applying for PT jobs....wayyyy tooo time consuming

14 years 3 months ago
ok, so im getting really desperate here and wanted to apply for some pt jobs. So far ive applied at: applebees, macys and target. It's taken 2.5 hours to complete those?!?!? I appreciate being able to do it online, but all except applebeees had a #100 questionnaire, basically asking personality questions. it's been a long time since I applied for a regular job. My field of works is highly specialized but im getting paid salary right now so no opportunity for increasing hours, etc. I just want something max 20/hours a week, low key, flexible hours.

 

FYI - call blocking

14 years 3 months ago
Everyone always asks about how to get rid of harassing phone calls. My solution, BLOCK them. I used an ap on my droid, called "mr. number" but there are numerous ones out there. I have it set to block all toll free numbers, then all unknown numbers come across and either i can answer it, then block if i want or ignore it and it's blocked. My phone barely rings except for ppl that know me. I have it set to answer the call and hang up, rather than go to voicemail, this way they dont even know if they have the right number.

 

court next week

14 years 3 months ago
I am being sued in TN next week and on the summons it states that there is a $10k exemption allowed as long as it is filed anytime before the judgement. Both of the cars we have are in my name, which I dont believe they would want mine, a $1500 Honda, but I plan on putting the wifes and mine both on the list. The wifes car is a 2005 pacifica and is owed about $6500 which is about the same as what it is worth.

 

Being sued by Lawyer out of Carrollton

14 years 3 months ago
I have been sued. I live in Texas. I cannot afford an attorney. Help, please. What do I do next? The plaintiff says Cap One. It's all car of Michael J. Scott, PC. I don't believe that I ever recieved a letter stating that I would be getting sued, otherwise I would have been freaking out before now. The debt is about 2 and a half years old. If he went through with filing in the courts already, does that mean that he can verify the debt? The odd part is, it's showing as a small business credit card, I've never had a business, much less a credit card for one. I'm confused.

 

settled with citi

14 years 3 months ago
My first settlement, my citi mastercard had been turned over to capital managment, it was about 120+ days behind. I'm unable to make a lump sum payment but if I could I would have gotten it at 33%. So we settled on 40%, with payments over 9 months, which is doable for me. I will slowly start to settle others, i have about 12 more, another citi, I called and they no offer, they're somewhere b/w 90-120 days. i actually made payments for october on most of my accounts, so Im good for a while and going to try to save up.

Debt settlement & Taxes

14 years 3 months ago
I have a question. We are working with Superior Debt Services to consolidate and settle some debt and I was curious to here of others' experiences with this company and if/how it affected your taxes. I've read somewhere that in some cases you have to claim the amount they write off as income. We are facing major changes in Jan., I cannot afford any surprises! Any feedback anyone has on Superior Debt Services in general are appreciated. Thank you!

How long before CC willl sue

14 years 3 months ago
What is the average amount of days late will a credit card company sue you? Do they try sending the debt to a collection agency first and then they sue? Is it possible to know when they might sue, so I can arrangements before than? I live in a non-garnishment state, but They could take my checking account, right? How much do they have to leave for living expenses? Can I just take all the money out of checking account and turn off direct deposit? Just want to know what you all have experienced. Thanks!
