Answer by jjc92787
Try to avoid loans if possible. You end up paying much more than you were given. Use grants and scholarships instead since those do not need to be paid back.

Is requesting an increase in a credit card limit treated the same as an application for new credit for FICO?

Question by MSB: Is requesting an increase in a credit card limit treated the same as an application for new credit for FICO?
I know that applying for a new card will reduce my FICO, and that increasing credit limits (while keeping debt amounts constant) will increase my score – but this would not be the case if requesting the increase in credit limit is treated as a new credit card application?

What happens to restaurants in debt that close?

Question by crazyskyblue: What happens to restaurants in debt that close?
I’ve been watching Kitchen Nightmares a lot. All the restaurants are in debt and most of them ended up closing after the show was filmed. If you Google them, you’ll see that a lot of them closed. What happens to the debt? Do the former owners still have to pay it off or do they have to file for bankruptcy? Some of them say they are a million dollars in debt. What typically happens?

Best answer:

Answer by cainvest1
Restaurant equipment is usually pledged against the loan and sold. Sometime the lease rights as well. Very high failure rate in that business so the banks usually work to protect themselves. Often time co-signers and angel investors lose it all.

Question by xearf_09: What’s the difference between finance and accounting?
Also, what should I know about finance if I chose to major in it? For accounting, I know that it’s good to have a 3.0-3.5 to get a good job. Also, that I would need 150 credit hours to sit for the CPA exam. Well what about finance? Anything important about that field I should know?

And what’s the difference in the two.

What happens when a lender is repaid an old debt long after they sold it to a collection agency?

Question by alizarinlily: What happens when a lender is repaid an old debt long after they sold it to a collection agency?
I have a bunch of negatives on my credit report and I am in a position where I can pay back my debts. I want to pay back the original lenders not only to assuage my guilt, but also to make a deal to delete my negative info. If I pay back lenders in full, what happens to the collection agencies that are on my report that “bought” the debt? Do I inform the credit agencies to investigate? Do I ask the lender to help? (Why would they want to?) Does it just go away? I’ve searched everywhere online and at the library and I can’t find the answer. Thanks in advance for your advice!!

Best answer:

Answer by SpeedyTV.com
They’ve probably already written it off if its very old.

I’d get a letter from them showing that you’ve paid. Also send whatever info you have showing payment to the collection agencies.

It takes 7 years for bad marks on your credit report to go away. Your credit report will eventually show paid with however many months/years of non-payment– I’d press them to do this but they should do it by themselves.
