I have a recurring $30 charge on my credit card that I can’t figure out what it’s related to. The vendor name gives me nothing helpful and going back through emails, I don’t know what it might be - I’m not getting an invoice. It may very well be valid, but at this I just want to stop it and figure out what subscription lapses. How can I do that?

Call the credit card company

Yeah literally just tell them idk what this is - they will have more details and if you still don't then dispute it - if it is legitimate - the vendor will supply proof where you signed up for the charge

Call your CC company and ask for a replacement card with a new number and see who starts calling or emailing to update your account.

I disputed a recurring charge for my dad yesterday. They are sending a new card to him this week and the charges are being investigated and most likely will be disputed.

I figured it out. CC gave me a phone number.

Definitely a porn subscription. They always bill under a generic name.
Or so I’m told, by a friend ;)

You work for Accenture and worried about a 30 dollar credit card charge? Go dog sit for an hour. You will make more money than $30 and it will take you less time.

No one in the history of the world has been on a call with a credit card company for 5 mins. Generally you will wait on hold for at least 30 mins and then you have to explain it, provide substantiation, and then there will be follow up.

Disputing a $30 charge for someone that works in professional services and probably grosses well into 6 figures is a monumental waste of time

I usually put subscriptions that I’m trialing on a temp digital card (e.g. privacy.com) just in case I forget to cancel them or they change their subscription fee on me and I don’t notice. Felt good to give a middle finger to WSJ which kept trying to force me to call in in order to cancel

The alternative is to stop buying S&P 500 and start buying other markets as separate ETFs, to eventually bring in line approx. with total stock market index. Any advice on the best course of action?

Worst part is, dealers are sitting around and have got nasty at my sister and I when they’ve been trying to milk us.

Is this even legal? Any alternatives options are appreciated

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
