My payday is on Friday. I have direct deposit to my bank in Texas, (I live in Ohio) it's my bill paying account. It has really good benefits, that's why I use it. I have a local bank here in Ohio for spending money. So when I got to work last Friday, there was a sign up saying no one got their direct deposit, which I figured out when I called to listen to my bank info on the way to work. So we were given checks, and not till like 10am. So now I had to put the checks in the ohio account and wait for them to clear, which probably won't be until tomorrow. Meanwhile I had automatic payments (3 of them) scheduled to come out of the Texas account Friday. I will be hit with double fees from my bank, plus the payee.

Should my employer be responsible for reimbursing me the fees because this was as a result of the company's error?

Are they legally obligated to since I have had direct deposit for years?

Is it worth the trouble, or just a waste of my time, & cut my losses?

What if the person seriously has no money, and owes a loan company thousands? How can they sue you for money you don't have? Can you go to jail?

The United States is the only advanced, industrial democracy that lacks universal health insurance. Why do you suppose this is so?

This is assuming that you don't have time to get your affairs in order. Do they just throw all your stuff away? I was just wondering. Thanks.

Other countries negotiate with Pharmaceutical companies so that there are limits on the amount the Pharmaceutical Companies can charge. Since we don't have such limits in our country, are pharmaceutical companies charging us more than they otherwise would if they didn't have price controls in other countries?

To put it simply, do we pay more so that they can pay less?

I am a Liberal. And I cringe, at the fact that we could end
up with a certified Mormon, in the White House. Would
you guys rather bend over backwards, for a chance at
Conservative immortality, or extreme fascism, just to
have your own true beliefs, altered by a religious cult.
That is planning on thwarting out Christianity in the end.
And has tried to do so, since the days of J Smith.
Who said that the Garden of Eden, is in the state of
Missouri ! Gimme a break ! Don't do it. I beg thee.
The Republican Party has lost its integrity, and honor.
There is no hope. America can not deal with any more
of this debauchery. And oh by the way, us Libs, do go to
church, and believe in the gift of the HOLY GHOST.
But this current ensamble cast of degenerates, have no
place in power. Vote Democrats in '08. Oh and after this
next scandal, you will. I promise you that....
Should Romney be president ? Best answer wins. ~~~

Hi,

To make a long story short. A collection agency started to communicate with me in November 2007 about an open balance with a doctors office back in November 2001. Since 2005 that doctors office company was bought by another one. All my doctors are still the same. I just called my current doctors office and they are telling me that I do NOT have any open balance.

So what do I do? Also, is it legal for a collection agency to claim a balance due 6 years ago? The balance is for $180. I also contacted my insurance company and they can't go back on their records at that date.

So currently, I have nothing to prove... or do I ?

Thanks

Despite serious accusations of Gang Rape, the government refuses to hold an investigation.

Is this America?

My sister has a great idea for a celebrity doll, and she makes her own "customized" dolls all the time that are very professional looking.
She wants to mail one out to this celebrity or to their company as a prototype. I'm worried that they will see it and take her idea. Should she get a copyright or some form of legal work done before she mails a prototype?
Also, where should she mail it to? The celebrity's managment company?
Any legal advice would be great
Thanks

Trying to imagine the resounding sound of laughter around the world should the Republican Party nominate a preacher sketchier than Revs Ike, Swaggart, Haggart, and Sharpton all rolled into one.

INDY JOE a lifelong Democrat until going independent and winning his senate seat in Connecticut just endorsed John McCain. (The best qualified candidate). I think McCain and Indy Joe would be a great ticket in '08

A true waste of your vote is a vote against your liberty and freedom! A true wasted vote is one that strips the people’s constitution! Ron Paul is the only one today preaching limited government, with the voting record to back it up, and a return to liberty and economic sense!
