Comments (16)Sunny3, It's been a long time, so perhaps the issue isn't current any more. But I think that, if I were you, I'd check out some other credit card offers, then call your company to negotiate that business of the penalty if you try to pay part of the principal off regularly. Tell them that you're unhappy with that policy, and are considering transferring your account to another carrier. Be conversant with the rules and policies, so that they know that you mean business. You'll very likely find that the rules are bendable. Be courteous. Be knowledgeable. Know what you want, and spell it out for them. Don't take their first, or even second or third "No" as final. Don't challenge their denial directly, however - it may get their back up, in which case they'll likely get stubborn. It may be a good idea at that point to start dealing with another subject - for example, if they say that you can't pay off part of principal on occasion, ask if they offer that 0% interet rate on transferred balances, etc. When they turn you down - change the subject. But get back to the original issue before long. Doing that several times drives them crazy. Be persistent. Wear 'em down, if necessary. If not - you can find a carrier that makes a better offer. Ya don't ask - ya don't get. Good wishes for finding a deal that meets your needs. joyful guy...See MoreI KNOW our Realtor thinks we're nuts!
Comments (31)You are always going to have folks who THINK new is better. It's the way they are wired. A good many of those folks are in the real estate profession. They are looking at things from the point of the bottomline. Not always the best place to measure success from. I'd start by finding a different contractor. When it comes to contractors you generally have two types the one ones who like new because it's fast and easy and it fattens their wallets with a quick turn around and the the ones who are masters and will work with you to save what they can. Generally speaking the latter is more costly but they also have the advantage of being better problem solvers and better at their craft. There seems to be a point of pride they carry which the gut and build guys just don't have. That house has character. It has a good location and if you can afford to fix it up so it maintains that charm then I'd go for it. You fell in love with it as it is. Fixed up and maintained somebody else in the future will love it just as much if not more. My biggest rule in home ownership is go with your gut. If your gut tells you it's better to save it than flatten it them do it....See More
