Last year I let my mother-in-law use my credit card to pay for two of her kids to go to an EF Tour it ended up costing more than $3000 she said she'd pay it off w/in a year but she's been only paying me the min $100 a month and it's getting no where, I still owe $2500 on the card, how can I get rid of this debt. She blames me for not telling her that the interest would rack up, but made her aware of everything before I charged it. Now she tells me not to tell her husband since she was the one who ruined HIS credit, What do I do, I know I was stupid for trusting her but how can I fix this?

This involves the state of Illinois, if that matters. We've been together for 15 years and have two kids.

I have been applying everywhere and I haven't gotten a call back. Is it better to apply in person at the place or is applying online just the same? I have only applied online everywhere. I am only looking for these types of jobs: Front desk receptionist for a hotel, hostess at a restaurant, or a secretary job at an office. I have no prior experience which makes it hard for me when the employers want someone with experience. But how do I even start out and get experience for later if no one will hire me in these types of jobs? My only previous jobs are working at a movie theater as a concessionist, and now I'm assistant Pre-K teacher at a school. But I need a weekday nights and weekend job.
So really, my questions are: What are the best ways to apply for a job (talk to the hiring manager myself?), how can I get the required experience for these jobs if no one will hire me for the 1st time? And if there are any other suggestions for jobs for me that would be easy to find?

I put a check in as a security deposit for a sublet that I was going to do June 18th, then had to cancel due to personal and a job offer that I received in another state. I give the person a notice on the 27th that I won't be able to move in. The sublet is for 3 months from July to September. Because it was my fault, I agreed with him verbally that he can take off half of the security deposit as payment for the inconvenience, but now he changed his mind since he haven't been able to find someone and want the whole thing. Can I technically dispute the check with my bank? What other options are available? I do not have a copy of paper I signed as it was suppose to be handed to me the day I move in.

This is the first home my husband and I have owned, it's a condominium that was purchased 10 months ago. We just experienced a flood due to an improperly installed valve. We are selling the condo back to the builders (as it was brand new when purchased and this was VERY unforseen). We will be purchasing a new home and rolling all equity into it (there will be about $20,000 in equity with the buy-back due to current market value). Will we have to pay capital gains on the $20,000? Will this fall under "Unforseen Circumstances" and qualify for a lower exclusion? Or is there something else??? THANKS!

I live in an apartment complex and my air condition just recently went out July 4th. The AC was fixed by a electrician leased through the apartments on Saturday, July 7th.

The electrician came out Thursday afternoon but in order to fix the AC half the main power had to be turned off in my apartment. It started to rain and he refused to finish the job.
The power was left half on for two days. The electrician didn't show back up until Saturday to fix things.

My bathroom, kitchen, and living room had no power. The food in my freezer and refrigerator spoiled thus I had to throw away $100 -$150 worth of food.

The apartment manager is telling me that they do not have to re-reimburse me for my food lose and that it states so in my lease. I've looked at my lease and it says that the complex has property insurance but not for a tenants personal belongs, that they should get renters insurance.

I have a scanned copy of my lease here. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z125/tehstuffz/contract2.jpg

I have pictures of from when I had to throw out my food and a maintenance personal as a witness.

My question is, is food consider personal property? Even so is my apartment complex liable and have to compensate me since it was their electrician that left my power only half turned on?

I asked a question a few days ago concerning wether the car registration document could be in my name if the car finance was in my husbands name, generally most people thought it wouldnt be allowed. I wondered if it would apply to a straightforward bank loan, you can say its for a car or you can say its for house improvemants etc..but if you were honest and said it was for a car, would the reg doc have to be in my hubbys name then also?

...he is selling the building. The potential buyers are 'concerned' that my landlord waived the deposits. The real-estate agent confronted me with papers to sign today saying that I acknowledge the deposits and or lease was not 'satisfied'.

What are my rights here? I did not sign the papers. As a matter of fact I ripped them into tiny little pieces and threw them in the trash. Is my landlord the one now responsible to cover the deposits. If my landlord covers the deposits how are they handled when I finally move out?

When filing in a filing cabinet should papers be placed in folders so that you can view them up right when flipping through them, or should they be placed so when you take the file out of the cabinet you open the file like a book?

Does anyone know of a book that has the "how to" of filing?

I'm great when it comes to being interviewed. However, I am being interviewed for a different position in the same establishment that I currently work for. I have a couple of vacations planned for this year, and the department that I currently work for already knows about them. Should I mention this to my interviewer at the interview, or is it best to wait for them to offer the job to me? which sounds better and more professional?

I live in Oregon, and this is for services ALREADY rendered but not paid for...

If I have signed a contract that does NOT mention the charging of interest if the invoice becomes overdue, however it IS mentioned on all overdue invoices that I send out, does the client still have to pay the added interest, or are they void from having to pay it because it was not mentioned in the original contract?
