[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

argh. finally got the itemization on the big home-weatherizing project. total over $15k (payment around $100/month) including $300 for loan fees and $600 for the assessment. Is that as high as it seems to me?

How much are your monthly energy bills? What's the interest rate?

My monthly power bill is usually less than $50. Interest rate is 5.99%

eta: highest heating bill i've had in this house was $68 last december, when it was really cold and i was spending a lot of time at home with the heat crank as i recovered from breaking my foot.

Is it going to included both heating and A/C? Do you need a new duct system?

I have no A/C. It covers new furnace ($5) new water heater ( $2k) blowing insulation into all the exterior walls ($3k), insulating the attic and one wall of the basement that it is not, air-sealing and caulking. I had made peace with the cost of all the improvements above, but the fees are a new source of irritation.

erin, it still sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

Does anyone have experience dealing with credit reports and deliquencies showing up on them?

I found my credit score today (not good) and got my credit reports. There's an entry on there from2007 that wasn't on there last year, it's nearly $1000 and I know what it's from and I realize now I didn't pay it. It's been turned over to collections but I've never been contacted by them.

How should I handle this? I tried to call the number listed on the report but I just got a phone system and then put on hold.
