4 AnswersOther - Business & Finance6 years agoTrying to rent an apartment, paying off debt from previous apartment. Will it still affect me badly?
So i owed some money to my previous apartment from damages to the apartment before we left. Couldnt pay it after we left so it when to collections, i looked at my credit report and called the number provided so i could pay it off in full. The debt collector i spoke to said if i cant pay it completely off by the end of Oct that it will show that i paid it but it wont be completely off my credit report but if i do pay it by Oct 31st that it will be completely off my credit report. I get paid on Nov 1st so obviously i wont be able to pay it off by the end of Oct and im trying to get an apartment. I applied for an apartment already and my credit check came back as declined because of this debt i believe. If i apply again after i pay off the debt and it shows i paid it off since its still going to be on my credit report will this still affect my credit check in a negative way when trying to get an apartment or will the landlord most likely see it as a good thing? And what else do landlords look for on a credit report when renting to someone? What kind of debt is a red flag to them? Please help, i have till the end of Nov to get my own place or else im SOL. Any advice or suggestions are appreciated as well, thank you! Btw im in Illinois if that matters.

1 AnswerOther - Games & Recreation8 years agoPrivate process servers disrespecting me and harassing me but havent served me yet, can i file a complaint?
so supposedly i owed a Tribal lending company which is weird because i took out $250 and i was supposed to pay back only $325 and they just kept taking out money from my account and i paid about $600 altogether. I had to close out the account because there was fraudulent activity on my account, which i reported to my bank and they did and investigation and proved that someone had my personal bank info and was making transactions without my knowledge. and i find out that a debt company bought my "debt" and supposedly they sold my debt to a processing and investigation company. any-who, i received about 10 voice mail messages on my home phone starting in December. I had no idea where my home phone was for a few months so i was able to listen to the messages about 1 week ago. They(the private process servers) also started calling my cell about a month ago saying I have 2 hours only to call back at the number they gave me to keep my case from going to court for a count of fraud and 1 for breach of contract, they left the same messages on my home phone. so i did call back, not knowing why they were trying to serve me and i eventually found out where the "debt" came from.
They said to keep this from going to court they said i could pay the settlement amount which was about 400 something dollars, they said they were taking me to court for 700 somthing dollars, i didnt have either and i gave them a card number from my account saying i would pay the $400 on a certain day, i couldnt pay the day because my husband lost his job and i didnt have the funds, they called me again the day i was supposed to have the funds taken out my account, but the payment got returned so they they offered me to pay 23% which i didnt have so the guy i was speaking with said i would be getting served soon. Since i couldnt make any payments i said ok, expecting to get served but hadnt. then different people kept calling both of my phones saying i have 2 hours to call them because now, i have 2 counts of check fraud and a breach of contract. Then a few days ago a woman from the private process company left a message saying i would be tried in court of my absence if i didnt call back within the next 2 hours. How could i be tried if i never even received a summons. so i left a message telling them to stop calling my phone with the same message, i told them to stop harassing me and that i didnt have the money to settle and i was told u guys are going to serve me, so serve me already. i said i wanted to be served than tried in court without me there(heard they can do that and if you arent there they could garnish it from your check if the judge wants me to pay)
She called me back the next morning saying, we will serve you since thats what you want and i have it recorded and yadda yadda ya! I asked her why would tell me i would be tried in court without me if i havent got served, she said well, i was trying to give you one last chance to keep this from going to court, i told her i spoke with someone from your company and they said i was going to be served already and she started getting a real bad attitude. then she said are you at home now, i told her yes, and she said ok i am coming to serve you. she never came. then today i called them to see if i could get a copy of my contract that i supposedly breached and i want to see documents that prove i owe a debt. the same woman answered and she started yelling at me saying I DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO GIVE YOU, YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO BE SERVED AND THATS WHAT IM GONNA DO! i then stopped her and said, why are you yelling at me mam, she said, DONT INTERRUPT ME , i told her not to yell at me! i told her she was being very rude. And she kept yelling at me and then she told me shes going to terminate this call and hung up! i called back spoke with someone else and i told him her name and he said to me, " shes a private process server and a good worker" i told him i didnt care about her being a good worker, she was very rude to me and is yelling at me, she could have spoke to me in a normal tone and not act all hostile towards me. i would like to know if there is any way i can fight this or file a complaint against them.
P.S. when she was yelling at me she also said YOU WILL BE SERVED AND THATS ALL THE DOCUMENTS YOU NEED, WHEN YOU COME TO COURT YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY THE AMOUNT YOU OWE AND THATS IT, WHAT DONT YOU UNDERSTAND! very rude and the constant calls! please, any advice or experience will help! thank you! btw i am in the state of ILLINOIS!
6 AnswersLaw & Ethics8 years agoPrivate process servers have been telling me my case will be tried in my absence, is this legal?
Supposedly i have a debt with an online tribal loan company that sold them my "debt". I paid more than i was supposed to before they started calling me. Process servers have been leaving me a buttload of voicemails on my home phone and cell. I spoke with them 3 times already, they tried to make a settlement with me but i didnt have the money both times. Everytime they call they say i have 2hours or 1hour to call them back. They always call blocked but they leave a number and a case number or document number for me. They told me before i will be served at my job or home and as far as i am concerned they havent done either. my husband doesnt work and is mostly at home and i wrk morning to night so how have they tried to serve me if my husband told me nobody came to the door asking for me and my job never said anything bout it or called me in the office or parking lot so they can serve me.Today they left me a msg saying if i dont call within 2 hours i will be tried in court upon in my absence. I know nothing of where the court is, and when, and i havent had documents sent to me by mail or anything. When i told them i culdnt pay the settlement amounts they said i wuld be served and i said ok, ironically i have actually been waiting and expecting them to call me. They said i am being charged for 2 accounts of fraud and breach of contract; which i dont understand. I am in the state of illinois. What can i do to solve this matter, is this legal on their part, should i be worried and what wuld happen if they to continue the case in court without me. Please no negative comments and please, any good advice is appreciated. Thank u!
6 AnswersLaw & Ethics8 years agoPpl calling me I have 1-2 hours to call back or I will be summoned to court for check fraud?
I took out A LOAN online with Anasazi Group, and i was paying $75 every payday. i only borrowed like $200 and i had paid well over $300 already and the bank account they were taking the money out of had to get closed because there were fraudulent activities going on without my knowledge, and so once it got closed they couldnt take out anymore money. About a month ago a "LAW FIRM" kept calling my house phone leaving several messages and different people were calling saying slightly different things. (i couldnt find my house phone for a while, just found it and listened to all these messages) it was a series of calls i got, within 3 different people. One woman and one man said that i need to call the number (to the office) that they left me on the voicemail within 2 hours to make a settlement or else i will be summoned to court for check fraud, and breach of contract, the woman said the same thing, but she said to call back because they cannot locate me, they cant find where i live, they both said it was an important matter and that if i dont call back within that time frame that they would come to my job with a police officer and "serve me" the last guy that called (he called my home phone and my cell phone) he said i have 1 hour to return the call and he also gave me a case number on my voicemail. i spoke with Darren bowlden and he said he is a private process server and he called from a blocked number. he said in order to not get summoned to court is if i pay a portion of the amount of with they are suing me for which was $700 somethin, and the portion amount was $400 something i gave them a card number that had no funds in it and on the 28th they tried to take the money out, they said if the payment gets returned that i will get charged a fee and they will continue with the summons. the payment got returned i got another call from them and they wanted to know why i couldnt pay and they said that i could pay 25% of that $400 somthing dollars. I didnt even have that and each time they asked for a settlement payment agreement they said i had to make the payment immediately, that day, or i wont be able to do it. When i recieved the calls on my cell in thought it was a legit matter, but now i listened to all these msgs on my home phone, it seems like a scam and not so legit. and btw ive gotten calls like this before from ppl with sort of a MIDDLE EASTERN accent and they were trying to scam me and these people definitely sounded American. Can someone please help me figure this out. i still havent gotten a summon to go to court so is this a scam of some sort or could it be legit, im kind of in the middle with it. Has anyone delt with the same people or similar situations? thank you!
9 AnswersLaw & Ethics8 years agoMy husband said i dont feel the same when we have sex, i have never been with anybody else?
First things first, my husband has been accusing me of cheating for almost about a month now. and whenever i tell him no, he doesnt believe me, therefore really bad arguments and nights sleeping in diff rooms. Some of his ridiculous reasoning for this is: why were u 5 mins late getting home from work or, why are u walking like that, why is he calling u (a guy that WAS a mutual friend of ours from work who is always trying to hang out with my husband, but he doesnt answer because my husband thinks he wants me/thinks im cheating with him), why are u always on that laptop (which im not, he bought it for me for christmas, and hes the one who always gets STRAIGHT on the ps3 when he comes home and stays on it till he goes to sleep sometimes) and the very last reason is while we were having sex recently he says "you can tell me the truth if u have been cheating, who were you with? you dont feel the same!" anyways before i continue i must add that we both work at the same job but different shifts. he works the early morning shift and i come to work 5 hrs later and he gets off 5 hrs earlier than i do. anyways, i dont know what to do! he acts as if hes disgusted with me or always mad at me, and whenever he wants to question me he always says, keep it 100% real with me, which i always have. i honestly think i could never cheat on him. i dnt even think of other guys or look twice when i see a cute guy walk passed. hes the only one i want despite he cheated on me twice, once when we were dating and once as we are married. So im just asking for advise on how to treat the situation, what to do to get him to trust me again even though i have done nothing wrong? he keeps saying hes gonna leave me, hes said it before but onlly cause he was mad, but now he seems to always stay mad at me. i dnt believe in divorce unless the woman is cheating. i didnt get married just to give up. the crazy part is that i let him do pretty much whatever he wants but whenever i try to do a lil something like talk to a male co-worker, he flips out, i obviously know hes insecure, but how do u treat ppl who are like that?....how do u handle the situation when whatever u say, no matter how much u cry it seems as if it doesnt phase them. Last time we had sex it DIDNT feel as tight as ususall. what do i do to get it back to how it was? Is this normal? we have been together for almost 4 yrs and have been married for 1 1/2 yrs. ive tried keggalls before; didnt seem like they worked. Please help, any advice on what i shuld do to help save my marriage, (im starting to hate living with my own husband because he doessnt realize what good wife he has, im loyal, faithful, honest and i love him to death) and also any advice to get my vagina back to how it used to be. I would really appreciate any advice or support.

4 AnswersChevrolet8 years agoFeels like period but its unexpected urine, i also have pcos?
I am in my early 20s, i have PCOS (PolyCystic ovarian Syndrome) which basically in a nutshell is where i frequently have multiple cysts on my ovaries continuously, its kind of like a never ending cycle, i get the cysts, they rupture; which causes extreme pain and then they come back, never ending, yet! But anywho, i have been kind of spotting for the last 5 days which i dont usually freak out about because i have extremely irregular periods, so im thinking im about to start my period, which i havent, so i stay prepared. Ive been getting this wet feeling in my panties as if my period is coming full force for the past few 2 days and sometimes its spotting and sometimes its really nothing at all, but today when i checked because of the wetness, my panties were just wet as though i peed on myself a lil, i dont feel like i have to pee, or like i was peeing but my panties were nearly soaked. Me and my husband have been trying to conceive and havent succeeded due to the cysts on my ovaries, could this unexpected "urine" have anything to do with my condition (pcos)? Has anybody had the same thing happen to them or have any experience with something similair?...if so i would appreciate ur advice and knowledge or story. Thank u!
P.s i would see my doctor but cant because i had issues with my insurance and wont be put back on it untill January!

5 AnswersUnited States9 years agoWhy wont my truck start again, and no, its not the battery! Please, help!?
Ok, so its snowing real bad, and i was in heavy traffic on the street, stop and go, stop and go, and so there was an enormous hold up for almost 20 minutes so i decided to turn my car off for a minute to save gas/money and when i try to turn it back on, it didnt start. the battery isnt dead because all of my lights still come on and everything, window wipers work and all! When i try to start it it seems like it wants to but doesnt, like it makes a very light short whining sound, not the sound when then the battery is almost or is dead. Anyways, maybe what im about to tell you may have something to do with why its not starting up again: I had my 4-wheel drive on the whole 2 1/2 hours i was driving my car, and btw i have a 1994 Chevy Blazer. I got it towed, i have a husband but he JUST decided to leave and seperate from me the very same day, so i feel kinda screwed. I already paid for one tow, dnt have money for another, let alone to possibly get it fixed. So please, any advice on the reason why it wont start up?....Is it because its too cold outside or what?....cause i have no idea, my truck actually has been thru colder weather than this which was about 30 degrees. Please any useful info would truely be appreciated and would obviously help! Thanks! :) .... :/

2 AnswersFamily10 years agoMy belly got a little larger over the past couple weeks and had 2 periods within 2 weeks. Could i preggers?
Ok, heres the thing. I had a a little brown spotting for 3 days two weeks ago, then about 3 days later more brown spotting which turned into brownish red blood then darker red. Almost like a period but not as heavy and not as flowing as my usual periods. And when i lie down i dont bleed at all or when im sitting. Now mind u, all my pants can fit my waist almost perfectly untill the second bleeding within the two weeks. My pants fit my thighs and everywhere else except my waist so i had to put a rubbere band thru the button and hole on my pants just so they will fit. Now the second episode of bleeding lasted almost 6 days but on and off with NO PAIN. I have been very emotional and tired lately. My tummy is obviously larger but its most likely because im a lil bloated which i dont usually get during my periid. So what could this be? Could i possibly be pregnant? If i am we will be happy parents. If not, whatever. But someone please give me some insight or outcome of a similar experience or advice. Thanks! :]

2 AnswersPregnancy1 decade agoI havent had a period in over a year and now i see pinkish brownish like spotting, could this be implantation?
Me and my husband have been trying to conceive, my doc told me a while ago that i can still conceive but we are just going to have to be constant with it...we have! But what im confused about is if im probly getting my period back or if i could be spotting OR if its something else? We first saw very light pink thin discharge after we had sex last week...it wasnt a lot of discharge, just enough to lightly cover one tissue wipe one time, then yesterday morning when i took a hot shower and i went to wash down there and i saw the same pink discharge except it was just a lil more than last time...and then last night there seemed to more and it seemed to be getting darker like a lil brownish pinkish color to it, and then this morning when i went to the use it, it was a enough discharge there for about 3 1/2 wipes and it seemed to be getting even darker, i checked a lil later this morning about 2 hrs later and there is some more...its seems to be the start of something new!..but i dont know what tho...there is enough comming out to where i feel the need to wear a pantyliner but its not EVEN CLOSE to being full with the discharge. now im just wondering if it can be implantation bleeding since we have been T.T.C. or is my body trying to start my cycle again...because i have been eating better and i have been taking my vitamins daily for about 2 weeks now. so i would just like for some of your advice or opinions or personal experiences! and btw i havent been cramping or anything lately but my breast seem bigger and i have gained 10lbs over the past 3 wks and thats not normal for me!
