A couple of weeks ago on the fox or CNN news there was a story about a man who started a company for people w/ bad credit to buy good credit. What he was doing was finding investors w/ a good credit rating to have a person w/ a bad credit hx to sign them up as a co buyer on credit cards in return the buyer ultimately ended up raising his credit score. It was considered to be legal, but credit companies wanted it to be made illegal. What is the guys name who started this company or the name or website of this company? Does anyone know any information on this subject anyway?

I was applying for a credit card and told them that I was working for my dad, since he is a manager in a company. But I'm not actually hired there but my dad just needed help. He pays me though for the hours i helped him. So, will the credit card company call at my dad's work?

We are both single and live together already.
We have lived together for almost three years. I heard that a marriage liscence can bring some discounts or money off somewhere in the process. The marriage penalty tax probably wouldn't apply to us because one of us now and in the future probably will make a lot more money than the other. I am just curious if there are more discounts when you actually buy a house after getting married? Mind you i am not saying we are getting married just for the benefits of being married, but it would be nice to get some added bonuses for legally combining everything.

A lawyer's office has called and said that they are putting a judgment against my husband for a CC. I told this company the same thing as the ones before them. The account has already been paid and it's off our credit reports and we have proof of payments. We were told that it didn't matter because all they would credit us was what we've paid them and the company before. Which I told them to blow off and not bother us again. Then someone else called a few weeks later and said that they were doing a judgment no matter what. Can a judgment be placed against someone without them knowing and is there a court hearing involved? I would love to go to court against this company so we can prove that we have paid this account. I was told that there would be no court date, that it was beyond that. I'm worried that a judgment may be placed without us knowing and not being able to fight this. This account has been sold to so many collection agencies because we have proof that the account is paid.

Last month my apartment was broken into and my computer was stolen along with my cable modem, some dvd's and some money. I have a fire escape that I just found out when ou lock the windows you can still pull down the top window and get in. And the super claimed to see womeone come in through the window and the guy said we where family, but i find it hard to believe that you will se someone enter another persons window and believe them to be family- What family member would do that? We told the landlord well one of the landlords about what happened and we had an agreement that if I get window gates on the window they would deduct it from the rent. I had to get 2 window gates and a different lock on the door because my lovely neighbors tell me after the incident that its the super that goes into peoples apartments and take things.

I am in the process of buying a house which was just for sale by owner. My financing didn't go through with the first mort. company and so the sellers listed the house with a realtor also, just to make sure they sell it before their balloon payment is due. The realtor knew I was excluded from the contract he made with the seller and now that he sees my financing is going through he still wants to collect his commissions off the sale of the house. The thing is I already live in the house. I have been renting it for a few months(which was also before the contract was made with the realtor) So he should certainly know that I don't have anything to do with his contract but he insists on being an a**.

I am wondering what the seller can do to get out of this contract with the realtor?

My husband has been with United Healthcare for years. I have been using Blue Cross but they do not cover maternity. If I get on my husband's insurance- am I going to have to wait to use it?

I realize the best thing to do is call the insurance company (which I will) but I am curious to ask the very knowledgeable folks here on Yahoo answers first :) Thanks for your help!

Wether its an offer for "Unlimited use" broadband by an ISP or an advert for "Unlimited free text messages" by a phone company, they always end the advert saying that a "Fair usage policy is applied".

I gather that means there is / will be a restriction of services for someone who uses up alot more than the average user, which means that its not actually "Unlimited".

So surely they are in breach of advertising rules?

We talked about a price and agreed on one and i asked what was the reason need to sell he said he had gotten a devorice and was stated that he sold an paid off the loan of the house. So we drew up a contract on the house and got a loan and set the closing come to find out he was not totaly devoriced yet and the the wife does not want to sign a waver to sell the house Just to be Mean and we have already Canceled a lease and got it all change over to the new adress As my Agent told us that it is at 100% on the house that we can go ahead and do this stuff. ANd my Agent told us that mybe we can Call her and talk to her But i was very confussed why we have to. My question being if this does not go threw b/c the wife does not want to Sign the waver can i sue her for all my lost cost?
