I have bad credit… or none, i cant get approved for anything else and dont understand all the red tape! HELP! does anyone have this card? THE ORCHARD BANK CREDIT CARD

200 min security deposit
35 dollar annual fee

Variable Rate Information Your APRs may vary. The rates are determined monthly by adding the Index (described below) and:

6.65% (”Spread”) for the Customary APR for credit card purchases.
16.90% (”Spread”) for the Cash APR for cash advances, including balance transfers, if applicable, and cash advances made by credit card check.
22.24% (”Spread”) for the Default APR.
For each billing cycle, the Index is determined in the month prior to the month in which the billing cycle ends. In that prior month, the highest (U.S.) “Prime Rate” published in the Money Rates Table of The Wall Street Journal is selected (the “Index”). If the Index has changed, the new variable rates will take effect with the billing cycle that ends on or after the first day of the month following the Index change.
Grace Period for Repayment of Balances for Purchases You have 25 days from the date of the periodic statement to avoid a Finance Charge on new credit card purchases, provided you paid your previous balance in full.
Method of Computing Balance for Purchases Average Daily Balance (including new purchases).
Annual Fee $35 per year
Minimum Finance Charge $1.00 for each billing cycle in which a Periodic Finance Charge is payable.
Foreign Transaction Fee Finance Charge 1% of the U.S. dollar amount will apply to transactions made in a foreign currency.

Cash Advance Fee:$5 or 5% on all cash advances, whichever is greater; unless otherwise disclosed. Finance Charges accrue from the date of transaction. Cash advances will be limited. Your cash advance limit is disclosed on your billing statement. Late Payment Fee: The Late Payment Fee will vary based on the amount of your outstanding balance on your Payment Due Date, and will be: $30 if your balance is more than $0 up to and including $1000; or $35 if your balance is greater than $1000. Overlimit Fee: $30. Accessing the full amount or most of your available credit may result in an overlimit fee. Credit Limit Increase (CLI) Fee: If requested and approved, a CLI fee of up to $50% of the CLI may be charged to your Account, depending on your creditworthiness. Closed Account Service Fee: $3.50 per month on closed accounts with a debit balance.

The variable Customary APR will apply to credit card purchases.
The variable Cash APR will apply to cash advances, including balance transfers, if available, and cash advances made by credit card check.
If at any time your Account is subject to the Customary and/or Cash APRs, and you fail to make at least your Minimum Payment in time to be credited to your Account by the Payment Due Date, or your Account exceeds your credit limit, your entire Account balance will increase to the Default APR.
Note: The Orchard Bank Secured MasterCard requires a minimum deposit of $200 for a minimum $200 line of credit. For more information on the Orchard Bank Secured MasterCard, see our Secured Card FAQs.

At our discretion, payments are generally applied to interest, fees, and then principal balances. We apply your payments to lower APR balances before higher APR balances. The application of payments is subject to change at any time, without notice.

INTEREST RATES AND FINANCE CHARGES

Interest Rates
The APRs on your Account are variable rates and are determined by adding a specified amount (”Spread”) to an Index (described below). The APR is divided by 365 and rounded to the next highest hundred thousandth of a percentage point to determine your Daily Periodic Rate. The Daily Periodic Rate is used to determine the amount of Periodic Finance Charges (see Finance Charges).

Monthly Index For each billing cycle, the Index is determined in the month prior to the month in which the billing cycle ends. In that prior month, the highest (U.S.) “Prime Rate” published in the Money Rates table of The Wall Street Journal is selected (the “Index”). If the Index has changed, the new variable rates will take effect with the billing cycle that ends on or after the first day of the month following the Index change.

An increase in the Index will increase your applicable Daily Periodic Rates which may increase the Finance Charge due on your Account and may increase the Minimum Payment and Current Payment Due. Each time any APR changes, we will apply it to any existing balances, excluding any fixed rate Promotional or Introductory APR.

Purchase APR Your variable Customary APR applies to credit card purchases. The Daily Periodic Rate is based on 1/365th of the Index plus 6.65% (”Spread”). For example, for billing cycles ending 5/17/07, the rate of FINANCE CHARGE would have been a Daily Periodic Rate of .04082% (corresponding 14.90% ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE). The minimum rate of FINANCE CHARGE is a Daily Periodic Rate of .04082% (corresponding 14.90% ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE).

Cash APR Your variable Cash APR applies to cash advances, including balance transfers, if available, and cash advances made by credit card check. The Daily Periodic Rate is based on 1/365th of the Index plus 16.90% (”Spread”). For example, for billing cycles ending 5/17/07, the rate of FINANCE CHARGE would have been a Daily Periodic Rate of .06890% (corresponding 25.15% ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE). The minimum rate of FINANCE CHARGE is a Daily Periodic Rate of .05726% (corresponding 20.90% ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE).

If at any time your Account is subject to the Customary and/or Cash APRs, and you fail to make at least your Minimum Payment in time to be credited to your Account by the Payment Due Date, or your Account exceeds your credit limit, your entire Account balance will increase to the variable Default APR. At our discretion, your Account may return to the Customary APR after five consecutive months of on-time payments of at least the Current Payment Due, without exceeding your credit limit.

Default APR The Daily Periodic Rate for the variable Default APR is based on 1/365th of the Index plus 22.24% (”Spread”). For example, for billing cycles ending 5/17/07, the rate of FINANCE CHARGE would have been a Daily Periodic Rate of .08353% (corresponding 30.49% ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE). The minimum rate of FINANCE CHARGE is a Daily Periodic Rate of .08079% (corresponding 29.49% ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE).

Finance Charges

Finance Charges are the total of the greater of (a) Minimum Finance Charge, or (b) periodic Finance Charges, and any applicable (c) Cash Advance Fee Finance Charges, (d) Foreign Transaction Fee Finance Charge, (e) Credit Limit Increase Fee Finance Charge, (f) Closed Account Service Fee Finance Charges, and (g) Processing Fee Finance Charge.

(a) Minimum Finance Charge. A Finance Charge that is assessed in lieu of a lesser periodic Finance Charge in any billing cycle in which a periodic Finance Charge is payable. This fee is $1.00.
(b) Periodic Finance Charges. Periodic Finance Charges are computed by multiplying the Average Daily Balance for each category of transactions shown on your statement (e.g., purchases, balance transfers, cash advances) by the applicable Daily Periodic Rate and then multiplying the result by the number of days in the billing cycle. To calculate the Daily Balances, we take the beginning debit balance for each category of transactions each day, add any new transactions, any previous day’s periodic Finance Charges, any assessed fees and charges, and subtract any payments and/or credits. If a debit transaction posts after the beginning of your billing cycle, but the transaction occurred prior to the beginning of your billing cycle, the applicable Daily Balance will be adjusted to include the transaction amount and any previous day’s periodic Finance Charges for each day the transaction amount was outstanding prior to the beginning of the current billing cycle. Then, for each transaction category, we add the Daily Balances for the billing cycle together and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This is the Average Daily Balance for each transaction category. (1) Credit Card Purchases. Periodic Finance Charges begin to accrue on the date of the transaction and continue to accrue until payment in full is credited to your Account. However, there is a 25 day Grace Period on new credit card purchases. That means, if the New Balance shown on your last statement is paid in full by the Payment Due Date for that statement, periodic Finance Charges will not be imposed on new credit card purchases, provided the New Balance for the current billing cycle is paid in full by the Payment Due Date for that billing cycle. If, however, the New Balance is not paid in full by the Payment Due Date for the immediately preceding billing cycle, periodic Finance Charges will be incurred on new credit card purchases (i.e., purchases appearing for the first time in the current cycle) from the date of the transaction and on the previously billed but unpaid credit card purchases form the first day of the current cycle.
(2) Cash Advances (including balance transfer and credit card checks). Periodic Finance Charges begin to accrue on the date of the transaction and continue to accrue until payment in full is credited to your Account. There is no Grace Period on cash advances.
Periodic Finance Charges will be calculated using the Daily Periodic Rate in effect on the statement closing date.
(c) Cash Advance Fee Finance Charges. Cash advances include all advances to get cash over the counter, through an ATM, balance transfers (if available), credit card checks, or other “cash-like” transactions (such as purchasing a money order, traveler’s check, casino or betting chip, or a lottery ticket) as determined by us. A Finance Charge will be computed on the amount of each cash advance as of the date of the transaction. The Cash Advance Fee FINANCE CHARGE for all cash advances is 5%, subject to a minimum FINANCE CHARGE of $5, unless otherwise disclosed.
(d) Foreign Transaction Fee Finance Charge. A Foreign Transaction Fee FINANCE CHARGE equal to 1% of the U.S. dollar amount is assessed on transactions made in a foreign currency, as of the transaction date.
(e) Credit Limit Increase Fee Finance Charge. If you request and are approved for a credit limit increase (”CLI”), a CLI Fee FINANCE CHARGE of up to 50% of the CLI may be assessed to your Account, depending on your creditworthiness.
(f) Closed Account Service Fee Finance Charge. A $3.50 per month FINANCE CHARGE is assessed to the Account for each billing cycle whenever that Account is closed with a debit balance.

The application of any Finance Charge other than a periodic Finance Charge may cause the APR on the billing statement on which this Finance Charge first appears to exceed the Nominal APR.

ACCOUNT FEES

Annual Fee/Periodic Membership Fee

Default on payday loan

motokarma asked:


I dont know if this is the best place to ask this, but its the closest I could find to a legal system.

Verizon has recently told me that if I cancel my home phone and keep only my internet service with them then they will no longer be able to send me a paper bill. Instead, I would have to set up a credit card only payment with them. NOT a debit card. But only a credit card.

Frankly this is absurd. I have recently gotten around this by ordering their Cable TV service. Oddly enough, NOW they can send me a paper bill again.

My question is…is this legal. And more importantly, how do they get around the CASH issue. It is my understanding that money issued by the Federal Govt is “Legal tender for all debts, public and private”. So, is it legal for an American company to sell a service to an American living in America and to tell me that they wont accept Federal currency?

Thanks in advance.

I have a credit card by the way, I just dont like to use it. Esp not for Verizon.
Lets get this straight, I dont send cash in the mail. I almost always pay with a debit or credit card for everything I buy. My point was a company telling me that if I wanted to cancel a certain type of service then I could no longer pay with a debit card as I had been doing, but I HAD to use a credit card. Which got me to thinking about the cash aspect of this. I thought cash could be used for everything. I would like to thank everyone who sent in a usefull answer.

Payday Loan

metrodademom asked:


I issued a check to an individual who was going to do a service for me. Minutes after he took off with me check i changed my mind and put a stop payment on the check. There was no contract signed or any work done at all. I only made for my protection a receipt for the check i was giving him as an advance deposit for the work he was going to do for me. He has no license to do the work either. I called him right away to tell him not to cash the check but he said he already did. Now a few days after he tells me that because of my stop payment his bank froze his account and apparently he wants to take me to court because the freeze caused his account to overdraft for 144 dollars . I offered to pay his 144 just to leave me alone. Can a bank freeze an account because of a stop payment? why would his account overdraft because of this? Can he take me to small claims court for damages in his account?a\

nd asked:


I have booked a 1 BHK flat flat of 748 S.Ft. @ 3500 Rs /SFt in a under construction building near Kandivali station, high way touch next to Kandivali Big Bazaar.

The complete price is 28 lakhs .I have done advance payment of Rs 11 lakhs on 27-7-07, against flat allotment letter. (3lakhs by cheque + 8 lakhs by cash)

At that time builder told us he is going to do agreement with in next 3 months. But till today its not been done due to pending building municipal approval as per builder. In this 1.5 year span he has completed only the basement work.

Few days back from my contacts I got the confirm news that builder is now planning to construct a commercial building in place of my residential building.

My agent told me to do a meeting with builder asks him to do “BUY BACK” for my flat. Please let me know what rate should I ask from builder?

Its more than 1.5 year. If he had stated the construction at that time, by this time my flat was in my hand.

I am planning to ask builder to do the BUY BACK for 7000 Rs/S.ft. Is it right???
In that case I will get doubly money. This is the current rate in that area.

Please let me know if builder say no to BUY BACK as per my demand than what are my chances. Any legal way? Please help.
