I just paid off all my bills in collections (THEY WERE ONLY MEDICAL). I just got promoted. And I really want to refinance my home and get a cash-out to pay off some debts for myself and my husband. My credit score dropped to 560 due to some unexpected hardships in the last 6 months. Does anyone know of a good bank or place to start that will work with my credit score? I am in WA State.

I am 18 and I am going on a trip in late march. I have all the things I need to apply for a passport. Such as birth certificate, pictures, ect. I live in Mass but I am going to be in Florida for the month. Can I still apply for it there? If not, can I give all the stuff to my mom and have her do it back in Mass? Thanks!

Last April, I took my first loan ever to pay for an SUV. The inital amount was about $16k at 6.99%. As of today, I have paid it down to just over $12k.

As a present, my parents gave me $10k to pay off the loan (and I'll be paying them back with little to no interest), so I can pay off the loan and still have enough money to feel comfortable.

But, is there any way I can "funnel" this $12k payment that I'm about to make through some payment channel so I can get additional benefits from it?

Specifically, I had hoped to use my Discover or Visa card to make the payment, so that I would get either cash back or flight credits.

However, the bank that holds my loan says I can only use credit cards to make loan payments via a cash advance, and neither of my cards will give me miles or cash back for a cash advance (or for credit checks either).

Does anyone know of a way I could make this work and get extra benefit from my payment (if not via credit cards, some other way)?

My best friend and I are trying to go to this Residential Camp for 2 Weeks, which costs quite a bit. We need ways to raise money and since we don't have alot of connections it is difficult. Have any ideas besides the usual garage sale etc. ideas?

I have a ton of old paid bill stubs that contain account numbers and personal information, etc. that need to be destroyed. I've been working two jobs for almost 5 years now and let this get away from me. Other than shredding or burning them, can anyone give me any other good suggestions on how I can dispose of them? With identity theft so common now, I want to make sure no one gets my credit card account numbers, etc. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

This week I'm withdrawing all of my IRA's out of a mutual fund company that has not been providing a decent return for my money.

Question: How many days do I have to reinvest this money so I won't be penalized by the IRS or whoever regulates this process?

I have heard I have 60 days to reinvest the money without penalty but I wanted to make absolutely sure.

How will I have to show this transaction on my federal income tax return? I'm told it will be reported to the IRS when I am given my check for the IRA's.

I do not intend to use the IRA money yet, although I'm 68 years old, but I understand I will have to start withdrawing some of it when I turn 70. Is this true?

Many parents suffer from the pressures to use credit to buy. I would like to know of any schemes in the UK, perhaps run on credit union lines, that have been introduced to primary age children to encourage them to save their small change.
