What will happen if i dont activate my credit card

nickenstein — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 19:26:09 +0800

Recently a salesman came to me selling a credit card from Public Bank. After hearing the deal I decided to sign up for the card. Right after I've signed for the Public Bank Card, he took out another 4 application forms from other banks and ask me to help him to sign them. He told me that it is for him to hit his sales target and I can cancel it after I got the card and there's no annual fees charged. So, without thinking much i signed the other papers too.

After a few weeks, those cards are mailed to me. Now I thinking not to activate them, will there be any bad consequences?

The credit cards that I've signed are as follow:

1. Public Bank
2. Alliance Bank
3. Standard Charted
4. Hong Leong Bank

Any helps are much appreciated.

P/S: Currently I'm using CIMB Credit Card.

how to start as a freelancer?

nickenstein — Fri, 02 Feb 2007 16:45:38 +0800

Hi everyone,

recently I've quitted my job and now I'm looking for a new job.

So, in the meantime I'm working as a freelance programmer, writing a program for a company.

So, how do I start as a freelance?
- Is there any legal issues to deal with?
- how do I charge my client? Using a contract or invoice?
- do I need a comapny name register?
