I just tried to buy an airline ticket on Priceline. All went very well, but then, at the very end, it said to wait 15 minutes, and I'd get an email notifying me of the trip details.

15 minutes later, an email came back telling me the price could not be agreed upon.

I then went to the actual Airline site to buy the same flight's ticket (flying Monday!) and was successful.

But now I just learned that my card was hit twice for the same flight...once by Priceline (who sold me no ticket!) and once by the airline.

How long does it usually take to get my money refunded from Priceline?

Thanks!

This question is strictly for you: I have never fully understood your concern about a candidate's unemployment period(s). I've had to explain to a few employers that I was taking care of my terminally ill mother and then had to clean out our old house. I suppose if a person has more than a few months between jobs it can cause concern. But what are you so concerned about gaps in someone's employment? If a person is before you, wearing a suit and tie and is enthusiastic about the job, what difference does a gap or two in their employment matter?

I have a total of 12 accounts on my credit reports.

1- GMAC Auto loan--originally 19,875 balance 3,245( Im goning to pay it off early in Feb.08')
1-HSBC Tax loan--- 800.00 paid in full
1-HSBC Credit Card--Limit 300 balance 295
1-Capitol One Credit Card--Limit 500 balance 150

All the accounts above are always paid on time and I have never once been late on a payment.

Now for the bad...
4 credit cards that were charged off
4 collection accounts from the 4 C.C's

Those 8 negatives will be over 7 years old in March 08'.

My question is when those 8 negatives drop off my report how will it affect my scores? Will they raise because I wont have any more negatives or will the scores drop because Im losing all that history?

My scores now are... 556 513 570... which are terrible. What could I do to raise them?

All help is appreciated!

I was looking for a place to move my trailer, when my landlord said she was evicting me. She found out I was looking for a place and someone called the NAACP on her for her saying and I quote, "You will never see a N_ _ _ _R in my park". She evicted me and told me it was because I was the one that called. My 10 yr told her who it was who it was. Now the crazy woman, will not trim down these nasty bushes that I have been begging her to cut down, that grow like a tree around my trailer and over my trailer. The trailer can not be moved unless the tree/bush is removed off it and she refuses to do it. I have this land and permits and all ready to move my trailer the heck away from this nutcase and it can't be move. Can I legally cut down the bushes? Can she hold me hostage and harrass me further with this? What can I do? She gave me a 5 day eviction on Sept. 26th. And is demanding I pay for October. I want out

I recently walked out on a lease without ever living there. I found out that one of the bedrooms were illegal and the apartment was legally to small for 4 people. We havent got any of our money back. We were told that the landlord has violated the Security act and the Consumer Fraud act. I want to Cite both of these acts but I cant find anything on the Fraud act. I can only find info on the sale of real estate but nothing on leasing apartments. Any help?

The landlord actually admitted to knowing the apartment was illegal in his Answer to my lawsuit. But he said I signed a lease.

My credit has always been excellent until I allowed my child to mortgage my home that I have lived in for 40 years so that she could pay off her bills. She agreed to make the payments on time, but failed to do that and also missed several payments without my knowledge and I just about lost my home. I need to know how to get this off my credit report now that I am making the payments on time and will never miss any payments.
