It doesn't run, you don't have the money to fix it, and nobody in their right mind would want to buy it. The next door neighbor is starting to give you dirty looks, and you're pretty sure a family of field mice is considering moving in. What can you do to get rid of this thing?

Don't keep hating it. Instead, consider donating it! There are several worthy charitable organizations that can benefit from your vehicular contribution. Most will come and haul off your old clunker, running or not. They will also gladly accept good condition, running cars, if you are feeling particularly generous. Following are some examples of charities in the Tucson area who would be happy to help you have more parking space.

Sure, you've heard of the Salvation Army. At Christmastime you see the smiling faces behind the bright red kettles, bells a-jingling. Maybe you've picked up a lava lamp or groovy pair of bell bottoms and one of their thrift stores. But do you know what a difference your donation makes?

The Salvation Army provides a plethora of services. Drug and alcohol rehabilitation is offered to folks who have nowhere else to turn. Church services are performed for the homeless and destitute. Social services, youth and elderly programs, and emergency and disaster relief are other support efforts the Salvation Army imparts upon the community.

faults and poor credit accounts here and there. More fees for them! Your bank might like to see one of their client's earmarked as 'poor credit'…they can raise your interest rate and you can't do anything about it.

These days, having poor credit isn't necessarily as poor as it should be. This is because banks are business entities too. Banks borrow money just like people do. In times of relatively low interest rates, banks need to make money by originating loans. And, a lot of new 'subprime' lenders have opened up shop in recent years and are specifically in the business of lending to people with poor credit. They are looking to refinance poor credit accounts like yours and collect massive fees on the backend.

Many people with poor credit history look to take out loans from friends and family. While this may be a fairly good short term solution, it might not be the smartest of long term business moves. What you need to do is refinance your mortgage and lower your payment. The best thing you can do for yourself is to shop around. I'd be willing to bet that some banks will give you a better deal on a mortgage refinancing than you think they would. Find out who's got the best rate to get the best deal on your loan. This might take a little legwork, but it could pay off. Finding that right bank to give you the right deal on your refinancing will be worth the effort.

Mortgage can last a lifetime and that extra 1% can add up to literally thousands of dollars over the years. I have friends that are in their 70s and still paying off their home loans. It'll pay off in the long run to make sure you find the best deal possible. Don't let poor credit stop you from refinancing your home.
