Why was my credit card lowered due to "DEROGATORY PUBLIC RECORD OR COLLECTION FILED"?
My credit limit was lowered on my CC because of this and I don't know why. I obtained a copy of my credit report and it shows all of my accounts being paid on time and I am under my limits. It still shows accounts that I closed too, but I don't think that would be the reason for the credit reduction. The word "DEROGATORY" has me bugged a bit.
At one point, i had a couple of cards that were a little over their limits, but this was a couple of years ago.
Any thoughts?

5 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs9 years agois my 401k vested after time with the company, or time since starting the 401k contributions?
I want to know if the term "vested" applies in relation to my duration with the company, or if it refers to the time that I started contributing to my 401k.
This February I will have been with the company for 6 years, but I have only been contributing to my 401K for about 5 years. Will I still be fully vested after 6 years?
3 AnswersPersonal Finance9 years agowhat does it mean that my 401k is 80% vested?
Here's what i know: after 5 years with this company, my 401k is 80% vested. In February, it will be 100% vested.
My question is: if my 401k is 80% vested, if the company i work for goes out of business, or i get laid off due to economic stress, do i get 80% of what my employer contributed?

2 AnswersOther - Electronics9 years agomy soon-to-be ex-wife may be stalking me, or having people stalk me. what can i do?
she confided in a friend of mine that she suspects me of cheating on her (i'm not by-the-way) so she is having me followed by her brother and his friends. i have not personally seen them, but my friend/informant is telling me exactly where and when i was in a location that only someone following me would know. not sure what to do......maybe there's nothing i can do. are there laws against this kind of thing? I'm not paranoid because i am doing nothing wrong, but seriously, this is frustrating and has to be illegal some way. any advice?

6 AnswersOther - Computers10 years agowhy does my computer stutter and hang for a second?
i built my PC, as i have many others. for some reason my PC hangs up for a second randomly. A few specs; i5 quad core, win 7 64 OS, 2 1 gig ddr5 ATI vid cards in crossfire, 8 gigs ddr3 ram.
Is there a "common problem" that i should check first to trouble shoot? i.e.- do video card drivers cause stammers, stutters?
any suggestion would help!
2 AnswersDesktops1 decade agoI reformatted my computer, now my ethernet does not work?
i had to reformat after a botched dual OS attempt. I am using a wired connection that works fine with my laptop (i tested it). I am getting a hardware/driver error coming from my ethernet port, even though i am using the same disk that worked in the previous installation. why would a fresh installation affect this port?
I downloaded the updated drivers, but they don't work either

3 AnswersComputer Networking1 decade agoHow do I set my oldest OS to boot first in the disk 0 volume?
I want to run dual OS with win7 as my main OS, but when i install xp on a different drive AND partition, it constantly wants to boot to xp and doesn't give me the choice to pick from the 2 OS on start up. the boot settings in my bios are no help in this matter.
it boots fine when i pull the sata cables out of my other 3 hard drives and just have my original one plugged in. do they need to be plugged into certain SATA ports?
i need a detailed answer please.....maybe a link to an instructional website
thanks in advance

3 AnswersDo It Yourself (DIY)1 decade agocan i replace a 15 amp breaker with a 20 amp breaker?
I do realize that the risk of fire is more likely, but here is the reason i am even asking this question:
Most of the wires going to my panel are the same....i don't have the numbers handy. some of the wires are already going to 20 amp breakers and some are going to 15 amp breakers. i am trying to understand why they would have 15's mixed in with 20's. The house was built in 1960. I have a forced air heater that trips the 15 amp......also the same circuit my computer is riding. If i replaced the OLD breaker with a NEW 15amp breaker, would that help?
