I live in Iowa. I sold a car and a stove for $250. She paid me with a check that I deposited into my bank the following Monday. (She paid me on Saturday) It took nearly 2 weeks for the check to come back to my account as a Charge-Back - reason NSF. I called my bank for advice. I then took their advice and called HER bank to see if I could bring the check in to cash. No luck, not enough funds in her account.
After she finally returned my calls later that day, she told me that she would come to my house immediately following work on Friday (her payday) and pay me the cash. I know that Iowa law provides that you can recover up to 300% of the check amount, but under what circumstances? Should I just take the check to the police station? Or to the County Attorney? Will I be able to recover my property and the money? Or just either/or?
Any advice is GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

he's 53 and we pay for everything for him.
Don't know if these things mean anything but:
We do not have health insurance for him, he has been getting it as a charity at the hospital or he just has it as a debt.
He also owes the IRS over $25k.

We want to be able to deduct from our taxes because he is getting expensive.

Does his address have to be the same because his current address is my brother's apt.? Also, he used to live with my brother so he has a few utilities in his name. He also has some credit cards in his name.

What are the requirements, does he have to be over a particular age?

I am really disappointed - everybody talks about recycling yet here I am with a degree and I can't get a job. I know as an Eastern EuropeanI can start on a senior level (and man, I am keen on an administrator position just let me start it!), but even for junior positions they expect 2years experience!
I have 1 year experience in waste management (project work, not UK based).

I phoned recycling companies and they wouldn't recruit without an agency (but wouldn't tell the name of the agency).
Councils go through the job centre, but I can't apply for jobs in Ealing if I live in Wandsworth.


Do you know an agency I should contact?

Are you an Environmental Engineer in waste management and have some ideas or tips?

there is a collection agency attempting to collect on an unpaid phone bill from a former tenant, am I responsible for paying it since I own the property? If I rent to another tenant, will the unpaid bill with the phone company have to be paid before the phone service can be turned on?

Hello, Reading a newspaper, I got to ask myself why people simultaneously hold financial assets and liabilities.
Do you know why?
Is there any advantage to doing so? If so, what is it?
I am looking forward to having good answers from you guys.
Thank you for reading!

I have been working at a shoe store for over a year, and I get paid $5.70 an hour plus 1% commission, I work in NH and i'm pretty sure the minimum wage is $6.50 as of September 1st, 2007. I don't know if I should complain or what? I am a very good employee, I hardly call out and never come in late. My manager has not given me one raise since I started working there which was almost 13 months ago. For every hundred dollars that I sell I make one dollar. I only work about 15-20 hours a week. I sell about 2,500 a week, which is only 25 dollars. I dont know if she hasn't given me a raise because im on commision or what but i dont know what she would say if I asked her for a raise? Would she tell me that im on commision and that I should sell more to make more money or what?

What should I do?

I bought a single family residence in February for $22,500.00 and sold it while in the process of remodeling it one week later for $59,000.00. The buyers put down $10,000.00 and I financed the remainder and began collecting payments in June. We closed in April and the remodel process continued until August when they took posession. I invested approximately $20,000.00. I have a full time job and the remodel was part time (weekends). How can I minimize the taxes I must pay and approximately how much will that be?

Trying to find out if I have done everything properly. I opened a business account with a EIN#. Wrote 4 equal checks dividing the probated condo money and about $16,000 of my mother's personal bank account money which was already in my name too. Checks were approx. $26,000 each. Is there anything I have to do tax wise? Like provide any information to the IRS or my siblings for tax purposes. We all live in Ohio except one in Florida.

I am thinking of learning SQL. I have some knowledge of programming languages such as BASIC and COBOL, which I did many years ago at school. Do you suggest I learn SQL by joining a course at college, or do it via distance learning, or by myself a book and teach myself?

What job prospects do I have after learning SQL? I suppose I would have a problem getting my first job. i.e. no job no experience. How can I get practical work experience using SQL, without getting a job first? (which is the main question that employers ask at interviews)

I need some good advise. I work for a hospital and have been there for almost 5 years. We become eligible for retirement after 3 years so I have like $4400 in there right now which is a 457b plan. I am in the process of trying to buy a house. We are approved but need a downpayment of $3800. I have about 1/2 of my own money for that and was wondering if I could borrow the rest out of my 457b plan or either pull some out for the down payment. My loan officer told me that you can pull retirement money out of a 401k for a house down payment but she wasnt sure on the 457b!! Any one know??
