Fairy Enchantress Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 When you get a spam email, forward it to spam@uce.gov . If you have Outlook Express, click Message, Click "Create rule for message", Click "Do not download it from Server" Then click Message, click "Block Sender"This will help get rid of the spam emails.As far as what cards to get I personally follow what the other members recommend to me personally; or what I have read from other members here.The ads you see on a web site, any web site, make money for the person who owns the web site. For instance my brother owns a wedding web site. Anyone who advertises on his site; my brother will make $5.00 per ad that is clicked, every time. It is not necessarily he approves of who advertises, although he does try to weed out the bad. I don't think this was intentional at all. Thank you for making others aware.

This site has helped me soooo much because I learned early on to review the information provided in the Obtaining Credit section as a guide to which cards to apply for and the proof is in the results:JaredKaysJBTargetHootersDillardsMacy'sZalesITunes VisaKohlsPay Pal Buyer Credit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im so disappointed because I thought this site was gonna help me..instead its a nightmare!You say you were looking for a credit card on this site but you have not told us which it was. There are no recommendations in any of the threads that would take you to such a CC type with rediculous fees. If anything, you will see us arguing over why to NOT go to certain types of cards because of their fees, such as First Premier. You also said you thought this site was going to help you, yet it sounds like you started doing things without even reading any topics or asking questions that would have helped you. Since you are fairly new and have only asked about accounts you have disputed, a judgment and this complaint, it's obvious you have not asked anyone's opinion on which cards to apply to. Your last post was even 3 weeks ago. If you would have taken the time to read some of the threads and asking questions before acting on impulse, you would have found out what credit cards we would recommend to your situation that you may have had a chance at getting. We also have stickies available under this topic showing what cards are available and the scores you need. I'm sorry but it is hard to place blame and complain about it later when you didn't take the time to research. Is it wrong for CCs to be predatory, YES. We're all here because at one time or another we made a mistake and should not be forced to continue having to pay for that mistake. Credit repair is NOT going to happen overnight although we all wish it did. Even then, if we aren't careful on our steps to getting better credit, we could end up with something we're going to regret or make our situation much worse. Everyone on this site will ALWAYS recommend 1) Start reading and SEARCH everything on this forum pertaining to your situation and what you want accomplished. Sometimes some of us make it easy and just give you the link but we can't always be there to help, you have to do it on your own sometimes. 2) ASK QUESTIONS! We're all here to help and no one is going to look down on you for asking a question. We were all in the same place one time or another. So by saying that you thought this site was going to help you ... it's a nightmare instead, you need to look at why it happened. So far there is nothing here showing that it is anyone's fault on this site. I wouldn't place blame on something when it wasn't recommended to you. You need to read, that is the only thing that will help you clear up your credit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
