Personal Finance - September 2006

Someone made fraudulent charges in my name. What can I do about this? I got a bill for almost $18,000, I don't know yet if this is a loan, a credit card, or some other kind of debt. All I know is I didn't do it. How can I prove this? I can barely pay my own bills, let alone pay for fradulent charges someone else made in my name! If I can't prove I didn't make these charges I'll have to fill for bankruptcy. What if they do something agaist the law, will I be held responsible? Can I get a new SSI number? Is there a lawer, or anyone else that know?

A several years ago someone stold my ID. I didn't get any bills, and I didn't think my credit was good enough for anyone to get a credit card or loan in my name. I was told there isn't much I could do about it. Well, a few days ago I got a bill for almost $18,000! I never got a loan or bought a car or did anything to get a charge like this. They say it originated with Royal and Sun Assignee of PNC Bank. Does anyone know how I can contact them? How can I prove I didn't creat this debt?

My mom passed away and in an attempt to file a claim for benefits I need birth and marriage certificates. I have her death certificate and I was told that her Vital Statistics would cover the rest. I was told to go to the courthouse but they sent me to a health dept. The health dept sent me to the clerk or court. And so and and so forth. Can anyone tell me who I need to contact or where I need to go to obtain these records. Another concern is the fact that she was not born or married in Indiana. I don't know if that will be a problem. I am hoping I don't have to go out of state for these records.

I posted this question before but it got deleted by Yahoo. I had no price listed. But I'm trying to get rid of my wedding dress. It's a David's Bridal #E8553, size 2, hemmed about 4 or 5 inches, no alterations. I've tried Craigslist and Myspace Classifieds, but no takers. I'll try a second hand store after this if I don't get any results.

Anyone interested?

(To Yahoo...as you can clearly see, I listed no price. How do you know I'm not donating it? If other people are allowed to ask about their avatar and ask questions in symbols (both are also not allowed and are removed, as your "terms" say) and not get their meaningless questions removed, then I shouldn't get this one removed either....)

I've been paid by mail order (no, not Ebay, lol) with a Scottish £20 note. Do I need to take it to a Bank to change it for an English one, or do I have to send it back and ask for an English one? I'll bet I can't pay for my shopping with it! :)

I opened up a Store Card (with a Visa Logo) to make a $1000 TV purchase and to get the 100$ off for applying for their Visa card. I had to return TV within a week because of some another unexpected expense. Now, I don't know if I should keep the card. How will it affect my Credit History if I close the account. Should I instead close down another card that I have with the same "Availabel Credit" but with a really high APR ? Please advise.

Can you still purchase or not? Will the company hold your power to purchase? If you only paid the minimum payment, can you purchase again?

I have been with the Comcast cable for several years now and started to feel that I am paying too much even for the lowest digital package (47.25 + tax). I have tried to call the customer service several times asking for a discount or the new customer only deal, but those calls didn't work well. My apartment is facing North, so that means the satellite option is out. I have read a couple of articles suggesting to "threaten" to move to a competitor, but for my case/area, I really don't have any other option. If I call, I am afraid that they would call my bluff. Does anyone have any real experience and was able to reduce the bill?

The money needs to go to a specific German bank account, so I guess money transfer services (Western Union etc) are out of the question.
