gs_analyst asked:


Im about to graduate with a B.S. in Finance from a respected university (Lehigh). My gpa is good, however, people have been telling me that my crappy credit report is going to prevent me from getting a job period. If that’s the case, what can I do? I’ve paid most of them off; but the fact is, at one point they were negative delinquencies.

We have placed a caveat on the title, but they are taliking about taking the house to mortgagee auction in the hope of getting more money than we have agreed to pay. Is there any legal action I can take aginst the finance company? No point sueing the vendor he’s gone bankrupt and is leaving New Zealand.

I graduated last May with a behavioral science degree and will finish my MBA next year. I finally figured out what I want to do but my background and education isn’t in finance so I can’t find any jobs I am qualified for in this field. What are some places that would hire someone looking to start a career in finance? Or do you just have to get the CFP and series 7 and 63 first before anyone will hire you?

working gal asked:


I have a discover card, and I had an 18 month period with no finance charges. My time is up and finance charges started this month. I was told by someone that if you call them and ask for an extended time with no finance charges they usually will because they don’t want you to transfer to another card. Has anyone ever done this? How do I go about it?

Can anyone tell me what participation split means with a car dealership and a finance company?

xsvideo asked:


I have a high interest rate loan on a truck, I am paying the payments on time and I am thinking about getting something else with a better interest rate. But I found out that car dealerships and finance companies have participation splits when they sell a car and complete the financing. I wanted to know what that means and am I paying for it. My rate is 24.9% I know that is high but my wife and I had not choice due to a loss in job. We are ok with it but really need to make a change now. Any advice would help. We have stable income and credit scores between 540 and 587, all of our credit cards and car payments and other bills have been on time for the past 12 months. We have some old judgments that maybe total $3500.00; one is a medical bill and the other a membership we never used at a discount supply place. Thank you for your answers in advance.
