I know it may sound od,but I'm not from USA and I just did as adviced....
Somebody told me that I shouldn't worry about doing the taxes,working as a dancer.
Now I've found out that it DID matter and I need to file my taxes,just like other people even though I work as a exotic dancer.
I would have been done it in the first place,but like I said...I'm not from here.
If I ask my supervisor for my past tax papers,are he gonna have the one from other past years as well?

When are the taxes due?



Thanks from someone who's trying to "clean up" her financials!

Two months ago I moved into an apartment style condominium. The units have baseboard heat and a common boiler. Since I have been here, the heat has gone out 5 or 6 times. It is usually back on in about 24 hours. I live in a northern state and it's been cold enough to need heat pretty much since I've been here. I called the owner of the condo the first time it went out because I wasn't sure what the problem was, but now I see this is a regular occurance and I assume he has some knowledge of the situation. I would like to start planning a course of action. Should I call him each time the heat goes out? Should I call the city? Should I ignore the problem? I have purchased a space heater to get me by when the heat is out. And I use the electric oven to heat other parts of the apartment. Anyway..any advice?

Yesterday my boyfriend and I went to carphone warehouse to upgrade his phone. The guy that served us was really pushy and was rushing through everything and not giving us a chance to think. He convinced my boyfriend to start a new contract. He put the credit check through and he said it would take a while. Whilst we were waiting I realised that he hadn't asked for our address but the guy said there system was all up to date and he had photocopied my boyfriend driving licence as ID so we assumed he had checked the address. The credit check passed and my boyfriend was just about to sign the contract but realised it had his old address on. The guy said that's ok we'll just credit check you again on your new address! I told him not to and explained that every time he credit checked us he was lowering our credit score and he just credit checked my boyfriend on an address that he didn't live at so really that is fraud! We didn't let him credit check us again.

What should I do now?

I have several items on my credit report that the credit bureaus will not remove after I have submitted proof? How does a person take these credit bureaus to small claims court to recover damages and change (remove) bad items from the credit report? Do I need an expensive lawyer or can this be done by a layperson? What is the cost of this and I live in California, USA? Thanks

i just think that if people go bankrupt they should still pay something towards there debt even if its a small amount. At the end of the day they got themself in that postion and should still pay at least something. Anyone agree or disagree?

I was watching breakfast tv this morning, and I was shocked to see the interest rates charged by stores compared to credit cards.Do you use store cards? I had one in the past but paid it off, then cut the card up.It would be so easy to get into a financial mess with these cards.The staff at the stores are always trying to get me to have one, but I refuse.Have you ever ran up huge debts with a store card? Did you manage to pay it off?

She kind of acted like she was trying not to tell me that i was already hired! for example she said " we will call you, i mean we are calling people back tomorrow to tell who got a job" i cant wait untill tomorrow! lol how do i know if she truley liked me, or if she was fake. i also answered questions promptly and well, i was very prepared.

We have checked out several, most of them want your money and later after they send you all of the books n' stuff, they expect you to send them more money. We are not looking to make millions as some promise. Does anybody have any good web sites you can refer me to. Please remember, I can't afford to invest too much money and no scams.

A friend of mine inherited about $200,000 a couple of years ago and he put it into the bank to get some percent of interest (about 5% according to him).

Now he wants to buy a $200,000 Ferrari to fulfill his dream. He believes that he doesn't need the money at some point in the future, and if he is in luck he will be able to sell the Ferrari anyway at a later point. This question is not about to buy the Ferrari or not. Also, other cost like insurance, gas, repairs don't really matter in this question.

Having the money in the bank, is it better for him to cash it out and buy the Ferarri, or keep his investment running and take a loan for the car?

I can't give him advise, and he also doesn't know anything about financing. His bank told him he could get a loan backed with his investments and the car itself. By doing it this way, he may still earn interest while having his car.

Is this basically all there is to it or are there other things to consider to make a decision?

I have a friend who works in sales. He has worked on a deal for the past 6 months and customer has confirmed the deal will be done next week. However boss ask him to leave this week. Thus he will not get the commission. What recourse does he have to get the commission that is rightfully his? He works in singapore.

Any one has such experiences or possible solutions?
