In my husband's family, family members send Christmas cards to other family members (parents to children, brothers and sisters to one another, etc.) even though the family always spends time together at Christmas for a meal and gift exchange. My husband and I do not know of any other family that does this. We both always understood Christmas cards were for family members one would not be seeing because they live too far away, or that Christmas cards were sent from one family to another. We do...
Cunard cancels Jacque Ewing-Taylor's transatlantic cruise and promises to reimburse her expenses. But it doesn't. How can she make Cunard do the right thing? My husband and I were booked on the Queen Mary 2 sailing from Southampton to New York earlier this year. The cruise line canceled the sailing just before our departure. A Cunard agent told us to stay on board that night and depart the following day. The cruise line gave us a form to fill out that said, “For any incurred expenses with y...

I decided to call back the next day, but when I did, I got a...

I'm attracted to my manager. He was the one who showed his interest to me first by complimenting me and making wonderful eye contact. He is single and one year younger than me. Until today he only asked me out one time and that was when a close friend of ours also attended the dinner and we had so much fun. Indeed I never gave him enough opportunity to approach closer because I was not sure if this was wise in terms of office ethics. He has a good reputation in my company for his character,...
After Elizabeth Scott opens savings accounts for her kids, Bank of America completely depletes them with an $8 monthly "maintenance" fee. Is there any hope she can recover the money? In late 2019, I opened two savings accounts for my children at Bank of America. I have held an account with BofA for over 20 years, so I was able to set them up online quickly. However, since the balance was so low on each child's account ($150), I noticed that they would be charged $8 a month as a maintenance fee....
Dollar cancels Vivian Everhart's rental when she tries to swap out an unsatisfactory car. Can she get a refund from the company, or does she have to pay for a car she couldn't use? I recently booked a rental car with Dollar through Priceline. My car did not have a front or rear license plate, so I had to bring it back to the rental location that night. The second car Dollar gave me was not the size I reserved. It was too small to accommodate my passengers. The following day, I finally got...

I am a forty-something teacher. I recently bought a house, and given that I'm a single woman, I have a huge burden to carry financially. To counter those expenses, I put out an ad for two university students. As a result, I have two twenty-something young men living with me. One of my "roommates" is pilfering things. I know he uses my facial cleanser and cotton swabs. I like to keep a store of food handy because I live in an area with ice storms, and he helps himself to my edible dry goods....
