I would pay for college, buy my car, and put the rest in the bank.

What would you do with your million dollars?

I just recieved in the mail a $247 check from my hospital. Pay to the order of ME! I don't understand. I went to the hospital last month for a first degree burn on my hand that happened at work. Workers Compensation covered the bill and the prescription 100%. I didn't pay anything at all. This is the only time I've been to the Emergency Room in over 10 years and the last time I went to the doctor was over a year ago for a bad cold. I don't understand why they are sending me money. Should I go ahead and cash it? Why would they be sending me money? Are they going to ask for it back in a few weeks? What should I do?

I ran into some issues with money for a year. I sold my house and had some outstanding debt for my cable/phone/electricity companies. I didnt have enought funds to pay these off before they went to collections. Now they are on my report for about 300-450 dollars. How do I get them removed? Pay them off? I hear that they dont come off but then others say they do. Does paying them off raise my fico score?

Looking into my wallet today, I noticed I am now strapped for Christmas cash. That led me to wondering why did banks ever discontinue their Christmas Club account business? Does anyone know? ( For you youngsters, a Christmas Club was an account you could put money into during the year, but not take out of until after Thanksgiving) Sure, if I could come up with a lump sum of 500 to 1000 dollars, I would put it in a CD to hold until next Christmas; that just never seems to happen since I live paycheck to paycheck.

If you have a very straight forward deal, why do you need a lawyer? Let's say you promise to pay someone back $10,000 over 4 months or else he can take your car, then can't you write it big poster board and both sign it? And then have someone snap a picture of the both of you and him together shaking hands in front of the poster board and use it in court? You can probably write the contract in 20 words or less. I may be naive, but please inform me.

Heres the situation.... my ex wife and i had an agreement in the divorce decree that stated we were to have split custody of our 2 kids, {1 week with me....1 week with her}..., and for tax purposes we would each be able to claim 1 on our taxes. In real life, this has not happened... the kids have lived with me {im a single dad} for all of the year...total time spent with her would not end up to be more then a couple weeks, tops. Im also sure i could prove this to be true in court as the kids are in school, daycare, etc. Can i legally claim them both as dependents since they lived with me?

I found out thru the BBB that the business has closed and there was no forwarding address or phone numbers left for the company. The policy is paid up till age 25, however now that I am trying to find out info to take it over I am finding out the company is closed. I am planning to contact the dept of insurance for the state tomorrow but what are my options legally? Did the company have to legally transfer my policy or did they have to insure my policy in case of the company going bankrupt? What happens now?

I sold my house and the title company closed well over a month ago. I'm still waiting for final copies of the paperwork from the Title company. What I want are copies which were signed by both parties. I believe it is my right to have copies of these documents in my posession. I have tried calling the Title company. The person who processed my closing does not return my calls. I also left messages with the Title Operations Manager, and he is not returning my calls either. My Realtor's office has also been calling on my behalf and they say the Title company is not returning their calls either. I've since moved out-of-state so walking in the front door and getting in someone's face is not an option. Should I get an attorney at this point or should I wait a little longer?
