I have just received a letter addressed to my Father claiming that he was over paid Child Tax Credits and he should pay this back.

However the problem is that the overpayment was over 3 years ago and they have only just contacted us.

The second problem is that he passed away 3 years ago. I believe he may have been receiving some sort of state benefit and child tax credit at the time of his death. At the registrars I believed we filled in a form stopping all benefits.

The question is am I liable for any of this? Its hard enough getting by without being liable for someone elses tax liability.

I'll appreciate it if anyone could tell me where I stand!

Buying a house is a big investment. When my husband and I purchased our townhouse, it was actually the first and only place we had looked at. Luckily, we have loved our home, but are now looking for something bigger. I don't want to go with the first home I look at again - how many homes do you think is a good number to look at before picking?

Hi everyone. I just started a full-time job in February after graduating college in december. I have a good salary and now i'm looking at taking a loan to buy a car and possibly some real-estate. To make this go smoothly i'm trying to increase my credit score which is below average. I know that I can add points to my score by simply increasing my credit limit while not spending anymore on my two credit cards. However, when I recently requested an increase on one of the cards I was denied. I know that I had increased to the max limit when I was a student, but I assumed that they would allow a further increase now that I'm making money.
My question is what is the best strategy to get an increase? I have a good amount of money in savings that i'd like to use as down payment on a real-estate investment, but i'm wondering how much of that I need to feed to my cards in order to get an increase and get my FICO up.

Based on my credit report, it appears as if I have established credit six years ago, and have a few minor blemishes. However, 2 of the three problems were paid in full, and are closed accounts, but still appear. One was as a result of missing two payments with best buy, the other was a medical bill that was sent to collection. Would it help to write to these people? Credit is really important to me. I truly believe it says something about a persons character. Some day I hope to buy a house, but most importantly, I am looking to buy a car in the next few months, and its important that I have the best credit possible. Thanks. Also, I have five credit cards, YES 5, very stupid on my part, but I plan to pay them off in full before the new year. Should I keep them open though?

I recently discovered several errors on my credit report and paid of all remaining balances. I sent dispute letters and the errors/negative marks were deleted. Now I just need to find out how long it it will take for my score to go up.

Tenants signed a lease agreement for one year, lease agreement was singed a month before the scheduled date to move in. In order to hold the house they agreed to pay for half of the deposit and the other half was going to be paid on the first of the month along with the first month's rent. They called before the first of the month stating that they did not have the money and would like to back out of the lease, and were asking if I could give them the deposit money back. What are my options? Can I sue for the entire lease?

I am starting a new job and getting paid pretty well... I am young (below 30) and want to buy a house in the next few years (probably 2-3). I know NOTHING about investing money and was wondering where I start. I was told not to put money in my 401(k) because my employer doesn't match so I should take it somewhere that will give me a better return. Any suggestions??? Also is it worth getting a financial adviser? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

My best friend got in a car accident because some kid made an unsafe lane change into her lane, the car was about to hit her, and she reacted by swerving out of the lane, which caused her to lose control and run into a median. Witnesses who stopped, saw the whole thing and gave their details to the cops. The cops filed the report claiming that the kid was at fault because he made an unsafe lane change. My friend sent that to his insurance, and they say they are only going to cover 15% of the cost, and she is lucky she is even getting that because his car didnt make contact. he is rude, oh and he works for state farm in case you are interested. since this kid is at fault, isnt she intitled to the full coverage? Please help! I know she should get it, but legally is what he is doing justified?
