I'm a little confused on the fees on my credit card, so I need an example as a guide. I'm good with math but I don't understand the vocabulary used in reference. Thanks I know credit cards are bad but they're also a relief in an emergency. If I'm going to have one, I might as well understand the fees.
Here's my question: I take out a cash advance from my local bank using my credit card. My cash limit is $500 and the APR is 24.90%. There's also a note that says Quarterly Prime + margin previously disclosed to you. I know I have to pay $10 to the credit card company and nothing to the local bank. Say I take out $500, how much would be due at the end of the month? Thanks.
Thank you Frank that makes a lot of sense. I plan on paying it within two weeks before the next billing month. The cash advance fee is $10.
Credit cards are not bad if you use them wisely. i e only charge what you can afford to pay off in full when the monthly statement comes. No "cash advance" fees when you use as a charge card (instead of a personal loan generator); and no interest charge if paid in full and on time every month.
Cash advances are generally a bad idea. {FYI interest charges start from day 1 on cash advance loans whether you pay them off before the next due date, or not.}
prime + means your interest rate can go up (and probably will - not lol).
You could be paying about $25 a month for (rough guess) 2.5 - 3 years.
24.90% is a horrible rate. You pay $200 !! more per year per each $1,000 outstanding than I do on my credit union loan.
Whether readers are overwhelmed by credit card debt or trying to prevent it altogether, this book has the answers. The author's basic three step program provides the information readers need to reduce interest rates, eliminate fees, and negotiate with credit card companies to keep their credit report clean.

An up-to-date resource on the intricacies of the credit default swap basisWhile credit default swaps and credit derivatives are of great concern to many in the field of finance, the Second Edition of The Credit Default Swap Basis does not directly focus on these issues. It is instead about an aspect of CDS behavior, the basis, which is of importance to all users of CDS products. An understanding of the basis is essential to anyone involved in the credit-risky debt capital markets, whether you`re an investor, trader, or broker.The credit default swap basis (the basis) defines the relationship between the cash and synthetic credit markets. Finance professionals need to understand the drivers of the basis in order to better undertake investment and value analysis, and for trading purposes. In this updated Second Edition, author Moorad Choudhry, a market practitioner who has published widely in the field of credit derivatives, explores this dynamic discipline and examines the structural changes in the CDS market, including new settlement mechanisms and contract standardization. Along the way, he describes how basis pricing has changed in the aftermath of the financial crisis and what that change means in regard to overall market and trading opportunities.The only book on basis issues of credit default swaps, it provides practitioners with vital information on valuation, credit risk assessment, and basis trading strategiesAddresses structural changes to the market, including the introduction of central clearing houses in the U.S. and Europe and standardization of contracts to reduce disputes about payout settlementsCovers the close relationship between the synthetic and cash markets in credit, which manifests itself in the credit default swap basisThe Credit Default Swap Basis, Second Edition offers invaluable market insights to all financial professionals seeking a deeper understanding of cr
People wouldn't be as likely to go into debt due to interest building on their account.
Business would get to keep more money because they wouldn't have to pay for credit card terminals, and related fees charged by the credit card companies.

They never go into debt, and never pay interest
It's only a small minority of people that charge up to the max and then can't pay
Don't ever think that a credit card user is paying any fees of any kind
Another stat: People that use credit cards make larger purchases.
Time after time this is the case.
Take gas stations. Cash buyers only buy $5. Then they have to pay inside.
This blocks other cars for pumping gas if station is busy.
Also the station has to pay for more man power (people) to staff the place.

One more: 6% of all currency out there is counterfit.
If I were a business I would gladly take credit cards any day and pay the 2% merchant fee for security of non counterfit bills. And not having to hire more people to manage cash registers

Even one more: Muggings would be rampid.
Every thief out there would know that people are carrying large amounts of cash.

What are the tax implications in Canada of $8000 tax credit for buying a home in US?
I'm Canadian citizen and H1 in US. I file taxes in both countries (Refund in US, pay in Canada). Is there any advantage of buying a house in US and get the $8000 credit, keeping in mind the more return I get there, I'll have to deduct from the taxes paid (I think) when filing in Canada.
I file taxes as a resident as I'm considered a resident for tax purposes
I'd think there would be little gain from the credit itself. In effect, you foreign tax credit in Canada will be reduced if you paid less tax in the US, so the money is in one hand, out the other.
Whether you buy in the US should be based on your needs and situation, not the tax savings.

Shocked by the commerce in everything from pet cloning to patriotism, frightened by the downward spiral of her finances and that of the trash-strewn earth, Judith Levine enlists her partner, Paul, in a radical experiment: to forgo all but the most necessary purchases for an entire year. Without consumer goods and experiences, Judith and Paul pursue their careers, nurture relationships, and try to keep their sanity, their identities, and their sense of humor intact. Tracking their progress -- and inevitable lapses -- Levine contemplates need and desire, scarcity and security, consumerism and citizenship. She asks the Big Questions: Can the economy survive without shopping? Are Q-tips necessary? Not Buying It is the confession of a woman any reader can identify with: someone who can`t live without French roast coffee or SmartWool socks but who has had it up to here with overconsumption and its effects on the earth and everyone who dwells there. For the humor and intelligence of its insights, the refreshment of its skepticism, and the surprises of its conclusions, Not Buying It is sure to be on anyone`s list of Necessities.
With a purchase that is of the magnitude of a brand new vehicle, it is always imperative that you will be getting as much as possible for your money. Even though with a lease agreement you will not be paying outright for a vehicle, you will still be spending a huge amount of money over the full term of the lease agreement. This is why a full negotiation process is essential.
Negotiating a personal car lease agreement can be very confusing, even for people with experience in negotiating car lease agreements due to the small monetary adjustments that may look like small increments but can make huge differences over the full course of a lease agreement. This is why it is sensible to do your homework before you even consider negotiating a lease with a dealer.
But what do you need to know in order to negotiate a personal car lease? All the answers you need are detailed below.
Let the salesman know your situation - Many experts in personal vehicle leasing advise people against telling the salesman about your desire to lease rather than purchase a vehicle as this may give you the upper hand in price negotiations, or at least, not let you be at a disadvantage; this is simply not beneficial in today’s market and it will actually help you to let the salesman know exactly where you stand. Tell the salesman/woman that you know about the leasing process and have in-depth knowledge of the vehicle, and that you want to negotiate the vehicle price and not monthly payments or interest.
Work out how much you are willing to pay - Prior to any negotiations on purchase prices, you need to have an idea of how much you would be willing to pay for the vehicle if you were paying for the car in full. It is common misunderstanding that when you are looking to lease a vehicle, you are unable to negotiate the full purchase price of the vehicle. Contrary to that belief, you should always try to negotiate the full purchase price down as this is the main factor in calculating your monthly payments. It is sensible to begin price negotiations from the starting point of the dealers purchase price and work up as opposed to negotiating down from the advertised price. Furthermore, discuss with the salesman or woman whether there are any advertised special deals, factory to dealer incentives, rebates or discounts that could reduce the price even further.
Check the prices - Once you have agreed on the deal, ask the salesman to work out the monthly payments. The salesman will invariably leave to speak to their finance manager, at which time it is sensible to make your own calculations on costs based on all the details you have discussed with the salesman. When he/she returns, check your figures with theirs to see if there are any discrepancies. There may be an error in the form of an extra charge or incorrect trade-in price with your previous vehicle.

Whenever we encounter money problems ranging from insufficient funds to buy a new house or lack of stable income to clear debts, we often count on loans to deliver and save us from this troublesome event. There will come a point where our decision in choosing the type of loan is greatly needed and will play an important part in dictating what our future will be. At present, loans are categorized into 2 types namely: Unsecured loans and Secured loans.
For people who did not have a home to offer as collateral or those who didn’t want to put their homes at risk, unsecured loans can be the ideal financing they need. Getting cash financing while safeguarding your properties and valuable possessions can be a very attractive advantage of this type of loan . In this loan, financers take more of the risk and would only offer a limited amount depending on the capacity of the borrower. Loan application here would take a longer time and more documents shall be needeed from the borrower . The terms of the loan such as the rate of interest and the monthly repayment schedules are expected to be a little more expensive though .
On the other hand, secured loans are the ideal type of financing especially when needing large sums of money. You will need to present collateral in exchange for better and cheaper terms. A car, a house property or luxurious jewelries all can serve as colleteral in this loan . Being able to borrow a higher amount of money faster is a very sought-after advantage of this loan . They are also accompanied with a lower interest rate coupled with better and flexible repayment schedules . Applying for this loan can be faster including those people who had a bad credit history. The only unlikable factor that is present in this loan is the risk of losing your home or properties. When having this type of loan, always remember to never skip repayments so to avoid any complications .
Whatever loan you pick, giving extra effort in closely evaluating your options can yield very favorable and satisfying results . Also, never get a loan plan if you are uncertain that you will be capable of paying it. Secured loans can have very good and beneficial packages but can also put your properties in danger. Always seek for advice from professionals and if possible, get reviews and recommendations from borrowers who also encountered before the situation that you are having now. And lastly, choosing the right and generous financer is crucial as discounts, incentives and better deals can also be negotiated with them.
Because of the ease and comfort of payday loans, lots of people are resorting on it as a prompt settlement to their immediate monetary challenges . A payday loan or cash advance might be the speediest and most affordable option to get away from a temporary financial predicament. Thus, if you're ever in this particular circumstance, it's not unheard of. You're not alone .
First, it's essential to understand the basic principles. The objective is for one to obtain a small cash loan and consent to repay with your next paycheck. In other words, you get your salary ahead of time. Your wait time for your forthcoming pay is substantially lowered to as little as one hour and you simply pay for that hold off reduction using the interest.
The main requirements would be a stable monthly income and a proactive checking account. Lucky in your case, the online world renders it simpler to obtain a loan. You'll be able to just do it online devoid of the hassles of faxing your documents or checking the loan lender in person. Most often you can also have the funds sent to your account .
Below are some advices that you should assess so that you will be guided when applying for a payday loan:
1. Ascertain whether you will need to take this or not. Payday loans should be your last resort for unpredicted bills . 2. Determine the exact amount. How much do you require? Loan just for the emergency expense and don't include those bills and purchases you can put back. Most lending firms use a certain maximum limit or it may be governed bystate law . 3. Research on payday loan providers. Many of these lenders have sprouted, and all of them are willing to loan you small sums of cash on a short-term period of time . These can be reputable companies, yet you still have to be careful since you will give sensitive private data 4. Know when your following payday will be, then estimate your salary. Based on the agreement, you'll have to pay back with the immediate next paycheck. 5. Gather your very own data and other pertinent documents which the lender may need so you're able to just pull them out and send them anytime. 6. Present your loan proposition, complete the application and submit your paperwork .
A few yrs ago I noticed a medical bill on mu credit report, that I felt I should have no part in paying. I mailed all the proper forms to all 3 credit bureau's and waited for a response. Later I got a letter that said the debt would be removed from my credit report, the hospital did not respond in time. I check my report often and this debt has not seemed to come back.
My question is can this debt re apear on my credit report? Is the debt still there? I have not had any calls of letter in re: to this debt, but I have moved a few times since then. I don't want to call the hospital to find out if the debt is still open, I mean out of sight out of mind, I guess.
Can they reinsert this on your credit report? Yes, but they'd have to notify you in writing within 5 days of doing so (per the FCRA) and you would then be able to challenge it.
Is the debt still there? Maybe, maybe not. The hospital may have just written it off thinking it was uncollectable, it could have fallen through the cracks or any number of things.
Probably best to just let sleeping dogs lie, although you'll probably never hear about this debt again.
