I’m located in the Los Angeles (Antelope Valley Area)
I tried really hard to sell my home to no avail. Now my payments are just too much to afford. I tried contacting my lender to get a hardship because my Mom passed away. They did not care. I was told to sell everything. At this point short sell aren’t selling in my area I am considering a foreclosure.

What are the consequences of a foreclosure? I paid my adjusted payment for one year and there going up again. My home was worth 450000 now buyers can buy the same home with lots of perks and upgrades for 200000.

With a foreclosure do I still pay taxes and homeowner insurance until the foreclosure is final?

Will the mortgage collection people call my job. I hear they show no mercy.

How long will a foreclosure and judgment stay on the credit?

I have never met a Director/VP/CEO level person who isn't in love with the idea that each person in the building must wear a name tag. What's the big deal? Chances are, people who work with each other know their co-workers' names. Is it to save the VP from embarassment because he/she doesn't know everyone's name? Don't they have more important stuff to worry with?

I went to lunch today and got a southern style chicken sandwich from McDonalds, took a bite and realized that the chicken was completely raw.

Now I don’t have lots of money, how much would it cost to try to sue McDonalds!

Does anyone know of a lawyer that would take on a case probono?

Now that the "baby boomers" have started to collect social security money (and as everyone knows--the money coming in from the current generation pays the money for the taking out generation--it is not invested at all)--will younger people like myself ever ACTUALLY get social security money back come retirement time? Or will the government just pass out iou notes or just plain say that you won't see your money?

I know its all speculation, but I was just wondering what other people think about this.

So I just got my status from Mass as per my Unemployment Insurance and my old company has me listed as a voluntary quit. I called and asked how they classify these things and the HR person got snitty with me and threatened me vaguely, that I didn't want them to change it and that I'd do best to leave it as voluntary quit due to a relocation if I wanted to get a good reference from them.

Well, Unemployment called today and I gave them all the particulars of my leaving. But now I'm worried that they'll call my old company and decide in my favor and as retaliation my old company will tell people I was terminated and give me a bad reference.

Is there any way I can just call Mass Unemployment and tell them it's not worth it to me? I need to be able to get a new job more than I need 6 months of UI and the HR department of my old job on a vendetta against me.

We are trying to clean up our credit scores and are about to come into some money. We know we need to pay off some debt, but are unsure whether to pay off old delinquency's or if it is better to use that money to pay off my current credit cards. My credit score is fine, but I don't like having any debt. His credit score is not very good at all, but I'm not sure how much paying off the old delienquency will help.

Really.. my work is pretty boring lately. I had high hopes when I joined the firm but now i feel like I am totally overqualified or atleast this job is pretty easy and repetitive. I am not challenged enough. I have already told my boss about my frustration. She said that she would give me better challenging jobs until they find an analyst to do the stuff that I am doing. I do not trust them though and also I know that it is a time delaying tricks that they are playing. Its very difficult to find people with my skills in the market and so I know that they need me. What shall I do to move to a role that has more visibility and is challenging? Any ideas or if anyone has gone through this..I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!
