I purchased a stock coop. apt. in Los Angeles 8 years ago and just found out that the transfer was never recorded. Was the title company supposed to do this?

I have been paying my property taxes thru the HOA.

Why is it that when I answer the phone with the name of my company (EX: Good morning, thank you for calling ___________) customers always say... uhhh yes where am I calling? Or when I answer the phone and the customer starts telling me his whole life story when I dont even know what hes talking about and hes just holding up my other calls? Why is it that ppl are so stupid and they dont know who they want to talk to when I answer the phone, they are all like uhh... mmm... uhhhhhhh, uhh, ma'am uhh, can I talk to.. uh uh uh uh uh... hmmm. uh. Aghhh that makes me want to yell at them. Why is it that when ppl call a business they ask, yes who's this? What diffrence does it make what my name is? Why, why are ppl so stupid when it comes to calling to a business?

He is 19. Got his car last January when he was 18. He has been paying for a year & a 1/2 on it. Every payment has been on time. He is trying to get a loan for a new car but every place says he cant because he doesnt have enough credit b/c all he "has" is a credit card. which is untrue because he's had his car loan thru the SAME PLACE as the credit card for much longer. So he has been calling the bank his loan is thru and nothing has been done yet.

Is there anything he can do to make the bank put it on his credit report?

My partner chose to quit his part time job at the end of oct/beging nov 2006. Due to unforseen circumstances I ended up moving in with him and his parents. I have a full time job at 39 hours per week. I pay £200 per month for the pair of us because he is unemployed. We spoke about it & he suggested doing a course to get a qualification to ultimately get a better job, but have a part time onside run along side his course. I was the ever encouraging girlfriend & agreed to pay the £75 per month for his course till he got a job. He then got a job in mar 2007 that was only 4 hours a week, and he quite after 3/4 weeks.

Now he says he can't be bothered to look for work or do his course, which will cost just short of £3000, regardless of wiether he does it or not now, which i am subsequently paying.

He talks about having our own place and family and stuff, but he doesnt understand that until he gets a job its impossible! He thinks all I do is nag when I talk to him about it. What to do?

I signed a year agreement for an apt May 07 and have come to the conclusion that the apartment isn't what it was cracked out to be. For instance, my bedroom window doesnt close all of the way and only locks on one side so there's a constant draft. We notified them office of this our 1st day there. The laundry room on our floor is supposedly "under construction" although I have never seen anyone there working on it. And to top it off, our apt contains a garbage shute. And the door to the dumpsters is always open b/c a hinge is apparently broken on the door. So when I walk my guest by to get to my apt you can smell the garbage and see a ton of flies flying around. Its embarrassing and very unsanitary. Me and my mom decided that we dont want to stay there anymore b/c they're making no effort to try to fix the problem. But my lease says if i break it then i am responsible for the remainder of the lease. What can I do to get out of my lease? PLEASE HELP!!!
