In June I enrolled in a debt settlement/consolidation plan with a company. They said they would settle my debts and as long as I was putting the money aside I was supposed to then everything would be fine. They would be contacting my creditors and I should no longer talk to them. Well that is all well and good until I am contacted by an arbitrator and a law office. My accounts were fast tracked to arbitration when they found out the program was in. Each has offered me a settlement but I can't afford it without a loan. I have perfect credit except for these two past due credit card balances and that is preventing me from getting a loan. The law office said I could make payments, but they would be nearly $1800 for six months. There is absolutely no way I can afford that. What can I do? I'm really scared because I thought I was doing a a good thing and ended up in a terrible situation.

Appears most finance companys will only finance in state. Franchised dealers should be able to finance-correct? Of course raising credit score is obvious and in process - a car is needed now. Any suggestions?

Hi is it possible that if you had a million pound in a high interest savers account, you could live off the interest. Of course it's incredibly hard to make a million pound (my dream) however this will be a great motivation for me and many others. eg 5% interest = £50,000 interest a year - tax (most probable = around £35,000 this is more than enough to live decentely. What are your thoughts?

I have been researching filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy, but have had estimates of cost anywhere from $700 to $9,500. Nobody can seem to tell me until they start into the process. I know my case is fairly straightforward, I have no real estate or property to protect other than a car, and have other debts as well, but nothing unusual or elaborate.

I understand some of the fees are included in the Chapter 13 plan and paid over time.

I just want to know approximately how much I have to come up with in the beginning, out of my pocket, to file.

Does anyone have any real experience going through this, with the new laws the way they are now?

I am a full-time struggling college student going on her 2nd year.I am employed, but I don't make enough sometimes to pay my bills. My father helps me out when he can, and my mother is unemployed, so mostly I take care of myself. I am in desparate need for money right now, and I seem to have no other options. My rent is due and I am overdrafted in my account by $200. I tried looking for loans, but I never get approved. I also have 4 payday loans that I just can't simply pay off. Is there a way for me to recieve some fast cash so that I can pay my rent and take care of my loans? anyone with suggestions please let me know!

If not, is there any thing that we can do about it? Is it against the law? I know you would say buy a house instead of renting but I'm not ready to settle yet...

Hello,

Does anyone know how to list a 'pick up only' item on Ebay?

I've looked on the site and can't find how to do it when listing something up. I'd like it to look like this:

Postage costs: Pick up only - see item description for details
Post to: Will arrange for local pick up only (no postage).

But, instead it looks like the only choice is to put postage as 'Free', which is misleading.

Can anyone help?

Thank you!
