Business & Finance - 14 January 2007

Hi, just wondered if anyone had any information regarding the following, someone I know quite well - their only income is benefits which are put straight into their bank account. However, the bank keeps charging them and they are losing almost half of their money, it spiralled as one charge meant they couldnt repay that and the item which bounced, bla bla bla, basically, i am sure i read somewhere that it is illegal for the banks to take benefit money, can anyone point me in the right direction as to where i can find this information, i have looked, to no avail. Many thanks

I wanted to inquire if anyone is familar with 1. Missouri law on debt. I had someone contact me that believes that I owe them for a bill that was aquired when they were roommates. This debt is over 11 years old. Is anyone aware of the limit in which they can file to collect the believed debt? Can you file in another state from when the debt was aquired?

I'm looking for a good job that will offer security for my future and a decent paycheck. I'm not looking to break the bank just something that pays better than a cashier.

I work with people who are very mean and show no sympathy for other people. It makes me very unhappy working with them, as I am not like that at all. I have been looking for another job for the past 2 months now without any luck.
What would you do if you were in my place??

If not, what are your top 3 reasons why you won't consider?

Please reply ONLY if you are looking for a job or entrepreneurship opportunities.

This is NOT an offer but just to understand why ordinary people looking for jobs or small business opportunities don't consider these kinds of opportunities, which can earn on-going income for mostly one time effort. It involves only some effort and no risks.

One can earn $2,000 to $10,000 a month from this, if one is resourceful.

Incidentally, distribution of products is a high margin activity, which normally requires investment, and only local big players get into it.

The name must start with the letter "A". Something fancy/elegant would be nice.

I am now working steadily, but over the past years I was not able to meet the payments, therefore, I am in arrears. I do not want nor can I afford an attorney, but would like to hear from others whom have encountered this problem and how to come up with a win-win solution.

Currently my job pays me just above minimum wage and even though I'm living with other people it's hard to keep my head above debt with the few bills I have. My job is so back breaking and underpayed that the goals I had for myself feel like they're slipping away. I wanted to get a Class A CDL and make a better pay check and also go to college but I've been doing the math and with bills to pay and very little reserve I don't think I'll reach $1,000,000 US dollars in the next 20 years.. hell I can't even keep $20 in my bank account right now. How do I reach my goal? Surely by working pay check to pay check I'll have nothing in the future so what can I do? Should I start my own business or learn about the stock market? Thank you for any advice.
