Business & Finance - 30 December 2007

My understanding is that if a tenant does not pay rent, the next step is to serve a Notice to Pay Rent or Quit onthe tenant. I also understand that it is recommended that the tenant be served in person with this notice and/or be served by Certified mail Return Receipt. The problem is that the tenant has made himself scarce and will not open the door when I go to the property, nor will the tenant sign for the notice that I sent by certified mail.
What would be the next thing to do. Should I go to the court now and file a complaint and begin the eviction proceedings?

I've never had to use an ATM before, so can I use an ATM at, say, a Washington Mutual bank to get money out of my Citibank checking account? I don't think I can do that, but someone else told me that I could... anybody wanna help me out?

This sounds really stupid, but I don't know and I have a job interview tomorrow. They want me to bring proof that I can legally work in the US. I'm over the age of 18, so what do they need?

It's only a 2 year program, no degree required. Why is this? I'd like to become one, but I'd like to have a degree..not just a certificate. I could always major in something, correct?

I have joint legal and physical custody of my son who I get almost 50% of the time. She claims him as a dependent on taxes. Since the "child support" reduces my income by $6000 a year, is there someway I can get a tax credit to help me out? Or is Ron Paul my only hope? :p

So I found out from one of my coworkers that my managers at work have been saying some unflattering things about me. I'm a cashier, and they think I call them up front to help me with things too much. This is my first time working retail, and I've only worked there for a month, so I don't know everything...and if I screw up something with a sale then that's a lost customer. I've been especially paranoid since my manager cornered me one day to tell me that my register was $20 short the last time I worked. I know I didn't take the money, but I still felt like crap.

Also, everyone else working there is really outgoing and will say whatever comes to mind, whereas I'm more reserved around people I don't know that well...I guess they see that as a bad thing. What should I do?

How to predict credit limit change on credit cards?

I have two credit cards . I never missed payments. Usually I would pay off the balance in full. I am wondering how popular credit card companies increase credit limit. DO they double the limit? I am in Australia

Sorry if these questions seem so elementary.

I'm an international student and I was recently convicted of a misdemeanor.

I've been trying to find my criminal record in various background check sites but I can't find my name. I think because I don't have a SSN.
How will a company do a background check for me?

We got married and bought our first home this year. We had both claimed 0 before, but now it is more important to receive more in our paychecks each pay period than worry about receiving large refunds. We both earn around $30k/year, and have no children. We would ideally like to break around even or end up owing slightly. Should we each claim 2?

I want to move to Los Angeles, but I don't plan on visiting before I do. I've been doing a lot of looking on-line for a place to stay, but every place I contact tells me that I'll need to be there in person to sign the application and all that. Is there anyway for me to get an apartment without having to physically be in Los Angeles?

long story but in the end i need to know how to obtain pretty cheap real-legal advise (live in texas). my parents took my old credit cards and racked them up and didn't pay and now i'm being hounded by creditors and my credit, which was perfect, is horrible now. parents are VERY poor already with 6 siblings still living with them and i don't want anything bad to happen to the kids because of my parents' stupid decisions. any ideas? i dont think suing would be the best idea because i'd never get the money since they don't have any.

Many affiliate program requires to submit a W-9 and/or 1099 form.
For example, Incentaclick requires to send a 1099 form.

I am under 17 years old living in the United States. I have my own incentive site, which i pays members for signing up for services.


Can you guys tell me what will happen if i send a W-9 form, (i heard it doesn't affect me, it just a form to prove the company's earning)

How about 1099 form?(i heard that it affect me, i will have to file my taxes)


As i stated, i am under 17 years old. My family is receiving health benefits from the government. I don't want to affect my family benefit. I think that the W-9 form doesn't affect me or my family, and the 1099 form does.

Is there anyway to make my income or me separated from my parents? So it doesn't affect their income and benefits?

Thank You.Please help me

my wife & I bought our home in '06. During the whole process of buying our house a lot of shady stuff was done by agent such as: the agent telling us not to communicate with the seller because I knew her, sayin that (even though the house was old) we could have the house inspected but it wasn't nessecary, & to top it off we student loan that we were told needed to be paid off before closing & closing was two weeks a way. I didnt have the money so we just weren't going to buy, but my agent told us the seller had already put a down payment on her new home & that possibly if we didnt go ahead & buy that the seller could sue us. My agent then told us she would give us the money.($2400 that we had to paid back in $400 incrimintes) So after a few days of thought we accepted.(Now a yr later we find out that my foundation was in horrible shape & will cost $27000 to fix. The seller said nothing was wrong with the foundation in the contract but u can see where work was done. What am i 2 do?
