Business & Finance - 4 June 2007

I was in an auto accident in 12/03. My health insurance and auto insurance paid hospital bills, etc. I paid the balance in May, 04. Have not heard one more word even tho I still live at same address and work for same company. Now receive notice from collection agency! Could this be a scam of some type? Wouldn't the hospital try to contact me over the years if I still owed? The bill is only $150.00 but it's the principal of the thing. Do I fight it? Do I have a leg to stand on?

Are there any US pennies that are worth money (ok, other than 1 cent--ha ha)? I know there's that steel one from 1942(43?), but what about old pennies like 1910's and 20's. Is there a site that lists valuable pennies??

I bought my house last June, so its been just at a year. I would like to borrow money to re-roof my home. Is it too soon to apply for a loan like this. I know I don't have alot of equity in the house yet, but I would like to go ahead and redo the roof now before I have a problem.

My parents are very independent and would never knowingly take money from me. I would like to help them save for future needs. How should I do this? Can you set up an account in someone's name without them knowing?

In this age of computer technology, can anyone complie a list of businesses or professions that doesn't use computers?

With the onslaught of computers programs like e-mail, accounting and other data banks, I find it hard to imagine any workplace that doesn't utilize compuiters somehow.

Thanks for your answers!

A while ago I applied for a waitressing job, and today they called me and told me to come in for an interview. I was hired, but after they hired me they told me the 50 million rules: no jewelry, no makeup, no nailpolish, special shoes must be worn, hair has to be in a bun. All kinds of stupid crap. I'm not interested in the job, but I just sort of nodded during the interview, because I didn't wanna jump up and be like "No thanks!" How do I gracefully get out of this?

4 years ago when I was 18 , I got a student credit card and I never activated it and I just cut it up. I never got any bills or anything in the mail and I don't even remember what company it came from. Do you think it expired? What happens if it didnt?

I bought the house while we were engaged and closed on the house a few days after we were married. The title company put her on the Deed of Trust but she is not on the mortgage loan. I would like to add her to the warranty deed of ownership. Can that be done? How?

Hello

I'm trying to figure out what I can do, to best reduce my taxes.

Here's my situation:

- I'm in the process of buying a home. From what I know, I can write off the taxes paid on the property and also interest paid on mortgage.
- My wife is pregnant.
- My wife has her own business where she works part-time. She'll probably bring in an income of $15-20k for 2007. Anyway I can claim her as an dependent? How about the baby in the womb? :)

Tax info:
State: NJ
My Income: 80k-85k
Wife's Income: 15-20k

I'm pretty ignorant as to what to do, to best reduce my taxes. If anyone can shed some light, I'd appreciate it.

I am interested in buying a coin luandry business (200K). I am only 19 but should have good credit with credit card and car loan. Would it be possible for me to get a loan at 10% down or under? Maybe if my dad co-signed and or i had a partner?

I have only JUST found out that the Mexican, United States and Canadian Officials are meeting and planning a North American monetary system like the EURO, and the plan is to call it the AMERO.
Is this a done deal, or might it be squelched?

I even had to do year end taxes that I have never done before. I do monthly tax reports for them but never year end. They just didn't want to pay thier accountant. I do not have a degree in accounting but I have worked there for 4 years and I thought I deserved a raise. What do you think I should do

Someone told me they got out of paying a dental bill because the dentist waited over a year to send it out. They said the Better Business Bureau told them this but I cannot find out anything from anyone.
