I have recently checked my credit report and I realized I had several credit card accounts which were unused for several years running with a zero balance for some time.
I would like to close them to resolve my accounts and improve my overall credit.
I have to admit that some of the credit companies are quite odd (not cititbank or MBNA) but smaller credit houses from obscure stores I once purchased something to earn the 10% off etc.
How do I go about contacting the credit card companies to close these empty accounts?

I just started paying back my student loans this month and I am already wondering how I could pay them off quick. I have 9000 in loans that are at a variable rate of up to 8.25% and 11000 locked in at 6.8%. I have applied to do EFT which will save me .25%. Any ideas on how to speed up paying off my loans. Also is there any places that help pay off loans?

Nationwide insurance is discriminatory aganist pit bulls as they do not give quotes or cover homeowners for homeowners insurance if you have a pit bull. I hate bad owners that make it so hard for good owners and good pit bulls, it’s absurd!!!! Are there other insurance agencies that do this wrongful act too???

I am trying to pick my credit score back up off the floor and have heard that you can do this by applying for credit cards and making the payments on them. Nice! Except, I went through a divorce and my credit is now lowsy. I pay all my bills on time and have a decent job, yet credit card companies don’t give me the time of day. Does anyone know of a company that will work with a credit slacker like me?

Nothing bothers me quite like insurance salesman that call themselves “financial planners”. They would rather sell someone whole life insurance than explain to them how a Roth IRA with ETFs works. I wonder if they are just ignorant or if they actually understand that they are insurance salesman and they have no clue about retirement planning.

I recently paid my credit card bill of $2.27, however the credit card company entered the payment as $227.00, causing $50 in overdraft fees at my bank. The credit card company had me fax over a statement with the bank fees on it so they can take care of it, however after 3 weeks they still haven’t done it, they tell me that they don’t even know if the statement is in the building and that they get hundreds of faxes a day and as soon as they get to it, they will handle it, what if this takes months? Is there a way I can make them take care of this matter more quickly? I just went ahead and paid my banks fees just so I could use my bank account again. Did I do the right thing? What if the credit card company never received the fax and they end up asking for another one, how can I make sure that they receive it? They corrected the mistake between the $2.27 and $227.00, maybe that’s all I can hope for.

I owe $9,000 in student loans. They just started garnishing my wages for $500/month. The loans were from 1998 and do not appear on my credit report. The collection company told me that once they’re paid off that they will appear as not in default on my credit.

I compared the co pays on several reputable dental insurance companies and it is very expensive. Many things are not covered, even with the best dental insurance. Health insurance is usually a 10 dollar co pay for primary physicians and a 35-50 dollar co pay for specialty physicians. Is there any reason why dental insurance co pay is as expensive as it is?

My father in-law has incurable cancer, and outstanding credit card debt of about $55K. Can the credit card companies sue his estate or children to collect the outstanding balances on his accounts once he passes away?
