In terms of a mortgage loan, what will the bank call to verify? They can't ask how much the salary is, can they?
I was thinking it would consist of Job Title and duties & Length of employment. Can anyone elaborate on this in detail?

My phone is £35 a month, i was in a job and i was going to use my last wages to pay the bill. However my employer hasn't paid me and 2 direct debits have bounced. My bank has charged me a penalty for the last one bouncing at £38. my next bill is due in a few days so another £38 will be added to my negative balance to that. My account shouldn't be able to go into red as its a easycash debit card. I'm on state benefits till my next job(£45 a week). I won't however have any money for a few weeks time. How can i get out of this debt and how can my bank charge me £38 just for a bounced direct debit?

My boyfriend and I were talked into a timeshare a few months ago even though Im pregnant and I have to get rid of it before I waste money we don't have. I have only owned for a few months and haven't made any payments on it yet so selling it for half price doesn't seem like a option. Help!

My employer just deducted 8 hours from my paycheck, and when asked about it, they said it was because they paid me erroneously for Christmas last year 2006 (aka "Holiday Pay"). It's now November 2007, and I'm wondering how long an employer has to "correct" this type of mistake.

I've been assigned a huge project at work that's going to take a lot of time and effort on my part; and I feel like, if making what I'm making now, I'll be under-compensated. I was just wondering if $1.12 an hour is too big of a raise to ask for. I don't want to look like an idiot when I talk to my boss about it.

For example UofX has a $125 application processing fee. Are these tax deductible? They can add up when applying to 3 or 4 schools.

I am looking into moving into a bigger apartment in the same complex I have lived in for 2 years. When I spoke with the renal lady about this, she said that I would have to pay a $130 "amenity fee" and some other small fee again. Essentially, I paid this fee already when I first moved in. I heard from a girl who used to work for apartment complexes that they aren't supposed to charge residents for these fees twice like that. Deposit fees and application fees are different...I expect to have to pay those again. But what about these other one-time, non-refundable fees?

I purchased a 23 acre piece of land a month ago without the help of a real estate agent. We signed the papers and paid the money to a title company where the deed is being prepared. We have since found out the property we purchased is in the floodway and cannot be built on like we had intended. Is there a way to get our money back? The seller owned this property for more than 20 years and knew it was in the floodway but never disclosed this information to us even though we told him many times what our plans for the land were. Are we out of luck or is there something that can be done to remedy this situation?

Im 19 I just got my first credit card. I have an 1000 limit and I spent 800. I had to get new stuff for my apartment. It wasnt mindless spending. I was going to pay it off as I got paid. $200 increments. Well I dont get paid by check till next thursday and my bill was due on the 30th. I asked my bf to let me get the money he owed me so I could at least pay the minimum. I was 3 short. and I had a direct deposit coming on the 31st for $100. He didnt want to go to the bank so he said just pay them when I get paid. But then I said it will be late, then he said all credit cards have a grace period. I didnt even read up on that part when I got it, because I did not plan to make late payments in the first place!!! Well I thought ok hes had credit longer than me so he would know. I just checked my account and now I have a $40 late fee!!! I just paid, but still. I feel like his debt and laziness put me into this problem. It just so happens when my billl is due, I havent been paid yet.

Recently i met this buddy of mine who convinced me to invest in a company called tahitian noni. he claimed to have even bigger sales than most companies and is the third fastest growing company in the world, ahead of heavyweights like intel and microsoft. does anybody know about this company? Is it a fraud or the real deal. It's still private so it's not in the stock market yet. help me

4options I know I can do... and is easy

CD at about 4-5%

Money Market 4-5%

Savings- not a investment

Bonds(bank)- no not enough return



Tax Liens Certificates- I am looking into trying this but first I have to research it and study it more.

Real estate- don't have the assets and money to rent a house out.

Stocks- Not enough info and dont know anybody to make educated decision

Real Estate Investment Trusts- maybe, got to look into that better

what should I invest in?

if you know some good info of how you buy tax Lien Certificates and you have a real good website to see the one's in any area or just have a few good tips for me that would be great.

thankyou

New Credit Card Scam Snopes.com says this is true. See this site -
http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/creditcard.asp
This one is pretty slick since they provide YOU with all the information, except the one piece they want. Note, the callers do not ask for your card number; they already have it. This information is worth reading. By understanding how the VISA & MasterCard Telephone Credit Card Scam works, you'll be better prepared to protect yourself.
One of our employees was called on Wednesday rom "VISA", and I was called on Thursday from "Master Card". The scam works like this: Person calling says, "This is (name), and I'm calling from the Security and Fraud Department at VISA. My badge number is 12460. Your card has been flagged for an unusual purchase pattern, and I'm calling to verify. This would be on your VISA card which was issued by ( name of bank).

I have had nothing but issues that have almost cost me my business due to bad employees, either stealing from me, lying to me, or doing or saying the wrong things to customers. The issues seem to be resolved now but how do I hire better in the future?
