the house. now i want them off the title but they refuse to sign the deed. im just worried that if i file a law suit against them the judge will make us sell the house and divide the proceeds. even though they havent been paying for it.

What are the repercussions when a person retires & collect social security benefits, then goes back to the work force full time to supplement their income. I know that a person can earn 10/11k per year, but what happens when you surpass the amount allowed the government?

I got a call from a legal assistant yesterday telling me I wrote a bad check for $18 over four years ago and that I now owed $143. They couldn't verify anything about the check and couldn't even give me my address to prove it was really me, all they had was a telephone number and a name (although they did ask me about one address and I said it was wrong but they told me that it didn't mean anything). I know I've never bounced a check before and my checking has never dropped below $500. So now they're "supposed" to get me a copy of the alleged check and I've got my bank looking into it, but on preliminary searches they found no corresponding check. Any advice on what to do about these jackasses?

I am going to be renting a 898 sq. ft. 2 bedroom apartment in Harrisburg Pa.. and wanted to know the approx. amount I'd have to pay for electric? It includes central air, too. There are only 3 windows and they aren't too old.. We are blanket people, so we would probably keep the temp. at 65 year round.
