You'll be required to put a CC on file when you register for the auction event (that's their terminology).

It wasn't until I nearly maxed out my HELOC line during a transaction that my score took a hit - like a CC line.

Confirm this with your insurance agent:Its my understanding that you should send a certified letter along with a normal letter to your neighbor asking them to take care of the tree AND CC your insurance agent.

You may be allowed to buy with as little as 3.5% down, and the rental income would offset your living cost, which would free up money to throw at cc debt.

Escrow has enough boilerplate CYA language to satisfy me, and title is basically selling me a policy with a whole lot of exceptions, however the effect if using the two, I believe, further insulates me from future claims by seller.I get any other docs, such as Equity Purchase compliance (CC 1695) statutes as separate addendums, keeping the basic "deal terms" in the single page format.

One red flag was the 97/ month charged to CC after a trial period BUT 197/month another 100 for the PRO version which WAS NOT EXPLAINED AT ALL in a brief 3 minute video.
