Is it a good idea?

I just sold my home, and over the next year, I'm going to work on fixing my credit. (no mortgage or rent-living with family) How do these type places really help you increase your credit score while paying off debt? How much do they cost, cause I know they're not doing it for free.

I am seventeen and need to open a checking account for my job. I'm working for Avon and it's the best and more efficient way for me to transfer money and make payments if I write my own checks and deposit other people's to my account.
I know I'm allowed to have a savings account. If push comes to shove, I'll just stick with that, but I'd like to be able to open a checking account.

Thanks to everyone!

Last month, whilst on holiday, I had my mobile phone stolen from a locked dormitory room in the hostel in which I was staying (I was away for a shower at the time). The insurance company rejected my initial claim on the basis that my phone was left 'unattended in a public place'.

I was only out of the room for 20 minutes, and there was nobody in the room when I left, or when I got back.

Is it worth appealing? Is a locked dormitory room a public place?

I think people should be more than a credit score. The guy in the commercial said he "married his dream girl" but after she had bad credit he could be a "happy bachelor with a dog and a yard"..as a "credit challenged consumer" I find the commercial very offensive. Does anyone else? I want to start and alternative credit system and call it "crudco" it would be if people pay their rent and house payments. That is what is important. what do you think?

I purchased a 97 escort in the year 2000 for $10,000. placed on 5 yr payment plan of $243.00 per mo. At the end of my 5 yr period in the year 2005. I contacted Arcadia to ask them to send me the title because I thought the car was paid off. Come to find out, my account was no longer through arcadia, it was through citi bank now. THey informed me that I still owed around $3600.00 for the car, I told them that was impossible and asked them to send me an itemized list of all my payments towards my car. They sent it, & when I added up all the payments I had made in the last 5 years, it all added up to a shocking $18,000. that's $8,000 more than what I purchased the car for. and yet they still want more money from me. they claimed it's interest and late fees I owe. I told them 2 years ago that i will not pay them another dime & if they want they can come get the car, they never came for the car. and I have not heard from them since. so i want to know if i can file for a lost title.

I'm starting a sole proprietorship, but was wondering if there's a way for me to know how much money to hold back each month so that I don't have a huge tax bill at the end of the year? Or a way to pay a little in each month?

I made a purchase on ebay US and I am in the UK. Unfortunately the seller doesn't have paypal. I have to pay by Banker's Draft. (I don't think I can get a postal order to be cashed in the US)
Am I able to get a Banker's Draft in US Dollars from my local bank here in the UK? If not, do postal orders come in US Dollars?

Serious answers only please.
Cheers!

I just got married and I'm trying to fix my new husband's credit. He has some accounts that are way past due. One of them is for $7,000 on a credit card and they say they are getting ready to send to an attorney. They want $700 for the next 3 months to stop the interest and we just don't have it. Can they still pass a judgment and garnish his wages if we are making payments, but only waht we can afford (About $50-$100 a month) ???

The LLC is owned by my wife and I who were partially funded by the aforementioned consultants, and we pay them a % of the profits each month. Would they classify as employees who need an EIN and taxes withheld? I want to make sure of this so I am not taxed on the amount I am paying them.

Alright, I just word today that I was promoted within my firm. This means more work, responsibility, and probably more travel.

The difference is now I don't make Overtime. My previous title gave me 12% on top of my base salary.

Once I got my promotion, it was announced that my raise is 8% with no added benefits (possibly a bigger bonus but my bonuses are extremely small anyway).

So basically with all of the extra work I have, I will be making 4% less than before.

In my opinion, my company is pretty cheap but do I have leg to stand on to go back to my boss and at least ask for a raise so I'm not taking a step back?

OR - is this very typical and I should just move on.

Any advice on how to approach this would be helpful.

Thanks.

I'd rather deal with the original creditor. The collection agency said it would be 5 weeks before the account is cleared with them. but by that time they will have reported me to the credit bureau. If i pay it at the end of the month can they still screw me.

I understand how a capped price works, but how do they calculate it? We got a capped price this year of 3.999. What exactly does that mean? How is it related to the price per gallon of oil? Is it $3.99/gallon? I want to understand how it's calculated and how it relates to the price per gallon on my bill.
