Business & Finance - 24 August 2006

I just got the letter from their lawyers stating that might come after me and take me to court. It is an old SBC bill for $2800.00 from back in 2003, what happens if they sue me? What does a judgement against me mean? Do I have to go to court? How bad is this really? If they get a judgement against me can they garnish my wages for that money? I am so confused.....

Usually I throw out all the credit card offers I get in the mail, but I received one this week that is kind of different. It's visa card where they send you a dell laptop for signing up. Here are the strings:

You must transfer over $5000 and maintain a minimum balance of $3500 for 18 months.

I'm thinking of getting it because I have roughly $5000 in credit card debt, I probably wouldn't be able to pay it off in 18 months any way. So why not get a laptop rather than pay my current cards interest and get nothing?

I'm pretty sure the interest rate is variable (like what I got now), but I think it's connected to the prime rate.

Has anyone taken this offer? How has it worked out for you?

I have been working with the family business going on 7 years. Things have changed over time and I'm growing increasingly unhappy. The pay is great and comes with other perks of being a family member, but I don't agree with a lot of things that go on and I have very little or no input and each day I grow more and more dissatisfied. Unfortunately I have a wife and child to worry about, and a potential family problem. What would you do?

My friend has just been offered a job where it requires him to work 6 days a week, from 4am till noon and he'll get a gross wage of £1300 a month. They said he'll get 3 weeks holiday a year, and he has got to work Good Friday, but other than this he gets Bank Holidays off.
Can someone tell me if this is legal bearing in mind it's a 6 day week with a start time of 4 am, and such a poor wage. I'm certain that the employer would be taking advantage.

I met with several different people (within the same company) regarding a job position and I am wondering who i should address it to. Do I just make three separate thank you letters? Sadly, I can only remember two of their names.

I lone work in an advice centre for a charity. There is no public access to the centre unless I open the front door However there is an alleyway between the buildings, this leads to the back yard and back door. The 6ft high gate's lock is broken, I have reported it for repair but nothing's been done about it. The toilet is outside and when I go I cannot lock the back door from outside so I have to leave it open. When I went to the loo last week somebody walked in and took my new Nokia N80, to replace it would cost £295, my work say their insurance does not cover personal items. Do I have any come back on them considering the thesefacts?

Lone Working
Broken Lock
Unable to lock door when outside
No locker provided
Outside toilet
