Business & Finance - 25 August 2007

Ok, so I'm sure you've all seen the commercial with the guy in the suit with question marks on it telling you how you can get $10,000 to go bck to college, $5,000 to open a bakery, $2000 to get a haircut, etc. I was just curiuos if anyone has bought the book or got it from the library and if so does it work? I can't imagine the book works great, obviously it would probably be like a million times harder than he says but I imagine some of the ideas might work?

I have 2 positions where I left them and I'm trying to figure out how to turn these explanations into a positive rather than making the interviewer doubt my loyalty and ability to stick with a position. The first one - I was temping and took a permanent position where they then downsized and I was laid off. The other - the company was going out of business, so I resigned to look for other opportunities. How do I turn this in MY favor rather than having an interviewer continuing to probe, why, why why???? They drive me crazy - when they ask that and make it sound like I was committing career suicide by resigning. Do you have ideas for what to say that will make me look good rather than having to go into detail about the past???

We sign a contract agreement to buy a house and now we find other property, at a lower price and more space. We want to terminate the first agreement. We don't want them to take any actions against us.

What can we do to avoid a sue and (maybe) recover the downpayment money?

I currently own an investment property with a business partner. I am the only one on title since the mortgage is only in my name. I desperately need to get out of this property. My partner has agreed to release me from my obligations. I am giving up all my equity to accomplish this.

We have two options available from what we can tell to get me off the mortgage which is the main objective:

Option 1 - He can actually purchase the property from me to release me from the mortgage. This likely is a bad idea. Essentially, he would buy the house but the proceeds that I receive would end up going back to him at closing. This could easily be looked at as loan fraud and I have not interest in breaking the law.

Option 2 - We add him to title and then he refinances the property removing me from the mortgage. He has been an owner the whole time, it just hasn't been reflected that way on title. He is more than qualified to be approved for the loan.

Is option 2 legal?

The first lender who ordered the appraisal came back with ungodly fees and interest rates. I would like to shop around for a better loan. Now other lenders want an appraisal as well. The appraiser says that I do not have rights to the appraisal that I paid for. Is he correct?

My mortgage company recently raised my payments by $440 per month to 'make up for' taxes because they have 'reassessed their escrow schedule'.

Basically, they do an escrow analysis each August. This year, they paid my 2nd installment of taxes in August (not September, when due), so that they could include the 2nd installment in the escrow analysis, done in August.

Are they doing this because so many people are defaulting loans now and they are not recovering the taxes they have paid?
What else could be the logic?
I have to think that if this is happening everywhere, the results could be devastating to homeowners.

I tried calling them and they gave me some lame answer about how the county called them and made them pay it in August, but that doesn't make any sense to me.

Thank you.

If a person has a bank account with another person and they have a judgment on them, lets say for support arrears or repossession can those judgements legally seize those accounts when they dont know whose money actually goes into the account? I know with support arears if a husband a wife file jointly on their income taxes the government cannot take all the taxes they actually have to figure out the wifes contribution and the husbands and take from whatever contribution was from the one who has the arears

I've heard countless stories about people who've had large sums pulled from their accounts due to debt owed. Do bank allow this? Is there some sort of court proceeding before this happens that you're aware of or is this all done behind your back.

I'm wondering if it's safe to get a checking account and actually put money into it if I owe, or have things in collection.
