Having recently gone thru hell and having some major changes in income(loss of child support-which of itself was no concern, but now paying out child support...), I called Capital One to see what I could do about preserving my good credit.

I questioned about the ad on TV and the 4% APR vs. the 12+% that I was paying. "Well no", they tell me, "That's for solicitation purposes only". Well ya know, I'm soliciting! Ha. I tell them to look at my record and see that I always make my payments on time, and I don't want to ruin my credit, please help me.

What they ended up doing was changing my due date to a time more suitable for me, and allowed me to make my payment that month late without charging me the fees. Ok, that's a help. It was December, and Christmas and all...

I make my payments...Then in February I get a notice that they are now going to start charging anyone with a balance over $400 a monthly fee. Oh really? I know 2 other people with Cap1 Cards...I call my sis, I call my friend, gee, they didn't get notice!

Yup...I closed my account. Balance transferred to a different card. Lower payment, lower APR. Yah, I know, will probably pay more in the long run, but Cap1 will get no more of my money.

Father's Issues / RE: So What Is Enough?

I so feel for you. Only...I'm the NCP mom.

For 2 years I fought to get my son help which his dad refused to give consent on. Finally, he was diagnosed ADHD amongst other things. He very much mimics his dad in regards to disrespect for women, not only me, but teachers etc, as well. With med  and dose adjustments, my son was doing great. Dad said, "He doesn't need professional help, he needs to come live with ME!"

Well he got his wish. Because Dad could better CONTROL my son and (cough cough choke) had NO problems with my son either at home or at school, he got custody. The minute he did, he was off his meds, and no more Mobile Therapist. In 3 months, I've received reports of failing grades and 3 detentions, with another write-up having been received just Saturday. The next write up results in suspension. (9 years old)

(My son had not been in ANY trouble at school this year prior to having been taken off his meds.  Is this enough to get 50/50 custody back? Probably not.  Am I going to fight for it? YOU BET I AM!!! DON'T GIVE UP!!!

From somebody who knows, you very well can have that child yanked out of your arms.

IMHO, get yourself a different lawyer....NOW!

Is this a court appointed lawyer for family issues?
