Exxon/mobil and 41% profits. Obviously the government and oil companies are in bed together and no one is watching out for the consumer. I hope that a significant revolution taks place instead of the stupid wall street demonstrations that are netting most americans absolutely nothing. Wake up America and smell the crap we are being fed by Democrats and Republicans.
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Exxon Mobil Corp. said Monday that its fourth-quarter profit rose 53% to top $9 billion, marking the oil major’s richest results since the third quarter of 2008 as it benefited from higher crude-oil prices.

I’m sure that many are happy about this news. Personally it just tells me that we should not be paying what we are for gasoline or fuel oil.
I have noticed that we are getting well saturated in half truths and absolute lies that when repeated often enough become truth. Remember the ozone scare, the blame game with the Exxon Valdez oil spill, “humankind-caused global warmingâ€, the BP oil spill, which on later reflection wasn’t as big as the PEMEX spill of 1979, and the dozens of other disasters from which a small group of people became very wealthy. Now that we can’t find the oil from the so-called BP spill that “destroyed all the Gulf Coast environments for years to comeâ€, and we are finding out that the rig that failed was owned by Transocean, staffed by Halliburton with safety procedures approved by a government agency staffed with those who may not have been as technically competent as they should have been with the blow-out preventer that failed built by still another firm.
But the media and Congress seem unconcerned with truth when they have a deep pocket to expose for the legal vultures that now infest our country and feed on every disaster.
Thank you for all of the amazing information here on the boards. I am becoming more confident in my ability to climb up the ladder…

My current TU is 597, EQ 615, and EX is 603 (FCR.com score)

I have a few accounts in collection that I am paying and last year had a 120 late on the mortgage, but was able to get and keep that current. My wife and I earn a very good salary, but with everything that has happened, are struggling to get past it all.
Â
My question is what should I do to establish new credit accounts? I travel every week for work, I pay via my debit card and I have a BofA card that is maxed but if I pay down anymore (I paid 4k down on it this year) BofA will reduce the CL more as they did every time I made a dent in the debt…
Â
So… is Orchard the right move? First Pemier? What exacatly would I need to do to get into the Capital One credit steps program (I have been getting Cap One pre-approval offers like crazy)? I was thinking of a NFCU secured card or USAA as I am full members of both, but I have read secured cards report out as such and therefore are not as helpful, is this really true?
Â
I plan on GW’ing a couple 30 days from Citi for my Exxon and Home Depot cards for what its worth as well as follow up on the PIF’s with a delete request….

Thanks for any and all advice!
I have some late charges on my credit report from Exxon Mobil and Victoria’s Secret. I’ve tried searching for contact info such as e-mail addresses or fax numbers for these accounts but have been unsuccessful. Has anyone had luck with these companies? If so, can you please help me out with information?
Thanks.
