Business & Finance - 18 September 2007

When it comes to rates and whether the Dollar's strong against the Yen or the Pound weak against the dollar, I have very little idea what's going on.

I live in Japan and often send money home. I know the Yen is weak at the moment, so in a sense I'm 'losing' money when i send it back to the UK, but can anyone who's knowledgable about finances, exchange rates and so on give me some basic information about what I should be looking for (and where) when I monitor how strong the Yen is vs the Pound?

Many thanks.

My payday is always every Friday for the week before, and my company, as big as it is, does not offer direct deposit. There was a mixup last week that was caught on Wednesday(9/12). The error was sent to payroll and my check was to be overnighted.
Tomorrow (Wednesday 9/19) will be day 5 with no paycheck and they cant say if it will be there then too (more mix ups). I have a truck payment that was due LAST friday(9/14) and although they are holding off on reposessing my vehicle, thank God, they are expecting late fees.
How long can the company go without giving me my check, and can I make them responsible for the late fees? I cant afford late fees, which is why I ALWAYS pay on time and this isnt my fault!

My husband and I are trying to pay off his bad marks on his credit report. He doesn't have that bad a credit so we are going to pay just the little that he owes. Once he pays off say a credit card for $500.00 how long before it will clear up and show as paid on his credit report? Also by paying this how many points will his credit go up on?

I really want to do proof reading for ANY kind of company. I didnt get a degree though I plan to finally start college this January and pursue it. Is there any chance I could score a job that will let me do this kind of work before I obtain my degree or am I stuck working dead end jobs until that day happens?
