Business & Finance - 29 December 2006

We had his kids stay with us for the summer this year and their mother payed us no support. We had them for three months and had to pay child care costs of course. I love his children dearly, but the situation put us into a serious financial mess and we are still trying to keep our head above water because we weren't financially equipped to take them on with no support. I know he can't claim them as a dependant - we didn't have them long enough, but is there some releif from paying their childcare if we have the receipts? I'll take any help I can get.

I am having problems deciding on two houses. One has more curb appeal than the other. How important is that (your own opinion)

Does anyone know of any HIGH RISK credit card companies. No one will give me credit since I have not credit history so I was told to try going with a high risk credit card company. Anyone know of a few? Thanks to all!

Ok, onto my problem. I received a collection letter for $21,000 about three weeks ago. I called the collection company and after weeding my way through the a**holes who try to act tough for their $7.50/hr and scare you into paying I was able to get someone intelligent to talk to. That person didn't have much info other than an account number with Chrysler and the amount I owed. I called Chrysler and learned that my step-brother (a convicted felon with multiple con charges) bought a car in 2001 and I am down as the co-signer. Obviously I did not sign anything for him in 2001, because I have't been on good terms with him since the early '90s. So, to me that means this auto dealership allowed him to forge my name right in front of a salesman. I want to sue the car lot, but the owner sold in 2002.

Is there anyway I can still sue him? I doubt it.

How can I get this off my credit without filing bankruptcy?..and without paying it of course.

If I mail them today, they won't arrive till Tuesday, Jan 2nd... or I could drive to City Hall to drop them off. Do they normally send a receipt indicating the "received date"? or how does anyone know when they were received?

I have no financing problems and I always pay the full balance. But last month, I forgot to pay the bill and I got charges (overlimit fee + interests). So I was thinking of only using my debit card.
The reason I used my credit card is to build a good credit history. But is there any advantage of a credit card over a debit card?

I have a Visa Debit Gift Card. On the game RuneScape, there's a section in the billing page that asks "Valid From", then a choice of month and year, and asks "Expiry" (expiration), then a choice of month and year. I know that on the card where it says "Good Thru", that's the expiration date, but what the heck goes in "Valid From"?!

There is a defunct company that I wish to buy. The company has $400,000 of IRS taxes past due from the year 1998. The taxes are due to non-payment of payroll taxes to the IRS (form 941 filings). The IRS has a lien and judgement on the company which is no longer operating and is in mothballs. If I purchase the company, can I negotiate with the IRS to get the 941 liability dismissed for a nominal amount?
