Sometimes it seems like the econ. is taking one step forward.....with two back. Always hate to lose ANY competition, but this store wasn't ANY competition when it came time for me to buy. The customer service was the ABSOLUTE WORST I have ever encountered. Here is a blurb from the...

I have a question. It is better to close cc accounts with a balance or without? My hubby is now in charge of paying off debt and I want to close my accounts so I won't use them but am afraid my credit report would be hurt. Thanks for all the help.

just am looking for some advice and feedback about closing my checking account.... is it a good idea? I've been toying with the idea of closing the checking account and just having a savings account. learning the envelope system to pay my bills sounds like it'll be easier to keep track...

DH was laid off on Nov 3rd. He was paid on a 2 week delay so we had some more checks from his employer this month, but unemployment has been slow to send out the checks. So I figured for this month that we'd be $1491 short. We have a fair chunk in savings, so I wasn't too worried. The...

Dave says to close credit card accounts after you pay them, but the only reason I have heard for doing so is to prevent identity theft which I don't find very compelling. I know I'm not supposed to care about FICO, but it seems like closing accounts unnecessarily torpedoes it which could hurt...

What's the rule of thumb? JCPenney just sent us a sweet little love note stating our rate has been bumped up to 29.99%. We don't have a balance on it . . . and I don't even recall the last time we used it (we pay it off at the end of the month when we do). Does it hurt our credit to close it...

Some of you may know that we managed to sell our home, even in this economy, and we move this week!!!! Today we had the closing on our new home (new to us.....). It has been 30 years since we last closed on property and the procedure has changed a lot! We had no idea what to expect at...

The buggers! I just renewed my membership in late Jan - didn't have it for a month and all the locations are closing down? My friend told me that it was just Ontario locations but its all the Sam's Clubs in Canada, as per the message on their site - link below. I think they're going to convert...

I just found out today that the car dealership that DH works at is closing in 60-90 days. We knew that the sales department was hurting badly but the repair shop was breaking even/ little profit. Hubby is the master mechanic at the shop along with the only one who is certified in all areas on...

I keep seeing on here all the people getting laid off or the place just closing. I don't know what's going on but the future around here (colorado) isn't looking too good. My business phone just stopped ringing two weeks ago. I mean just stopped. This is really getting scary, I really don't...

and I don't have to pay bills out of my pension! Ok here's the skinny: We converted to a budget where we paid half of the month's bills on one payday (DH's payday) and the other half would be paid on the second payday before the bill is due. It turns out to be the easiest way for us because...

Here is an an article I found http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28452746/ Looks like we will see stores closing? Wonder how the small stores will fair. I over heard a conversation with our local hardware store owner ( at Thanksgiving) They asked how he was doing. He answered with a solemn face...
