Business & Finance - 12 October 2007

I live in NC. In 2003 I defaulted on a $5000 C.C balance. A few months ago a lawyer group had aquired the debt and contacted me. I started paying $100 a month, but missed last month. Now the lawyer is contacting me saying they are going to file papers for a judgment (even though I have no problem mailing in my last payment). I know the SOL is 3 years in NC, but did I restart the clock by making the payments recently? Also, can they file a judgement. And if so what does that mean?

I was about 2 months away from getting a review for a raise. A lady under me told my boss she wanted to file sexual harassment again me. The lady & I haven't have any problems before she always tell everyone at work how she in serious debt. Any way they DIDN'T have a case cause they only had her word. They took statement from all employees & they said really good things about my management style. They watch tapes from the store are everything was good.

HR said if everything checks out I would be okay. Everything checked out but I went to work the next day & they said we are going to demote you because your work is not as good as it should be. Which is BS cause since I been there that store has improved a lot. I also didn't have an assistant like other store managers and still managed to a better job than them. My employees, customers, increase profits made & decrease in losses proofs it. They wanted me gone from the start. What can I do if anything?? Advice please

My daughter was taken on as a recruitment officer and for past month really enjoyed it. However, on Monday she overslept, rang in straight away and was told to take day off and that the Manager would want to contact her. He doesnt work in office. She tried for days to get hold of him, leaving voice messages and texts. When he did return her calls he said she hadnt bothered to contact him, and that someone else is starting her job on Monday!! In saying that he said if she doesnt work out we will consider you again. Can he do this? She is devastated as she really enjoyed this job

If you have filed for legal seperation (in Michigan it is called seperate maintenance), do you still have to file taxes together? I know if you are not living together and file seperately without a legal seperation, you do not qualify for the earned income credit. But if you file for seperate maintenance, can each party file for the credit then?

From what I understand, there are Michigan tax laws allowing deductions for renters and lendees, but what about those responsible people who have chosen not to live their lives in debt (i.e., have no mortgage or rental dues)? Are they just out of luck?

They were getting robbed and my bank lady was sooo nice and calm. Can you believe she stayed on the phone with me instead of hanging up? Do you think she stayed on the phone because she was scared or because it's just policy to treat the customer good?

Due to financial difficulties a financed vehicle needs to be returned. Refinancing has been tried. The finance company has been asked to reduce the payments. Were told that if vehicle was returned or repossessed, wages could be garnisheed and full financed amount would be taken, even if the company resells the vehicle.

The finance company is for one of those "buy here pay here" lots.

We (actually my husband) rented out a house for a "friend of a friend". He and his 2 teenagers needed somewhere to live. Rented him the house starting last october, $350/month, with no lease. My hubby gave him 2 months rent FREE until he got back on his feet.
In Aug. he called my cell and left a voicemail stating they were moving out.
In Sept. my hubby went there and the guy still had stuff in the house, plus like 5 JUNK CARS on the property!
I drove by last week and the junk cars are still on the property.
On Oct. 9th, this week he wrote us a check for $350, and on the MEMO it says "August rent, last month of residence, final payment.
What about Sept. rent?? Wouldn't he have to pay it, if he still had stuff in there along with the cars on property? We KNOW he was still there in Sept., because the dog was tied up on the porch. He's stating he didn't live there, he shouldn't have to pay rent.
So without a lease, or we screwed out of Sept. rent?
What to do with cars?

No it's not for porn. Why can't I just tell my credit card provider to no longer allow charges from a specific organization? If not, is there any credit card company that allows this?
