Effort to freeze credit card rates dies in Senate

I have a credit card that I had prior to marriage. My husband's name is not on it. I owe more than I should on the card and today my husband was asking about what if something should happen to me, would the credit card company be able to a) hold him responsible for my debt or b) put a lien against the home we both own for my debt. If anyone knows about this would love to have an answer. Thanks. ...

I need some advice from my MT friends. My apologies in advance if you think this post is too long to read. My thanks to those who stick through it!! Some background: My parents are elderly and. about 5 years ago, they moved into a retirement community. I bought the house and have been here since that time.

I have a Visa card through Bank of America and am receiving many calls with constant offers, etc. which would of course come with a monthly fee. Last night again I received a call stating I am eligible for a $500 to $3,000 award from BOA.

I gave no information whatsoever and told the woman three times I am ...

I am going to be calling my credit card (used to be Care Credit, now is Synchrony bank). I am just wondering what y'all think. Excessive credit card interest charges. I get my statements, pay my bills, a couple times late if I don't get paid on time. No where in the statement did I see anything that would lead me to realize they were going to charge me this, and I didn't realize they did it for 2 months (my fault for not reading the statement closer) My payment ...

and answer their questions with the word "yes" (isn't it a great day today, is this Ms. so and so, etc.), you may find yourself signed up for some bogus credit protection plan or accident insurance on your next statement at a whopping monthly charge. I just spent 4 months trying to get this removed from a couple cards I have and finally had to send registered letters to every address I could find in the papers I had from each company. DON'T SAY THE WORD "YES." I just had ano ...

Buenos Aires beachgoers. Two Franciscana dolphins were ripped from the waves near an Argentinan resort last week, then manhandled to shore, where they were passed around a clutching mob seeking cute selfie moments.

Successors were already in place, even 2 chosen. Seems they have had a bit of trouble keeping successors alive long enough. King Salman is 79. King Abdullah died at 90. Long-living.
