Need advise trying to gain full custody

Hi I am seeking full custody of my two children they are ages 16 and 14, we have a current joint custody order in place since 1999, but their father has not played an active role in their lives. He does no call, does not pay ordered child support, and frankly doesnt care. When I called him to tell him that I was going to file for full custody he said fine but I will fight you.

Old Credit Cards with New Annual Membership Fees

I have been trying to improve my credits for years now but two of my oldest credit cards namely capital one and Merrick bank both opened in 2004 are now charging me an annual membership fee of about 79 dollars yearly. The credit limit on both cards is inconveniently small and the interest rate in the 20% range.

I am so sad right now…

There is absolutely nothing I can do to boost my FICO score :(  I am being dinged for Length of History / AAoA.  Below is my profile: 3.3yrs Oldest Account 1.8yrs AAoA, which is rounded down to 1.  ( Will be 1.7 once new Amex reports ) Overall utilization 2% Highest Individuel Utilization 6% 3 Account reporting a balance ( have a total of 13 accounts ) Mix of credit is good ( 1 mortgage open, 1 auto loan open, credit and store cards open ) 1 Inquiry reporting on Equifax in last 12 months 0 Inquiry reporting on Tranunion in last 12 months All I can do is let everything age... Anyone want to add me as an AU on their Amex that was opened in 1990? :smileyvery-happy:

Rent suddenly reported as installment loan.

When I checked my credit for the first time this year today, I noticed that our management started reporting my rental agreement as an installment loan. I suddenly have a big outstanding balance, oh joy.   Then I noticed that they actually report it as my oldest trade line, which is nearly one year older than my oldest credit card.
