OK this is kind of long so bare with me...

Alright, I applied for a job a couple days ago and he was nice enough to tell me...

Well I put in my app for this new job and I told him it would be okay to call my last job, (didn’t think they would say anything bad) Well, to find out, he told me that my last supervisor told him I was a, liar, didn’t stock the coolers, stood be hide the counter all day, didn’t do anything, I was lazy, left her hanging all the time, and tons of other things.. well the truth on that was, I trained all the employees that came in and out because she said I was the best, always came to work early, called off once the whole time I worked for them, filled in for other employees(sometimes working all day) stocked the store, did everything she ever told me to do, put up with her always being on the phone and having to do her job as well, and so much more.

Is there a law against that? I thought when someone calls for a reference on another job all they were allowed to say was I wouldn’t rehire her. And that was it...because of that she’s preventing me getting another job, and where I live jobs are limited. Can anyone find me a web site stating anything about this?

We have found a home which we would like to make an offer. The asking price is $179900, a bit below market for the area, but in need of updating (cosmetically). We would like to make an offer that would include them seller paying all closing, or allowing us $5000 for closing (that we could include in our loan). What kind of offer should we present?

Okay.. I was going to a local cubfoods to grab my grandma a newspaper and I saw a guy who left his wallet there.. I took it and put it in my pants then took it back out...because I was like "Think about he feels.... He lost his wallet.... with credit cards whats he gonna do?.." then He came back and was like "Hey did you find my wallet and I gave it back to him. I felt really guilty for even thinking about stealing it. But when I looked to my left when I bought the newspaper I saw some lady watching me. I think she saw the whole thing. So right now i'm scared that they might call the police on me even though I corrected myself.

i have contacted the credit card endlessly, and i am being told that my claim is being declined. I never activated the card and have not used it for over a year, I had a zero balance on it, I never made the purchases they claim I did, I still have the card with the activation sticker attached. I am being called demanding payment, everytime I call they give the same answer, that a manager is going to call me but they never do. Sometimes when I call, they hang up on me. I dont know what else to do. Help me!!

If I purchase a new computer or laptop, can I claim the full amount back from my VAT. I was told that if I buy a pc for £400 then £400 will be deducted from my VAT bill as it's classed as consulmables. Is this true or would I just claim back the VAT i spent on the item?

Thanks

Well, I have found that my non-running car is not worth fixing. I would like to donate it but how does that work? My father has to pay taxes and has been pressing me to sign the car over to him so he can get the deduction. I do not have to pay taxes at the end of the year so would it even benefit me if I donate it?

I'm renting a house where the owner has not paid the mortgage in 6 months. She is telling property management, she is selling it to family member. I went to the recorders office and got copies of the Notice of Default. She has not paid up nor has she sold the property. Once the date of Oct 18th gets here. I was told the auction could take 30 days. The new owners of the bank then has to give me a 30 day notice to move. Which will take me to Christmas. I don't want to move during Christmas. Step by step what is going to happen? I'm making myself sick over this.

There's a annoying loud mouth coworker that I have to deal with. She's very opinionated and she is not afraid to say what she wants. She has been spoken to by our supervisor many times about her attitude. Lately, I feel she's out to get me because she's has been complaining to many people about me even though I didn't do anything to her. I'm that kind of person who is very friendly and like to help other coworkers by making things easier around the office. When asked, one coworker doesn't see what I did wrong to annoy her.
