Business & Finance - 28 July 2007

I have recently received a mail from a company looking for reps who can receive their customers payment (written to my name) and asking me to cash them and deduct 10% for myself and send the rest of he cash through western union. Is this a legal way to do? Has anyone received any mail like this one that I received recently. They have sent a package through UPS and I have to wait a day to receive it.

People move into a property owned by an 'agency'. They pay a 'rentgage'. The money from their rentgage goes in a number of different directions: to the agency (for administration (don't expect them to do it for free)), to a repairs and home improvement fund and the rest is invested in new property.

The person who pays the rentgage does not own the property but has a share in it as he does in all the other properties the agency invests in. He owns a share in all the property the agency has bought that is proportional to the amount he has paid in.

I didn't realize how much my blood tests cost until I recieved a benefits of service sheet in the mail, but it says at the bottom that it is not a bill. It does say that I have to pay a certian amount. Can they legally take this out of my paycheck (so then my boss knows some of my medical information) or will they just send me an official bill? Does it have to be paid all at once do you know. It is Blue Cross PPO40

If I take out 100K from my 401K to use as a down payment for my primary home purchase, how much tax do I have to pay. Some say only 10% because it is a 'hardship' distribution. Its this true?

Or is this 100K distribution going to add to my anual gross salary and then the new tax bracket applies to it in addition to the 10%?

I just finished my first year in the audit practice at a Big Four firm. This sounds nerdy, but I absolutely love it! Despite the long hours and the horror stories that everyone had told me, I have been pleasantly surprised and genuinely enjoy my clients, the fast-pace environment, the different industries, working in teams, and the technical accounting issues. There are definitely some less exciting parts of the job, but I feel that the benefits significantly outweigh those things. I don't know if I want to go the partner route, but I am really looking forward to being an audit senior in a couple of years. However, I have found that it is tough to differentiate yourself at a Big Four firm because almost everyone here is highly motivated and an overachiever. That said, I was curious if anyone with experience out there had any advice for someone who is relatively new to the public accounting industry. What can a second-year auditor do to stand out?

I went to an average (not pricey) restaurant for dinner with 3 other people. I paid with a credit card. On the slip, I added 14% tip. At the time, I didn't know how much % tip I included, but I knew the service had not been good. They screwed up my father's order, almost gave me the wrong plate until a table across the room hollered at the waiter since they recognized it as their order, took a long time to bring back a to-go box, and never actually gave us the bill after we had to ask for it. So I actually walked up to the front register (although I don't think they check-out patrons that way normally) to run my credit card. I wrote an amount on the tip line, the grand total, and signed. When I checked my bank statement, I find they over charged me by $2. I don't understand this, other than it seems the new tip amount would be 20%. I didn't see any signs posting this service amount. If they require 20% tip, shouldn't they just add it to original bill so I know?

Advice based on personal experience please. Website links helpful and appreciated. I want one that reports to Credit Agencies. A monthly and low annual fee OK if there are not a lot of misc. or hidden fees. I am looking for a secured credit card rather than a prepaid card because I want reports and because I want to get interest paid to me on the secured amount (like a savings account). I intend to pay it off each month so interest rate charged for use is not first priority. I do want personal experience or web research and I do not want spam or scams or soliciters. Thank you.

If I choose to sell a call option that I previously bought to close out my position (instead of excercising it), who is actually buying this option and paying me the premium at hopefully a higher price than I bought it?

I graduated BS Nursing in Philippines 12 years ago, worked there as a lic'd RN for 9 months then came here but ended up working as a clerical staff for the whole 11 years.

Now I want to go back to becoming an RN. I have been attending review classes at Kaplan Review Center in prep for the RN licensure exam but I feel that its not enough for me. Its so hard to dig up the knowledge I learned 12 yrs ago.

I feel I need something more intensive than a review course, but less intensive than re-taking the whole BSNursing program.

What do I do? Where do I enroll in classes like that? De Anza College in CUpertino CA offers an RN refresher course but its only for RN who are already licensed here in CA.

I appreciate any advise you can offer me. Thank you.
