Personal Finance - December 2007

i live in perth, australia & the week before christmas on my payday i didn't get my pay so i rang my work up & they told me they'd messed up my hours & i'd have to wait till the next week to get my money. Now it's next week & i still haven't got my money. I've been researching to find out if there's any laws or rights but i can't find any, is there anything i can do?? Can i demand my money or do i have to wait for them to pay me when they do it??

I am going on a World Challenge expedition to Norway in July and I need to raise £1225 to go on the trip. but all the things i have thought of sound like they will only make me very small amounts for a lot of effort. cake sales and carol singing and card making for example. Does anyone know how I can raise the money? Got any tips for things they would enjoy going to (quiz nights and pamper evenings for example)?? please help. thanks a lot.

When someone files a lien against you, is that done through a bank, or is it thru the state/local courthouse...etc??

Does filling a lien even have anything to do with a bank really??

I was thinking its all done thru the state or local county agency? Do they even notify banks if you have a lien against you?

Thanks in advance.

I have a sprint account that I CLOSED about 2 months ago. I have until Feb 2nd to pay off the balance of $784. That is what they wrote me a letter stating. NOW I call to pay $300 on the account and supposely it's $850! Because of late fees? IS THIS RIGHT? How can they be charging me late fees if the account is CLOSED?!

I was sent a letter saying that I owed a credit card 2000.22 with a bank I have no recolection of. MBNA from 2001. I would of remembered that bank because it is one of the mainstreem banks. The letter states that they will attach my property, or my paycheck and will get their monies owed. I have no property and I only can physically work a little due to medical problems. Is this letter just a threat. Will they take me to court for 2000.. dollars? To be specific the letter says "you are being sued" Please if any advice on the matter I would appreciate it.

I have student loans to pay. Almost $1000 a month! The total amount I have to pay back is about $70,000.

When my mother passed away, she left me tons of money. That money I will be getting this year. (enough to pay off all of my student loans with).

I THOUGHT that an obvious person with that kind of money would pay off all his bills. But I am being told differently.

What I am being told is to invest the money, save the money, put it in a life savings account and keep it locked away. I am being told that I have a respectable job now and that I can pay the $70,000 off my self. I was told, Once you grow older, there will be a time in your life where I will need that kind of money. To open a shop or to invest in something or to purchase that house?

I want to start doing this 401 K thing and save money, but I can't with these l student loans on my shoulders. But I understand the sense of saving money.

What would you do if you were in my shoes? Pay off your debts? or Save it all?

When a rich person has $50 million or $100 million, why do they still work? When you have that much money, another few million does not matter in living the lifestyle. Either way, it usually can't be spent.

So what is the mentality that makes them work for more money?

I heard that only one can draw their Social Security benefit when they both retire. Is this true? I also was told that some married couples file for divorce but then live together just so they can both get their S.S. retirement benefits.

I put down payment for new house in 2007 ( to be used as primary residence), and the house will be closed in 2008. I will have to still pay additional money as part of the closing.

The question is for tax purposes, can i write down the down payment this year, or do i write down the whole down payment in 2008, which would have combined payments from 2007 and 2008.
