Does anyone know if a payday loan company can sue your employer under section 18 USC § 1029 for using your employers IP address? My employer doesn't mind us using the internet during lunch time and that's when I applied for a loan. I have been unable to pay my loan back. It's for $820.00 and had to since close my checking account because of all of the fees that I was incurring so that I can get back on track but now the loan company is saying that they I used fradulant information to get the loan ( I did not) and they can sue my company. Does anyone know about Nationwide Cash? Is this possible?

I was in a car accident 5 years ago, I got rear-ended very badly. I had whiplash and a small fracture on my neck-bone from the whiplash. Well, 2 years after the accident, i noticed my left shoulder blade became extremely sore and basically puts me in chronic pain. Then two years after that, my left hip-bone area began having the same feeling as my shoulder blade. I'm only 22, female, and what helps subside these feelings is strength training excercise - but it doesn't 'fix' my problem. However, we settled with the insurance company back then BECAUSE I had no symptoms of severe pain like I do today; the pain came much later as I have described. Are you able to still sue after an incident from 5 years prior? AND since I settled with my insurance company, will I be able to sue the girl who rear ended me for my bodies phsical damages? I need advice please.

Among other things, my ex boyfriend threatened me after we broke up, impersonated me to have things like utilities and my cell phone shut off and continuously called harrassing me after we broke up. I finally had to change phone numbers and email addresses. He is now in prison on a parole violation (surprise to me) and is continuing to contact my friends, family, etc. and have his family call me. Can I get a restraining order? What is the process since he is in prison and can't appear in court? I don't want to have to face him in court to get one.

June 1st was my last day from job A and I finished moving 3 hours north to my new home after work. We left on OK terms. He was kind of upset I was leaving bc I was a good employee. Regardless, I started a new full time job B on the following Monday, June 4th. I was doing very well there until I was terminated bc someone stole $300 from my bank. Two weeks later, they were terminated after they caught them red handed. The day I got terminated from Job B, I filed unemployment. Because I got fired they had to investigate it, and two weeks ago got a statement saying that my determination from Job B is granting me benefits, however it was being held bc of another issue, which ended up being Job A. Now, today I get a letter in the mail saying Im not getting benefits because I moved and had to quit job A. Which really confuses me because that isn't the reason I had to file unemployment in the first place. Someone please explain to me why this is happening and what I can do to appeal it.

Bush caused human suffering and death. why the public media doesn't cover this news to death rather than Vick, Bush is more of a public figure or Vick. Bush needs to be prosecuted and punished. what he did is a million times more serious than what Vick has done. i am sure many dogs have been killed in Iraq too if that what takes us to accuse Bush for a crime! don't respond emotionally but rationally

This is going to sound horrible and evil and stuff, but I am dying to know. Before you ask, I do not, nor ever will, own livestock-type animals.
Here is my question: Is it illegal if someone outside of a farm buys a live animal and kills it for food? For example, if you buy a live chicken and kill it, is this animal abuse? Like I said before, I AM NOT PLANNING TO DO THIS. I DO NOT, AND NEVER WILL, OWN LIVESTOCK. I am just curious to how the law for this works.

I have a question about posting pictures on the internet, and I've had a fight with someone about it.
On a forum that I belong to, there is a picture posting thread where you are supposed to post your picture.
One of the members is under 18 and posted a picture of him AND his girlfriend, without the permission of the girl.
I confronted him to tell him that you need the permission of the person to get their picture posted.
He gave the quick and easy answer and said that it was "His" girlfriend, and he can do whatever he wants with the picture.
He then preceded to call me stupid.
I hope that you guys can help me clear this up.
Thanks.

My thirteen year old son's mother left in the spring to be with her boyfriend and I now have custody of our son. When she left she said she was going to come down every other weekend to see him. I feel she is now wanting me to bring him halfway on Friday and then pick him up half way on Sunday. This would be ten hours of travel for me every other weekend. I have another small child and have had back problems/surgery in my history and do get back pain when I drive long distance. Can the court make me do this? I feel I am taking care of my son and provide a home, she left and has no other children so she should do the driving. Does anyone know what the law would say? We live in Vermont.

My brother is building a new home on his property. His old one is literally falling down and won't last much longer. When he went to get a permit to put in a new septic tank (not allowed to use the old one), he was told he need to have some scientist perform some tests because the previous owner had dug out some of the bank beside the house. He paid over $500 dollars to have this done. The scientists told him they thought there would not be a problem but would not give an official OK. He is now being told he needs another scientist from Nashville to come in and do some tests. This will cost him another $500 to $1000 with no guarantee of results. My brother lives in southeast TN and is very poor. All he wants is a plan simple safe place for his family to live but he seems to be getting the run around. What can he do?

I went to my county courthouse today thinking that I could get a copy of previous sales agreements/contracts of people who have owned my home before me. Unfortunately, all they have are copies of deeds and mortgages. My problem is that I need to know who was living in my house when there was a fire here, and if the previous owner (before me) knew about it, because I was not told about it myself. Do you know of any place I can get this information?? I have no problem paying for it. I just can't seem to get what I need. If it's any help, I live in Ocean County, NJ - Toms River to be exact.
Thanks so much!!

Personally i haven't fallen victim to one but they have tried to get me multiple times through continuous emails and a few attempts scamming me on ebay (recently they tried twice to get me to ship a PS3 to a Nigerian address by sending me fake emails claiming that i had recieved a paypal payment - I'm sure they fooled alot of people with them).

20/20 recently did a study - and found over 100 million dollars had been successfully stolen over the last year.

Should the US quit sending aid to Nigeria until their government takes a more serious approach?

Does our government need stricter laws or more focus on enforcement?

Should Americans simply quit buying Nigerian products or going there on vacation?

What do you think is the best approach?
