Does anybody know where I can purchase this on a Sunday? It is urgent and I cannot think straight. I need any kind of packing material for a shipping box! HELP!
Thanks ahead of time.
Kinkos-Fed Ex is open with that; Office Depot etc carries some packing material; Target has some as well (probably Walmart too)

What is the best tool to manage my ebay sales with?
What software/tool can i use to manag my ebay sales?
Ill be selling the same 4-5 items so it will get confusing as ill be (hopefully) selling hundreds of them. What tools/software can you recommend that make it easier to list items, print shipping labels, track sales etc?
I am really happy with Auctiva - the price is right (free!) and it has a nice inventory management feature to do exactly what you're looking for. It can be a little slow sometimes, though.
Another option is Seller Sourcebook - I haven't used it myself as I only post about 5-10 items per week, but I know PowerSellers who rave about it. I think it costs about $10/month or so.
You can use one of ebay's selling tools.
At the top of ebay's homepage click on Site Map. Scroll down to Selling Tools. Choose Selling Manager, Selling Manager Pro or Turbo Lister. Which ever one is better for what you would like to do. I recommend Selling Manager Pro because you can automatically list and relist items and leave feedback automatically. You can always use paypal bulk shipping tool to print out your shipping labels in bulk.

Do i have to sell what i won?
i have hospital bills, need to pay..
do you think its okay to sell it?
i just won a digital camera.
was it ok to sell or it will cut your luck if you sell what you won... was it true?
Sell the camera and pay your bills. There is nothing worse than the drowning feeling of debt. Not to mention what it will do to your credit rating. If you have a way to pay off or pay down your hospital bill, take it.
You were lucky enough to win a way to pay a bill, the camera won't be missed, neither will the interest fees or the stress of the hospital bill.
There's no such thing as luck, it's kind of a joke, or story. Don't worry about it.
Sell it, bills are more important than worrying about luck.
sell it
yes

Would you please answer my ebay question?
Go into my questions and look for the other question.
Okay...
Okay...
Question about Reselling?
So, this just popped into my head and I was wondering if it was legal. Most businesses get their products from distributors across the country, and this is a variation of that.
Say you start a business(not online) based upon reselling items the same way except the way you collect those items to resell is by places like Ebay/craiglist, or more reputable online
distributors like Newegg.ca and others(collecting receipts and what have you for these items also).
Any ideas on how or if that is legal?
yes

Will I win this small claim, customer refuses to pay me for freelance job?
I am a graphic designer. I accepted a freelance contract to put together a publication for small publishing company for $1500 (worth 3k industry standard but I needed the money).
I had them sign a simple contract. They failed to fulfill several of the agreements. They were late in paying the "starting fee". The duration to complete the project was reduced. They were terribly disorganized and unprofessional, sending me material up to the night of the deadline, never providing a proper master list etc. They had me ship directly to printer without reviewing/approving it themselves (despite my recommendation).
As a result, 1 editorial was omitted that I had received and should have included. I was notified of this after sending the first 30 days past due billing notice. I responded at that time, explaining what must have happened and apologizing. Now after more than 60 days past due they have failed to pay and demand I discount my price. I feel that they were equally responsible for the error, and I fulfilled my obligations under the contract. I completed the job as agreed even with the reduced deadline. There were no specifics on accuracy/quality etc.
If I go to small claims what are my chances of winning? I've been told by the better business bureau that I met my obligation, despite the omission (since there was nothing in the contract) but I'm worried this will get dragged out and I'll never get my money.
I can't afford an attorney. Does anyone know of free legal resources (online or otherwise) that can help small business owners?
First, I'm not a lawyer, so this isn't legal advice.
Second, it's impossible to predict what can happen in court; even lawyers will tell you that.
However, I do have 35 years of writing, editing, and publishing experience--newsletters, magazines, etc.
OK. Most of what you describe has no bearing on the issue.
The key sentence in your question is: "They had me ship directly to printer without reviewing/approving it themselves (despite my recommendation)." It was their responsibility to review what you sent the printer. It sounds as if they waived that responsibility. If so, then you should be off the hook. Additionally, didn't the printer provide a blueline or PDF proofs to them? If so, that would further strengthen your case, but even without that, if they declined to review the material, then the responsibility is on them.
As a side note, if you're discounting $3,000 jobs to $1,500 and don't have enough money for a lawyer (look, you can get some legal coverage from outfits like PrePaid Legal for about $40 a month), then you might want to rethink your current career path. You're probably an excellent designer, but it takes business savvy--and the guts to stand up to toxic clients--to stay in business.
Good luck.
Yes you will win, but you will need a lawyer because if you do it your self, it will drag out. I filed for a small claim and tried to deal with it myself but it dragged out for 2 years. I got a lawyer and he took care of it in 4 months. I garnished their wadges and finally got my money back.
Also it depends on if they owe more than you will pay out of pocket to settle the case.
Good luck.
It is impossible to say without reading the contract. If you state clearly what you were being paid to do, and when you were to be paid, you should not need an attorny, and will likely win an uncontested settlement. However, that doesn't guarantee they will pay you, and good luck collecting from the deadbeats.
If I were you, I would negotiate with them on their offer to reduce the price and get this over with, and chalk it up to "lesson learned" because to pursue this is small claims court would cost you more in time and money than what they owe you...do the math...
Your time is worth money...when you do the math, you'll see that the best thing to do is try to be reasonable (even if you don't feel it) and get them to pay you by reducing the price...you've already lost too much in this situation, so let's not throw good money after bad...
That's what I would do...if I were you...(Son of an Attorney...that would be his recommendation...)
(Also: Don't ever let the customer or client see you act angry or say anything in anger...rule number one...always sound and "be" reasonable and accommodating (even when the situation makes you want to punch somebody in the nose...This is all advice my own Lawyer Dad gave me when I got out of college...)
First of all, I have to say that I am an attorney and I have to agree with some of the other comments. Specifically, there is no guarantee you will win. But it sounds like a pretty simple case because you are not getting paid for the work performed.
More importantly, I wanted to comment on the comments this thing can be dragged out over time and you need to hire a lawyer. I do not necessarily agree with that comment because Small Claims Courts are just that ~ courts for small claims. They are designed to handle these types of disputes in a quick and efficient manner. They are also designed for people to address these disputes without having to get a lawyer (this does not mean you can't get one, or the other side can't get one because they can).
I suggest you contact the local Justice of the Peace office for Fort Bend County. I am sure they are even on the web. When you call, they will tell you the method and manner of filing a small claims. You might be surprised how quickly this can get resolved. I am not saying it will be resolved in days, but it might take 60-90 days.
Anyway, I hope this helps.

Can I validate a doctor
I supervise about 25 employees and have 2 with slight attendance problems. Employee #1 called and said she broke down on her way to work and her car was being towed to the shop. When I asked for a receipt, she admitted she lied and said she was really at home but was fighting with her boyfriend. I wrote her up for dishonesty and told her she would be terminated if it ever happened again.
A few days later, employee #2 said she couldn't come to work because she had an infection and headache and was going to the doctor. I asked for a receipt again. Employee #1 came and said it was a lie and employee #2 was really going to a concert. She said employee #2 told her she was faking a receipt for me.
Today I have the receipt. It is not signed by a doctor and it has no phone number but the address is there. I googled the address and it has the name of the doctor at that clinic, but she got the first name wrong.
Do I confront her?
Due to hippa the doctor''s office can not say anything but I would call the office and speak to the office manager and just ask if she can confirm that this receipt is from the doc's office.
I think so, I think you need to ask her for the phone number (she will probably give you the real one) and ask the doctor about it.
I would give her one more chance before you confront the doctor, to admitt it, though. And have the consequences of employee #1. If she gives you the phone number and figure out it was fake, terminate her.
If employee #1 was lying, terminate her.
I don't think legally you can. HIPPA law prevents doctors from releasing personal information. Also ask yourself does employee #1 have a problem with employee #2? It sounds awfully suspicious that she would say this about a fellow employee just days after she got in trouble for a similar thing.
Yes, confront her. Your employees right to privacy says that they cannot discuss any personal information, but they might be able to validate whether or not the person was treated there. Do you have an HR department you could safely refer the matter to?
That doesn't even sound like a receipt. I say confront her.

How much should I charge an hour?
For 9th grade Science (Physical Science) Tutoring. Next year to the Freshmans. I was thinking like $20.00 an hour, but there just Freshman. Hmmm...
I think $20 is a good rate. I know other kids that are charging $20.
Wrong question.
You should be asking, "Am I qualified to tutor anyone?"
And the answer is, "No. Given your grasp of the English language, you should not be tutoring anybody. You should be taking remedial English courses."
If a person with your poor grammar and spelling showed up to tutor my child, I would kick you out in less than 5 minutes.
maybe ten a good rate because they are just freshman give them a break they are going through a lot of changes because they are just new in high school

What
I%26#039;m purchasing 60,000 business in California and seller%26#039;s agent is asking for $3000 deposit. Is that normal? I was planning to put just 2% of the purchase price. There is no competitor and this business been out in the market for over a year. Do I have a good leverage to negotiate?
Thank you for your help!
In this environment, the buyer rules... I would inform him that you are willing to put down 2% only. If he is unable to accept this, then I would find yourself another business to buy... And yes, you always have leverage as long as you are willing to walk away. And walking away should always be an option...
Also, be careful with this %26quot;no competitor%26quot; argument... If the business was so good, then the seller would be an idiot to sell in such a depressed economic environment. He is selling because he has to, and this one fact should naturally depress the price...

I am working on my home website and would like opinions on any changes needed?
i need blunt, unbiased input. i am starting to work on it so there isn't alot of info on the site i will be adding links to my affiliate sites (walmart, budk, happy bunny, etc). i also have two other sites, these are the stores.
www.iceislimited.org
www.shopsbyiceisonline.com
www.webshopsbyiceis.com
i will be using the profits to fund the more philanthropic side of my business-helping homeless families get back on their feet
Hi. First off let me commend you on what you are doing! May God bless you in every way towards the success of your heartfelt project.
Your first listed, www.iceislimited.org, site still needs some work as you know. You may want to add a Contact tab, possibly move your mission statement to the Home page. The Section "OUR MISSION" may also need separated, parts about ICEIS going on Home page and other parts about yourself onto the About Us section. This will not only help organize it better, but will separate it for easier reading. I found that most people will not even spend the time scrolling down a page so they may miss important content that you may have towards bottom of the page. Always check for typing errors, but I know you are not quite done with it yet. The fonts, for the tabs, should all be in CAPS or all in Upper and Lower case. In your FAQ section, you can place your own questions/answers in there to start with, something you perceive someone asking. Example: someone might ask you if they can sell things on your site or link to your shops, so you can put that question and answer in there just in case a visitor is already thinking about it. Your legal info tab, not sure it is my pc or what, but it comes out with one document over the top of another. You maybe want to just put 2 links in there that take the visitor to both documents for full readability.
www.shopsbyiceisonline.com looks ok
www.webshopsbyiceis.com looks ok visually, but I checked your source code and your are missing meta tags and keywords. The search engines will never find your site without them.
Hope this helped! Good luck!

What do people want to buy?
I would like to make something that people want so I can sell it, but I don't know what people want to buy, I understand different people want different things, but can you give me a few ideas? Thanks!!
Mostly because it sounds enticing. Say, you want to sell some potato chips, that you say are amazing, but incidentally, they are horrible. Saying they are amazing can have a negative or positive impact. A good thing to sell is probably some software (Such as a game made on RPG Maker), home-made cookies at your school or work office, etc. I would recommend the RPG part if your a hardcore gamer (Sorry, I'm just presuming your a little young)
Nothing. The economy sucks, people are buying only what they absolutely have to. This is the worse possible time to try and start a business.

I wanna find out all about how long u can work.......?
well im 13 and want a part time job like after scool and sundays and stuff. I just wondered what the rules were and what jobs i can do that i could be paid for because i need a bit of extra money seeing as i am going to have to start paying for stuff in year 9 and that so..
All I can think of for your age is a paper round.
My son is 13, and gets paid 22.50 a week. It may differ where you are. He does the morning, and afternoon rounds.
I dont think you can work b4 7 in the morning at that age.
Other than leafleting, you could try doing jobs for family, friends and neighbours. Washing the car, mowing the lawn....a regular babysitting job will help bring in some extra cash!
you need to look up federal and state child labor law and this will give you the information that you need

How much money can you make by owning your own bake shop?
That depends on one heck of a lot of variables. Your cooking skill, your business acumen, your advertising, your presentation, your work ethic, your location, your target market, the condition of the economy and how it affects demand for your product in your area, etc.
You could make a lot of money if you are lucky and play everything right, and have a great product to offer. Most often, with small standard businesses like this, you struggle to break even for years while building your clientele. You could lose your shirt from poor choices or simply bad luck or bad timing.
ummm well it all depends on the amount of business u get
sooo if u get good business...u get paid ALOT
if not....its gonna be tough
It depends where the location is and no offense...how well it tastes
A lot.

I am trying to start a small candy bizz, but I am having trouble with my selling price..?
how much would you expect to pay for one pound of hand made/pulled %26#039;hard candy%26#039; sticks? I know it depends on if the candy is good..I have given out 3 batches so far and everyone loves the candy and thinks the flavoring is just right. So how much would you want to pay? A pound is a nice amount, bigger than a handfull. So your in a candy shop, you%26#039;ve tried it, you like it and you want to buy some. I want to avoid that surprised look that I usually give people just before i walk out of the shop after they tell me how much it cost. Some of these places are crazy with their prices..i dont want to do that.
Thanks for your opinions
start by looking at the cost for you to make the candy, take into consideration all the ingredients, add to that the cost of utilities used to make the candy. next look at your indirect costs , packaging, insurance rent ect, next calculate your labor if you have to cook for 3 hours to make 30 lbs of candy your time is worth something. Add all those together and devide that by the quanity produced. Last item is your profit, look to get from 25% to 35% profit on top of the above costs.

start by looking at the cost for you to make the candy, take into consideration all the ingredients, add to that the cost of utilities used to make the candy. next look at your indirect costs , packaging, insurance rent ect, next calculate your labor if you have to cook for 3 hours to make 30 lbs of candy your time is worth something. Add all those together and devide that by the quanity produced. Last item is your profit, look to get from 25% to 35% profit on top of the above costs.

Chickens and feeding.?
I have around 80 hens and about seven roosters.
My question is how much do I feed them I always have plenty of feed. But
Could I be over feeding them? . also I am getting a few to many roosters
What is the right amount ?how many rooster to a bunch of hens ?thank you
you can have one rooster and 80 hens but I do not think he could get to them all I think 10 or 11 to one is a good ratio
I usually feed about 1/2 cup scratch per bird are they caged or in pen or free range?
It only takes one rooster in my experience.. but I like to hear them crow all hours day and night.. really.. we keep feed out but they eat poop and sleep and lay eggs .. so not sure the right amount we just know our chickens.. yes a bunch have names...and are more like pets... Have had to give away some roosters as they were mean mean.. like attack roosters but some are good to keep the hens safe.. have some no account male ducks who've let the females be eaten by something// I just know my critters is all.
just keep on giving them food and when they are full they will stop eating

How to sell things online underage?
Hi, my brother has a lot of unwanted stuff(Mainly cards) that he needs to sell. He is under 18, but I am 18 and have a credit card/paypal account. Is there any way for him to sell his things online(I will inspect his sales), even though he is a minor? He will most likely sell his things through eBay.
So why not work together, operating under your name, and let him see all the details. Give him most of the profit or work out a share scheme until he is old enough to do it himself.
Make him an account. If he buys things, just whoop his ***. You are older anyways. I don't see how that is a problem. Making him an account seems pretty simple.

Starting a small business on ebay?
I am planning on starting a little business on ebay. Nothing big, but hopefully I can get a little pocket money out of it (I'm a poor college student lol). I'm going to make lotions, bath salt, etc and sell them.
Will I need a license for this (since I'll be making the stuff that I'm selling)?
Also, I've heard about a tax id. Will I have to get one?
If you are selling it under your own brand name then yes you need to have a license for it as well as tax id for physical products.
If you are doing as your hobby then I think there are many people on Ebay who does the same thing without having the license and all those things. You rather check out Ebay's Terms and Conditions on their website before starting your small business . Or you can also speak with their customer representatives related to their terms and conditions.
In this way you will get a better idea of how to sell on ebay in a proper way. I recommend you to check out ebay website.

Someone
I was alerted to this last month when I applied for disability. I was told I would get a paper in the mail to dispute it, but it never came. Now the Department of Social Security has sent me a letter saying I agreed to whatever their report said and now I'm confused.
How could I have been working since 2001 if I was only 13 years old! Why can't they just take that off of there? Why was someone allowed to use my social?
Usually the culprit is a member of your family.
In your case it could have been as simple as filling out a form at the Dr. office which somehow got into the wrong hands...
The possibilities are endless... go back to the Social Security Office and demand that the entries be removed... (although getting credit for social security from a stranger could be the least they ought to "pay" you for the service of using your number).
Make sure to check your credit report... the fact that you have extra work credits on your social security account is the least of your problems... what if this person opened credit cards using your social?
Go to www.annualcreditreport.com and print out your credit report.
Your parents need to assist you in contact the Social Security office to get this problem corrected. Of course, the letter you just received could be in response to something your parents sent.
You should also check your credit report (AnnualCreditReport.com). As a 13 year old, you shouldn't have a report. But if someone has been using your social security number, there may be all sorts of things showing up.
lol... you can appeal and raise the issue you never recieved the documents you need to appeal. just because you were 13 doesn't mean someone didn't use your social.

I am disputing items on my report. does transferred/ sold have a negative impact on your score.?
my students loans have all been consolidated but each individual loan is showing up negatively on my report but in the remark section its paid, closed, transferred and or sold. will that continue to bring down my numbers and how can i get them to remove them since they are all consolidated?
If it's transfered or sold that means it was transfered over to another collection agency, and most likely won't be removed until t7 years is up..When it is paid off when the collections agency update it every 30 days it will show up on your report and most likely It'll give your score a little boost..
P.S. They will stay on your credit report 7 years from the opening account date..So try to start building credit right now...

Does a prepaid credit card help improove your credit?
i have bad credit so i bought a prepaid card does it help at all or waist or time and money?
Prepaid cards won't, but secured cards very often report to the credit bureaus, and they WILL improve your credit.
It will not help your credit, there is no creditor, since you prepaid the card.

Help with Capital One Bill...?
Alright Capital One put my credit card into collections. It was kind of my fault and kind of their fault on their part. I didnt pay because I didnt know the due date and they sent it into collections for sending my statement to my old address from like 5 years ago so anyways I was going to settle with them but they want like 400 dollars in like 1 payment and i am not doing that do you think if i send them like 100 dollars they will take that off my bill or will they refuse that?
Like the other response said Capital One sucks. You have had to be more than one payment behind for them to send you to collections. Did they send to a debt collection agency. If so, if you settle for anything get it in writing before you send any type of payment. Never give them your bank info or soc sec. #. Send in a money order and not a check and keep records of everything. Tell them what you can send for payment, take control of the situation.
They will refuse the payment. You are at fault, it was your responsibility to notify the company of change of address and to pay your debt. Once the collection agency has it your debt will triple, then when the courts get involved you can add court costs and lawyer fees to your bill. Your refusal to pay the 400 will turn your debt into 2500

Does anyone know why dish network guys need your credit card for new account.?

Use credit card to assist in lowering home loan interest?
Hi,
I heard a lot of people talking about using a credit card to lower their home loan interest charge. It went along the line of putting the whole pay in the loan account and using a credit card to pay for your living costs.
does anyone know how this works?
thanks!
I think what you are talking about is having the credit card attached to your home loan.
Let's say you earn $2000 per month. Monthly mortgage payment is $800 ($600 interest, $200 principal). That leaves $1200 from your pay check that is also applied to your home's principal. You've applied about $1400 toward your home's principal. Now pay your bills with the credit cards. Any money you spend with the credit card is added to your home's principal balance. So, at the beginning of the month, your principal may have been reduced $1400 ($1200 about $200 principal from the $800 mortgage payment). As you pay your other bills, those charges are added back into your homes principal balance.
Any left over money at the end of the month is retained by the mortgage company and is applied to your home's principal (minus possible interest charges). If you don't spend more than the remaining principal for the month, your card is actually paid in full at the end of the month.
Hadn't heard that one. Most of these pay off your home mortgage faster deals involve a home equity loan. And, no, they don't work. The HELOC usually have higher interest rates. Makes no sense to pay a lower interest rate mortage with a higher interest rate HELOC.
The credit card idea makes even less sense.
It doesn't work. A credit card has an interest rate many times that of a mortgage.

Is it better for me to settle my own debts or use a company?Will this then give me a credit score?
Is it better for me to settle my own debts or use a company?Would they be able to settle cheaper than just by myself? Will this then give me a credit score?
I'm 22, never had any credit at all (no cellphone, or cars bought that are on my credit,no credit cards), I'm wanting to try to buy a house now, but when I was younger I was immature and have about $5,000 of unpaid bills on my credit (medical,electric,water bill,phone bill,etc.) some about 4 years old up to last year... Any advice would help
also I have like $700 on my credit because I signed up to go to College, when I just turned 18, but I guess I didn't think that I was signed up until I applied for federal grants, Or go on the first day, but they have that on my credit report, I guess I didn't understand at that time. Is there anything I can do about that?
I would try just paying the cheaper ones first..and the bigger accounts try to talk with them yourself (some collectors are wiling to work with you) and if it doesn't work out then try using a consolidation company..As for the $700 I'm pretty sure you might have to end up paying that also, it depends on the statues of limitations in your state (Age to enter contract)..But I did the same exact thing you did as a kid, but luckily my total debt only came up to $1,126 and I'm paying it off now...
As for tips on building credit..try applying for a secured credit card at your local bank or credit union and you decide your limit with your deposit ($300 )..I hope this helped !!

Charged off bank card?
had like 111$ charged off i know it goes to systems and says my balence at 0 now....can i still use my card? this like second chance banking?
if it is charged off then that account is closed and you have a ding on your credit record showing this account was not paid in full but that they charged it off meaning they pretty much figured you would not pay the debt and wrote it off to a collection agency,

I have a question about my credit score.?
I am 18 almost 19 and I have never had a credit card so my credit score is 0. This is hard because I wanted to get something for my house and I can't get approved anywhere. Not even tmobile will give me a plan under my name. How can I built a credit score? where should I start?
Start by getting a secured credit card.
Just google "secured credit card" and you'll find many offers.
Here's what a secured card is. You give the bank a deposit, say $300. They send you the Visa with a $300 credit limit. You handle that just like a regular Visa, making charges and minimum payments, etc. And you'll be building a good credit history while you do this.
You don't need to charge a lot. Just a burger once a month, and a payment once a month are all it takes.
After a year, if you've handled it responsibly, they usually will upgrade you to a regular visa at that point.

How do I buy something on Ebay using paypal?
I set up my paypal account but I don't know how it works. Do I transfer money to my paypal account from my bank account before I buy something? Or does it just take it from you bank account? I transferred over a dollar to see what would happen but it said it would take 3-5 days to clear. So I'm not sure, and also do I have to connect my paypal account to my ebay account?
Sorry I know a lot of questions, but I need to know thx.
You can set up a bank account or credit card on your paypal account. When purchasing items on Ebay after you win the auction you can see ways to pay on the bottm. Just click pay with Paypal at the bottom of the won auction and it will connect you to your paypal. The funds will be pulled from your bank if thats what you have setup on paypal. It will then showed that you paid for the item on Ebay.
Once your $1 money clears with PayPal, you'll need to Transfer a balance that you can use when you order from ebay, or if you sell from ebay (ebay will take the funds from your paypal account). When you're ready to pay for something, you'll be prompted to use your paypal account, at which point you can log into that account and run the payment transaction (of course, you'll have to have enough funds there first). By the way, ebay owns PayPal, but you probably knew that.-- posted by Ghada Chmeissani.

Is there anyway I can test out my credit card to find out the expiration date?
I've lost my credit card somewhere in my house, but have the credit card number and security code written down on a piece of paper. Is there any website where I can test it to find out the expiration date if the card is in my name?
If you lost your card, contact the credit card company and ask for a replacement card.

This place: www.CapitalBankMexico.com offers very high CD rates. Is it a scam?
When it's too good to be true, it usually is, but I'm looking for first hand experience. Anyone tried this bank?
one way how to tell if your bank is in trouble or not is to look at the cd rates they offer. If they are high or very high they may be in trouble. ie trying to raise money. If they are mid or low they have a good cash flow thats why they are willing to pay you less for your money. Very high cd rates with no fdic backing. I think i would let that one pass. Its not worth risk for the few percent more you'll make.
As they say, if it is too good to be true, it is too good to be true. No FDIC insurance so you could lose everything
I've never tried it. But if you're not sure about something, don't take the risk. Especially with your money. Go to a real FDIC insured bank.

Going to court for credit debt..?
I am going to court this week..(collection agency is suing me). I am still within the SOL, i already went and submitted answer to clerk . They are suing me for 800 dollars from a old capital one card i hadnt paid 3 yrs ago as i was out of work(but am currently employed). Question is what is going to happen in court..i do not have a lawyer ..what kind of documents should i bring in ?I tried to get in touch with CA lawyer to settle before court..but couldn't get in touch with him..in my answer i denied i owned the debt...can anyone share there experience in court for credit debt?Thank you.
Unfortunately since you are within the SOL all you can hope for is to make a settlement with them before you go to court, or have the additional court costs associated with this action also added to you amount owed. What some posters here do not seem to understand is if you have a judgment against you that cannot be removed by BK
Maybe you should have paid your debt 3 years ago when you got a job again? This probably would have been the best way about it. And filing BK doesnt do anything for you but make it worse, and its not gonna remove their judgement. BK is for the people who are irresponsible and need a quick out for their irresponsibility. Pay the bill like a responsible adult.
Same with me. Old Capital one credit card bought by bill collector. I go to court soon. My scum low life bill collector is Patenaude and Felix. I plan to take my camera and get some pictures of this scum. He might get a judgement, but I'm filing Bankruptcy very soon anyway. I just want to cost him as much money and time as I can. Yes in Nevada you can claim Bankruptcy for a credit card judgment!
they summoned me to court but after some back and forth they just accepted 30 dollars a month from me for 800 dollars. I did not have to go to court but if your state allows wage garnishment they will take a percentage of what you make. good luck
File bankruptcy. You do not need to have the entire $175.00 filing fee. File a petition to have the $175.00 paid in 60 days.
Let the attorney know you are in bankruptcy status and they will back off.

When i lose my credit card can i.....?
if i ever do lose my card and i report it and some one else uses it,can i found out who did like their address? and also if i found a credit card what do i do is there a reward?
P.S. im new to CC's
Most likely the person who has lost the card has already reported it lost & the account is closed, so there is no incentive for a reward.
If someone uses your card (after its stolen or lost), you do not get any info on who it is, where they possibly live etc. All you do is report a fraudulent charge to your card to the card's fraud department and follow their instructions.
I don not think they would tell you their Address you know legal rights.
And as for as you finding a credit card and getting a award for being honest you need to check your self a your motives.

Does adding an additional cardmember onto my AMEX account help build their credit?
If you add a spouse or child to your credit card account as an authorized user, it will show up and be counted in their credit score. But it won't work for non-related people. Fair Issac has changed the scoring method to prevent people selling piggyback privileges to strangers.
It does help. The Fair Isaac Company changed the methodology again and does include credit history of people who are authorized users on credit cards.

Can I clean up my credit myself?
I want to raise my credit score. Can I improve my credit by myself? What is the first step?
First step: Get a copy of your credit report from each bureau at www.annualcreditreport.com.

If you find mistakes go back to the website and dispute each mistake with each of the three bureaus. You will find a tab on their site for disputes...
This is the basic %26quot;clean-up%26quot; you can do to your credit report.
Anything that is on there and belongs to your credit file is yours.
Any %26quot;bad%26quot; entries will fall off after 7 years.
Current credit card accounts in good standing:
If you carry a balance on your cards start paying them off.
The most points you get thru these accounts is by never using more than 30% of the available credit in a billing cycle. So maxing out credit cards and paying them off in full at the end of the month is just as bad as maxing them out period.
Installment loans... they don%26#039;t do much to your credit score. You are expected to make your monthly payment in full until the loan is paid off.
They become detrimental if you have too many of them and you are seeking yet another installment loan.
So before you go out to get pre-qualified for a mortgage:
All Credit Card Balances should be down at or below the 10% limit of the cards credit limit.
Try not to have car loans... pay that car off and drive it before you apply for a mortgage.

I want to help my parents run their business. were do i start?
ok, so my parents and my aunt own an EMS transportation company. basically, its a medican transportation company for the sick and elderly. they do hospital discharges, transportation to dialysis and oncology facilities, anywere patients have appointments. we have ambulances and emt's for basic life support. we also have minivans for patients who do not require ambulatory transportation, but have no other means of conveyance to their appointments. so basically, i want to help them run their company, but i dont know the first thing about running a business.
are there any special classes or courses that i should look at? should i go to a technical college? what programs should i take into consideration?
Business accounting courses would be invaluable I would think. There are medical billing courses offered by many community colleges as well. They would cover things like insurance, medicare, and medicaid.
you should check with the state to see if you need a CDL type driver's license. if you could get EMS training that would be good too. you should tell your parents that you want to learn the business and see if they will start teaching you. tell them you want to learn the business inside and out and ask where and when you can start.
Some of the ways you can advertise your business are:
1. Post an article about your business on related blogs and get free visitors and back links
2. Submitting to directories
3. Free classifieds
4. Forums
Send an email with more information about your business to e@culx.net for free help on finding new customers and increasing sales.
Why don't you ask your parents? The question I would ask is: If there's something that you really wish you had knowlege about, what would that be? Then look into pursuing that. It will "fill in a gap" that's missing in their business.

Ebay scam? Wants to send money by post?
Someone has brought my psp and 39 games on ebay for 350 (should I sell for this?) and they say they dont have paypal so want to send the money via post - they arent asking me to send the item first though, just asking for my home address so they can send it. Does this sound dodgy? they have 100% feedback of 8 transactions.
I only sell by paypal on ebay now after a woman sent me a check for MORE than the amount due, I sent her a check for the difference (thinking she made an honest mistake) and sent the item. I had waited for the check to clear first mind you. Then THREE WEEKS LATER the check bounced with check bouncing fees added from my bank. I had one heck of a time finally getting back the $12 for the book, plus the shipping amount, plus the difference I sent her back plus the check overdraft fees. I had to complain through ebay and square trade and it was a big MESS. Even money orders can be fake now and money wires are suspect. You are selling for a lot of money. I would not chance it. The woman I dealt with had good feedback of higher than that and had mostly bought Bibles on ebay. I think her bank may have let her check to me go through for about a week on overdraft to her until she didn%26#039;t cover her overdraft and then her bank bounced it back to my bank, but writing the check for more than the amount was suspicious. They can have good feedback initially until the check bounces and then you can%26#039;t fix your feedback error to them. And now ebay only allows POSITIVE feedback for buyers, no negative feedback is allowed for buyers, so if she only buys things, then of course she will have 100% no matter how many checks she bounces.
P.S. Tell her you will only accept a POSTAL money order if it is U.S. In the U.S. it is a federal crime to use the post office for mail fraud.
l use e-bay and very often sent the money in a letters. seems dodgy not accepted or you think that will send you a car-bomb inside?
as a seller- firstly you have to get the payment and if you do not get- all ok. you may inform e-bay that you didn%26#039;t get it so they will not charge you for tansaction.. it%26#039;s not obligation to have a pay-pal, but is obligation to be honest.. you can not charge that person more then 350. beeing a member of e-may (what you are?) you accept to sell it for a final price..
if you have a doubt- ask e-bay..
Oh my god ... are you for real? He wants to send you the money first before you post it to him??? lol
So what? Wait until the money comes and then post. It%26#039;s not like it%26#039;s you post it to him and wait for payment. That would be dodgy.
I know several people that don%26#039;t use paypal on ebay. If you are concerned you could always get a PO box so they won%26#039;t have your home address. Just wait till the check clears before sending the items.

Does amazon send items to India?
I am in India and want to know if I buy products on amazon.com, will they ship it to India?
Depends on what kind of products you want to buy from amazon.com. Amazon only ships books, music cds etc to India. But if you are looking for other products, they may/may not ship to India. But if you want to buy stuff from US that you cant get in India, you get it through 20north.com. Even I wanted to get a play station from amazon but they wouldn't ship. I found it on 20north.com and they delivered it to my doorstep in India from US and they have a huge range too almost as good as target.com or amazon. and they accept payment in rupees too
