Now I have to go pick up the package myself. They did not leave a notice either. The carrier did not even come by. Is there anything I can do? No one will be home and it requires a signature so I will have to go pick it up. My wife had taken the day off to be there when it arrived.

I just turned 18 recently, and I have been looking to change banks. At the moment I use my parents credit union, but its not for me. I need a bank that will offer me a checking/savings account with good interest rates (considering the current market) and one which offers online banking and direct deposit. I didn't know where else to turn, which is sad.

I've read alot about building credit and I've read that your credit score is calculated by FICO which increases your score depending on how many on time payments you make and decrease on how many you miss. It also decreases it if you apply for too many credit cards and do other little things like that. So does having more credit cards increase your score as long as you dont have an outstanding balance? or does it lower it? If you have a credit card with no balance does that lower it the longer you have it without using it?
I know this all sounds confusing but I'm new to all this and I just recently applied for so many cards which was probably bad. I finally got a few and I wanna make sure I approach this correctly to build credit without going in debt or screwing myself over like many people.
Any info/tips on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Everything you have been hearing about the "deal" he worked out with the major mortage companies is BS.
You have to have less than 3% equity in your home and you must not have more than one 30 day late in the last 12 months or you dont qualify. All this is is a bunch of PR for Bush and the mortgage companies involved. You are going to have a bunch of people run to these mortgage companies because of the free advertising they are getting by having this story all over the news. But, the only people that will be "helped" are those who could have refinanced anway.

anyone here think paypal sucks besides me?



This is why people should not use paypal:




1.Paypal lies about the exchange rates (in currancy)

2.Takes too much fee's

3.Scams sellers

4. Lets buyers easily get away with scaming sellers.

5. They take too long to respond to emails.

6. has the right too screw with peoples accounts.

7. does not give money that they owe you.



Is what paypal does legal?. Can they be sued?

I'm looking for a tool/spreadsheet that will give me the following information. Inputs: Total loan, # of years/months financed, finance rate. Output: each total monthly payment, $ paid each payment in interest, $ paid each payment in principle. I'd also like to change the variables and recalculate (i.e if I increased my monthly payment by x amount, how many months would it take down to pay the loan or if I financed at x rate, how much would my monthly payments be). I know there are a few sites that do have mortgage and loan estimates with the variables I mentioned, but I'd like something customizable where I can easily see every single payment. thanks.

I was involved in a startup company, we were marketing a commodity product, but to a new market segment. We had something special. I got my friends and family to invest, gave them info, had them meet with CEO and they largely plopped their money down because of trust in me. However, after a year with this company working for stock only, I realized that this president is not a well rounded business leader. In fact, he is making bad decsions that has cost the company a lot of money. I could not afford to work there anymore and left. I still stay in contact since I have more money invested than my freinds. I feel awful not for me but for my F&F who got involved in this. The CEO claims to have our money in an escrow account. Is the money gone? How do I find out if he has it or not? The company has about a million in inventory, what can the stockholders do to get their money back?

My husband has a card with (limit is $2,300 balance is $2,005) a 29.99% so the finance charges are $55monthly, and the minimum payment is $74 so l have started to pay the monthly plus the finance charges to try and get ahead instead of just the minimum as i was doing before. I would like to get a new card with lower apr% but his credit report isnt the greatest because he has a pre-forclosure short sale derogatory trade on his report, his mid fico score 2 months ago was 631 so his credit isnt horrible but that short sale is hurting because he cant seem to get approved for anything! not even with our own credit union! He makes gross income of $3600 so we have good income just bad report. My mid score was 662 2 months ago, but I have a 27,000 car loan with monthy payments of $540 and income of less than $500 a month. So I know i wont qualify for a credit card even though I get great pre-approved deals in the mail everyday, i know my score is decent but my income isnt. Anyone have advice?

(A) A company’s board of directors is considering the introduction of new product which was developed by the company. The research and development costs are estimated to be ₤100,000 on a market research study to assess the potential market for the product. Based on this study it is estimated that the company will be able to sell 12,000 units at a price of ₤24 next year, with the unit sales expanding by an additional 10% a year in subsequent years. The product is expected to be withdrawn from the market after 5 years. The direct costs of production are estimated to be ₤13 a unit. The overheads attributable to the production will amount to ₤15,000 pr annum. Manufacture of the product requires an initial investment in machinery amount to ₤560,000, which will be depreciated on a straight line basis over its useful life of 7 years. It is anticipated that the machinery will have resale value of ₤126,000 at the end of the products working life. The project would also require the use of an existing storage facility that would have been rented out for ₤8,000 per annum if it were not used for the project. The company plans to invest in working capital. It is estimated that debtors and creditors will offset each other, but an investment in stock worth ₤42,000 is required in the beginning of the project and this requirement is expected to grow by 12% in the preceding year. Working capital requirement will no increase further for the rest of the projects life. The company requires a 10% after tax rate of return on such investments and the corporate tax rate is 32%.

(i) Determine the net present value of the proposed investment
(ii) Consider the sensitivity of the NPV to a 10% increase in the price of the product.

Hi, are there any budget experts out there who may be able to help me out with the following?
I am in an absolutely desperate situation where I have been given the following question to answer and am at a loss at how to even begin to answer it..

'You have prepared a budget for the Medical Council's expenses for the year ending 31 Dec 08 as follows:

Venue costs £34,000
Employee costs £100,000
Doctors' expenses £20,000

You submit this budget to the Council, and the budget is agreed, with the exception of doctors' expenses, which are to be increased by 12.5%.

This budget is to be charged to the following PCT' in proportion to the number of doctors in each PCT area as follows:

Richmond - 78 doctors
Brixton - 102 doctors.

Produce a budget for submission to the Brixton PCT.

If anyone could help me out I would be eternally grateful. It seems extremely complicated and I'm not sure how to start. I'm sure I'm just being thick.

If you are able to help, thank you in advance.
