I did not own my own business, I do not own my own trucks and My ex- boss treated me like I was an owner of his trucks I was driving for him.! He listed me as an independent contractor and I wanted to know since he hired me to drive his trucks and did not take taxes out of my checks. He sometimes lpaid me cash!!!! What do I do? Can I argue this? He also says I made more money than I thought I made for the year!

with the credit i have which is the "poor or fair" standing with 601. It's more than likely i'll have to do a secured loan, but i have no savings, cds, or accounts or collateral. in such case am i screwed? do i have any other options? i need a loan anywhere from 1 grand to no more than 3 grand. most places make the minimum 3 grand or even 7 grand. i want to use it to pay off high interest credit cards, 3 credit cards with limits of 300 each. the remaining could pay off my 2 grand student loan. i just want them paid off to make my life easier. what can i do? i know i wont qualify for a non secured loan due to my credit problems in the past. help??

Does anybody know the online addresses for these two credit cards? I want to cancel them, but I owe on them and would like to avoid the embarrasment of cancelling over the phone. I know this is cowardly, but my finances are in such a wreck that I have to do something and simply cancelling these cards online and telling them to send me a final bill (and not answering the phone) seems the easiest thing to do. Thank you, all of you, for your help. If someone could provide me with the online addresses for these two cards I would genuinely appreciate it.

Why and how often is property tax levied?

What are the goods its collected on?

Is it collected by individual states? If we move to a different state is it collected as per state rules?

I've had an orchard bank and a first premier bank credit card for about a year now, I'm trying to rebuild my credit score since bankruptcy. I was just approved for and got a capital one card. I only have a $250 limit on one (which is paid off) and a $400 limit on another (that I owe about $320 on). The capital one card has a $1k limit. I was debating paying off the one card and canceling them both. The interest rates are crazy (30%) and they charge me $6/month. Should I cancel them?
Thanks!

He has looked into buying the home himself. The agent has told him that he may be able to get a "gift of equity". They have lowered the cost of the home and the "gift of equity" is supossed to be $20,000. His question is that if he buys the home and takes the "gift" does that mean that the $20,000 goes to his sister? Or does that mean that he will have to take $20,000 out of his share of the inheritance to give his sister? Any info on this will be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone....I have heard alot of contradicting information on Orchard Bank's Mastercard. I have not-the-best credit, and am looking to help improve my score. I have one bill to pay off, but 2 'black marks' on there. I was wondering if anyone has used Orchard Bank's Credit Cards to rebuild their credit, and how it worked out. IM NOT looking for a credit card to charge on.....just a card that i can put small purchases on to help my score go up. Also, i know it is secured, and you have to put down $100 less than the line of credit you want, but do you get that deposit back ever? Please, comments.

I've been working at a restaurant for 2 1/2 months now; I am the HR Manager, Office Manager, Secretary, and Cashier. My title however is only Secretary but my responsibilities are all of the above. My boss keeps adding things to my list of responsibilities and he never changes my title or raises my pay. When anything wrong happens he calls me at home or anywhere and basically tells me it's my fault. Recently I have asked for a raise due to my husband having to quit his job to go to college, my boss basically said "I've been working here for only 2 months, I can find someone to do your job for 2 dollars less an hour than what I am paying you." What should I do, should I get another job or just stay at this one?

I am sure I have been charged too much tax, paricularly recently and I have heard that instead of going to the tax office you can actually send a letter and deal with it all by post.
My questions are: is it possible to do it by post? if so, what do i write in the letter? and third of all, where do I send the letter to?.
Many thanks!!!!

I didnt finished high school and I am not going back there. never. so I'm looking for some job but I cant find anything or they wont accept me.

I was thinking military or a security guard but thats the problem. I am shy, I was bullyied in every school I went to. through whole my life I was seeing those therapists to help me and make me more bold, but there wasnt any progress at all. I'm naturally shy.

so then I could work in some store but I dont want to work with customers everyday cause I'm shy. I have got no idea what to say, I even shop online or I tell my mate to shop for me.

I dont wanna go back to school cause they always judge about how silent I am, even teachers. and I dont want to study cause I'm not that smart. I can learn some things but not much. everyone isnt a perfect A student. and dont look at the avatar, I'm not that pretty eitha, so being a model or something like that wouldnt be an option.

I'm 23 years old, I'm trying to gain structure in my finically life. I'm learning the younger you start investing, the better chance to the road of success you will have. My debt adds up to around 13,000 dollars. This is just credit cards, medical bills, a small loan from a relative. My debts and interest rates are as the following: 6000 credit card with no interest untill April of 08. 2200 medical no interest at all making $50 month payment. 2400 to a apartment complex for moving out early, no interest making 100 payment a month. 2200 to a relative who says to take care of other debt then I can repay them. I'm paying the minium on everything except my credit card with 6000balance. I pay the most I can each month to it. How should I go about paying these debts off? Also, i'm curious to what the best way to start investing are with minimal amount to invest? My job offers 401k and match but I don't know what percent. Should I start with roth ira or what method? Thanks again

I work for 1 officer and have been her assistant the whole 6 years. Because of this horrible market, the company just laid off 6 employees - leaving 3 assistants (luckily I was kept) I was left because of my experience and knowledge and loyalty to this company.
Well, yesterday, the county manager (the one that does the layoffs - my boss' boss) approached me and told me to write down a name and number. He told me he wanted me to go interview with his best friend whom works with "Wall Street." He said he wouldn't and didn't give any other employee this info and knows with the market the way it is, that anything could happen but he wants me to continue on making good money and having a good job because of my "excellent work ethic." He said if I didn't like the job, fine. I still had one here - but he wants me to go interview and talk with him afterwards.

My question is -should I feel complimented, or is this his way of getting rid of me?? He asked me not to speak with my boss..
