Personal Finance - August 2006

I have never used my debit card / atm card for a purchase. I only use it to access my bank account. I find out today, that about a week ago my debit card was used to purchase three tanks of gas in an area in my county that I am never near. How could someone have gotten my debit card number? Isn't a pin needed to use it?

I recently got an apartment and had to provide my bank account number to the brokers (one of whom was Remax). Could they have somehow accessed my account?

Last year I got a tax return jointly, my husband (we are separated for over a year now) always had me sign stuff to deposit it cause he was an over the road truck driver. We weren't getting along but still living together...I can't remember if I signed his name or just deposited it writing "for deposit only." I did not "cash" the check, I deposited into my joint account with him. Did I do anything illegal? He says he will call the IRS and get me in trouble now...can he?

Most people make transactions by cash at shops eventhough they have credit or debit cards. Making transactions trough credit cards is much more easier compared to cash payments. Then why do people prefer using cash payments at shops?

3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM
IS $30, SO
EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM.

A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS
ONLY $25,

SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH $5. ON
THE WAY THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW
TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY

BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF.


THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL
OF$27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29.

WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?

I consulted an attorney re: filing a chap 7 and was told it may not be a good idea based on the value of my home. They used the website Zillow.com to get the estimated value of my property. My property was given a range of $303k to $390k, with a estimate of $349k. This value would put me over the CA equity exemption amount of $75k. Is this a reliable valuation? I am hoping to avoid the trustee questioning the value and forcing me to sell my home to pay off debts. Any suggestions on where to get a value that can be used? County tax assessed value? The assessed value is considerably lower than the value found on Zillow. Appraiser? I don't have the cash to dish out for an appraisal but would rather be safe than sorry. Also, another attorney said that the value of my home shouldn't have changed much since I purchased a year ago and that we could use the purchase price. I get the feeling he's misleading me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
