3. I have heard that you should always keep a small balance on all your cards. T or F (Explanation Please)

4. Should I try and get an outside loan from a banker or lender to get a lower APR than what they are offering at the dealership?

5. Any other useful tips to help keep my credit score on the rise without accruing allot of debt?

Thanks Allot.

Is there a statute of limitation on how long a bank can wait to deduct debits on your bank account?

educated-mom asked:


Last year several debits never cleared our bank acct. Now, after 18 months, they are being taken out at one time. Over 800.00 worth. Can they do this? How can you fight this as it will drastically effect our finances. Can it be set up to take out a portion per month? What do we do?

Why did my bank start giving me less interest?

jake asked:


A few months ago, i was getting about 80 cents interest per month from my savings bank account in TD Banknorth. Recently, this 80 cents a month dropped to half, 40 cents a month. Does anyone have an explanation or thought on this?
Much appreciated, thank you.
Also, will this interest rate go back up? If so, do you know how long it would take?

Can I buy stuff online with this credit/interactive card and a bank account?

ballist1x asked:


So, I want to buy something form a website and I’ve made a test. I’ve filled out everything except the “Payment Type” and “Credit Card Number”. The thing is that I have a bank account and a card. I saw on the back that there were 3 little logos. 2 of them were mastercard’s and one of them are Interac. The other 2 have Cirrus and Maestro write on them witch means that this card is MasterCard. So…I guess “Payment Type” will be Master Card but that leaves “Credit Card Number”. Do I type the number on this card or what. Becasue it says credit card and my card isn’t really a “credit” card cuz I don’t work so theres no way I can get a credit…on my credit card I guess. But if it’s mastercard will this do for my purchase or do I really need a real CreditCard when I start work.

Thanks.

Can a bank withdraw funds from an account I have at a different bank to pay an overdue loan?


I have a mortgage with a bank. The renters left and I have no way of covering the mortgage until I get new renters. The bank took the mortgage out of my checking account. If I close this checking account and open another one at a different bank can they access my new checking account to get their funds.Submited by:Martha B
