I have seriously high bills that I can't pay. But I don't know how to approach the people I owe that money to and successfully talk them down. I've heard that it's possible, and I've known some people that it worked for, but I'm clueless. Help?

I got a bunch of small items in the mail, hoodia pills, cosmetics - with invoices for $4.95. $8.50 - small amounts. I checked my debit card online and found several small orders like that. One of the companies was able to give me a fake Yahoo email address, so maybe the guy can be traced...The account is frozen and my credit union is going to take care of things, and the amount lost is less than $50.00, but WTF? How would a scammer make money by having junk shipped to me? And little small orders like that?

I heard there is an act called the hilton bird act, and want to know if it really exists. It is supposedly an act that was created to help people with no health insurance pay their doctors bills. If there is no hilton bird act are there any other programs?

Many of you advocate living debt free and paying cash for everything. So do I. I paid cash for my car and have no debt other than a mortgage (which I even pay a little extra on each month, though not at the expense of retirement and other savings).

But I qualified for that mortgage--at a great rate, right out of college, with no work history--largely because of my great credit score. Which I got by having credit cards. I use them only for big purchases and always pay them off, but I established a credit history and earned cash rewards in the meantime.

Like it or not, your credit score is the #1 thing any lender will consider. You are fooling yourselves if you thing it will be easy to get a mortgage with no credit--and you'll pay way higher closing costs/fees in addition to a higher rate if you manage to find a manual underwriter who will. Also, employers and even apartments now regularly check the credit of applicants.

Why try to fight the system?

I have a judgement that was won against me about two years ago. I need a bank account for a period of time. I need to know how quickly this information can be discovered and the money be attached and with drown by the collector if I open a savings account.

Is there any States where I can set up an account that would secure the money from the collections of the judgement?

Hi! Just a little background on the situation... I'm 18, married (husband's in the military, gone for a year during training), one baby, Augusta GA... that should do it.

I'm looking for some ways to stretch our paycheck to cover more bills. Cheaper entertainment, cheap places to shop, buying certain products instead of others... any of that is appreciated. Thanks!

It is offered ny CITI bank. It requires you to register your credit cards and store saving cards. Certain products and services donate a % of your purchase to an account which then can be transfered to a 529 savings plan. Is this a scam or is it a decent side savings plan to add to a 529 ?

I lost my job 2 months ago. I went to the Family Independence Agency and they said they couldn't help me because I have too much in assets (over 3,000.00).
So basically I need to take the money out of my 401k and then spend it to survive until it runs out so I can get assistance, but when I go to get the forms from the 401k company unemployment isn't listed as a hardship in order to not pay the 10% penalty (on top of the 20% given to taxes.
I don't mind the taxes because I might get that back next year at tax time but why can someone buying a house get a break on the penalty where someone trying to save his house doesn't?
