The employees in question either quit or were laid off over a month ago and have not recieved their checks. Is there anything illegal about not sending checks for such a long time? I doubt the owners have any interest in sending them, and this is definately not the first time this has happened.

my boyfriend and i went to the store to pick up a couple of things, we got in line behind a man with a hand full of movies. he handed the cashier a check, because of the type of check it was she was explaining to the man, she had to call a manager over for a code. My boyfriend who was a manager for the company explained to me that the only type of check that needs a security code is a welfare check. Why are people spending their welfare checks on items that are not essential for living, like movies, gameboys, etc.. and roll away in cadillacs? I have noticed when i used to work in a grocery store, people have used thier access cards to buy big sheet cakes for a birthday they were having, soo theyre using money they get from the government on big sheet cakes instead of bread and milk. If they are spending thier money on things like that shouldnt they be working? My tax money is supposed to go towards people who need it not take advantage of it. :-<

I been working at footlocker for a year now and been the stock boy the whole time. I was hired in as a stock guy but they always make me go out to the sales floor and sell sell sell! I feel like im one of the best sellers in the store but everytime i ask my manager I could just sell shoes instead of being the stock ***** he always says " stick in the backroom blah blah blah". What sucks is that my old manager would help me with stock and train me to become a better sales associate. When she left and this dick head came and took over the store he just sticks me into the backroom and makes me do stuff over and over. I have been looking for other jobs but I live in michigan so its not easy to find a job unless you know somebody or you have a degree. What can I do to get my manager to hire someone else as stock guy and I can just sell shoes? He hired to stupid women when he got there and one of the bitches gets more hours then me and the other one quit after 2 weeks. Help me please!!!!

Title says it all.

I talked to the person who rearended me, left the scene, and was later given a DUI (and hit and run).

I told them that I got two estimates on my car, one for 350 and one for 950 (both true, one is for the paint and buff, one is for a brand new part). They said they will not pay me because there is not that much damage to my car.

I said either you can pay me the 350 and I won't show up at court, or you can choose to wait to make me pay (and file a claim with my insurance), and I'll make sure I get the higher estimate and I will show up to court to ensure you get the hit and run tacked on which you wouldn't get if I didn't show.

They said I was threatening them and that they are going to countersue for extortion and threatening them? That doesn't make any sense. Then they had some "lawyer" call me up and say the same thing they said.

Is this legit or what?

In a few months, my child (who is in college) will turn 21 years old.
Indiana Statute basically says once a "child" is 21, support is done. IC 31-16-6-6
My attorney believes I can just stop paying because his interpretation is that the Indiana Statute overrides any judges opinion except for extenuating circumstances.
The Clerks of the court is infactic in saying the only way to do this properly is to petition the court.
So who is right?

A world renowned nobel peace prize winner believes much of the troubles of the world is related to the false assumption that the races are equal. The following is his quote.
"All our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not really"

SO IS THIS THE END OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION?

Alrite today i wuz home alone and was watching tv. so all of a sudden, my doorbell rings and this comcast guy is there and asks me what kind of cable i have. i told him i dont know and he said that he had to check to make sure and if it was legal and if it wasnt he would have to call the cops[i got kinda suspicious of him right there]. im 15 and i wuz home alone so i didnt want to let him in my house so i told him i would show him around back since the dish was outside anyways. so i went to the back door and was surprised there wasnt a cable car anywhere near my home. i asked the cable guy where his car was and he was like "what?". so i asked him what company he worked for and he was like "i work for comcast" n he held up his licenses thingy. So i showed him the dish and he took a couple notes down. then he just thanked for my time and left. I was wondering if i can check w/e he was a real comcast worker or was he planning to rob me or something. all answers welcome

how is it possible that a debt collector can charge up to 100 - 500% more for a debt. Is it even legal for them to do so. I believe that for them to do so it should be agreed by me or I should have some say in the process in which they arrive at their conclusion that I owe so much more than the original amount I owed before being turned over to a debt collector.

I was told that if you called tech support & they outsource the call to India or another country and you can't understand the person you're talking to you can ask for someone in America and they have to transfer you?

I have been having an ongoing battle with HP for MONTHS about them charging me for something and then promising me twice they were refunding the money and then they never send the refund. I called today to talk to someone about it- couldn't understand a word he was saying and asked for an American and he told me "No. I'm not transferring you because I don't desire to and you call to me you talk to me."

This has been going on for MONTHS and they've promised I'd have my refund in 2 weeks and when I call back they say "Oh we never said that.." Who do I complain to and HOW?

...it was my fault. I went to court and pled "no contest." I was a minor at the time, so my father is liable for me. We recently received a lawsuit for injuries from the other driver and the two passengers in the other vehicle. My insurance company, State Farm, notified us that they offered $10,000 for each person (totaling = $30,000) in the other vehicle as an attempt to settle out of court. It was denied. The suit does not state any particular amount of money they are asking for. With $300,000 of liability insurance and $1,000,000 umbrella policy, what do you believe the chances of my family losing any assets are? Our insurance company also stated that their injuries were "skin tissue" injuries. I just want to know what could happen. I really need some peace of mind and reassurance. My mother has been giving me h*ll about it. My father is going to a lawyer for advice, but I'd like to just get an idea on what to expect. I am having a lot of anxiety over this. Please respond.

Larry Craig is the Republican senator from Idaho that got caught by a policeman in some airport bathroom that is famous for gay men going to find random sex partners. First he plead guilty and resigned from the senate. Now he is withdrawing his guilty plea and trying to stay in the senate. He says it was all a big mistake and that he's not gay even though there are lots of men coming out saying they performed for him. Is it really possibly that this is really all a big coincidence and he didn't know what he was doing?
