I interviewed with a great company two weeks ago. The person who interviewed me said it would take a week to make their decision. After my interview, I wrote a thank you letter to my interviewer. Last week, I called my interviewer to ask if I was still being considered a candidate, and she sounded really positive. She said the process was taking a little longer than expected. It has been a week since I talked to her. Should I e-mail the HR department and ask them if they intend to hire me?

All the time I hear football (soccer) players get paid a certain amount of money, like $100,000 , $150,000 , etc. . Is it the money they get paid after tax? In Europe? In America?

My wife had a credit card that had a $2000 limit on it in 1994. She made payments on it for awhile, but stopped in 1997 when money was tight. She did not receive anything from the credit card company until 2000. She made arrangements to pay $100 a month and made them for 4 months until she realized that her principle was going up. She stopped paying again and argued that she could not continue to pay more than $100 a month, and that she was not going to keep paying to owe more. We bought a house last year and the credit card was on her credit report, with several late payments. But it also showed that it was current and was still owned by the credit card company. We have not heard from the credit card company since 2000, but that all changed last week. We started getting phone calls and letters saying that the account was sold to a collection agency and legal action would be taken if we did not respond in 30 days. Can they do this after 10 years or is it just a threat?

You have a sum of money coming to you, to claim this money there will be a 25% finders fee. If you agree, there will be a contract to sign, and then after a short period you will recieve your refund.
In the contract it will say that if you do not pay the 25% of the refund, you will be taken to court, and at that time you will be required to pay 50% of the refund.
Would you respond?
Thank you!

I had a closing date for September 5th. Since then the sellers have been delaying the closing non-stop. They are going through a very nasty divorce and cant figure out who is getting what money. In the meantime I already registered my daughter in the new school. She hasnt even started becasue we live an hour away. my attorney just sent them a "time is of the essence" letter so hopefully we will close soon and I can get my daughter back into school but Does anyone know why this is affecting the sale. I have never bought a house or gone through a dirvorce so I'm not to familiar with this. Why cant we just do the closing and put the money in some sort of escrow. Then I can move in and they can deal with it withought stringing me along. I know they both have other places to live.

Seems I've won the BMW e-mail Lottery for 650,000 GBP. This is either an elaborate scam or a legitimate bank.

I would like to work a couple of part time jobs around my classes but I dont know what classes to take. I would not like to go to school for 4 years to find out I hate that job.

My daughter is learning culinary arts at a high school career center. Her friend told me that my daughter said to her that they are going to do some wine tasting. Now, I know that the chef that is training them would never allow them to do anything illegal.

But, we are Mormon (which I think she told chef in the first week of school), and we don't drink alcohol. However, I know that, as a chef, she might be cooking with wines, at least in training.

One suggestion that I heard was that they taste but do not swallow. But, I don't know if even that is good or not.

And maybe I'm borrowing trouble. but, I just want some advice. Thanks.

And, please, no Mormon bashing!

Is it still difficult to rent again? The story is it was a month to month agreement and I told them that I would be a month late on rent because I didn't have enough to cover, and then I said are you going to evict me because if you are I will just put in a 30 days notice now. At which point the apartment manager assured me that was not the case, and then a few weeks later I got an eviction notice. Can I file an appeal or anything like that? This was two years ago, and I am now moving out with my boyfriend. His credit is good, so I don't know if mine will matter since he has great rental history as well. I don't know what to do and I am stressing about it. Any help/advice is appreciated. Thanks

I live in Killeen and bank with IBC in Austin. It's a huge pain to drive to Austin to deposit cash and checks. Plus lately their customer service has been kind of crappy. I'd like to switch banks. I need something that has an awesome online banking program, no monthly fees (free checking) and has debit cards. Also something local, and has flexible hours-- such as open all day saturday or late on week nights. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks! Oh and no Bank of America, I've already heard HORRIBLE things about them. Maybe extraco?
