I just received a quote from a bathtub linning company. When I asked for identification such as the permit to do the work the sale rep said it wasn't required. I'm thinking this just can't be possible what are your thoughts on this?

I have been at a company 4years. I have had a medical problem that I only communicated to my supervisor, but have not ask for any special situation, no additional time off, and glowing reviews with raises & promotions, never written up for anything, numerous service excellence awards. Then I get an infection and have to go into hospital (not directly related to my medical condition) and while I was away in the hospital (short term disability for just about 2 weeks)I supervisor announces in a meeting to everybody what my medical condition is. Glowing review dated 7-29, manager says I am getting a merit increasebut on 8-3 HR calls says supervisor says there is "deficit performance" what exactly is unknown. Now I doubt I will the merit increase I was told on 7-29. I was wondering what recourse I have now that they wont what me because I am sick, even though I never needed or ask for anything different than anybody else. How can they tell everybody?

Can they fire me because I am sick?

If I ask for a fixed rate and am told thats what I am getting,and I ask again and again am told thats exactly what I am given,is the finance company responsible ethiclly,as say a lawyer or a doctor to be above board. when is it questionable and who protects the people or regulates finance companys from giving out an ajustable rate instead.

At the beginning of the current period, Fassi Corp. had balances in Accounts Receivable of $400,000 and in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $22,000 (credit). During the period, it had net credit sales of $910,000 and collections of $941,000. It wrote off accounts receivable of $24,000. However, a $5,000 account written off as uncollectible was recovered before the end of the current period. Uncollectible accounts are estimated to total $20,000 at the end of the period.

Can your calculate the ending balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Thanks

how do credit counseling agencies work exactly? if you have 4 credit cards totalimg $5,000 and each have minimum payments currently of approx $35 which barely covers interest, how can they help? do they charge to help? Should you only deal with so called non-profit groups?

I had several accounts of debt that I was responsible for from the early to mid 90s. These debts consisted of a home ($120,000), a central heating/central air unit installed in the home ($15,000). A water softener system also installed in the home ($5000). Personal Loans - one was secured by household goods for $4000 and one was not - another $4000. And credit card debt for $850. I stopped paying these loans back in 1995 and stopped paying my credit card in 1997 because my debt exceeded my income. I could not take the house or the water softener or the central heating/air unit with me, so why pay for it. I get letters every once in a while from these people still trying to collect and I always ignore it. None of these items appear on my credit report, and I've been told that my credit report is excellent with a credit score of over 800. Can anyone tell me if these bill collectors can come after me for the balance owed almost 15 years ago?

If you only use one house at a time then why don't you just let people live in your extra one while you're not using it? I don't mean trying to swindle a profit out of them, just out of niceness. I mean, you'd be paying whether its being used or not.

We have about 1200 in cc debt, 10000 in personal debt, 10000 in car debt and we'd like to fix up our house needing about 10k. Should we wait on the house or should we consolidate the debt and improve the value of our home? We also want to have another baby which would add to our expenses...

As a non-unioned employee do I have any expectation of rights or fair treatment (aside from flat out abuse or discrimination)?? Or can a company terminate employment at their whim or move your job to another state and not provide relocation assistance?
