If a cheque is never received, does the financial institution that allegedly posted it have any sort of responsibility/duty of care to ensure that it is safeguarded? If posting a cheque is not a secure method then why would they do this? If anyone can point me in the direction of any sort of legal stuff on this would be most appreciated - thanks!

My house has several big things wrong with it (foundation, electrical wiring, plumbing), and a lot of little things (siding is ugly, windows are decayin, many of the doorknobs don't work properly, the front door is beat up, cracks in the walls around windows, no light fixtures, no bathroom exhaust fan, the list could go on). I'm prepared to sell my home for much less than others in my neighborhood, but I want to get the best price possible without being dishonest.

I've never sold a house, let alone a fixer-upper. I know that I should sell it "as is" but don't know much more than that. Can someone with experience please advise me?

Thanks!

I need to build my credit and just saw a commercial for this card. How does it work, and is it a good way to build credit?

No not really, there just is a displacement of nurses of where they are needed. There are 3.2 million nurses (RN's) in the USA, but they are not where they are needed, they are not in the ER's or in the ICU's, they are in other jobs like social work that could be filled by other qualified candidates, because of the stress and fatigue of ER/ICU work. Why do RN's compare themselves to doctors or lawyers... the trend has been most rn schools are moving to the community colleges. Doctors and lawyers trained at CC's? Thanks to the nurses union they have kept healthcare costs for the general consumer and nursing pay temporarily up, by creating an imaginary scarcity.

I have maxed my credit card and want to transfer the balance to another with interest free on balance transfers. Haven't been successful in getting one and then read that if you are not registered at your address, you are not likely to get one. I recently registered, so have i now got a good chance of getting one. I haven't got a good credit rating, I always pay my debts, but not always on time?

If the central balks didn't intervine in the markets, what would happen?

I have heard something about 'sub prime' loans going bad in the US. If the markets hadn't stepped in to help, what would have happened?
