Bugamol posted:What options do I have in California trying to get rid of a 2003 Ford Focus with ~100k miles on it. It needs new tires, brakes, the check engine light is on, and it recently died on me while driving on the freeway (battery light issue). The thing is only worth about ~$2,000-$3,000 in working condition and we don't need two cars so I'd rather just get rid of it, but not sure what my options are with the check engine light on. You can definitely sell it to a junkyard/pick n pull or actual scrap yard. They won't pay much, but if you can drive it there you'll get something, maybe a couple hundred bucks. You could also donate it like spwrozek said.

Dogfish posted:I've never understood the appeal of giving the government an interest-free loan of your money, but I have a friend who hides ten-dollar bills in the pockets of rarely-worn jackets to give herself the treat of finding an unexpected small windfall and I guess it's the same basic idea. Personally, I just don't like the idea of "having" to come up with the money. I'd be easily able to carry it out of savings (whether e fund or discretionary savings) but it's nice to know I won't have to cover the shortfall, even if I lose a couple bips or even full points on that money. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My income has varied enough in the last few years that it isn't super easy for me to estimate accurately what exactly I will owe for the full year ahead of time though.

pig slut lisa posted:Honest mistake? Scam? Who knows! Good reminder of the importance of recordkeeping, in any event. I had a landlord that tried to pull this with the utility bills every once in awhile. Boy was it great sending them the copy of the cashed checks that US Bank kept on file. They all had nice big endorsement stamps on the back. Dude was a loving scumbag.

oliveoil posted:Is there anything special I need to do to form an LLC and give it some money to start with? IANAL, but you can find draft LLC docs on the internet (you'll probably get what you pay for to a certain extent). You will likely need an EIN to open a bank account, but the good news is you can do it online via the IRS for free and it's relatively easy. Keep good records of cash in and out, I liked GoDaddy bookkeeping when I was doing sole prop stuff, but there are a ton of options out there for tracking receipts and expenses.

Hoodwinker posted:I'm looking on their website and nothing jumps out at me but I was planning to do a little digging here before I toss my money over the wall in the next few days. It's just a cash sweep account, the Bank I work for offers one. The transit time may offer a little tiny bit of risk, but they should be sweeping everyday. I wouldn't be worried about it since they're sweeping to FDIC insured FIs.

Sub Rosa posted:I'm effected by the Equifax breach, and I'm trying to figure out whether to go for the much less than $125 check or the credit monitoring. Most people seem to advise the credit monitoring is a better deal, but is it? I sort of feel like between credit monitoring I get for free from some of my credit cards plus websites like Credit Karma and Credit Sesame I'm not sure what value another credit monitoring service would have for me that is more than a check for $0.01. Just freeze all three credit bureaus, credit monitoring is a dumb service when you can entirely lock down your credit report.

BAE OF PIGS posted:An update along with a question. My last day was on Friday, and I went out for drinks with some regional managers along with a couple other location managers. I told them I wasn't having the best of luck finding anything in our industry except for an entry level gig at one of our competitors, and one of the regional managers said, "I don't know why I didn't think about this earlier, but are you willing to travel? Or work in IT?" I said I was, and he got up and made some calls. He didn't get a hold of anyone, but he must have talked to someone over the weekend. This morning I was cc'd on this email to the director of IT. Definitely follow up, congrats on doing a networking!

Go read the YLLS beginner thread, it’s really good and will provide a great starting place if you wanna lose weight, you probably don’t need a personal trainer.

Happiness Commando posted:Both Transunion and Experian tell me I have to call them up to get my credit report and they said that last year too and I just skipped it because it seemed super annoying but I probably shouldn't let it go this time... Yea I have to mail them poo poo I guess, probably because I was an authorized user on an account of my Dad's and he died last year so I'm sure its causing them to lose their poo poo.

Marcus is at 1.55% right now, we’ll see how long Goldman’s largesse lasts.

big cummers ONLY posted:My gently caress-up stepbrother used my name and number as a reference for a payday loan without my consent and now they are calling me daily looking for him. Do I have any recourse or is this just my life now? Its been a hot minute since I've really needed to be aware of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) but they shouldn't be hitting you up that frequently. Take a look at this and google around for a little more info, https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/debt-collection-faqs Ask them to stop calling if you haven't already, and then send them a letter requesting the same thing via certified mail with proof of delivery. Or you could just block their phone number I guess.

They shouldn't. Any credit history based verification systems may be messed up, but you shouldn't need to jump through those hoops to do that.
