Am I crazy or is it totally not worth buying a used car in this market?

My Grandparents gave me a check and now my bank thinks I'm committing fraud

So as the title says, for my grandparents 70th anniversary they decided to give each of their grandchildren 30k. This was on Sunday and since I wanted to make sure I wasn't walking around with those checks and I went to deposit it immediately through the ATM. In retrospect I realize that was not a great idea.

My credit score dropped 30 points because I have "no loan activity." If I continue to not have "loan activity" will my score keep dropping?

Damn. I went from 820 to 790. I know that's still good, but I was proud of my credit score being above 800.

My (24) Dad (58) passed away unexpectedly. My brother (22) and i are having trouble finding all his assets

Is Bankcard a scam?

On this website and other consumer protection websites, we were able to locate over 40 complaints about BankCard USA from the last three years, many of which accused BankCard USA of being a scam or ripoff. Merchant complaints generally cited undisclosed fees, unauthorized debiting, and difficulty reaching customer service representatives. A significant number of complainants expressed frustration with the company’s policy of placing holds on suspiciously large transaction amounts. This is a common policy designed to protect merchant account providers from high-risk transactions. While it isn’t especially unethical to withhold funds in this manner, it appears that BankCard USA does a poor job of communicating its policies to high-risk merchants both before and during service.

Does Bankcard USA charge a fee for a termination?

A company representative has informed us that BankCard USA no longer charges a termination fee on all accounts. The company only charges merchants a $99 termination fee if they have received free equipment upon account activation, and BankCard USA waives this fee if the equipment is returned or if the merchant remains with the company for over a year. This is preferable to a long-term contract with a built-in termination fee, but it appears to be a fairly recent change for the company. BankCard USA also appears to allow its independent agents to set their own lease terms and rates, so the specific terms of the standard BankCard USA contract may vary depending on the agent servicing the account as well as the merchant’s business type, size, and time in business.
