Business & Finance - 18 July 2007

Our landlord claims to have no way to contact me other than knocking on our door. She knocked very loudly, tried to look in our window and even tried to open the door. I have a husband that works nights and a 2 month old. She woke them both up and said that she knocked the day before and she I knew I was home. Inferring the I am required to answer the door. I asked why she didn't call, she said she didn't have my #. I told her it was listed and she ignored me. I asked her why she didn't write or post notice and she ignored that as well. She's has clearly, in my opinion, violated my tentant rights. How do I respond to this unacceptable behavior?

Why do they always ask if you are working with other recruiters? Does it harm you if you say you are workign with many?

They always ask if your friends need any help, that its like they are sales people.

Are they a good resource to turn to for the next job?

we are moving at the end of the year, but i can't stand my job. there are many positives with it, but they are not outweighing the frustrations, right now.

would you stick it out for 5 more months until you move or would you start job hunting??

thanks for your input!

for those of you wondering about the details:

it's a small company. it's only 4 of us in this office and his mill about 1 hour away. i do mainly admin stuff and working for the owner is like playing cards with someone and THEY make up the rules as you go along. so, no matter how long you play, it always changes so you can never feel like you know what you're doing!
i've been here for about 1.5 years and it's just getting very taxing!

thanks!

Is it normal, or is it weird, I have yet to meet anyone who has ACTUALLY done this for bar tending and / or Wait staff positions, even though it seems bothersome to prospective employers, retro fashioned a bit pushy and strange. If it is done, What should it say? Is there a template?

Is it actually sent through the mail or do you just call them up or hand deliver it ?
Most importantly, How long after the interview should it be sent after, how about two months later, is that too long?

I am currently a full-time student at a community college. I also work-- sometimes full-time/ sometimes part-time at a job where I am a contract employee--which means that I am self-employed--which also means that I am responsible for paying my own taxes.

So here is my question--since I am a full-time student, do I even have to file my taxes? And if so, am I exempt from anything?

If anyone could find any paperwork or anything I will even pay you!!!!

I have bad credit, My hubby has great credit. He is looking to refinance a home he purchased before he got married to me and wants us to apply for a refinance loan together, I'm scared that this will affect his chances of getting a good rate. Also, he purchased a car and since we married I have been responsible for paying the payment. It's been a whole year and the payment has always been on time, but again the loan is only under his name. Is it possible to add my name to the loan with out affecting or changeing the interest rate in order to build my credit? I have paid for everything on my credit report except for 4 accounts. This includes 1 hospital bill, 1 phone , 1 power and 1 rent month. total equals about 1,600 dollars. is there hope? any ideas or links?

I bought a new F-150 earlier this month and it's almost time to pay the sales tax. I live in Missouri and the sales tax rate for my county is 5.85%. The city i live in tacks on an additional 2%. A friend of mine has lived in a neighboring city for around 10 years and has bought 6 new cars says that he simply tells the person at the DMV he lives in the county (not a lie, but leaves out the fact that he also lives within the city limits) therefore paying the lower tax rate. As i've said this has been going on over the last 10 years and he has had no problems. My wife and I are pretty conservative and don't have the guts to do that, but would like to know how likely it is that he will be caught, what agency would likely catch this, and what the possible repercussions could be. He claims that there is no risk.

have to choose a major this fall. I am stuck between going for an associates degree in computer information systems or a bachelors degree in business management. Im more interested in computer information systems but the school im at doesnt have a bachelors for it. But I wouldnt mind business if it came down to it. But what I wanna know is which should I pick based only on these factors.


Is the number of jobs in the given field expected to increase or decrease?

can I still get a high paying job in computer information systems with just an associates degree or would getting the bachelors in business administration help me earn more?

. And im talking about entry level jobs, because I have to pay back my student loan 6 months after I grad. so I want to earn as much as I possibly can, regardless of which one it is. So basically financially which one would be better?

I am filing for bankruptcy. I was told that because my car is not a sports car or an otherwise in demand car, that I would be able to keep it but I had to reaffirm my debt. Will this affect my co-signer in any way?

personally these gas prices are killing us; it is currently $2.88 per gallon in our area. It's approx $20 a day just to go back and forth to work, not to mention the way all industries have hiked their prices to accomodate. My husband does construction and the prices of building materials has tripled and concrete went from $75 to $105 a cu yrd.

My husband and I are purchasing a new construction. As a part of the contract, we were required to submit a pre-approval letter at the time we signed the contract. We also were required to submit a loan commitment letter within 30 days of the contract date, which we fulfilled.

My mortgage broker said the commitment process is like going to close. We plan to close in about 30 days or so. Is it possible for our loan to be denied at the last minute even though we have a commitment letter? This is our first mortgage and we appreciate any information or help that could relieve our worries. Thanks!

My BF just bought house. It does need TLC but is basically a good house. He insured it right after he bought it & everything was fine. That was about 4 months ago. Now his insurance company is saying that they did an inspection & there are problems to be addressed before July 30th or insurance will be withdrawn. The problems: flaking paint so it has to be repainted, debris in the yard that has to be removed & an out building in need of repair. i kind of get the out building issue - he was going to tear it down anyway. As for the debri I don't understand WHY the insurance company would care - but nonetheless it has already been taken care of. Apparently they did the inspection at least 2 months ago because that's when we got the debris out. Anyway - the one that gets me is the paint issue. Why would they care at all? I wanted to ask if they get to choose the color as well. He was going to paint anyway but that is beside the point. Can anyone tell me WHY an insurance co. can do this?
