Probably, I wouldn't try it though!

Yes I do. First thing is take your credit card and hide it somewhere that you would have to break something you like open in order to get access to it. For example, your makeup compact that costs a lot. Hide your credit card in there and make sure the only way you can get it is if you break your compact open. This way everytime you are tempted to spend, you wont want to because you wont want to break your compact. Also when food shopping get coupons and look for bigger packages with speacial deals. A few penny's here and there makes a huge difference. Lastly, every paycheck you get set aside $50, even when you owe bills. This will help you out in the long run and remember only get what you need because what you dont have you dont need at all.

Too many cards will hurt your credit rating.  They look at your available limits (i.e. what you could borrow); if it's too high, the rating is lower.\n\nThey look at payment history.  Just have one or two cards, use them for purchases, and pay them off regularly.  That will build your credit history and resultant credit rating.

Unless the tenant did something that directly caused the failure, it is normal wear and tear. Heaters on dryers fail. That is not the tenants fault. Oven buttons fail. That is not the tenants fault. It is not up to the tenant to repair failures not caused by them. Any attempt by you to get them to pay would be inappropriate. With holding their deposit for these issues would probably be illegal.

No.\n\n\nUnless you put them in the dryer too. But then they might get warped.

Depends what "wet" it. If the liquid had particles in it, it could cause connections to form on the circuit boards and you will get a short. In any case, if it's used or cheap, open the case, dry with a hair dryer on low or no heat. Plug it in and wait for the moment of truth. Power up. If it's an expensive laptop, take it to a professional. He may be able to replace damaged components before they short out. Most likely you will pay $100 and up for a competent tech to service it, plus parts.

If you don't pay off your credit card, the debt will be turned over to a collection agency.  It will stay on your credit report as a bad debt until it is rectified.  In extreme cases companies have been known to file a lien against an individual and their assets. (It does not go to a "credit bureau")

Yes. I even washed my husband clothes,hung them on a line in the winter until the water quit dripping from them then brought them in, put on a hanger and hung infront of a  heater so they'd be dry for him the next day for work. It's called roughing it.

Take away its credit card

This usually happens when there is dust between the card and the slot.\n\nAnother reason could be that the card is not fitted properly. Remove it from the slot and reinsert it back.

no. there is absolutely no way that can damage your credit. In fact, I think you just discovered the one thing that CAN'T damage your credit. what you do is just normal consumer actions. everyone does it and other than making sure you're credited back your purchase amount, there's no way it can do any damage.

make sure whatever you wash it with doesn't get between the chip and the card.\n\nCoke may dissolve whatever kind of glue holds it on.

Probably not, but here is what I do..when I get credit card stuff in the mail, I take my name off it, stuff and the crap back in the return envelope and send it to the company, they have to pay the postage on it. A minor victory for us small guys...ha ha...

probably not, but you can try.  wash it again in lukewarm water and use a lot of fabric softener. while it is still wet, start trying to stretch it, gently.  see how far you can gradually stretch it without pulling it completely out of shape, and then air dry flat.

That depends on the credit card!

Can hurt as every time you open or attempt to open a credit card there is a hit on your credit record and too many hits can be a bad thing.  I've also heard that constant rolling of credit doesn't look too good to prospective lenders as it gives a shady connotation to your ability to pay what you owe.
