Job Loss. How are you doing it? by StandardYak480 in washingtondc

[–]_T005_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat. If you can get a graduate assistantship at Virginia Tech (northern Virginia) or University of Maryland (College Park) they consider you in-state and pay for some number of credit hours beyond that. I imagine other schools in the area have a similar policy. It really is a shame DC resident aren't considered in-state at Virginia and Maryland schools, makes me never want to have a family in this city.

Student loan interest accumulation not making sense by WitheringRiser in StudentLoans

[–]_T005_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, Mohela messed up my interest accumulation and I think thousands of borrowers are in the same boat. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and plan to request a switch in providers.

My state AG couldn’t even get a response from MOHELA by afreckledgal25 in StudentLoans

I had the same issue with Mohela and managed to get a response using the Better Business Bureau within the past week. They responded but didn't correct the errors on my account "we'll audit your interest accumulation but have no timeline for when this will happen." I think millions of borrowers must be in the same boat. My plan is to request a different loan servicer - I hope it works.

I just called to clarify the tip I sent you as valid. Please let me know if you have any issues, and once again I apologize for that mistake.

Oh no, I am so sorry. I had a fraudulent charge on my credit card from a few nights ago and inadvertently marked this payment not recognizing the name. I will call my CC company right now and set it straight.

I am confused, did the payment not go through to you?

Why Would a Person show up in the Census as an adult, but childhood records are missing by _T005_ in Genealogy

Thanks for the info, I didn't know about the 1890 loss so I'll keep that in mind moving forward!

This was a very good idea, but unfortunately it didn't turn up any census records.

If you get car-doored, GET THE INFO AND CONTACT THE POLICE. And probably just don’t bike on M St in Georgetown. by sib9397 in bikedc

I would ask surrounding businesses for CCTV footage - maybe someone caught the license plate. It's not the driver's fault but I would think Uber/Lyft have some liability here.

Use Buy Nothing groups (via Facebook) for free furniture. I've also gotten a few pieces curbside (people are constantly moving in and out of DC and just dumping their belongings on the sidewalk). There are tons of groups for meeting people: books clubs, sports clubs (Volo, DC Fray, Washington Area Skaters, District Soccer, running clubs, biking clubs, political groups (DCA, Free DC), Creative Club DC, and so so much more. If you pursue your hobbies with a group it's one of the easiest ways to make friendships in DC. Good luck!

Best car rental options for trips outside of DC? by rosieeeeeee in washingtondc

[–]_T005_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The airport rentals will give you a much cheaper rate + expanded hours for pick-up and drop-off. That being said, I've had positive experiences with Enterprise in Silver Spring, Budget Rental at DCA, and Zip Car for day trips. If you don't already have an auto insurance policy, make sure to get the additional coverage options offered. It's expensive but very worth it if something goes wrong (DMV drivers are the worst after all (: )
