I really want a job as a host or a server for Olive Harden. The application I picked up says that they are welcome, but not in lieu of an application. I do plan on filling out the whole application. I was wondering of it would be a good move to include a cover letter and resume? I've only had one other job and I don't want to over do it so I annoy the people that's going to be interviewing me.

Suggestions? Any help is appreciated!

Hello, Right now I am not married. I have a fiance and will be a new mommy in May. If we get married oct 2008, i have questions about my taxes. First, is there a tax refund for being married? he said something about getting an extra 1,500 dollars back for being married. What about our child? do we get extra money for that? My soon to be husband makes 35,000 a year. Right now I made zero. When we are married I will probably be working but would not be making more than 30,000 a year probably. Please let me know what is up with tax refunds when you have a child and are married. If i don't work can he claim me as a dependent and get money back for that?

An acquaintance tried to refinance but couldn't because the appraisal of the residence came in too low. A factor was two houses (next door and across the street) were distressed sales, meaning they were foreclosed and sold at auction well below the price the other houses in the market were selling. I am talking about 30% lower. In one of the cases, the owner of the house rented to a group of young men who were making amateur porn and fight videos inside the house, and they totally trashed it. They eventually walked away without paying rent, leaving the owner holding the bag, who also just walked away. In the other case, a couple divorced, and neither could manage the payments on an ARM, and there the Bank also foreclosed.

Is it standard practice within the appraisal industry to factor in these distressed sales when determining values?

How will our baby's arrival affect our tax status?
You can claim a new dependent on your income tax form. (It's best to get your baby a Social Security number as soon as possible after birth.) What's more, you'll be eligible for a child credit and possibly a childcare credit.

I found that on babycenter.com. What are those?

I'm a realtor that has had my income cut to less than half. Here's my current situation. My home is the biggest problem.

I own a home that I owe $400K on. It is worth about $440K at best. I owe the IRS about $16K. Half of which is over 3 yrs old. That is the only amount (the 3 yr+ old amount) I can put into Ch 7 BK. I owe about $12K in credit cards that are past due. I'm 2 mos behind on my car payment so I know they're going to come get it soon. I am working now in sales but don't clear enough to pay all my bills. I'm putting my house on the market this month, but the market stinks so I do not expect it to sell before they'll foreclose. I'm thinking of moving out and renting a place and trying to sell my home, but if I can't then I am considering filing Ch. 7 BK. My income for the year is under 40K. I have no other assets. Does this sound like my only option- try to sell the home & file Ch.7 BK if it does not sell? I am also trying to rent my home. Thanks in advance.

My managers have decided to sack everyone in Jan!

One of the managers could not bear to tell us so he left early and claimed that he was going to work from home.

Another manager called me out, then hit me with that.

I then said is there nothing we can do?

We are telephone medical bill collectors, I even said I will make the branch progress.

He is an operations manager, but is always working from home and saying that we are not performing and making money.

He said that he will tell the rest of the staff on Monday, we break up for Christmas the following Friday! NICE!

The manager has told me not to say anything.. but I dont think it is far, I feel sorry for everyone, one girl is pregnant and thinks she will get full maternity. Another is a single mother who has to pay nursery fees, another chap has a pregnant wife who is due in January.

What do you think of this scenario?

I need legal advice on how to handle a debt problem. I owe $10,000 to 3 USA credit cards each, so a total of $30,000. I am broke, but according to all the lawyers that I have consulted (all of them belong to the California American Board of Certification, the national certification board for bankruptcy, or the ones rated on the Best bureau Business,) tell me that I can file for bankruptcy, but the judge will not allow the debts to be discharged (Is a long story and all the lawyers ask me why and once I explained them, they agree that is not advisable).
I have lived a hell suffering because I think is not ethical to avoid paying, but I am broke, my plan was not to do this, they offered me credit cards with balance transfer and I used them as a way to borrow money while I was solving my problems here, but things did not worked the way I planned and suddenly I cannot obtain more balance transfers and the debt is there but I am broke.
So, I am not looking for a lawyer to file bankruptcy, I am looking for a lawyer that answers my questions that I will have through the collecting and suing process.
I am Mexican, I have lived in Mexico the last 7 seven years of my life. I do not have any assets in the US nor in Mexico or anywhere, I do not have any assets at all.

The same lawyers that I have contacted, I have asked them for a legal consultation, but, they do not offer that, some of them have suggested me to look for a lawyer with practice in the debt collect law. So, my first question is where to look for a reliable lawyer. The questions that I have right now for this lawyer are below, just in case you want to give your opinion if have had any experience on this.

What happens if I answer the call and tell them that I will not pay them?

If I tell them that I do not have any asset in the USA?

And I am not living in the USA?

And I am broke?

I am not American (this may cause that the bank send a notice to migration)?

They may find out that I have some relation with that address in California is that a problem for the people that live there?

Are they ever going to go the California address?

They may find out my address in Mexico, is that a problem?

If in the future I want to go to the USA, Will migration sends me to jail or does not allow me to be there?

How long does it take from the initial of collecting until the release of charges from being sued?

What happen if they sue me?

We have a complicated situation. We live in a duplex, never signed a lease, never gave a security deposit, we pay rent every month and thats that. They were friends of ours. Now we are moving out (we gave over 30 days notice) and we have til the end of the month, but the landlords (him and his daughter) want to show the house while we are still living here. I dont object except for i have pets (which i was allowed). 3 dogs, a cat, 3 ferrets and 3 rats. They want me to take all the animals somwhere every time they show the house, and for us not to be there. I dont think this is fair. I said I would fix any damages made to the house before we leave, clean carpets and paint, (we dont have the money right this moment) and we plan to, but there is no point in doing it now when our animals will still live here and we will have to redo everything again before we leave because of the animals. We can not move into our new house until the 1st, its only the 12th now. What do I do?
