Hi, I am a self-employed person. I need your help in making plans to renew my mortgage. Ten years back, I took a mortgage to build my home. Most of my well-wishers, including my friends and family, suggested me to take an existing home mortgage. But, I had some other plans about my home and to fulfill my dreams, I tried to get a construction mortgage. It was not an easy task to get approved for a construction mortgage and after a long series of rules, finally, I acquired what I wanted.

I need help settling out of my medical debt. I am low income and cannot afford to pay all of it off. I am already in a lawsuit with one of the collections agencies. All together it is well under $5,000 but I cannot afford to pay off all of it. What can I do?

Is it a violation of FDCPA if the employer garnishes wages without a lawsuit? Can a creditor do it?

Do I have to pay more on mortgage interest rate if the back-end ratio is higher than 43%?

Is FICO score and FAKO score the same?

Hello everyone. Thank you for all the helpful information on this site. I am currently taking steps to end this vicious cycle and payoff these debts. I have a few payday loans and 2 installments loans here in Texas: Ace Cash Express (Installment) Speedy Cash (Installment) Check Into Cash (Payday) CashnetUSA (Payday) Advance America (Payday) Check N Go (Payday) Power Finance (Payday) I ended up taking one loan to payoff another loan which was not smart. After reading and researching, the solution seems to be: 1. Close my bank account 2.

I'm planning to file bankruptcy. I have $15000 in my bank. I will pay $10000 to my best friend and clear a portion of my debt. The rest will be cleared through bankruptcy. I owe $48,000 in total. Am I thinking in the right direction?

I want to plan a realistic budget but how will I know whether or not my plan is ok? Is there any way I can compare my budget with others?
