...In Canada, once you work for your employer for 1 year, you are entitled to 2 weeks paid holidays. Basically it 4% of your income over that year, paid out before or after your holiday.
After working for the same employer 5 years, you're entitled to 3 weeks paid holiday time. After working 10 years, you're entitled to 5 weeks paid holidays.
I've just completed 10 years this summer, so I'm taking 3 weeks now, and 2 weeks at Christmas time. I did live in the States many years ago, and nothing like this existed. Has the US initiated any sort of holiday plan similar to this, on a State or Federal level?

USA...Greatest economy in the history of the world.
******************************...
Man, what country with the initials USA do YOU live in. The one I live in, commonly referred to as America, has never provided me or anyone else I can think of an incentive to work. My incentive came from within myself.
There are millions, though, who do have incentives to be lazy. They collect welfare, food stamps, and (usually illegitimate) child credit. And they are rewarded with more welfare for each additional child they irresponsibly bring into this world.
You need a serious reality check, dude.
Oh, and to answer your question, as someone else said, there is no national policy. Each employer sets their own, and it varies greatly.
Actually, my company has that. Two weeks after a year of employment, 3 weeks after 5 years, 5 weeks after 10 years. My husband's company has the same policy. He's coming up on his 10 year anniversary there too! We both work for private companies, by the way.
No. We still remain non-socialistic.
Well, when I reached Vice President at the Bank I worked for, I got 5 weeks a year. I had worked for them about 3 years before becoming VP.
I don't know what Government jobs have in place in the US...
It differs by company. At my company you get 2 weeks until your 7th year of employment, then 3 weeks until your 15th year of employment. I don't know if they ever give out more than 4 weeks. The U.S. is far behind other countries in terms of vacation time.
the employer decides what the vacation policy will be. typically it's a couple weeks paid leave in the first through five years. it goes up to three weeks for five to ten years of service and at the ten year mark you usually get five weeks of paid leave. the business must compete. some employers offer more vacation time to lure workers. each deal is negotiated differently. even within the same company, a manager has the authority to offer the candidate a week or two extra pay to take the job.
I'm not aware of an official policy, but many companies have plans like that. Some of the more successful high-tech firms have had six-week 'sabaticals,' as well, on top of vacations - though the one I work for ended that practice before I came on board.
Our country gives incentives to work, not incentives to be lazy.
It varies with each company - with mine, it's 10 days for new employees which is pro-rated depending on what time of the year you were hired. And that is in effect 90 days after your date of hire. Year 3 they bump you up to 3 weeks; year 12 it's 4 weeks. This excludes national holidays, and personal/sick days
From the day I started I began earning paid time off for whatever days I wanted, up to three weeks a year. In addition to that, I get two weeks of holidays for days the office is closed (Christmas, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, etc)
Sooo... a total of five paid weeks off every year. And that's as an hourly employee who is new at the company.
There isn't a law about it in the US. Most companies do give at least two weeks off per year. (If they didn't, then most people wouldn't want to work there.) But some people would rather have less time off, and get paid more, and in the US, companies have the freedom to let them do that. Because our government doesn't force its will on businesses like they do in tyrannical communist and socialist countries like Canada.
There's no universal policy.
It varies from employer to employer.

Im confused is everything cleared?
i missed my court date on the 31st if i have a warrant bc of that and i go ahead and pay the fine will i be ok? will the warrant go away?
Answers:
Ask the court on what to do with your failure to attend the court order. You will more or less be meted a fine and you have to pay for it. You can be excused if you have a valid reason.
Ok, I found out that if you miss your court date:
1) they issue an arrest warrant;
2) they charge you with a new misdemeanor crime
3) they place a hold on your driver's license. The hold on your license then results in a DMV suspension of the license.
The new misdemeanor FTA charge carries possible jail time, and if you are convicted of the misdemeanor, it will remain visible on a background check for years to come.
Also because of the new charge, the bail amount (or full value fine amount) on the case increases substantially.
In order to solve the problem, it is necessary to address all three aspects.
Depending on the nature of the offense -- yes, in many cases paying the fine will resolve the issue.
Sometimes there is an additional penalty for paying it after the scheduled hearing, so check the ticket for details.
And if paying the fine doesn't resolve the problem, they should notify you.

Im claiming bank charges back what does the test case mean and can i still claim?
Answers:
Yes you can still put in a claim, but unless you can prove hardship your claim will be held up until the outcome of the test case.
If you think you have a claim you need to start now so that you don't lose out.
You can still make a claim but your bank will now hold this claim untill after the court case before making any payment, amount of payment will depend on the outcome of the case
Go ahead and claim. You have nothing to lose.
Get a template letter off the internet..just type in "reclaiming bank charges" and there are a few sites with info and template letters.
The test case is just one claim and the Banks are contesting it. If the banks win this test case then there will be no compensation. If they lose then every person with a "valid" claim will get the compensation. You should still put your claim in to ensure that it is on the record. Send it recorded delivery and keep a copy in a safe place. Best of luck.
You can try, but the result of the court ruling may mean thatyour bank will go to court and win, Try Martin Lewis's site for up to date, financial advice!
www.moneysavingexpert.com
have a look on GM TV website (www.gm.tv i think) - their financial expert Martin Lewis, tells you all about reclaiming your charges..and i wouldnt be surprised if you will find the template letter there too...its free. good luck!
Basically a few of the big banks have put a test case together to see whther bank charges are legal or not. The judgement on this case will determine whether the banks can get away legally with these charges and wheter people can claim them back.
Because the test case is happening now, the judge in charge has put a stop on claims made after he said so so the banks can ignore you and not follow industry rules on customer complaints until a decision has been made.
Once a decision is made, and assuming the bank charges are illegal then you can then claim.
You'll probably find what you need on this web site. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/...
Actually you can't make a claim at the moment because they have all been stopped or put on hold until the result of a test case which wont be heard until about November or December of this year.
I'm being sued! Should I let it go to court?
I sold a car to this girl. It was sold to her "as is" with no warranty. The car had over 190,000 miles on it and a salvaged title. She was aware of all this and even test drove the car and was happy with it before she purchased it. Not to mention, she only spent $350 on it. She called me a few hours later wanting her money back saying it didn't shift, and I didn't tell her everything that was wrong with it. I drove the car every day to work and school and back and I had never had this problem. I offered to look at it and she refused to let and just wanted her money back. I said I can't take a car back that doesn't run after I sold it running. She is now suing me $350 for the car and $50 for her inconvenience. What should I do? How is my side looking?
Answers:
I would say she doesn't have much of a case. You sold it as is , she test drove it, and you sold it for a low price for the milege on it. The fact you offered to take a look at it may indicate your willingness to see if you could fix it. The fact she refused to let you do so is a plus for you. The law states Buyer Be Ware I'm not sure of the latin phrase but this to protects you . So , yes go to court, take any and all paperwork from the sell with you, and you should be ok.
YOU HAVE ANY PROOF YOU SOLD IT TO HER AS IS? A WITNESS? A WRITTEN AGREEMENT? YOUR CASE PROBABLY WILL BE DISMISSED. BRING SOME CHARACTER WITNESSES AND GO OVER YOUR STATEMENT. YOU GOT A 70 PERCENT CHANCE OF WINNING. COURT IS MANDATORY. BUT TALK TO A LAWYER JUST IN CASE.
I don't think there's a whole lot she can do about it unless she's under 18. If she threatens to take you to court, it's basically just her way of trying to waste everyone's time. If you have a copy of the ad you placed clearly stating "as is" it should strengthen your case.
I think you have a very good chance of winning this case in court if you have proof that you sold it to her "as is".
yeah sure go to court, your absolutley right you cant buy back a car that you sold running, that is now busted. you had an oral agreement for her to get it as is and it was running, yeah youll win go for it
If you're being sued.you HAVE to go to court. Just be sure to be prepared. There are "Lemon Laws" now, and if she can prove that there was a pre-existing mechanical problem, you stand to be in for a fight.
However, any judge is going to see that it is indeed..."a $350.00 CAR!"
These cases are always a "He Said-She-Said" deal, and it's impossible to even guess what the outcome may be.
It's going to be up to the judge's descretion as to whom he/she thinks is most truthful, and if the girl is full of it, most judges can sniff it out.
It's what they do! Usually.
Good luck.

You have a pretty good case. Just tell her that you can look at it and see what is wrong. Used cars are almost always sold as is, so even if you don't have a deed of sale, it shouldn't be hard to convince the judge that there was no warranty. (Since you aren't a car merchant, there is no implied warranty). She's probably just trying to scare you. Let her go to court if she wants.
Lemon laws only apply on vehicles with under 100,000 miles on them so that will not be an issue.
Having it only a few hours and having a problem could be an issue...it isn't like she was driving it for days, weeks or months and then came back indicating there was a problem and wanted you to fix it, it was pretty much immediate.
She didn't want to give you the opportunity to look at the car and possibly correct it, so that is a point in your favor.
However, the big problem on this is the salvaged title. If your insurance company determined that your vehicle was a "total loss" or the word "Salvage" has been stamped on the title, it is illegal to operate this vehicle upon any road, unless it has been rebuilt, passed Salvage inspection and may need to be re-titled.
The insurance company is to notify the DMV when they declare a vehicle "salvaged", but sometimes things slip through the cracks and that is why you have been able to get it registered with the DMV when you really should not have been able to.
Just indicating it is "AS IS" is not a good enough of a catch-all to sell her a car that is not legal to drive and she can't get plates for.
You need to make a bill of sale stating the vehicle is sold as is, or your rights are not protected.
If she test-drove the car with you, and it shifted okay then you might be all right. Let her sue, the worst thing that can happen is that you get your wages garnished until you pay off the judgement, and that's no big deal.
Do you have any kind of contract or witnesses that heard you explain the car was "as is" If you do, definitely bring it/them to court. The outlook for you looks good. The only kind of problem I see is her saying she was unaware the car was not in good condition. But a salvaged title and the amount of mileage should of tipped her off. I really believe they will favor you.
This same thing actually happened to me. When I was in the military, a co-worker of mine had just gotten married, needed a car, and I happened to have two...so I let him borrow my older car free of charge. Nice of me, right? They drove the car for about a month, then offered to buy it. Ok, I said, fine.
Then, right after they bought it, the wife decided she didn't like it, and tried to go to court over it (I had lawyers calling me).
I went to see a military lawyer, and he basically laughed and said these kind of purchases are "as is", there are no guarantees, buyer beware, etc.
It never went anywhere...I would be surprised if this even goes to court. If it does, it would be small claims. Then you would have to go defend yourself, bring your witness, and any other character witnesses that knew the car and you.
Bottom line, they don't have a case.

I'm being sued for a med bill,I just got a student loan and now they want to take that money, is this legal?
I am a full time student and am unemployed, I owe $14,000 and fully intend to pay this as soon as I'm done with school and have sent a letter to them stating my situation. But I just recieved the subpoena and I can't understand half the legal jargan they use, all I could get from it is that they know that I recieved the student loan and are threatening jail time for non payment. I don't know if I should get an attourney or just file bankruptcy. If I lose my student loan I can't finish school, I'm freaking out! help! thanks all
Answers:
I'm a bit shocked that you received an actual subpoena - are you sure it's legal or is it just some collection agency trying to scare you? In either case, if you owe money it's your responsibility to work out a plan with the person/place your in debt with. You can't just decide you're going to pay it off... someday. If the subpoena is real, then consult an attorney.
It depends largely on the state you're in, but I am fairly sure no matter where you are, that they can't put you in jail.
I would seek legal council. I don't think they can do that. You can be jailed for failure to appear in court. But as far as garnishing a student loan I am almost positive they can't do that.
I wouldn't file bankruptcy. I would talk to a lawyer first. Most times hospitals get the owed money back as a tax write off.
Just get a job and send them $25 a month. They can't mess with after that.
In most situations, the worst they can do is put an adverse notation on your credit report. If you call a debt counseling service, they can almost always intercede on your behalf and negotiate with the creditor (i.e., the hospital). If you refuse to pay, they can sue you in court in a debt collection action. However, if you retain an attorney and explain the situation, the judge may allow you to keep your student loan money. You should look into low-income legal services organizations that represent people in debt collection actions for free if they are below a certain income threshold.
You didn't say where you are located but if its the US then you won't be going to jail over non-payment of a medical bill.
BTW, were you served or is this just some document claiming to be legally binding? Sounds like the typical lies of a collection agency.
I know what I would do.
1. Pay my tuition right now.
2. Write a letter to the source of the threat informing them that any further contact will be considered harassment. Get delivery with a signature and save it in case they keep bothering you.
If it is a hospital..see if they have patient assistance help. you will not go to jail,
No, they cannot give you jail time for an unpaid bill, but they can take you to court and demand payment and a judge can set an amount. Since you are not employed and only living on a student loan, I doubt they can take it since it is only a loan and not a source of income to garnish, such as a paycheck. I would send them what you can a month in the form of a money order and keep the stub from it. Even if all you can afford is $20 a month, it will show the judge that you are making an attempt to make a payment towards the money you owe if it ends up in court. If the place where you owe the medical bill refuses to accept your payment just because it is small, that can be used against them in court and they may end up with nothing. I would also contact an attorney if you can or call legal services just for advice.
let that attorney look at that letter and he can break some that
legal mess that in the letter and he can tell you what can happen.
Hi There,
No , No and NO.....They cannot take your student loan , They are "Bully" want you to paid they want to scare you and they did.. You can ask for help graciously , You have in the States different organisms that look after those matters I do not know their name but try maybe legal Aid or look for a Society that arrange debs ! They will help and advice.. Good luck
They are threatining you. A med bill cannot have you put in jail. Get a lawyer
You should move the United States where people don't go to jail for nonpayment of medical bills.
Number one, you can't be jailed in the U.S. for a debt.
Take this so called subpoena to your local courthouse and ask a clerk to let you read the file on this case. I suspect that what you received is not really a subpoena. By checking the court file against the number on the subpoena will tell you a great deal.
BTW, was this "subpoena" served by a police officer/deputy? In most states these have to be served by law enforcement. Some states do allow private servers, and there are businesses that do just that. Or did this "subpoena" come by mail?
Sounds to me like this is an aggressive collection agency, nothing more.
You received a subpoena from someone threatening to sue you? As summons is what is used to serve notice of suit on a party being sued. A subpoena is used to make a witness appear to testify either at trial, a hearing, or a deposition. Were you served by a process server or did you receive it in the mail? You are supposed to be served (in some form - the requirements for service vary by state).
They are threatening to jail you if you do not pay? That violates the U.s. Constitution - no lawyer should ever send such a demand.
It sounds like a collection agency just violated the Fair Debt Collections Act. Consult an attorney. You can find one at the link below.

I'm being sued for $80,000, should I file bankruptcy?
You don't understand, we're living paycheck to paycheck as it is. We do not own a home. We have no assets to seize.
(if you'd like more details on my situation, read my last ?)
If the insurance co. wins this lawsuit against us, we are so screwed. If they garnish my partner's wages, we'll be homeless. We have two children to support as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Oh yeah. If we did file BK, do we do it now, or wait until the suit is over?
Answers:
Bankruptcy covers any debts etc. which are current. It will not cover anything that happens after the date you file. Therefore you must wait until after the suit is done with, and if there is a ruling against you-then file. It will prevent your debtor from collecting.
Try arbitration.
Wait until the suit is over.

Welcome to the Legal Information Institute
Filing Bankruptcy will not relieve you of a civil judgement.
It wouldn't matter if you filed before or after you lost the civil law suit.
You would still owe the money lost in the civil judgement.
Why didn't you have renters insurance ?
To win the law suit, you would have to prove that the cause of the fire, was not your fault, IE: bad electrical wiring etc.
If the cause of the fire was your fault, matches, lighter, candle, etc.
Then you should have to pay.
idk what the law is but you should suck it up and pay what you owe...

To win the law suit, you would have to prove that the cause of the fire, was not your fault, IE: bad electrical wiring etc.
If the cause of the fire was your fault, matches, lighter, candle, etc.
Then you should have to pay.
idk what the law is but you should suck it up and pay what you owe...
I'm being sued by credit company...what should i do?? HELP?
I owe this credit card company 3 thousand dollars and i they send me this letter of summon to go to court...they say they are going to sue me.what should i do..what can i do??
Answers:
The only way out would be if the time limit based on the statutes of limitation has expired: usually like 5-6 years from the time the debt went delinquent. If not, there's no way out. You'll have to go to court- most likely an arbitration hearing- and negotiate settlement terms. After that, a judgment will be passed against you and you'll have to make regular payments according to the settlement terms until the judgment is satisfied. Good luck.
Get a lawyer.
pay them.
and stop trying to ignore them.
they would not have sent you the summons if you had sent them money.
Stop dodging them and make arrangements to pay them. They are taking you to court because you have made no effort to pay your debt.
If you are having trouble paying your bills, take a look at Consumer Credit Counseling Service. I have been a client for a couple years and they have been great. Check them out at: http://www.cccsintl.org/
Hire an attorney, or pay them off.
The attorney will probably cost at least $1,000.00, so you may be better off negotiating a settlement with the credit card company. As a negotiating ploy, you might mention that you don't have much money, and are looking into credit counseling and bankruptcy as alternatives.
get a lawyer asap!!! and pay the money
Hurry and try to settle out of court for 1/2..otherwise if you go to court and they get a judgement against you until you pay you wont be able to buy a house or nothing major.

I'm being sued by an insurance company?
I was the renter of a duplex apartment, and we had a fire. We lost everything but our lives-thank god. This fire happened in july 2005. Now last Friday, the 27th, I was served with a summons. My old landlord's insurance company is suing us for $80,000. They're saying it was child negligence of my 2 year old as the reason for the fire. They're saying my 2 year old(at the time)is responsible for setting the fire. In the summons it says "On july22 2005, the defendants failed to properly supervise a minor child who negligently and carelessly caused a fire while playing with matches..." It says we were responsible for supervising him and for keeping the matches in a safe place. This is bullsh!t! I was cooking, the father was sitting in the living room, and my son was playing in his room. The fire started in my room. And I had the matches on top of a very tall dresser. I feel like just because I admitted to having matches in the house, they're automatically trying to place the blame on that
Answers:
I am a lawyer in Florida. You asked a lot of questions but I will try to sort thru them and help.
First, if they are suing you for subrogation (to recover money they paid to the landlord for the fire), they have up to five years after their payment to sue you so the suit is timely.
Second, it says that they want to prove the fire was caused by your kid. B/c there was a fire, there should be a fire report which states exactly what the cause of the fire was, where the fire was, etc. and that will be binding on the cause of the fire. If you had matches and the fire was started by a lighter (which means that there had to be lighter fluid found at the scene) then the matches can't be the cause of the fire. A complaint is what they say that they will have to prove to win. If they can't prove it, they are SOL.
The reason for the suit is b/c either they think you have money from which they could collect their damages back from you - or b/c they think you have insurance (homeowers, an umbrella - something) that might cover you for their claim. Tell your insurance agent and if you had renters insurance, the insurance company will get you a lawyer who will rep you for free. If you don't have any, I would get an attorney either directly or thru legal aid to represent you. Hope that helps.
First as you mention teh 2-year mark, I guess you are hinting at a statue of limitations. I do not know how you stand there.
Given the fire report, you may have a problem.
Get a Lawyer!
Get a lawyer fast.
So long as there is an official report on the fire that says it started because your child was playing with matches, it does not matter if this is false, if you know it is false, that is the official report, and the insurance company can sue you for their costs due to something that the official report says is your family's fault.
So your lawyer first task needs to be to combat the official report, which will be very difficult givne that it was 2 years ago ... witnesses will have disappeared, forgot.
There is also the question of YOUR insurance.
How comprehensive was it? Did you have renter's insurance that protects you from this kind of thing? If so, your insurance company can pay off the landlord's insurance company.
I can barely get a match to light OR a lighter for all that matter and I'm 21! That kid must have been something fierce when he was 2! I'm sorry, I don't have any legal advice, I just wanted to share how silly-sounding that was that a 2 year old just lit a lighter and kept it lit long enough to set something on fire and didn't get burned.
yup, u need a lawyer. If you are indigent, go to your "legal aid society" if your area has one. good luck
Get a lawyer...the report said accidental so the insurance company shouldn't be able to do anything.
GET A LAWYER....insurance companies will intimidate people and scare them to give in...get a lawyer and go to court.

This is the reason they filed suit. Did you have homeowners' or renters' insurance? If so, they will defend you. If not, you will have to pay the costs of your own defense.
If you really did lose everything you may be a good candidate for bankruptcy. Talk to a local lawyer about both of these issues.
You need the Fire Marshals report! That will state exactly what caused the fire. and get an attorney.
What state are you in? I think you're well beyond most state's statute of limitations. Get an attorney. Sue them for filing a frivilous law suit. Sounds like the facts are on your side, all you need if the official report of what started the fire.
This is begining to sounds more and more like bad faith. You have insurance to cover accidents, not charge you for them. You need to get a good attorney.
Your Insurance Company is trying to recoup losses paid to the Landlord for the Landlords insurance policy. Your are going to need an experienced attorney experienced in civil case work/insurance companies ASAP. You should call your state's bar association for a listing of attorney's. If the insurance company receives a favorable judgment YOU COULD LOSE EVERYTHING YOUR OWN through bank levies, wage garnishments, reprocessions, etc.
The insurance is fishing for ways to reduce the amount they have to pay, Can they prove your son with playing with matches? Was it determined to be arson by a 2 year old ? I would not want to have to prove you were responsible in Court
You need to see a lawyer ASAP.
In most states, they only have 2 years to file a complaint for that, so they might be cutting it close, if not totally outside of the statute of limitations. The date of the filing (check the file stamp on the summons you recieved) has to be within 2 years of the incident. Check that out, and also get a copy of the police or incident report that states exactly what the cause of the fire is.
The other thing is, the company has to put you on notice that they're about to file a lawsuit, to give you the opportunity to settle it or deal with it out of court. It doesn't seem to me, from your story here, that they tried to do that, and that won't help them in court, either.
Basically, now that you've been served, you need to appear in court and file an answer to the lawsuit, and that would be done best if you had a lawyer. You need to show that your child wasn't the cause of the fire -- and check the statute of limitations.
This is a weird one. If the fire started in the other room, and the police report said it was an accident, it's hard to imagine what they think they are going to get out of you. Are they trying to get you to settle and give them money? I wouldn't. On the other hand if you have to hire an attorney it will be expensive. If you have an attorney and you win, you may be able to counter sue, and make them pay for harrassing you unfairly.
Do you have any money to pay them if they did win? I'm guessing not, so they can never collect probably. People usually only sue if they know another insurance company will pay the bill, otherwise they can never make you pay if it will make you bankrupt. Do you know why the fire started?
You should have never admitted any thing and counter sue because they had faulty wiring in the place. You are walking on quick sand here. So get legal advice. If they can shift the blame it lowers any pay out that they mite make for the firer. You left the door open for them by telling the Truth. It sucks but that is life with insurance companies!
Who is this guy? He wasn't there to see the fire start. In legal terms, he has no proof. Any good lawyer can get you out of it. Just make sure YOU have proof.

I'm being scammed by sprint pcs!! Help!!?
Our two year contract with sprint pcs was up in may 2007 which i had all intentions of changing to another carrier. (Their customer service is now located in India) In June 2007, I changed carriers and had all of our phone numbers ported over. Everyones numbers were out of contract. In Mid June, I received a notice via mail from sprint that i renewed my contract for 6/4/07 to 6/4/09 which i had not.I had called their cust. serv. to get this corrected and i was assured that this would get taken care of. The first part of July, i received a bill for over 800 dollars with penalty fee for early termination . I called and they said I had renewed my contract. Which I hadnot and had already changed to another carrier. They told me that they would cancel the new contract and deduct all termination fees. (200 bucks per phone). Thought everything was taken care of, then in July, received a new bill with the same charges plus a 60 dollar late fee. Help!

You gain nothing by it.
if you honored your time with them you are by law no way obgulated to pay that bill ask to speak to there fincinal office and let them know you fulliled your part and give you proofe on there.s they cant you own nothing to them it.s law in all states . my honest opion?
I have no clue what your talking about because I hate reading.
but i saw your question and just figured i would say that my mom DEF had a problem with sprint too.
our cell phone bill was like $120
and she paid it, however like a month later some company said they were calling on behalf of sprint and told her she owed $500+.
so she called sprint and they said she DEF didnt owe that money.
so she called that company who told her she did owe money,
and the number they gave her was for a funeral home.

i totally understand if you dont read that whole paragraph since it was a BEAST long
Welcome to the screwed up world of Sprint...call the FCC. My husband spent 43 hours on the phone trying to straighten out a mess that Sprint had made. And don't let it disappear...cause it won't...they just shut up and put it on your credit record.
Don't feel bad they had opened 6 phone lines for him and he only has two. We are still watching to see that none of it pops back up.
I was spammed by Sprint when I called to ask about a rate plan for my home phone and they just changed the plan even after I thanked them for the info and told them that I did not want to use that program.
They are the biggest ripoffs in this country.
http://www.fcc.gov/contacts.html...
They get you by, if you make the littlest change they autmatically renew the contract most of the time they "forget" to inform you. Fight it. Talk your way up to the person in charge. If this is all true what you are saying then tell them you will renew if they deduct all charges, after they do that then, do not renew.
I have the same problems...I'm divorcing them.
When I renew my contract, I always sign off on it. Tell them to show you proof that you renewed your contract. As someone else said,if you change ANYTHING they make you commit to a new contract. It doesn't sound like you did that, but double check.No phone bill should be that high regardless. Keep fighting it. I have a friend that calls their bluff on a regular basis and she always ends up with perks.

Im being evicted because owner fiund out that i'm subleasing i have always paid the rent?
my dad also lives with me and is on hospice and dying in final stage of congestive heart faliure. can she really make us move at this time. we are paying the rent so what should she care
Answers:
I'm sorry for the hard time you're going through. Most leases prohibit subleasing without permission. If you've broken the lease-the landlord can evict you.
Have you tried talking to the landlord-explaining your situation?
As a landlord I'd think your landlord would work with you. Our business is to collect rent-why kick out a paying tenant?
Is there more to the story then you've let on?
Hope all turns out well.
It usually states in the lease that it violates your lease
not only because you subleased
but also because some landlords allow others to stay, but with a $X tagged on per week or per month per person, and the landlord must know about it.
However, your landlord is required to give you 30 days to get out, save for a court order
Need a little more information. Especially what state you live in. Rental laws differ from state to state. But on a whole, yes he can evict you, because you don't have a lease with him. Also, are you paying the rent to the person he rented the place to, or the owner directly? If your paying the renter, he might not have paid the owner, ect.
Sadly, it is the law. There should be exeptions to this though.
Talk to someone that can give you legal advise about this.
Good luck!
does it violate ur lease
If the original lease forbids sub-leasing, yeah- you broke the lease.
If the original lease specifies that only you can live in the apartment, yeah- you broke the lease.
I'm not saying it's ethical, and I'm not saying it's not ethical. If you broke your lease, then the owner has every right to evict you. At the same time, maybe there is a way that you and the owner can re-negotiate a new lease that will allow you AND your father to continue living there.
They say that it's easier to get forgiveness than permission, but I disagree (I have some stories for you!). I know it's a little too late, but you should have talked to the owner before your father moved in, made sure it's ok for him to move in.
You should check your original lease. Most of them will include a clause that the owner has to pre-approve any tenants you plan to sub-let to. This makes sense because they want to know in advance what type of tenants they will have and have a chance to check their credit rating, etc. Your question, however, is confusing. Who did you sub-let the place to, and where are you and your Dad living now? Did you have the new tenants sign a sub-lease? I assume you and the landlord aren't confusing the fact that your Dad is living with you with what constitutes a sub-lease. It sounds as if you may have some financial difficulties. I suggest that you check with social services and find out if there is a store-front or legal-aid office that could advise you. There may be a tenants-rights group in your area. As a last resort take your story to a newspaper and see if they are interested in your story. Maybe they have an 'Action Line' columnist who would help you. Before you do any of this be sure you have your facts (not opinions) organized and copies of any papers or documents (i.e. lease, letter from landlord, etc.) available. Any time the landlord contact you in any way make some notes right away ... i.e. time called, what she said, etc. Don't put it in your own words, but write down word-for-word what she says. Don't loose your temper and don't get shitty with her no matter how tempted you may be. As a last resort very nicely ask your landlord for her lawyer's name as your lawyer wants to contact him. That may be B.S. but it might make her back off. Good luck!
The fact that you always pay your rent is irrelevant. Somewhere in your lease agreement it probably states that you aren't allowed to sublet your apartment. It may not be the most moral thing to do, but it certainly isn't illegal.

Don't loose your temper and don't get shitty with her no matter how tempted you may be. As a last resort very nicely ask your landlord for her lawyer's name as your lawyer wants to contact him. That may be B.S. but it might make her back off. Good luck!
The fact that you always pay your rent is irrelevant. Somewhere in your lease agreement it probably states that you aren't allowed to sublet your apartment. It may not be the most moral thing to do, but it certainly isn't illegal.
I'm an illustrator and have been requested to draw subjects that are considered immoral and even illegal.?
I know that people into subjects such as pedophilia or bestiality in this country are considered to be sexual offenders, especially for having possession of child porn on their computers. However, I was wondering if illustration wise if such images could be created legally. I know for instance there are illustrations out there depicting murder, rape, and torture of women (which is also immoral/illegal). I'd imagine that since that is legal to have such fantasy illustrations that other subjects would be also legally acceptable no?
Answers:
Actually, in the US --- only real images of real children can be considered child pornography.
Animated images, computer graphics, or images of adults that look like children are not considered child pornography
The Supreme Court ruled on this point a few years ago, based on the fact that in these instances, no actual children were involved at any point in the process, so there was nobody to protect by making these fake-images illegal.
Don't do it. No amount of money is worth your soul.
Yuck, why would you want to? Who cares if it's legal, not everything that is wrong is illegal. Just accept that it's wrong and don't do it.
Do you really want to be a part of the debasement of mankind? If you are talented surely you can find better subjects to illustrate.
You have two choices:
1. Draw these things and risk going to prison, the scorn of your family and friends, deep guilt, endless nightmares, and ending up in Hell.
2. Say no.
I can see how that could be a tough one.

I'm a young man who got a phone for a friend of mines to use with the understanding that he'd pay the bill.
He had the bill four about 6 months and paid it , somewhere in there he decided to stop paying the bill it went to collections and then to me. He's not trying to respond to my phone calls. Is there any thing legal that can be done it was sent to his address he did pay for it with his name all the numbers on the bills are friends of his is there anything i can do other then pay this dam bill? Is small claims court a option
Answers:
first off you were a damn fool
2nd take it to small claims court and bring all your bills
third turn that phone off
4th you need to pay the bill off before it ruins your credit anymore , that happens allot but your reason doesn't hold up and you will get a judgment against you if its not payed
i hope you learned your lesson this time and count it as lucky
dont give people the opportunity to screw you they will every time
Yes, it sounds like small claims court is your only option. Hurry, your credit is being ruined.
You're kinda screwed here. First thing you need to do if you haven't already is cut off the damn phone.
Your best hope is that it turns on his having paid the bill previously. If you go to small claims and win make sure you start secondary action filings immediately. It will save time when he doesn't pay the small claims judgment.
IF YOU DONT HAVE YOUR ANSWER YET you can email message me through this site my mom went through the same thing and got all her money back and won the case! i can help you if you need it
You can go to small claims court.
Since this was a verbal agreement that you had with your friend, you can show that he paid for those four months and that will convince the judge that it wasn't a gift.If you can get evidence of his paying that would be even better...It's always better in the future to get things in writing.
Take him to court.
You need to go and cancel the phone and let your FRIEND get his own damn phone.With friends like that you don't need any enemy's.
ps;
Small claims court, not worth it??
Yes, take him to small claims court. NEVER get a phone for anyone again.
I see you guys on Judge Alex, Hatchet, Joe Brown, Judy almost everyday.
and my answer is WHY?
if you can't beat them up, don't get them a phone!
Email that guy up there and find out how his mother got all her money back.
Because unless you have it in writing, you're done for. According to all the TV judges
Good Luck my friend.
I did answer a question like this a couple of days ago, this type of arrangement never works out between friends. You took it upon yourself to be a good friend and to be kindhearted and what do you get in return? stuck with bills and a no-good friend, backstabbing and unashamed, let me go ahead and also say unappreciative.This asshole was not a friend in the first place. Right this minute, I also have a so-called friend who's owing me $350.00, I recently had to call her to ask for it which shouldn't be. So you understand how I feel about stuff like this. Take him to see Judge Judy Schneiling.What state do you live in. Good Luck and Good Night.
Get all your documentation together for the last 6 months, then cancel his phone immediately.
Send him a certified letter letting him know you have cancelled the phone and that you expect him to make full payment ASAP and if he doesn't have payment in by (give a date ~ 7 days is good), you will go to Small Claims Court and file charges against him.
Then do it and don't ever get a phone for anyone else, family or friends. People just aren't that honest anymore. Also call the company and try to work out a payment plan if this "friend" doesn't get the payment in. You need to keep your credit cleaned up as soon as you can since he has messed it up for you.

I'm a police officer and my partners are out to get me, what should I do?
Some of them are very mean to me because I treat people with dignity and respect. I am a nice cop.
Answers:
There is a difference about treating someone with respect and enabling the criminal, make sure you are not an enabler. If you are a woman, they already have a complex. Ask for a transfer.
you cant make people be nice,but you can make them respect you by talking to your captain.
Either inform your boss, transfer or find a job in your field that doesn't allow discrimination like that. Because that is what it is, discrimination. I know that if you inform your boss, he will just tell your compatriots and you will be reviled even more, so if that doesn't work, start carrying a mini-recorder to record conversations made to you or in front of you, then if worse comes to worst, you can take them to an Internal Affairs to see why they are so prejudiced.
Sounds like you have some issues here.
What did you do to get everyone so upset? Maybe you should leave the force or possibly transfer to another division
I don't think I'd want someone that's wanting "to get me" as you say, watching my back.
Stormy, I thought you were only 14, however... report them, if nothing is done, take it to a higher authority

I'm a musician- noise pollution law in domestic buildings?
Basically I'm a student and musician. I will be moving into a privately leased flat in a month.
I am in band and so I will need to practice, both at home and at band. I plan simply to practice within my room, during afternoons and at the weekend.
However the block of flats consists of 9 other flats and so noise pollution may be an issue.
What is the current noise pollution law relating to houses and domestic settings?
Answers:
if you get a complaint to the councils environmental health dept they will visit you and ask you to stop or reduce the noise levels as well as informing your landlord who may also do the same,,,if you carry on they will visit again and warn you of legal action may take place if you persist as will the landlord,,a third visit could involve eviction by the landlord and noise monitoring or a noise abatement order,,,further breaches will involve a court appearance,,,
You have to remember that some of your new neighbours may be elderly or on shift work which could involve a violent encounter...the best thing to do is just respect others peace and quiet and find another venue to practise
Your location would be a helpful bit of data.
It's good of you to be considerate, though, in any event.
If you get a complaint from a neighbour, the Environmental Health will deal with it, firstly with a warning then a summons.
I don't know the term "noise polluation" or what it means but I will try and help.
If you make noise which affects the other residents you can be sued for being a "private nuisance". This would be my means, usually, by what is known as an "injunction". It would state that you should not practice your music playing anymore at a particular time etc. Failing to comply can lead to imprisonment or fine.
However, a claimant would have to show that the sound affected them to a reasonable standard. If the sound you made was acceptable to most other people then they would have no claim (and would hardly be likely to take things to court in the first place!)
Hope this helps!
Any music from your house that can be heard in your neighbours house can be considered noise pollution and if your neighbours complain then the local constabulary %26 noise pollution people from your local council can take your music equipment away..so go practice some where else
Not sure but I'm damn glad I am not your next door neighbour . It depends on Db readings. The Police will certainly pay you a visit if your music is deemed too loud
Have a look at your lease, it should have some guidelines about noise, e.g. not after 10pm. I think basic common sense is the best way to go about these things. You don't say what instrument you play, if it's a guitar make sure you play acoustic in the flat, same with keyboard. If you play the drums, you could become very unpopular very quickly!! Is there nowhere else you could practice, e.g. a friend's garage or shed?
Depending on where you live, you may have every right to make as much noise as you want from 9 in the morning until 9 at night (0900-2100 hrs).
Courtesy is the big thing here. Tell your neighbors who you are and of your plans to reherse. Tell them you plan to stop playing at 9 o'clock (or whenever the noise curfew is in your city) and give them a way to contact you if they feel you are being too loud. Do not use amps unless you must and even then turn them to the lowest setting. Use mutes on your horns and pads on the drums. Be polite to your neighbors-if they start complaining to your landlord, you will be evicted before any of them.
In England, a certain amount of 'reasonable' noise is allowed. The maxim is that whetever activities one carries out in ones own home should not 'deprive others of the enjoyment of their own home/property' . This works both ways - if you play music and disturb me, then you are at fault, but if you play music at a reasonable time of day and at a reasonable volume, then a complaint from me would not be entertained, as we are all entitled to make a bit of a din, and I would be depriving you of the enjoyment of your property if I isisted that you lived in monastic silence.
A bit of common sense needs to be applied. If you are an electric guitarist, then playing through a 5 watt practice amplifier would be reasonable. Playing through a stage Carlsboro or Marshall amp in a domestic setting is simply not on.
You will also need to demonstrate consideration for your neighbours. I had a go at my neighbour today because he let his daughter play a Rod Stewart album quite loudly with the windows open. We had to shut our window to keep the noise out. The status quo is silence, or as near to silence as is reasonably possible, so if you intend to breach the status quo, then you should take all attempts to minimise your disturbance - i.e. keep the window closed.
You should visit all your neighbours, explain what you intend to do, pick the best possible time to practice in accordance with their wishes, and get on with it. Remenber, though, this can be dodgy - morning practice is out if a neighbour works nights, afternoon practice is out if a neighbour works early shift ( an afternoons kip is often needed), and evening practice is taboo at all times, as people have young kids who need to sleep, and others are entitled to their dinner and their evening entertainment with minimal disturbance.
Perhaps the best plan is to practice from 5pm until 6pm - night shift workers will be up, early shift workers will have had their afternoon kip and toddlers will not yet be in bed.
Finally, you must realise that you are the odd one out- possibly creating noise that is not appropriate in a domestic setting, so I'd advise you to tread warily.

Im a felon for drug possesion and have a few misdemeanors nothing violent in florida can i ever own a gun?
Answers:
you could own one, just probably not legally.
After so many years of good behaviour you can apply for pardons on your previous offences and then you shouldn't have any problems.
Not legally.
nope
man, I hope not!
N O!!!!!!!
FELON = NO
not with a felony charge.
You gave up the right to ever own a gun the second you were convicted of the felon.
I'm reasonably sure there are a number of other priveledges you've lost including the right to vote.
My understanding is that once a person has been convicted of a felony, that person may never again
* have right to vote
* own a gun
You will have to get each conviction expunged. If they qualify for expungement that is. Then after they have been expunged, you might be able to purchase a gun.
Dont think so,Why, what 4
Im a clerk in state nc,can clerks legally be made to pay for gas drive offs?
im a single mother living off 6.25 hr,having to pay for a 52 dollar gas drive off is hard.does the owner not have insurance to cover this kind of loss
Answers:
No they cannot. It is a logical conflict. You did not steal the gas; that is a crime. Police handle criminals, not clerks. Besides, if your boss wanted to take the money from you or somehow hold you responsible they would have to take you to court. That would cost your boss more money than the stolen gas! Don't let them push you around. Let your boss know that you are aware of your rights and you know they he/she cannot hold you responsible for a crime committed by someone else.
You did not steal the gas. Don't pay for it. The owner can prevent thefts by having employees pump gas or making customers pay in advance.
It doesn't really matter what your personal situation is, making employees pay for the theft of customers is not right. I would check with your state Department of Labor (http://www.nclabor.com/) to see if this is even legal.
In your case, if it is legal, I would still think about how much that is costing you personally and if it is even worth it to work there. What if you got several drive-offs in one night? At some point you would be paying to go to work!
The above poster is right, if there is no insurance against drive-offs, the owner needs to implement prepaying. That way, the pump doesn't work until the person has paid.
Start looking for another job. That owner is an asshat and holding you responsible for drive offs is patently ridiculous. If he wants to prevent driveoffs he should make all the pumps prepay. How does he expect you to stop them?

I'm a boxer and I have mad about 33,000 dollars this year fighting. My question is how do i file this in taxes
I admit that my record is 0 wins and 15 losses. My medical bills are over 53,000 dollars. Cracked ribs, broken jaw and a fractured eye socket. Can i clain this as a deduction?
Answers:
Maybe it is time to find a new occupation?
You need to hire an accountant who will take care of the profits and losses for you.
you need to work on your defense. If your being serious, you simply report it as other income or estimated income if you don't have a W-2. If your medical bills are that high, they certainly can be deducted.
Oh come on get real, when your dealing with the T.. man you claim for everything, even sunscreen. The fights were indoors at night, so what the lights were bright.
So what you are saying is that you are not very good and it is costing you $20,000/year to work.
You may need to change jobs.
IN any case, hire a good accountant as it is difficult to prove medical expenses as a necessity of work.

Im a 25 y/o male and a 31 y/o nurse's ex bf threatened me on the phone. What can the cops do?
Im a 25 y/o male and im in the military. This crazy ex b/f calls my house, because he got my phone number from the lady ive been seeing in her cell. The crazy guy is on parole. What can the cops do. He threatened me on the phone. He didn't threaten to kill me, just hurt me. What will the cops do?
Answers:
Nothing you need to get you some cold steel
If its a credible threat of harm then its assault. The problem is proving it. You might want to have a recorder next to your phone for a while in case he calls back.
You sound scared, don't be scared. He knows better, or he'll end up in jail. He's just jealous and trying to scare you. But, if you're that scared, call his parole officer.
In my state an action that causes fear or alarm is considered harrassment. The same action using phones, internet, fax or other telecommunications device is aggravated harrassment. Call your local police and file the complaint. Even if you were not put in fear for your safety, you were threatened. These are the same laws that led to anti-stalking laws.
Report it and ask your phone company for a printout of that month's activity to show the incoming call. The fact that he is on parole will probably violate the terms of his parole and send him right back to jail. Do what you have to do for your safety and seriously consider ending the relationship with this lady. Call your phone company and report to the annoyance call bureau or whatever they call it. Make sure your phone number is unlisted or this guy will also have your address.
Your question is what can the police do?
I am a police oficer, and I will be stright there is not a lot that we can do in these cases and based on the information you provided you do not have a strong case.
Thats the bad news.
Now let me help you out a little.
1st thing change your number. Phone companies will usually do this for free in your situation. It is an inconvienace but peice of mind is well worth the trouble.
One thing you have in your favor is that this guy is on Parole. The person who advised you to contact the parole office was right on track. The Parole Officer has a lot of leyway with a Parolee, then a Police Officer and a suspect. A Parolee has already commited an offence and was found guilty restricting some of his rights. Where the average suspect has more rights then the victome sometimes.
The person above who mentioned the tape recorder had an excellent frist step. One of the biggest issues is proveing who is harrassing you. Even if you are being called from his phone, its hard to prove who exactally is making the call. Phone recoards are good to determine the origins of the calls, but they do not tell you who is calling. He can easily claim someone else was using his phone. Recoarding the calls will give you a voice which can be indetified.
Also keep a log of everything you do in reguards to this issue. every time he calls, everytime it advercely effects your routine and why. Names dates places everything. If it dose go to court at some point this will be an excellent bit of evidance in your favor.
Cantact a laywer with experiance in criminal harrassmnet cases. Ask for additional advice and how to build a civil case aginest this guy. He may have nothing now but, you may need to file one later and its good to have a laywers guidance.
Normally this would still be a weak case. The offence itself is considered very monior and in most cases rates little more then a fine.
Belive me the police are not happy about this either, but we only enforce existing law, its the polations and the public that have to fight it out to make the laws.
I hope this helps. The short answer is that police are limited in what they can do in this situation, but you still need to kow what to do to give yourself peace of mind.
Answers:
Nothing you need to get you some cold steel
If its a credible threat of harm then its assault. The problem is proving it. You might want to have a recorder next to your phone for a while in case he calls back.
You sound scared, don't be scared. He knows better, or he'll end up in jail. He's just jealous and trying to scare you. But, if you're that scared, call his parole officer.
In my state an action that causes fear or alarm is considered harrassment. The same action using phones, internet, fax or other telecommunications device is aggravated harrassment. Call your local police and file the complaint. Even if you were not put in fear for your safety, you were threatened. These are the same laws that led to anti-stalking laws.
Report it and ask your phone company for a printout of that month's activity to show the incoming call. The fact that he is on parole will probably violate the terms of his parole and send him right back to jail. Do what you have to do for your safety and seriously consider ending the relationship with this lady. Call your phone company and report to the annoyance call bureau or whatever they call it. Make sure your phone number is unlisted or this guy will also have your address.
Your question is what can the police do?
I am a police oficer, and I will be stright there is not a lot that we can do in these cases and based on the information you provided you do not have a strong case.
Thats the bad news.
Now let me help you out a little.
1st thing change your number. Phone companies will usually do this for free in your situation. It is an inconvienace but peice of mind is well worth the trouble.
One thing you have in your favor is that this guy is on Parole. The person who advised you to contact the parole office was right on track. The Parole Officer has a lot of leyway with a Parolee, then a Police Officer and a suspect. A Parolee has already commited an offence and was found guilty restricting some of his rights. Where the average suspect has more rights then the victome sometimes.
The person above who mentioned the tape recorder had an excellent frist step. One of the biggest issues is proveing who is harrassing you. Even if you are being called from his phone, its hard to prove who exactally is making the call. Phone recoards are good to determine the origins of the calls, but they do not tell you who is calling. He can easily claim someone else was using his phone. Recoarding the calls will give you a voice which can be indetified.
Also keep a log of everything you do in reguards to this issue. every time he calls, everytime it advercely effects your routine and why. Names dates places everything. If it dose go to court at some point this will be an excellent bit of evidance in your favor.
Cantact a laywer with experiance in criminal harrassmnet cases. Ask for additional advice and how to build a civil case aginest this guy. He may have nothing now but, you may need to file one later and its good to have a laywers guidance.
Normally this would still be a weak case. The offence itself is considered very monior and in most cases rates little more then a fine.

I'm 18, why can't I sign myself out to leave campus at me high school?
Answers:
Well let us begin with the fact that you are apparently not fully in command of the English language and therefore may be a danger to yourself as you venture into the adult world
It is not:
"I'm 18, why can't I sign myself out to leave campus at me high school? "
Try
I am 18, why can't I sign myself out to leave campus at MY high school?"
If you are 18, and 18 is the legal age for adulthood, then you can legally leave school on your own authority, the same as if parent pulled you out of school
There is no reason that you can't. You are legally an adult and can excuse your own absences. I suggest you ask pointedly about this. There is no legal reason that you cannot sign yourself out.
Because the school probably requires your parents to sign you out.
You may be 18, but you are still living at home with your parents and you are still in high school.
If you want all the privileges that come with being 18; move out, get a job and support yourself.
No offence, but I think you've shown us why you should stay in school a bit longer.
I'M 18 now what are some things i can legally (maybe) do?!? any suggestion please?
Answers:
These are things you CAN do that you couldn't before, but I'm not suggesting you go out and do them! :
buy cigarettes
buy pornography
get into bars and clubs
get into strip clubs
gamble in some states
enter sweepstakes
play the lottery
stay out at whatever hour-no curfew
be tried as an adult in court
get medical treatment (no parental consent)
get a hotel room
rent a car (some states its 21 or even older though)
do what any respectable newly-turned 18 year old does.cigs and porn!
Vote
Get a Lap Dance.
Watch a R rated movie, buy some porn or a smoke, go to a strip club, buy a "lottery ticket!"
Stay out later, smoke if ya want some quick cancer, oh yeah most important, you will go straight to jail with all the big people now if you get into trouble.
depends on what state you're living in.
In ca. you can:
buy cigs.
buy porn
get married
cant:
get into bars
get into strip clubs
buy gun
have sex with your 17 yr. old g/f
Other than voting, it sounds as if you can get yourself into a lot of trouble! ;)
I'm 18 is it legal for me to go out with a 17 year old?
ive been going with her sence i was 17
Answers:
You can "go out" with her all you want. But if you go any further than that, it may be illegal depending on what state you're in.
Seduction is the crime committed by having a carnal knowledge with a 17 year old girl as provided for in the Penal Law.
yea
It depends on what State you live in. Some States like Kentucky I think, you can get married as young as 13. Most States will not prosecute you for statutory rape of a minor if she admits it was consensual, because by the time you get to trial she will be 18 and the Judge will throw it out. Better be nice to her parents though!
Not to do "it". But you can date her.

I'm 17. If I want to move out of home, can I have my child support payments modified?
Okay so my mother receives child support payments for me from my father. I am 17 and my mom has given me full permission to move out. I have a job and people that will take care of me once I move; I am also still a full-time high school student. Is there a way that I can have my child support checks put in my name since I will not be living at home anymore? And can I change the address so that I can receive the checks at my new home? I need real answers here. No guesses. I would use my child support checks along with my regular income to support myself.
Answers:
No. The child support is to be paid to your mother for your support - your father can give you money, but he is not legally bound to provide you with funds under the guise of child support.
Your father is not bound to provide that support to your mother once you leave home, either - it is for your maintenance while under her care.
Talk to your father and ask for the funds.
Nope, child support always goes to the PARENT to support the child.
No you cannot do that. Has your mother agreed to give you the checks? If she has, she could deposit them into an account for you.
You are underage, you must get emancipated to legally move out %26 have anything put into your name.
The courts do this with one parent's signature.
The above answers all seem to be correct, except for the fact that just because you move out of the house with your mother's permision you are emancipated. That's certainly not the usual case. Many kids go to college and are still dependent. I think the best thing you can do is to simply ask your mother for money to help you out. She might need some of the support money to pay for your health insurance, and other costs that don't go away even when you move out, but she should be willing to help you a lot. Your father should know what's going on with this too, though he is legally bound to simply continue paying your mother regardless of where you live. If you are "emancipated" then he would not have to pay anymore, as you would "be own your own".
For additional help with this go to the N.C. dept of family and children services about this. Here's the link: http://www.ncchildsupport.com/
Odds are the support payments would stop as you will need to be emancipated to live on your own, this process means you are an adult and no longer covered by the friend of the court or your parents responsibility to take care of you. If you wish to move out, plan on doing so without the assistance of your parents, they will no longer have to cover your butt for anything once you are considered an adult.
I agree with one of the posters. Talk to your dad and see if he will send the money to you. Keep in mind if you actually NEED his money to live on your own then you might want to stay put with mom. Your going to be 18 very soon and that money will not keep coming.
If you are moving out under very friendly circumstances with your mother maybe talk to her about using the money for your rent or medical insurance and food. A parent will be more amiable about the situation if you have them pay for necessities as opposed to them handing you cold hard cash.
Legally, your father is not bound to send you "the child" any money whatsoever.
Long story short. Try and move out on good terms with both parents. When you start trying to "legally" obligate (as some people have posted) people to do things then you are going to get a lot of resentment built up. Realize that you are asking them to send you money and they are not obligated to grant any request of yours since you are the "child". Also, by asking for money you are basically proving to them you cannot live on your own. Just talk to your mom and dad about your plans and see if he/she will agree to support you for a few more months until you are out of high school.
No the child support goes to the parent not the child. You have to go through the courts to get these types of changes made. They would have to go to the adult that is taking care of you they never go to minor. If you are trying to live alone you will have to be emancipated in order to do that then you are considered an adult and once you are 18 you no longer receive child support. So it is a lose lose situation. Even if you just turned 17 to go through the courts and have a new guardian appointed then a different court to have child support switched you will be 18 and no longer get check any way. If you try to emancipate yourself you will be considered an adult and no longer receive checks
If your dad tries to send you the money and not your mom she can take him to court for back child support and have hime go to jail

Im 17 dating a 25 year old and may be pregnant with parental consent. is it against the law?
Im 17 and ive been dating a guy that is 25. I may be pregnant, but we dont know for sure yet. I have my legal guardians consent to be with him. By the state of west Virginia's law is that legal? if not..how much trouble can he get into to?
Answers:
From the West Virginia age of consent laws.
搂61-8B-5. Sexual assault in the third degree.
.2) The person, being sixteen years old or more, engages in sexual intercourse or sexual intrusion with another person who is less than sixteen years old and who is at least four years younger than the defendant and is not married to the defendant.
If that applies to your situation, he could be in trouble, if authorities find out.
Well, your parents would have to complain, so any jail or punishment pretty much wouldn't happen.
Then again, just because your parents are "consenting" to the relationship, doesn't mean they'll consent to you being pregnant by this guy.
But I just checked the law for West VA, and it looks like it's first-degree sexual assault for a person age 14 or older to have sexual intercourse with a person age 11 or younger; and third-degree sexual assault for a person age 16 or older to have sexual intercourse with a person under age 16 and at least four years younger than the actor. So it looks like your man's in the clear. Hope your parents don't mind.
I can hear the handcuffs clanking around his wrists. It's called STATUATORY RAPE sweetie, consensual or not. He's so busted. uh, ya good luck with that one.
Google: STATUATORY RAPE
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE SHOULD BE THE ONE IN TROUBLE SINCE IT DOES TAKE TWO, AND EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE 17 YRS OLD.
The police can still charge him. Parental concent or not. He could do 5-10 years.
Maximum of a $20 fine. West Virginia Statutes provide:
搂61-8B-2. Lack of consent.
(a) Whether or not specifically stated(c) A person is deemed incapable of consent when such person is:
(1) Less than sixteen years old
搂61-8-3. Adultery and fornication; penalty.
If any person commit adultery or fornication, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction, shall be fined not less than twenty dollars.
So... Is he going to do the right thing?
what a shock you're from west virginia
why would he be in trouble. yall did this together. u opened your legs, he stuck it in.. he can go to jail but thats not right though cause your jus as wrong as he is....but thats up to your parents if he get in trouble. if yo ppl dirty then he will do time. if they cool and laid back, easy going, he'll be ok
West virginia law states that the legal age of consent is sixteen years. You only need to worry about taking care of your child (good luck)
In most states, the age of consent is sixteen, which means that it is likely that there is no issue here. I would check the definitions under West Virginia law to make sure, but I don't really think he will get into trouble.
Your mom/dad/gaurdian...whoever. should be ashamed for not protecting you against this! You have no idea what you have done and I don't know any descent 25 year old who dates a 17 year old!! But then again I don't know any descent parent who would let thier 17 year old daughter date a 25 year old either..good luck with that, hopefully he will at least be there for the kid! Sorry for you, your parent's, and the idiot who knocked you up's ignorance.
The Age of Consent in West Virginia is 16.
There are TWO laws involved here. The law of nature and the law of society. Take your pick. And, for all of you girls that lost your virginity before the age of 18, SHUT UP!
You are fine the age of consent is 16.

Answers:
varies from state to state. Starts with employed and able to support yourself in almost every state.
Call children's services if you have a real problem and not just a bad case of teen angst.
When school starts you should speak to your guidance counselor immediately.
Look up the laws for your state. Some are 15, 16...etc...you have to petition in court to be emancipated. You have to prove that you can support yourself or will be supported by another adult. It's kind of not worth going through the process. Just deal with life. I was like you at your age too. Few more years won't kill you.
my friends cousin did that. i'm not sure how she said it was done...it was a really long story. i think you have to take it to court, and have a really legite reason. but because your young and in school u probably won't win or you'll wind up in foster care or something. They usualy allow kids who can finacially support them and have somewhere to go.
can you be trusted outside the home?
will you get free internet where you go next?
how does a 14 year old girl get so smart that she knows more than her parents?
I would definitely talk to a guidance couselor when school starts and if you are home schooled then you should contact the DCFS.
Just calm down. Half the 14 year old girls in this country think their family is keeping them in prison. You'll get over it.
Contact your local "Child Protective Services" in you county and tell them of your concerns.
you just try to search your state's website. personally i think you are too young, may be you are ready but these are the only years you can relax and enjoy yourself without any headechs of money, bills and other people. It gets much harder once you are older
1. call the authorities. if you are being abused or neglected, they can remove you from the house and you will go into the foster care system.
2. if you want to be out, how will you live, where will you live, how will you support yourself, eat, go to school, etc. develop a good plan if you want a judge to approve it.
3. suggest to your parents joint counseling.
4. talk to a school counselor.
5. If you are locked in the house and cannot get out, even to the yard, that is a serious problem. report it to the child abuse DHS authorities in your area. sometimes calling 211 will work
6. be prepared for the consequenses of your actions. since you may not be fully independent, you may drop into the 'system' which might not be better than your current situation.
7. talk to your parents. mostly listen to them. study active listening to find out from them what's going on.
I really think you're just being immature and whining about something you've taken completely out of proportion. How about instead of talking to us about it, you talk to your parents. If you're going to move out, you should probably at least know why.
that's for a Judge to decide.
you may need a lawyer.
are you prepared to make it on your own ? money ? job ? a place to live ? if not - then no Judge will let you.
you are too young. Most states, you have to be 16, and self sufficient - meaning you have a job and a place to live.
go to school and talk to your counselors. They are there to help you.
fnd a teen crisis number in your area and call it.
If you are being physically or mentally abused, call the police. Call Family Services - you can find their number in the phone book. Look under the "State" numbers.
Do you have an aunt/uncle you can call? What about your grandparents?
i can't believe how many people have answered you already dude. i hate your parents sometimes.
i hope their answers helped, as did mine probably.
i also saved a few desktop shortcuts.
you might wanna take a look a those; i'll send them to you.
also, remember that i'm here for you, i love and support you.

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH...
you made my day.
haha, only a year difference my dear. no
Depends on what you're talking about! Are you planning a bank heist or to blow up a government building? If not, you're probably safe.
Nope. Free Speech "lives". Just keep it "clean"...-There are some underage Adults on here! :)
No, just keep it to talking only, and don't assume that you're actually talking to a 12 year-old.
Unless it's "Feel-O-Vision," I think you are OK.
No you can't. You have to be charged as an adult before you can go to jail. If you aren't doing anything wrong, then you shouldn't have to worry about being charged at all.
Yeah you will probably get anything between 25 and 50 years in jail, depending on the type of wood your desk is made of. But I heard if you use the word "just" 37 times in one conversation, it can be brought down to 24 to 49 years.
That's a stupid question. NO!! Now if you were 18 and talking to a 12 yr old about bad things than I would say yes. But your not 18 so have fun and chat away.
Silly you! You can't be a pedophile when you yourself are still a loli.
Wow, did you really just ask that? If both y'all are under 18 go ahead and have a ****fest. You won't be going to jail. Not until 1 is 18 and the other is 17.
no, but never trust the unseen "12" year old as an actual 12 yr old. and they should not view you as only 13. it's sad, i know. but there are sexual predators all over the internet fishing for you.trying to lure you in. just be careful and don't ever agree to meet anyone unless you include your parents or another adult you trust. i don't think you have no brains, don't get me wrong...just be careful.
worst case scenario: you engage in sex with said 12 yr old and their parents sue your parents. that's it.
LMAO!
Hey feelovision kid... harrassment can be charged to minors though!!
haha no
Im 13 and got caught shoplifting, what will happen now?
Ok so it was really stupid, me and my friend tried stealing these matching pair of earrings, and got caught, they were $7. I got arrested and she didnt, but I have a court hearing soon and im afraid of what will happen. This was the dumbest thing i have ever done in my entire life, i regret it deeply. What do you think my consequences will be?
Answers:
You stole something that cost $7, so I doubt much will happen, if it had cost more and/or you had more stuff on your criminal background more would happen, but as it stands now you will either get community service or nothing at all.
Most likely a slap on the wrist...maybe some community service. Nothing too harsh.
community service
work detail
you will be handcuffed and thrown in a rat infested cellar dungeon!!
restitution,barred from that store,community service...
Dunno, but just take the consequences and deal with it.. if you are deeply regretful then you will be happy to take whatever you get, and then move on and learn from your mistake.
umm, not like REALLY bad
community service
i dont think it'll get as bad as juvi dont worry
if it's your first time, it'll be a warning
well i would have a solictar
lots of people in my school shoplifted and where caught, they where banned from the shop and given a warning normally, the worse thing that will proably happen is your get a fine, be banned from the shop, have a record
um...you would get a warning. if it's your first time getting caught.
i think, don't know for sure.
Possibly a fine and/or 10%26lt; hrs. of community service
Well if you were my child you would be in a lot of trouble. However you will go to juvinile court and they will put you on some kind of probation. Dont do it again.
Probation
which means
possibly a fine...your age it may be an essay or 2
Definitely 1 butt load of community service
One strike your out-Jive if you screw up again...anything
as long as you gave it back that should be the worst case scenario
By the way make no deal with any solicitor or District Attorney
Speak directly to judge
house arrest. JUST KIDDING. no but really, community service is what u will most likely be doing
I hope you get smacked in the head. Not only was it dumb, but now you are a THIEF. You should be ashamed of yourself, and although you will get a lecture in court, that's all that is going to happen to you. I hope your parents have the decency to punish you, after all you are a criminal- congratulations. Shame on you.
By the way, if you ever had any dreams of holding public office...bye bye.
Since it is your first offense you might get off pretty light, but if you do it again the law won't be as nice. A lot of it depends on who your judge is, and if you've really changed. Don't do it again, things like this can come back to haunt you.
youll be punished and later commit a more serious crime...repeat 5 times, and then you'll wonder why youre in jail
all i have to say is get ready for a big spanking from your mother THATS ALL and oh yeah your an IDIOT
restitution is 10 times the amount stolen in my state so you'd pay that and probably community service and maybe probation for a few months
so, she stole them and you got arrested...sounds fishy to me.
whatever you do, tell the judge the truth.
you will probably recieve probation and possibly a fine around
$ 500 or so.
stay clean, no more crime, or else it's out of the click and into the clink
Since you're only 13, probably not much more than community service. Just make it clear to the judge that you know it was a stupid thing to do and how much you regret it and will never do it again.
most states - restitution, banned from the store, community service, fine and/or probation.
Texas - death penalty.

Illinois natives. Question on the smoking ban??
Does anyone else think that the smoking ban is a bunch of crap? I do. I smoke and my feelings aren't really hurt that I won't beable to smoke at a restaurant after I eat , but I don't eat out that much and I can go hours without a cigarette. I just don't think that anyone has the right to tell people where they can smoke. I think it should be up to the owner of the establishment. And if you are a non-smoker go somewhere else. Don't push your issues on me. If they can ban smoking..what's next? Why not sugar-it makes people fat, why not trans fats-it kills people, why not alcohol-it kills people?I rarely drink and I don't drink in public and I NEVER drink and drive, so shouldn't drinking (in public) be banned because it is a hazard to MY health.I shouldn't have to worry about driving my own car minding my own business, prolly smoking a cigarette and have to worry about being killed by a drunk driver! To me drunk driving poses more of a health risk than smoking in public!

a few words for you from someone who has battled this garbage in Texas like a Banshee !! Deal is, this is but the most current move by the super powers to impose a "center standard" for the behavior of every individual !!
It is not nearly so much of a "public health" thing as it is -- a move to take control of the behaviors OF individuals !!
It runs roughshod over the rights of private businesses AND the next move (you can believe this one or not) is to actually ban smoking in your own home if there are children under the age of eighteen there -- as a "child endangerment" thing !!
Thing that most non-smokers do not realize -- and they are definitely NOT being told --- when they take the tobacco industry "OUT" --- there are going to be multiplied MILLIONS in taxes that are going to have to come from "somewhere" -- and -- guess what -- they are coming to the door of the non-smoker ! The smoker already PAYS these taxes every time they purchase cigarettes -- and these taxes are exorbitant !! And, the departments and organizations that run off OF these taxes are NOT going to shut down once the money isn't coming from that direction !!
You mentioned the "fat" thing --- believe me, here -- that is one of the next things that they have in mind --- look at the recent BAN in New York made against french fries !! It all is coming to the STATE deciding FOR you as to what you HAVE TO DO in your own best interests !! If people do not see this and do something about it while there is still time -- then, we, as a people deserve the demigod rule that we are coming to !!!!
Be considerate of other peoples health. Trans fat should be banned, lol its sound ridiculous but European countries have shown that food can taste the same without all the fat. And as for alcohol, their are beneficial side effects. With cigarettes there aren't.
But the nanny state is controlling your for your own good. It's "for the children". How dare you question the good motives of Big Brother!
i wont go into the alcohol issue as i agree with you on that.and i agree the powers that be should have no right to tell us when and where we can indulge our guilty pleasures.you have every right to smoke where and when you please but i also have the right not have to breath your smoke when i go somewhere.why should I have to go somewhere else or leave just so you can smoke?when you do that publicly you are forcing those around you to smoke also.you have heard of second hand smoke?it burns the eyes,makes it hard to breathe and quite frankly stinks up your clothes and hair.I respect your right to smoke but dont force it on others.if you need a smoke just step outside a few minutes.the fresh air will do you good
I have no problem with a smoking ban in some public places, but bars, private clubs and places where it is adults only should have the right to say whether smoking is allowed or not. That way everyone has a place to go. I live in a city in Illinois that had a total smoking ban for 4 months and most of the bars lost revenue, cut hours and laid off employees. The ban was repealed for bars, private clubs and other adult only places. One bar owner (8 bars) decided to stay non smoking and most others allow it. Everyone is happy. Or at least until Jan.1st when the state ban goes into effect. I think when ILL. sees the loss of tax revenue from the casinos that are on the border they will think again. Most people will cross over to Missouri or Iowa to gamble so they can smoke.

Illinois laws-statutory rape?
I'd like to know all I can about statutory rape laws in the state of Illinois. I've tried researching it on my own but I can't find anything I can understand or use.
Answers:
It's pretty simple. If one of the participants in a sex act involving oral, anal, or vaginal penetration, is under the age of 18, then a rape has been committed. A person under 18 cannot consent in Illinois.
Well, in Illinois, I think the age of consent is 18. Several states have it at 16.
You are not too far from Canada. Move up there, and people become sexually responsible at 14.
18 is ridiculously high for this day and time. It does need to be changed. The U.S. has it's head up it's you know what on many issues, and this is one of them.

Illegeal problems?
will i get i mean my friend will be repeort if he has a fake ssn numbers so he can get credit cards and staff. he also went to jail for stealing a car
Answers:
i am not good luck
Sounds like you need to get different friends.
Do you even understand the criminal actions you have taken? Do you think your friend's illegal status justifies this? I cant believe people even THINK of trying to find reasons to allow this kind of activity. You and your friend are CRIMINALS.
Your friend if caught will not be in trouble with police but also social security (the number could actually exist causing huge problems for those people), the credit card place, and possibly more. I didn't think I would actually read of somebody this stupid and willing to try. If you want to ruin your future life (mentally, occupationally, and financially) that is up to you. But chances are you will get caught.
You should know better to be around this guy if he is stealing and fruadulating the system. Ditch his *** and find good people in the world that have a good head on their shoulders.

Illegal?
are skinny-dipping and streaking illegal?
if you're wearing undergarments?
Answers:
yes and it could be even with undergarments (but unlikely).
In KS they call that lewd and lascivious conduct, a misdemeanor. It is unlikely that it would be a very big deal (just get warned by the cops).
Skinny-dipping and streaking...yes! If you`re wearing undergarments...no. That wouldn`t be any different than a bikini.
Yes.
No.
But, if somebody is going to do it; it's done by the time they get caught.
I wouldn't do it; but I bet it is a lot of fun.
Depends on where you are, but usually YES. It is called "Indecent exposure". That is defined differently in nearly every jurisdiction and often includes showing underwear to folks.
As with all things, it depends on the jurisdiction (country and state/province/city/county).
Generally, yes -- though usually a misdemeanor.
However, many jurisdictions also consider it a sexually related crime, and thus anyone convicted of it would count as a "sex offender" for purposes of other laws.

Illegal withdrawal or perfectly legal?
I have a gym membership and my debit card had expired in June so last month wasn't payed. I was going to pay it off this Friday plus this month.
But somehow they got into my account and took $15 out, why $15 I don't know. I didn't give them my new card info yet until I had the funds to pay both months off so they had no payment information. Was this legal? Are there any loopholes they could have used that were perfectly legal?
I would like to know since I made a phone call to them asking them to put it back, and I would like to know if I have the law as back up or am I SoL?
Answers:
You are SOL. You see it's not your card info they need it's just your account number. Though your card might have exspired your account information did not change. BTW as it was an automatic withdrawl some banks will pay the withdrawl and charge your account an NSF fee while other banks will let them withdrawl only the amount you have in the account.
If you had money in your account and they had an outstanding debt that was overdue, they have a perfect right to get the money if they can. Your debit card is just access to your account! If they didn't take more than was owed you are getting upset over nothing. It was your fault that your card had not been renewed, not theirs!
And I don't mean this in a bad way, but really, this is so minor I don't know why anyone would get their heart racing over it!
Above poster is correct; it was perfectly legal and you are SOL. You can get out your original agreement, or ask for a copy in writing from the gym, but it is highly likely that it is stated in the fine print. On any type of automatic debit from a checking account, even if it is set up initially through a debit card, an ACH (Automated Clearing House) file is set up for the deductions to be taken automatically from your checking account until you go into the bank and sign the proper forms to stop the ACH file.
You could go to your bank now and sign the forms to stop any further deductions from your checking account going forward.
If you have a signed membership agreement with the gym and you owed the fee, you have no grounds for requesting the funds back.
Check the fine print in the contract you signed. In general, they cannot take money from your account without your consent, but usually they put something in the agreement that lets them, and people sign it without reading it. But if you owe them the money anyway, I'd just move on.
Go to your bank, if you didn't authorize a withdraw, crawl down their back about it. Sign all of the required papers stating that unlawful theft has happened between the particular parties. Then go to the credit card company, tell them that you didn't authorize the withdrawal, and that you not only want that money back but the charges accumulated as a result of that unauthorized withdrawal. If they don't meet your wishes, then take your papers to court and file against them.

Illegal subletting?
the flat above mine has been illegally subletted by the tenant for the last year,the council have given notice to the "new" tenant to leave as they have evidence.how long before this idiot is gone?and will the rightfull tenant be prosicuted ?reason i ask is that the weirdo living there has a habbit of tapping on his floor at all times during the night,yet runs away from me when i confront him in the street,its been 30 days since the notice was served
Answers:
The procedure to be followed by the Council to evict the tenant depends on what type of tenancy has been granted. If its a fairly new tenancy it could be an introductory tenancy and proceedings can be brought within six months to evict the tenant. Alternatively, the tenancy may be a secure tenancy and the court has the discretion not to evict the tenant.
In both cases the Council has to serve a 'notice' to quit on the tenant. After the expiry of the notice, the Council can issue possession proceedings in the local County Court. It must state the grounds for the possession. It is possible in this case that the Council will quote breach of tenancy conditions.
In the case of a introductory tenancy there is no discretion and the court will order an eviction order. In respect of a secure tenancy, the court may suspend the eviction.
In no circumstances would the Council 'prosecute'. It is not a criminal offence to sub let, just a breach of tenancy conditions. The only ground for criminal proceedings would be for criminal damage. Or perhaps a breach of the peace type offence.
I hope this information is of assistance to you. It will, unfortunately take several months before the tenant is evicted but at least you will get some peace and quiet then!
You're lucky that sub-lets are not allowed by your council. Where I live, as long as they get their rent money they don't mind what a tenant does with the property as long as no structural alteration is carried out.
I doubt the main tenant will be prosecuted. If he has breached his tenancy agreement he is more likely to be merely evicted. The council might pursue him for any unpaid rent and/or council tax.
Thats a tricky one.it will depend on the tenancy created with the original tenant...who has now become the landord. As you say the council are involved then i would assume its a assured shorthold tenancy and so the sub tenant is still entitled to the two months notice to quit.but he may have more rights to stay on.

Illegal poss cont sub w/ intent to deliver?
what does this mean?
Answers:
Illegal possession of a controlled substance means you got caught with some drugs
with intent to deliver means you had a **** load of it and you were trying to sell it
in possession of a large amount of an illegal narcotic. like you had enough to sell, not personal use
It means exactly that. The person is charged with illegally possessing a controlled substance. That is one crime, possible a felony.
This lucky person is also charged with the intent to illegally furnish this substance to others. It does not matter whether it is to be sold or given freely. And there is a second felony.
Intent to distribute is often based on quantity, assuming that beyond a certain point, this is not possession of a small amount for personal use. For example, 500 non-prescribed Oxycontin tabs is a suspiciously large number.

Answers:
Illegal possession of a controlled substance means you got caught with some drugs
with intent to deliver means you had a **** load of it and you were trying to sell it
in possession of a large amount of an illegal narcotic. like you had enough to sell, not personal use
It means exactly that. The person is charged with illegally possessing a controlled substance. That is one crime, possible a felony.
This lucky person is also charged with the intent to illegally furnish this substance to others. It does not matter whether it is to be sold or given freely. And there is a second felony.
Intent to distribute is often based on quantity, assuming that beyond a certain point, this is not possession of a small amount for personal use. For example, 500 non-prescribed Oxycontin tabs is a suspiciously large number.
