I have about 10k in credit card debt, and I got a 10k line of credit consolidation loan. All my cards are 90-95% full. Should I dump everything into my line of credit or should I split it between all of them so that no one credit sourceis maxed out? Is it ok to max out one source of credit? THANKS!
BTW, I got the loan simply because I had high APR on my cards. This lets me save a bit of money. I had trouble with cards starting at school when i couldn't work....so now that i'm working i barely use them. I will not be running them so high ever again :)

I am having a hard time finding a job. I am only 21. Even the Employment Agency said they probably won't be able to find me a job because of my poor work history. I have had 5 jobs all less then 8 months.

Purchased a laptop from ebay for 250gbp, seller had good feedback but asked for money to be either paid in cash into account or through bank transfer. Payment was done with cash, but several hours later the seller was disclosed as a scammer who had scammed others in the past. He was taken off ebay but now am stuck with no laptop and minus 250gbp christmas money! Have the receipt and account details of what was paid in where is it possible to get the cash back? any ideas on how to salvage this one? Please I need some bright think ideas!

Today i went on this site that sells game currency. I decided to buy some and after i bought some currency, the ppl at the site said that they are out of stock and would have to wait 6-7 hours. I decided to get a refund and they refunded me. The card that i used was a prepaid mastercard gift card. I check the balance and i havent got my funds back. When will i get my $24 back?

Any real estate/builder insight out there?

My wife and I are looking at a house in Salisbury MD. We've talked to the builder rep all last weekend, and will again this tomorrow.

Here is the situation -
We've comped a recent sale (same builder and same house model), sold last month... a perfect comp!

That house was listed 299k and sold for 290k with 5k going to buyer for closing... so 285k total.

Builder wanted to base price our same model house at 309k.

Builder has dropped our base price to 287500 now (closer to the 285k recent sale... since that house had no upgrades)

Our upgrades total 27k (you know that's where his money is made from), BUT we are going along with it... just to make things a little smoother.

Problem is... the base of 287500 + 27k upgrades should be 314500!! Well the builder is now set at 330k total because he wants us to cover realtor fees! Something (that in any other normal sale) would be covered by the seller. 6-7k total.

Any ideas what to do??

I know many people have pondered this, but why can't American claim their beloved pets? I was told that in a dogs life time, an owner will probably spend about $10,000-$15,000+ on the care and feeding for their pet? Is this true? and if so, why won't the government let owners do this? ***is this things that make you go hmmmm?***

I started this job in October. I was told by my boss the other girl who would be working with me had admitted herself into a mental rehab facility due to a nervous breakdown and she is bipolar and other personal information, I did not feel I should know. After 2 weeks trying to learn a job-hard to be trained by her. I learned what I could as fast as I could. The other girl came back. I was looking forward to meeting her and learning from her. It turns out, she has been looking for different job because of the boss flat out told the other girl she did not want to work with someone who is bipolar. After 3 of being there, work ran short, and the boss told me she would have to lay me off until work picked up. It lasted for about 2 weeks. I have tried to learn all I can, but it is hard when it is not consistent. I missed 3 days this week, had a doctor's excuse. She says she is going to give my evaluation Monday. I have the feeling, I am going to be fired. What should I do?

I am 26 and I have had three jobs in my life, one in which I was at for 6 years another I had for two and a half years and my most recent job I was at for three months and I left that job for personal reasons. It has been over three months since I have had a job and it seems like no one is willing to give me a chance to prove myself. I am asking if I look like a job hopper and how to get past this and find a job?

my brother did not file his taxes last year. I am sure that he doesn't have to pay anything in. I have two questions: What will his penalty be? and he lost all of his w2's from last year. what does he have to do to get a copy of those w2's? Does he even have to get a copy of his w2's to file for last year. He says that he doesn't have to, the IRS has a record already. But this is my brother and he was stupid enough not to file last year. What does he have to do to file for last year??????? thanks for any advice
