A person I know of but who is not a close friend has a house for sale that just went under contract yesterday, and without my knowledge, apparently accepted a offe for the property that is far lower than it's really worth even in a soft market.

Is it legal and ethically and can it be done to have an Agent still submit an offer for the property?

Can the seller break the contract legally, easily and without likely complications at such an early point?

Thanks.

I got a billing statement for a subscription to a magazine that I have no idea about. It is for $88.60 ! I know it is some sort of billing scam but what can I do to resolve this type of thing to keep it from happening again? What do I do about this bogus billing statement I have now?

I left the civil service last year after 24 years following a problem with my health because of which I lost a lot of time at work. I was not sacked but paid off with compensation to pretty much go away.

Now that my health problem has been resolved I cannot get a job as all prospective employers go back to the civil service for references. The civil service simply tell them that yes I worked for them but had my contract terminated last year due to unsatisfactory attendance.

I know this cos one bloke showed me the reference. It does not mention the health problem or that they made me redundant with a large compensation payment.

How can I get round this as I'm getting loads of interviews but no further and more than a few have told me it it is because of my references

I have a business studies assignment i'm in year11
I have to do a really good business plan
i just need your idea what business (small business) should i choose?

i want a new idea it can be anything i just need to write about it so i want something that would be easy to write about.
It would be better if it's not an existing business

I live in Illinois. My property tax assessment went up 9.3% this year. I know the market is down.
Is there any way for me to fight this? Do I even have a chance to lower it, or is it a futile effort.

In 2000 I got really sick & almost died & wracked up some big dr bills. I went to declare bankruptcy in 2001 & my attorney said we'd settle so we did. I gave him all my bills. A few dr's never contacted me so I didn't have their bills to give him. They didn't contact me for like 5-6 years until recently I was working on my credit report & I'm sure they saw that. Now they say I owe them all that interest & I have asked the collections agency only for copies of when they have contacted me as I feel it is unfair to charge me for something I didn't know about. I was too sick to search out all the 1000's of bills but I did honestly turn in all to the tune of $38000 & my family paid them off. But why don't they have to send me copies of when they contacted me ? They said now they are preparing a lawsuit & the interest is $100 and the bill is $360 principal, I have figured out it will cost me more to pay my attorney to check it out than to pay the interest, but I am still very poor ???

I have a manager at work who keeps saying he is a lawyer

Howeverm he is a manager of a debt collection company

We find it annoying, because he is not a trading lawyer anymore, he is a manager!

He keeps reeling of legal terms and he is a training officer for the debt collectors, he tends to waffling on about legal stuff and it is very boring to listen to!

Who would find this an annoying character?!

I am thinking about becoming an agent because it seems like the hours can be really flexible. I have 2 small children and my husband works 5pm-6am 4 nights a week on a rotation of 4nights on, 4 nights off. On his days off, he tends to stay on the night shift, not going to bed until 4 in the morning and sleeping into the afternoon. So I am looking to find something that will fit into his schedule to watch the children. Is this something that can be done as an agent?

Bank of america is very stealthy in charging overdraft fees. For instance, my account had a certain amount of money, I went and used my debit account for several different transactions. I log in this morning and found 6 negative transactions. Why? Because Bank of America cashed a check I wrote several days prior, that day but never bother to display this as being cashed in my online account, overdrawing it. So I now I owe $35 several times over for small charges as low as $.95! This is very deceptive. How can I avoid paying these ridiculous fees? I am not rich and cannot afford to have thousands sitting in my account. Any banks with lower fees and less deceptive practices than bank of america?

Is there anything you can do if you try to use a gift card that should have a $40 balance on it, but Circuit City says there is nothing on it. It was a x-mas gift and I know for a fact that it has not been used. The scratch-away strip is still intact on the back. We are not sure if we will be able to find a receipt.
