I heard that most credit card companies increase your APR even if you pay on time! What they do is they check your car payments and other cards, and if they see that you are late with OTHER cards, they still increase their APR. What gives???

I heard it's called the Universal Clause??? i'm not sure

I want to know if it is at this point "wise" to buy stocks and invest in technologies such as Hybrid manufacturing and other alternative energy technologies since I believe this is the future of automation. With the intrdouction of Hybrids by car manfacturers I believe that eventually it will replace gasoline powered cars.

I feel like I'm in a dead end. My last job was wonderful I loved what I did, but my boss and co-workers made it difficult for me to stay there. I was constantly forced to do my co-workers jobs while they did nothing. My boss refused to listen to any concerns. My boss said cruel things to me, I was in the middle of a constant battle between two other coworkers who hated each other. Overall the company just didn't care. So I gave my two weeks and now I'm gone. Except now my ex boss is making it impossible for me to find any decent work. I have been reduced to taking a job that I will hate what I do. Now I feel like I'm stuck. I'm frustrated and hurt. I don't know what to do about it. I have a family to look after and I can't be without work. But it's not right to be so misrable at work that it affects who you are as a person. What can I do now? Anyone have a similar experiance?

I have a company that collects fees from the customer every month. How can I find a company that will allow me to deduct the amount owed from the customers bank account every month? (I realize I will need a voided check and permission from the customer, but I am unaware of how to search for a company who will provide this service to my business).

Thanks

I am tired of it and I feel like I need to vent. I have no clue who my boss is anymore. Perhaps everyone! I get to do everyone favors all different departments and all the additional tasks while my boss says nothing! I am overwhelmed and behind in my own work because of those additional tasks. I have no clue who my boss is anymore. What do I do? I just wanted to walk out but i have bills to pay so i can not do that.

i pay my credit card in full every month. But that means that the credit card company is not making any money off of me right? I mean since I pay in full, I don't have to pay any APR.

Isn't that the point from the credit card's company point of view? to make money off the customer through APR?

Well since I NEVER pay any APR, am I a "bad customer" in their eyes?

Upon hiring me, my employer did not have me fill out an I-9 or a W-4. Come tax time I did receive a W-2, and had no complications with filing my taxes. I did however ask my employer to increase my withholdings and I was told that couldn't be done because tax matters were handled by an accountant. It is my understanding that an individual can have as much or as little taxes withheld from their pay as long as they square things up come tax season. I was also under the impression that employers are required to file I-9s and W-4s for each employee. Are there any situations in which this is not the case? It is a small company with less than 15 employees. Could my suspicions regarding the possible employment of illegal immigrants have something to do with this? Thanks Tax Pros!!

Unfortunately my wife and I lost our twins this year. They were both born and later died the same day. Someone told me that you can claim them as dependants for the year... and without sounding insensitive, I was wondering if this was true. There are birth and death records, as well as social security #'s. Thanks for everyones time!

So.. Buying a house and i've never paid property taxes before. I'm curious, are property taxes generally paid before the tax period or after the tax period?

In other words, we pay taxes twice a year here in november and april. When you pay say on November 1st, are you paying for the period of April - November or the period of November - April? Or is this dependent on area? This is in CA if that matters.

What items can I sell at various places online that I can make a good profit on? My sources to buy video games and DVDs don't allow me to make any profit since I buy them from the internet. How can I buy from the internet and resell there and make a profit? What items are the best sellers? I don't want to sell stuff like crafts or antiques but I want things that people can look for specifically like a "Playstation 2" instead of "antique brown watch".

My husband and I have been trying to lower and eventually eliminate most of our debts. I have found a problem and need some opinions. Our home mortgage or our car loan--which do we work on eliminating first? Our home--currently owe $7,500 with 10.25% interest with 175min monthly pymnt. Our car--currently owe $8,300 with 7.990% interest and min monthly 292.
I keep getting different ideas from reading articles on the net about which is better to payoff first--pay your car off first so you won't be "upside down" if you decide to sell, payoff house first so you don't ever have to worry about foreclosure on your home, snowball debt, pay high interest first, etc, etc, etc.
We only have 1 credit card and we have been actively working to eliminate it and should do so by the end of this year. We will then have an extra 350 each month to put towards either home or car, suggestions??
