How do I get an auto finance company to stop calling me? May 9, 2010
Posted by Banking in : Other - Business & Finance , 4commentsNo-Dogg asked:
A former friend took out a car loan and wasn’t making payments. Without my knowledge, he listed my name as a credit reference with my phone number. I haven’t seen this guy in over a year and they are calling me everyday asking about the car or money. I don’t have any knowledge of his whereabouts. Isn’t there anything I can do to make it so they can stop calling me besides telling them to stop(which I already have) They never called me to confirm whether he is a credit risk or not, but we already weren’t friends, so I would have said I can’t vouch for him. Any help would be appreciated

I’m moving and need to put my money in a bank closer to my new house, what would be the steps to doing that? Also, how would I treat CDs, because there is a penalty if I take the money out before 5 years. Would it be different if I watned to close teh account than if I just wanted to take the money out of the CD?Submited by:chrisbottan
How many credit cards should you have to rebuild credit? April 30, 2010
Posted by Banking in : Credit , 8comments
I am trying to rebuild my credit after ID theft, a couple of problems that were mine and years of basically not having any credit reported. (I primarily use my debit card and pay cash for everything). I make good money now and am trying to rebuild in order to purchase a condo in the next couple of years. My good accounts (rental, club, cable, cell, etc.) have not reported my good credit. So how many cards should I take out that will help boost my credit score but not hinder my credit. Thank you!Submited by:Nikita

What happened to the savings of people in the 100 banks which have failed? February 25, 2010
Posted by Banking in : Other - Business & Finance , 2commentsKevin asked:
Yesterday in the news it was announced that the 100th bank failed since the beginning of the year. My question is: Did the bank customers in those banks lose their savings? Were their accounts locked, or were those banks bought by larger banks? Did people lose their money or not?
Please no guesses or opinion. If you know the answer that it what I am asking for.
How do you report a website illegally selling credit card and banking information? February 11, 2010
Posted by Banking in : Law & Ethics , 2comments
I looked up a family members name on Google and found their name and credit card information amongst a list of hundreds of others with credit card and banking information available for sale, and also illegally selling verified PayPal accounts for money. How do I report this? Clearly it’s extremely illegal..
Thanks.
