So, I get this call saying that they can negotiate with my CC companies to try to get me a lower interest rate. They ask what my interest rate was currently, I told them 28%. They then asked what my balance was, then calculated the approximate amount of money they can save but I would have to pay $400 for their services. They money I would say was nearly 10,000. I was pretty desparate as I know that is a high interest rate and I am struggling to make minimum payments. I did do a BBB check, nothing negative came up. Anyway, a week later a financial advisor calls me, puts me on a conference call with my CC company. He just asked the customer service rep if they can lower my interest rate. Rep says no. He then asks to speak to the Rep's supe. Well, the supe dropped it from 28.9% to 5.7%. I was going WOW. But, I wonder what he did that I could not do. I have called my CC before and spoke to a rep about lowering my interest rate and nothing happened, I never thought to ask for a supe. Do I really need to hire somone and pay that much money? $400 is a lot and he really did not do much.

You don’t have to just ride the freeways
I know, lived there and found all kind of back streets to get any and everywhere I wanted- so much easier- always listened to traffic report in the morning and made my travel accordingly. The freeways are just parking lots here, any wreck shuts them completely down for hours. Can he not go on a different route than what he travels now? I do when traveling through now.
I forgot to add that I ride the bus....every day....
My employer pays for us to ride the bus...Helping us all be "green."
Then buy a 2nd plane ticket for it to ride next to her, lol.

that i used to ride race horses,
that i've been a crime victim more than once, that i'm a descendant of Eric the Red and Leif Erickson...gosh, lots more!!
Mine are teenagers now so they don't ride a bus
but when they were little their bus driver was a member of our church. Her husband is also a bus driver and works for my husband part-time. I know there are lots of crazies out there, just don't lump "all" bus drivers in that catagory.
I visualized a horse, love to ride
and today I was given a beautiful paint gelding
Does he show the horses or trail ride?
We have horses. There's ALWAYS something you need or want. How about a gift certificate to his favorite tack store? Or something special he wouldn't buy himself for riding? There's a lot of catalogs that cater to horse owners that have some really cool gifts. LOL, one of the gifts my 12 yo neice has on her Christmas list is a gift certificate to Tractor Supply, yeah I know, you might be a redneck if . . . .
Personally, I would let it ride. Cost a man his job and reputation for a lifetime over this?
And unless you like to see your husband upset, I'd not say anything to him if I were you.
I learned at about the age of 20 how to give a look that made people shudder when they offended me. That is enough for me in situations like this which I consider a 2 on a scale of 1-10 in the sexual harrassment department.
Do you realize the resulting damage you will do if you take a 2 second event into discussion with white shirts?
My round trip commute is 30 miles. I ride the bus every day.....
It is free to employees of the hospital I work for.

Poster did not give the ride. Why can't people read something and make an
effort to understand the whole issue before spouting off?
When 2 cars ride side by side on the interstate...sm
and block traffic so nobody can pass. I will get irate over this. I don't know where people's brains are.
