I have an emergency room bill which I have not yet paid and I'm wondering if it will keep me from being able to buy a health insurance policy and if the unpaid bill hurts my credit rating. The letters they send says it will hurt my credit rating, but most people tell me they're just trying to scare me and that ER bills don't hurt your credit rating. Anybody here know for SURE?

Working on some accounting homework; I'm not sure how to journalize the signing of a contract for an imaginary construction company. Any accounting majors out there who can tell me whether the signing of a $250,000 contract for work set to begin at a future date would be recorded in the general journal? If yes, which accounts are debited and credited? Thanks a bunch.

I will ask a contractor to do some floor work. How much is the tax I need to pay him in addition to the amount of the price quote?
They say it's much higher than 8.5% of the regular sales tax. Is that right?

This is going to sound really silly, I'm trying to verify a story told to me that I don't think is true but someone told me their name was misspelled on the title & insurance and that when they refinanced the first loan wasn't paid off as it should have been so they're able to walk away from their home now free and clear. This is in the state of GA. True or not?
Also, is there a list that shows homes in foreclosure in GA?
Thanks!

I can hear the family upstairs having a shower/flushing toilet because the pipe runs down the wall (in a box) next to my bed and wakes me up at 5am every morning.

Seems weird for a 'luxury' appartment.

I complained and they said too bad I signed the contract.
(rental agreement).

I am in need of information on personal grants. Let me specify. None of the websites that advertise buying their book or cd. Not for school use either. One that specifies grant use for women or minorities. I have heard that you can get a grant for anything, where can I obtain information?
Please and thank you.

I am working towards a degree in finance in school.
Right now i do more of IT/Marketing stuff for a growing company and the hours are very flexible and the environment is great. I love working there.

Now i have a chance to go and work for Merrill Lynch as a temp in operations doing low level job. Around the same pay or more. Hours are very strict and job is boring and tedious.
However, this would be a huge resume builder for me. It's an operations job. I hope i dont feel awkward as a guy there.

What do you think?

I was so excited about the job, but now i heard more about it and don't feel too excited anymore.

But even if i go to ML i can still work as a consultant for my current company.

I've just recently in the last year or so been able to start paying on them, so i have quite a few on my credit. My friend says they can't do that and its illegal, that she got a lawyer and he told her the same thing and force the company to remove it from her credit. So any help here, websites anything?

I came home and found a 60 day notice on my front door about a month ago that said we have to be out nov 14. I have made arrangements to move. My mom is the one thats on the lease. she has not been home for 6 months and she left me and my roommate here. I was all set to move and get out of this situation when i come home from work today and find a 3 day notice on our door. It was not sent certified mail. its a copy not an original and all it has is the landladys signature. I am not going to be able to get all my stuff out in 3 days let alone all my moms crud shes left here. Im wondering if it is legal to serve a 3 day when we have the 60 day notice. I called my roommate to ask what could have happened because a week ago the landlady told her everything was ok. and she called her yesterday and the lady told her my mom sent her the wrong check and it was postdated because my roomate is a truckdriver and she left checks for the next few months and she grabbed next months

Hello, I have a bad situation now. I made a verbal agreement over the phone with a collection agency to pay off a freinds debt. I was at work at the time so I did a 3way conversation w/ my friend, the collector&me. I have my friend permission to give this man my bank account info. I live in NY and hte agency was in Ca so by state law this was the only way I could pay. I decided that I dont want to pay for my friend. can the agency take any action against me since i made a verbal agreement. The agecy issued a check w/ my bank info and it was being used to take the money out of my back account. my bank sent the check back to them since i didnt give authorization (meaning my signature) i asekd my bank if my authorization over the phone would be good enough and they said no. I dont want to the bothered w/ this cause its stressful. my main question is can the agency do anything to me if i tell them i dont want to be a part since i made this agreement over the phone. pleeease help!
