Come up and chat and trade business cards today.

If I were to gamble I'd play black-jack, at least I can count cards!

Your goal is not to simply collect business cards, rather collect conversations then business cards.

[/b]The site is outstanding for doing criminal background checks as nearly every state is available on the site.If you have a License Plate number (easily obtained on an expired insurance card or declarations page that is left behind in an abandoned house), add the following states to the ones above:[b]Colorado, Maine, North Carolina, South Dakota, Oregon, Tennessee, West Virginia and Utah.This link was sent to me by the site owner to use as a referral.

@Matt Good  that's what the unsecured lines are for.. not to just establish them and never use them.and if they are with your local commercial banks here in Oregon like mine are.. then they don't show on your fico.. so there is no worry of hammering your fico ... unlike those that espouse using credit cards to raise capital then max them out.. that strategy will absolutely hammer your fico and is very dangerous. 

If they want money up front, figure a small amount (like a few hundred dollars) to cover initial minor expenses, and definitely put it on a credit card or as a second choice, Pay Pal. 

I would go to your local store and ask for a color card.

Made a huge dent in my credit card debt and its 3/4 of the way done paying it off :) Hopefully I can bring it up to good status in the high 600's by the end of this year or higher.

Dispute the credit card etc.Second yes find a new, recommended contractor in the area. licensed, etc.

I was told to call my credit card companies and get them to up my limit.
