I have a student visa card with 1500 credit limit, and the limit cannot be increased. I want to buy an lcd tv which most likely will cost over 1500 (i want to spend at most $2000 tax included). Is there any way to make the purchase possible with visa? for example, leave the visa balance below 0 before hand, would it work?

Thank you,

Andrew

I should probably start by saying I'm a poor student so don't judge how I have no money!!
Basically I took all of my available cash out of my account and so there was £6.82 left, and yesterday I deposited a cheque for £25 into my account (from my gran, bless her) and it shows that it's been paid in but it still says that my available balance is £6.82? Does this mean the cheque hasn't cleared or my account just hasn't caught up? I'm checking my account information online, does that affect it? I was told it would take 3 days for the cheque to go into my account (by a friend, not bank employee although he's employed by a different bank) and it's only been one.. any ideas?? Thanks a lot.

I was an intern at a company that laid me of today (Merry Christmas, huh?) Is it possible for me to get unemployment pay? I wouldn't worry about it, but the place I was planning on going to work is gone to be closed for 2 1/2 weeks for the holidays. I would just get a job somewhere else, but I don't want to work somewhere for 2 1/2 weeks then quit. No one will want to hire me if I tell them I am only gone to be there less than a month.

Ok so heres the story. I am totally retarded. I decided to make a deposit using the envelope you get at an ATM at my local bank. I've only seen my fiance do it once so when I push it through the hole I push it through the wrong one! It falls in a spot where I think I can reach it so I keep trying to get it. I can touch it but not quite grab it so I pry the plastic apart alittle bit and grab it and deposit it. However, I can't get the machine back into place so I hit it a few times but it won't budge. I drive away and call my fiance because I'm really nervous thinking maybe the bank will think I was trying to steal money. However, nothing happens for a few days until two cops show up at my house saying I set off a silent alarm and the bank wants to charge me with destruction of property. I tell the cop the whole story and now I have to call the bank tomorrow to fix the situation as per the cop. What should I do? Help!? I'm so stupid!

I do not have a credit history and my brother in law agreed to co sign for me. But the dealer made my B-in-law main applicant and me as a co-signer as I did not have credit background. I am gonna pay the loan when it is approved and wondering if this will help in building my credit. The FM manager at dealership is saying repaying this loan will build both our credit. Would appreciate if you can share your thoughts!

I am looking for information on a christmas loan for people with bad credit and no checking account. My credit was ruined when i had a bad car accident at the beginning of the year. I am unable to work and have been waiting on social security for almost 6 months. I have 2 children that both want a psp for christmas. They said that they would be happy with just that, but i cant even find the money to get that! Any help about where to get a fast loan would be greatly appreciated.
