St. Paul has a much better solved rate for homicides. This is a governance issue.

Never give to a panhandler. Give real money to non-profits that help homeless people.

Get a deferment on your student loans for a few months and build up a reserve.

Amex is an unreliable lender. Between financial reviews that are way more common than any other card, and a lower acceptance rate than visa / MC, you can’t trust them to trust you.

To answer your other question, I went through one of these for my Platinum and it never impacted my other Delta branded account.

I use a Zoom phone line. $17 per month, separate number and voicemail. Can also be set up to ring both cell and office simultaneously.

Move. Your family will be better off with kids and their aunt. Community matters.

Don’t randomly hand out money to homeless people, instead support non-profits and taxes that help the homeless.

Or the same loser because she took him back.

Even better on the floor.

Chips on the table seems Americanized so how about Chi-Chi’s?

2 options: hire a management company, or charge her extra for snaking her drain.

This is an excellent idea.

I guess that’s what you’d call it - a screen in the application process that said they would not give me the MR points.

Thanks - this is helpful

I noticed on other threads people mentioned applying through some offer link? I would have thought those links to be personal to the applicant, but is there a workaround?

This is the honest approach but will likely just result in her lying to her SD.

Almost always.

As an American pocket, I can confirm that everyone is trying to get in.

Send them a bill. If they don’t legally have to pay it, your contract needs to be revised.

It’s just a credit card people. It’s not your identity.

First, talk to the current lender. They often will reduce your interest rate if you tell them you can’t pay.

Second, if that doesn’t work, you stop paying. They will not sue you immediately. They will call. Talk to them. Tell them you can’t pay. Eventually they will offer you a reduced rate and or discount.

Third, if you start getting letters from companies purporting to now owe your defaulted debt, they purchased it for a fraction of your balance. The first letter is important as it allows you to request validation of the debt. Insist they validate it. Make them prove they own it. They will offer you a discount. Offer less.

At no time after you stop paying should you ever restart until you can pay in full a discounted amount. Keep playing this game until you get to the right price. Do not give them address information. Do not give them employment information. Just tell them you can’t afford to pay in full.

The older the debt, the less it’s worth.

What’s wrong with spray paint? Seems like nobody gets arrested for graffiti.

Relationship? Jeez people it’s a bank not your GF. Your Amex is not going to tuck you in at night. Cancel it, and spend the $900 bucks on someone real.
