I wrote to all our creditors recently to offer a full and final settlement figure for our debts. Most turned the offers down, but one accepted and one offered to consider us for a partial settlement. I would like to clear some of these debts, but I don't really understand the difference between the two options and I'm worried about the implications for our credit in the future. Should I just ignore the partial settlement offer or is it worth considering?

We paid off some land from my step daughter and son in law, and they told us it was ours. Now, my son in law and her are divorced and he is gone and we don't know where he is at all. How can we get the title of the land over into our names. We have paid the taxes on it for the past 6-8 years.

How can I get creditors to stop harrassing me? They are driving me insane! They keep calling multiple times a day on my cell phone, and I don't even pick up anymore... it's been almost 3 months, when are they gonna give up. If I had the money I would pay it, but I'm literally living paycheck-to-paycheck. I've tried telling them to stop calling me, but they dont listen. How can I get them to stop?

You have a Job ( Job A) where you are a receptionist and you love it, the managment over you is the best ones you've ever had! You are more of a team than manager employee. The bosses right hand. There has recently been change to the company so hopefully your facility will start making money instead of loosing it. In doing so will be cause for promotions and raises. And There is room for growth when the company can open up another position. You know it's yours, but that may not be til january or longer. The only problem is that bills are a little behind, and you don't make whole heck of a lot.

NOw, Job B... You submitted your resume to a palce where they start at 1600 a month. $500 more than you make now. The only thing is you don't know anyone at the company or how the managment is. However there is opportunity to become an escrow assistant within a year. Starting as a receptionist now. They want to interview you. But you have not yet responded to their request because you're torn.

Do you saty at JOB A?
Do you interview with JOB B on the downlow?
Do you politley decline JOB B?

What would you do?

I run a small business that caters to Truck Drivers. 97% of our business is conducted over the phone all over the U.S. Most of the time, these Truck Driver's are VERY upstanding, and show us a great deal of respect seeings how my office is 100% ran by females. Recently, we had some very outlandish behavior come from a client that was directed at my assistant. She didn't handle it well, and he continued on until it became very nasty. What I'm looking for is some "one liners" to put these guys in their place without loosing business or reputation (which is totally word of mouth). Does anyone have some ideas? REMEMBER we have to be nice!

I started a small business with $200K as a partnership, changed to a C corporation with a different person, and received $110K as a buyout when I got out of that corporation. So in long term, I lost about $90,000 and I want to find a way to file this loss if it is deductible. Tax year is 2005 and I could not file this in time since I did not have enough information about how to file as of now.
Clarification: I was the original owner who owned 50 percent or more of that corporation, and when I gave the corporation control to the other partner, no change in the business site has been made.

I read a help file online which says that you may claim the 500 maternity grant if you recieve child tax credit at a rate higher than the family element. I recieve a family element and a child element, does that count? Or is there a special child tax credit rate higher than the family rate that I don't know about?

Scenario: A person interviews for a job position and does really well. In fact, s/he does so well that s/he advanced to the third and fourth stages of the interview process. However, after the third (or fourth) interview, s/he gets rejected. The person asks the recruiter (or human resources person) why s/he was rejected, and the recruiter never really gives an honest answer. Why is that?
