Law & Ethics - October 2007

My friends daughter was left £109000 by her grandmother, which was put in trust untill she was 21. Her father got in touch on her 21st birthday and started to threaten them with violence if they did not give him the money. The police were not in the least bit helpfull and my friend got so scared for her and her daughters safety that she signed the money over to him. As the daughter was 21 at this time, and legally intitled to the money, she did not know the money was gone untill she went to the solicitor to sign the money into her account, is there anything she can do to get her money back.

when all of us know that every one who is punished by any court will appeal in the supreme court and the trial will begin anew then why not try them in supreme court to begin with so the verdict is final

I recall an era past when if someone was caught in the act of looting during a major disaster such as Hurricane Katrina or now, the S. CA Firestorms, no questions were asked if a miscreant trying to take advantage of such a tragedy was capped on the spot. But given today's climate of "political correctness" at all costs, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that these scum are treated with kid gloves. If I witnessed my home being looted, that SOB would be sorry he was ever born and the heck with what the law says. But does anybody know what the law says???

My neighbor is "disabled" (not really, supposedly it's a problem with her legs and "virtigo", but she plays on the kid's scooter, and plays a mean game of pick up basketball).
She has a 13 year old daughter that is "slow". She's not really disabled, but she rides the short bus to school, if you know what I mean.

They have been without electricity for over 5 weeks. They were "jacking" some from a neighbor, but they got caught and are currently living without.

Should I report her? The kid isn't a baby, but there is no end to this in sight.

Also, who do you report disability fraud to. It just "dawned" on me that it's illegal too.

What do you think?
Leave well enough alone?

After finding out that I got declined for a business credit card, I decided to find out why that was the case by reviewing my credit report, then to my surprise I found out that I have a collections statement on my credit report.
I called the debt collectors office and they said they sent out 14 letters notifying me that I owe a bill from my dental office, however the address they sent those to is my father's address, I don't live with him and I have never lived with him so why are they sending it there? My father has not even contacted me to tell me I owe a bill or they are trying to contact me. The dental office has my address and phone number so why didnt they contact me and why didnt the debt collector contact me before putting a collection statement on my credit report is that legal?

I did move however I still had my old cell number up until last year and I had all my mail from my old address forwarded to my new address so what happened? The collections attorney said they are filing a lawsuit in a couple of days if I dont pay them, I asked him well how can I pay and how can this end up on my report if I never recieved a bill or any notification, about a bill to begin with. I spoke to my father and he said he made a payment to them and he agreed that he will pay monthly until the bill is paid up but he stopped apparently, I had no idea about this either until today. I have to wait until thurs. to speak to a woman in charge of billing who won't be in the dental office until thursday.

Is this my fault and should this be on my credit report if they made an agreement with my father and notified him, instead of notifying me as the patient??

So, I recently got a job at Cinemark. They hired me, and I was doing orientation. Near the end of orientation, they found out I'm 15. So basically I got fired for not being 16. The age limit for minors to work in my state is 14. I was not aware of Cinemark's company policy to not hire below 16. This policy was not brought to my attention, nor was it on the application. I did not lie at anytime during the hiring process. It was there fault for not calculating my age from the birthday I provided them. Plus I'm not being paid for the hours I did for orientation. Is there anything I can do about this?

These are a few instances I can think of. *Coming in to work when a dr. said I could lay out for a back problem and forced to hand load a tractor trailer.*Asking for help with my job but never recieving.*Being cheated out of time = $ when the other same color guy got his time. The latest cost me my job. I'm a Korean-American male. I work in a predominately black and white company. I'm basically the only guy in my department and I always get pulled off my job to help someone else. The supervisor told me to get in the trailer and help load. I told him I had a lot of work and didn't have time to do it if I do. Forced me to then told him I had to go because of other matters. I stayed 30 extra minutes then had to go. Ask the sup. to help again he lied to me. I left and he said I was abandoning my job. I lost my job over it but other guys have done the same and nothing was done to them. I have a union job but fear that I will get harassed Should I contact the EEOC?

Another instance is found in the bill of rights I believe that no person can be jailed for owing a debt, so why are so many people jailed for child support and IRS debt? Please elaborate.

I bought a car in August of 06 from what I have found out is a piss-poor dealership. Anyway, I did not have good credit, and no co-signer. But I have an excellent income, so the dealership decided they would finance me. I admit, I bought the car on a whim. I now wish I didn't, although I love my car. Anyway, I have been paying $436.50 a month on this vehicle. Never late. I mail checks, there has never been a bounced check. Payments have been 100% satisfied for a year now. The other day I got a call from the dealership stating there was a cancellation on my car insurance, which was not true. What had happened was they changed their address and it was time for my insurance to renew so the renewal never got sent to the dealership. But I contacted my broker who called the dealership and verified I have never had a lapse in coverage. The next day the dealership called me back and asked me to bring my car in and update my records as they were remodeling their business and turning
