Sue Sue Force
Members of the Vintage East Condominium Association in Miami Beach got tired of waiting for JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) to foreclose on unit 9, so they sued the bank in February to take control of the property.
In June, more than four years after the owner stopped making payments, a judge ruled that JPMorgan lost its claim to the $144,000 mortgage. The apartment is now on the market for $87,500, and the association may stave off insolvency with proceeds from the sale and a new owner who pays monthly dues, said Jane Losson, a board member at the complex.

Act Card Act
It appears that the CARD Act is making a difference—at least, on college campuses where the law prohibits credit card and bank marketers from soliciting to students. The Federal Reserve recently reported a 17% drop in the number of credit cards issued by banks via college campuses and alumni associations.
That’s definitely progress. But there’s another huge gathering place for millions of college students, where the CARD Act has no jurisdiction, and where some banks and card companies are setting up virtual booths to attract young adults: Facebook. It ma

Card Credit Card
The National Small Business Association will soon reveal statistics that show small business owners are using their credit cards more often despite being unable to pay down their balance every month as they had in the past, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal. Over the last two years, many small business owners have seen their debt balloon into the range between $10,000 and $25,000 while fewer carried less than $10,000 in debt.
Between June and December 2010, the number of small business owners who paid off their total balance every month dipped from 56 to 54 percent, while the amount of those with a balance of less than $10,000 on their account declined to 21 percent from 23 percent, the report said.

Eye Surgery Surgery
Nearly five years ago, I considered Lasik eye surgery but I never pulled the trigger. It wasnt that I was afraid or concerned, I was just used to contact lenses, they didnt bother me, and I felt like I didnt need to fix something that wasnt broken.
Fast forward to this year and my contacts are becoming less and less comfortable. On several occasions my eyes have been really bothered by them to the point I keep them out most of the day when Im working from home. The only times I put them in are when I play sports and when we go out, its just more convenient.
The most common concern when it comes to Lasik is the price.
