I am being sued for rent money. here is what happened

- me and one other girl go sign lease for a 2bed 2bath apt. give the company the name of the others that will be on the lease so they can come in and sign when they get a chance.
- one of the others signed but the other didnt (we will call her M)
-all four of us payed first and last months rent and a security deposit
- M decides that she doesnt want to live with us and lets us know that on June 13th (move in date is June 29th)
-M asks for all her money back. since she didnt sign the lease she didnt have to deal with rental co
-the three of us decided we didnt want to find a stranger to live with us so we would just have 3 people living with us.
- we give M back $800 of the approx $1800 that she paid
- she is now suing me for the other $1000(i am the one who recieved checks and wrote one to rental co.)
deposit = 612 and 2 mo rent = 1200

Do you think she will win in court? Should she have gotten all her money back??

When looking for a new job is it possible/legal to negotiate a larger contribution to my health insurance?

I was told by someone that in NY it is illegal for a company to contribute more than their standard contribution, and this is not a point of negotiation

Several former employees and I have been trying for over a year and a half (more in some cases) to get our 401K distributions to rollover into self-directed IRA or new employer 401K plans. The pension management company keeps saying that they are waiting for - first census data, and then now that they've received that, something else (they were not specific) from our former employer.

I've been in contact with the US Department of Labor, and they have contacted the former employer - who had indicated that they were taking care of the problem - and that we should have a distribution in 3 days - this was a month ago. Followup calls with DOL, they were going to try to contact the former employer.

Isn't there some agency that can force this to happen?
Since we are all 100% vested, can't we force our money to be released?
Can't they face big fines for this?
Finally, if we file a lawsuit, can we file for punitive damages?

Whenever I go out with friends to a mall, etc., I can't just look - I always have to buy something. Whether it's lip gloss, clothes, anything - I just feel like I need it! How can I curb my spending habits and go out and just LOOK? How can I keep track of my spending and what I buy as well? Thanks!

It is my first year in college and i'm still deciding what to take. Its either Licence Vocational Nurse, Physical Therapy Assistant, and Radiologist.
I kind of like to take LVN because many people told me that it's on demand and the pay is high. but schooling takes a while even if its only a two year program. like CNA+2yr pre reqs for me. I can't wait that long and I heard it's stressful when you become a full time in school.
I kind of liked PTA also because it is also a 2 year program. but I heard they are not on demand and it is hard to find a stable job.
I also liked radiologist. I heard that they do more hands on and have a good pay. I am interested in doing xrays and stuff as what i have heard.
What do you think is a good career that pays quite good enough and less stressful?? and also less school work?

...been tasked to put my mother's affairs in order, due to her being bed-ridden & terminal; my father, also her ex-husband, came to live with her, a few months ago, to help her be comfortable, & to handle her affairs. In the midst of attempting to do this, he has been made my mom's Power of Attorney. Unfortunately, my father has repeatedly succumbed to alcoholism (...this has been going on for about 4 years), & in the midst of trying to help my mom, & trying to 'keep clean', he has failed oh-so miserably, & has made himself more of a hinderance, than an asset. At this time, although having become a few days 'straight', he is not mentally capable of handling my mom's affairs. He made made himself a most unreliable element, in this respect....

...in attempting to handle my mom's affairs, is there any way that I can possibly effect any resolution in my mom's affairs, & become her Power of Attorney, in my father's stead?

...getting real frustrated, that I cannot do anything!

However the boss has agreed to give me a positive job reference and he wished me luck in all my future endeavors.

I am fresh out of college as of 6 months ago. I am relocating from the central Illinois area to the suburbs of Chicago. The job oppurtunities are "very good" in the field I am in.

What should I say at my job interview when they start asking me why did I leave my last job? Should I say I got layed off, or should I say that I decided to relocate? I think I have some wiggle room with what I can say at my job interview. What do you guys think?

My father recently became seriously ill from our apartment complex negilgence. The complex sprayed chemicals and painted the downstairs apartment below my father's apartment. They did not fumigate or open any windows after doing this. As a result, these fumes came through our ventilation late at night and sickened my father. He is a heart patient with chronic lung disease. This aggraveted his condition and has put him in the hospital. Do we have a case against this complex and what kind of attorney handles these matters?

break down these high achievers salaries to the equivalent of working at McDonald's, how PO'ed would you be?


All the employees are on salary ... they don't get paid for overtime.

Well, the high achievers often put in an extra 25 hours a week....

My co-worker, who works the bare minimum, actually says to them, "If you were to take your salary and divide it by the number of hours that you work, it would be equivalent to a McDonald's working wage".

Have you ever heard of someone doing this?

I am trying to clean up my credit. I am not familiar with all the credit jargin but here is my question that I need real answers too b/c I can not contact an actual Experian rep and the creditors I speak with fill my head with a bunch of lies so I just want the truth. Ok here is where I am at I have recently disputed items and some of which show that they are on record until Mid 2008 (statuet of Limitations? ) when I spoke with some one I was told that after that date those debts would be removed from my credit history and then I am told that they are still there but I just cant be sued again so which is the truth is it removed or not. Also I have been told that just by contacting them it can start my time all over again which I hope is not true considering I called them before knowing this. Last question I have is some of my debts that I plan to pay are by the same collections agency if I begin to pay on them would it bring those old debts that are soon to be removed back to a beginin
