How can I get my credit back on track so I can buy a house?

How can I get my credit back on track so I can buy a house?

Ok here is my story…I filed chapter 7 bankrupsey last year. My husband left me with a 3mo old special needs baby and between paying for his doctor bills and putting myself through college I was in $15,000 debt and I filed ch 7. Now I am out of college and want to get my credit back on track so I can buy a house in the next few years. I though if I got a credit card from a dept store to show that I can pay them back and establish credit that would work, but I get turned down every time I apply. My bank will not even let me have a debt card. I have a stable job now and I’m looking to settel down and get my life back on track. What steps do I need to take to get my credit back on track? Can anyone give me any advice?

Are there any countries which have fully nationalised banking?

Matt pyta:
Are there any countries which have fully nationalised banking?

I know there are countries which have nationalised oil industries (all the “terrorist” countries for example.. ;) ) but how about nationalised banking? Seems pretty clear that private individuals can’t be trusted with that much power. What can we do to encourage our governments to adopt nationalised oil and banking industries? Seems we can’t do much. But I feel so strongly that I want nothing more to do with the western world. Seems even China is moving from socialist to capitalist. So where can I go?
I’m from England. England doesn’t have nationalised banking. They have only nationalised a couple of banks as a temporary measure. I want to live somewhere that has fully and permanently nationalised banking. It’s clearly the only way forward.

How to find the optimal banking speed for a luge track?

JK pyta:
How to find the optimal banking speed for a luge track?

This is a physics problem.

Hello, I am doing this topic for my physics project. The topic is on the luge tracks. In order to find the optimal banking speed, we came up with using the formula:
tan(angle)= v^2/rg
This would require us to know the angle and the radius.
My question is: is this the correct way to find the optimal banking speed? In addition, I am convinced that there is no such thing as “optimal banking speed.”

Are the hours close to the same for Investment Banking and Public Accounting?

ChicagoMan pyta:
Are the hours close to the same for Investment Banking and Public Accounting?

I heard the hours are both long and about the same, but the pay scale is vastly more for I-banking. Should I be jumping ship to I-banking instead of public accounting?

Is there a way for credit card companies to forgive a portion of credit card debt?

chrisandniki pyta:
Is there a way for credit card companies to forgive a portion of credit card debt?

Getting rid of debt is a priority in my family. We”ve been regular with our credit card payments. A word to you younger folks: never, ever use a credit card for anything.

I was curious if there was a way for credit card companies to forgive a portion of debt if you’ve been regular with your payments.

What does charging my debit card as credit do for my credit?

Simba pyta:
What does charging my debit card as credit do for my credit?

I’m considering getting a credit card and just having it draw from my checking account, would this build credit? Alternatively, I have a debit card that occasionally gets charged as credit, and it gets paid from the checking account all the same, does this affect my credit?

I’m only 18, and my school’s economics class chose to focus on things we’ll never use instead of things everyone needs to know lol.
