A mate of mine has just been made redundant and he is panicing as he has a number of monthly commitments..mobile phone bills etc as he is under contract. is there any way he can get out of paying these bills or can he ask the relevent network to lower his monthly charges so that he can still meet the terms of his agreement without falling behind and defaulting as he will have nowhere near the level of income he used to have when he was in paid work.. i have told him he will have to find the money whatever the situation but am i wrong

I've been married for two and half years and everything we have is in my husband's name. He won't let me get a job, even leave the house. I'm ready to leave, and so far all I have is $70 that I had hidden from him in a crockpot. I know the first thing I need to do is get that money into a bank account, but the problem is savings accounts usually require a $100 minimum balance. But I know I need to start drawing insurance on that somehow. So far what I have planned to do is put all that money into a checking account, then transfer it to an ING Orange account with a 4.5% interest rate. Does this sound like a smart thing to do, or is this a waste of time and stuff.

I'm not stupid, I know by the end of the year I'll have collected like $2 from interest or whatever, but even that is better (and safer) than it sitting in a crock pot in the top of my son's closet. (And if you have any legit ways to make money from home,t

I would like to consolidate my debt ($20,000), which is mostly credit card debt, by taking a line of credit with Bank of America? From the explanation I received from this bank, it sounds like it is another credit card. I have thought about taking an unsecured simple intertest loan at 13%, but the line of credit APR is 8.9%, which is really enticing. I would take either loan for 5 years with fixed monthly payments.

Which of the two approaches (loan or line of credit) would YOU take to save the most money, and why, for paying off high interest credit card debt?

Has anyone one ran into this situation before? How did you resolve it?

I can certainly use the extra money to buy my son clothes and school supplies.

Thank you.

I have had very little experience with a debit card, as we live in a rural area where myself and my hubby's bank does not even offer debit cards. I was a bank teller years ago, when they just offered atm cards. My son, off at college, has strictly a debit card. Me the giver and him the spender with that card. Why do transactions, specifically pay at the gas pump, (outside at the actual pump, swiping the card on the pump) post while as a pending debit for only $1, then when the actual transaction clears, up to three days later, it will go through for the whole amount. Why don't those sites just make the pending debit the same amount as the actual transaction?

Got written a check and I wanted to put my money in the account ASAP since I'm in school during its operating hours. i was wondering if Wachovia allows you to deposit it in their ATM. If so, do you need a deposit slip or should I just fill out the envelope.
