I Just started a new job in August. I feel that my coworkers are not very open. There's 2 of us who are new in my workplace but I feel that they are more open to the other person. I feel this because they have small talks, whereas if im there, we both do our jobs and do not chat about anything other than work-related issues. It might be personality differences...It takes a while for me to warm up to new people. What can I do?

I'm $1054.28 in debt and received a letter today saying if I pay $654.37 before Oct 31 it'll be settled, but.. I don't and will not have $654 before then. A friend of mine suggested getting a captial one card and paying off my debt with it and then just pay off the money I'll owe capital one. I dont know how fast I could get a capitalone card or if I could even get one since my credit is messed up now. Any suggestions??

Like NJ's cost of living is too high, compared to CA. Why the huge gap? What is the reasoning behind this? Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I had a credit card in georgia that I defaulted on in april of 2003. Recently I agreed to a settlement on this account of 460.41, I had five days to pay this and during that time I was hospitalized. I wrote the company telling them this and ask for a extension because of this. I have not heard from them I do not want to just send them a check of 461.00 without an updated letter of settlement agreement. Have I reset the statue of limitations by doing this and have I opened myself up to a chance of now being sued for the whole amount. what once was a 500.00 bill has now added up to 1500.00 in collection fees any advise on how to handle this.

My daughter and her soon to be husband applied for a credit card.
They were approved for 6000..they used for about a month all of a sudden while making a purchase card stated declined.
They needed more info....
They sent certified signature, many other things kept waiting and they called company and told them they were tearing up card.

Ordered another card..approved for same amount....used card...today went to make purchase stated it was declined..and was asking question what kind of car was your second one?
Its almost like a repeat.
Can someone tell me why this is?
What can you do to straighten something like this out?
Has anyone else ever had this to happen?

I was wondering what type of CEO to invite to a business club that is held at our school. How would i be able to convince a CEO to come, and who would be a good choice?

We would appreciate relatively well-known companies, but we understand that getting those CEOs to come is more difficult.

We are in Southern California. Thank you

I can’t find any information on how to pay bills. The Internet just doesn’t have anything on the subject. I want to learn so that when I move out I know how. What do you do when you get a bill and where do you go to mail it? If you have any links to websites that tell you about paying bills then please post them here.

Ok I have a question about loans....My friend got two loans from two different loan stores....well my friend lost her job and she couldnt pay for the loans so she went ahead and closed her account so that when these loan places would try to get their money from their account they wouldnt be able to get any money, well today she told me that a police officer called her mother home asking for her, and she's afraid that she may be in trouble because of what she did. Can anyone tell me if she may be in trouble because of this? Can loan stores call the cops on you if you get a loan from them and then you close your bank account? Please answer me! I know that my friend did wrong but she is going through a really tough/rough situation and she tried talking to these loan stores, but they told her that they wanted their$right away and didnt believe that she had lost her job. I feel so sorry for my friend because she doesnt know what to do she is very scared...

My husband rips up credit card applications that we get in the mail. He thinks that if it doesn't contain our social security number that we don't need to worry about it.

I got a job a few weeks ago.I haven't started officially working yet,because I've been doing drug testing and all this paperwork.I have school from 8:00 AM-5:30 PM, in my application I put down that I would work from 6:00-10:00 PM. My only problem is in all the time it takes me to catch my bus and change in to my uniform, I have realized that their is just no way that I can start at 6:00,without being late.I'll be talking to my manager on Monday to give him my work permit, but my question is would it sound bad if I told him on Monday that I can't start at 6 and would be better if I started at 6:30 instead?
Does that make me look bad since I haven't officially started work? Do you think I would lose this job? My manager is very nice but I'm just scared to tell him that. Please Help! Thanks.

I have 3 accounts in collections due to surgery I had when I was younger around 2004/2005. At the time I did not have a great job or steady income because I was a full time student. One of the accounts has an amount that is very high and the other two are relatively low and could be paid. How should I approach handling this matter, is waiting 7 years until these marks drop off my credit a good option or somehow settling the amounts better? My score doesn’t seem to be that low between all my reports Ex: 627 / Trans: 664 /Eq: 630

I live in the state of Texas, I currently have 1 consolidated school loan and 1 credit card all paid on time and never late. There MAY have been some type of error in how the debt was suppose to be recorded, as the documents at the hospital were filled out to make my father the responsible party for the the bills (not sure if that is even possible)
