i have been told they will tranfer my employment to the company that they have sold out to, who is my previous employer.
But my job i'm leaving is being advertised, but i'm not aloud to apply for it. what rights do i have.
Answers:
I assume you are in the UK.
I'm not exactly sure the facts of your situation but I hope this general answer helps.
Under the TUPE Regulations 2006 (as updated) it would appear that you employment is being transfered to the new owners.
The Regulations operate to transfer all the contractual terms (including pay) to the new owners. Also, all liabilities (save for pension, but that's another answer) also transfer.
If you are sacked as a result of the transfer that is (almost certainly) unfair dismissal.
However, because you've been employed less than 1 year (four weeks only), you have no legal recourse in any event if they do sack you (unless it's becasue of race, sex or disability).
Further information:
Thanks for the additional information. So you've already left? If so, then there's nothing to transfer, your contract of employment has come to an end.
There's no breach of contract on the facts you have outlined.
On the further information provided, you have no basis for any claim, if that's what you're asking.
Just fasten your seat belt and hang on.
This is why I say, "leave with class, not like an ***.,"
If you left on a handshake, you have much to worry about. Maybe they have plans to move you around, and maybe they're just advertising to see who is out there.
They have no obligation to keep you, but what you did in your old job might be the key to whether or not they keep you.
I hope they do. Believe me, you're going through a lot of BS right now, just hang tight.
I'm thinking of you.
it would depend on the contract you have in place between yourself and your new employer and maybe the one from the old employer would play a role... i would suggest you seek some professional assistance from either a solicitor or from your countries employment board to find out what your rights are and what you can do and if you will actually need to do anything at all.

I spelled that wrong.?
Answers:
t-h-a-t
There. Don't spell "that" wrong again.
:-)
No freaking way.
nope
better watch out! bad spelling is against the law!!
dictionaries are our friends
Some idiots on Y/A think that if you make a spelling mistake, you should be prosecuted. You've been warned! :)
spelt!!
dumb moron
use spellcheck
T--H--A--T. No, yer OK.
to owen r: i thought spelt was a type of wheat.
does it really matter so long as people know what you mean. being dyslexic doesn't mean you have nothing to say worth hearing! sadly the same cannot be said of those who whinge on about bad spelling!
i'm not suggesting "you" are dyslexic by the way.
dictionaries are online
Congratulation on your new invention.
Really
So ? its not a crime yet to make a mistake with your spelling, so long as we can figure out what you meant, i don't think it matters.
In politics and government it should be spieled
Shouldn't that be "I punctuated that wrong.?" It isn't correct to use a question mark after a full stop.
Oh, just a heads up for both sides of the Atlantic; over here in England, we use both "spelt" AND "spelled" as the past tense of spell. They are both grammatically correct but the US just use "spelled".
spelled?? is that a word?
No, but your typing contains an error. You don't require a full-stop AND a question mark.
'spelled' is perfectly correct.
I sold a car to a co-worker, but I accidently left my gas jug and some more things in the trunk, are they his?
I left my wash bucket that I planned on using to wash my new car, my car wax, tire cleaner and things of that sort in the trunk of the old car. I didn't realize this until 2 weeks after I sold the car to him. He has never mentioned that I left those things in the car, and my guess would be that he intends to keep them for himself and I suffer the loss. Legally, are those things still mine or do they become his since the car is now signed over to him? If he plays dumb and says he doesn't have them (I'm 100% sure I left them in the car) can I use my spare key and go in the trunk while he's parked at work and get my stuff out? Should I let it go and suffer the loss?
Answers:
I would ask him about the items , if he's an honest co-worker he'll give them back. He knows they didn't come with the sale of the car. If he denies seeing them or if he says he threw them away[suffer the lost] and forget about them. You are not being honest ,by keeping a key to a car that's not yours' anymore. If you enter his car without permission, it's like breaking and entering[Even with a key]. Don't get yourself into trouble about something so minor You should have checked the car before turning it over to him.
If you didn't remove them before signing over the car, go get new ones, they are not that expensive.
You could always ask him about it, and see if in his good grace he will return them to you.
However, used cars are sold "as is", and that includes everything in the vehicle at the time of the sale.
Take the loss.. You sold them to him when you turned over the keys to the car.
Suffer the lost
I would think that legally you sold him the title to the car. The stuff in the trunk isn't covered by the title. They are yours still. If you use the the spare key to get them yourself, you're breaking and entering. You could sue him for the stuff in small claims court if he refused to give them back. Here's a crazy idea - why not just ask him to give the stuff back?
suffer the loss cause if you sold him the car u also sold anything tha twas in the car as well. U shouldnt have a spare key plus he could get u for B%26E breaking and entering the car and taking his stuff. My advice would be ask him about it and he isnt a real prick he will give you the stuff back. and if not just suffer the loss
Why don't you just ask the guy? he probably think's your not interested in your stuff because you haven't contacted him, stop stressing and just ask the guy.
I'm sure if you ask him/her that you left some personal items in the car and you want to retrieve them he/she will let you take them. I don't see why the buyer would not let you have them back. However, if you feel a bit uneasy asking for these things back, maybe you should just go ahead and replace those items.
Ask this person the worst they can say is NO! and give the new owner the spare KEY!!
If its a co-worker you could just ask him maybe he hasn`t even looked in the trunk yet ..if he says theres nothing in there then just take the loss those items are not worth anything its not like you let something personal in there, it would be less time and trouble to just replace them..

I signed for a package for my neighbor lady & she's never home.?
Since I signed for it, i'm probably responsible for it now, otherwise I would take it to the office. (I live in apt) She works days %26 goes to college at night %26 never comes home until late. I am up late as well, but don't hear her when she comes in. Should I quietly knock on her door after midnight, take this package to the office, or leave a note on her door? I'm going to be gone for a week soon %26 want to get it to her before I leave. Any suggestions?
Answers:
Leave a note on her door stating that you signed for her package and to pick it up at the office. Take the package to the office, tell them what's going on, and leave it with them. They should have her phone number on file and can call her as well. The delivery company should have left it at the office for her when she wasn't home to receive it. I've lived in apartments for years and have received plenty of packages from UPS, FedEx, etc. and their policy is to leave it at an apartment complex office if no one is home, after sticking a missed package slip on the door. Leave her a note, leave the package at the office, problem solved.
Leave a note on her door with the days/hours when she can catch you (but don't mention you're going to be gone for a week, others could read that note too!)
leave a note on her door telling her you have a package for her that you signed for and in the note ask her to come pick it up
I would leave a note on her door and let her know that you will be leaving soon and that you would appriciate her picking up the package. Also you are responsible for it, however if she does not respond to your note or attempts at trying to reach her, you can always get the land lord involved and see if they can track her down. If that doesnt work, send the package back, but make sure you get a reciept for the package so that she doesnt say you stole it or something...better to be safe than sorry.
just leave a note on the door or in the mailbox
I'd leave her the note and your hours, mention you're up late and she can feel free to knock for it. But put it in a sealed envelope, just so passer byers can't read it.
I wouldn't leave it with the office because they are more than likely not 24 hours and she wouldn't be able to get it.

I signed a lease with my sister to help her with poor credit. I now need to get off the lease.live in PA..
I co-signed a lease with my sister to help her get an apartment because her credit is not so good. I do not live there, I have my own apartment in another town, and have a lease there. However, I no longer want my name on my sister's lease. Is there any way to get off of the lease without paying the remainer of the one year (it was signed one month ago, with 11 months remaining). Since my sister will still be living in the apartment and paying rent, how can I be sued for the remainder of the rent if she is paying it, since there are no actual "damages". Would an attorney be able to help me? Thank you.
Answers:
I'm in Pa also and I think you are pretty much stuck until the lease expires. You signed a legal contract for one year. If your sister doesn't pay the rent,they want someone else they can get it from.
If she rents from a private landlord,maybe you can talk them into it after she proves she is trust worthy,but if she rents from a complex,you can pretty much forget about it.
I did the exact same thing - co-sign. There are a few remedies you can try:
You can go to the owners and ask to be taken off. Probably after 90-120 days they may agree.
Yes, you can be sued. You do NOT need an attorney. You can contact your local housing authority and discuss with them.
Why can't you give your sister the benefit of the doubt. She may surprise her. Family is all we got - good, bad or indifferent....give her a chance.
Think that you are committed to it now until the lease expires. If she misses a month of rent, they will attempt to collect the money from you.
sorry your in for the term of the lease unless there is a buy out contract our the owners agree to take you off. Good luck
Whatever this "Housing Authority" is they can't interfer with a valid contract.
The only way to get off the lease is if the manager allows you to relinquish the lease in favor of your sister. I doubt that will happen since of her credit and especially this soon.
If she keeps up the payments and stays for 1/2 the lease you will be in a more powerful position to negotiate.
And an attorney won't deal with this either unless the lease itself is voidable. Have about $2,500 to find out?

I see a lot of fake id sites on the web, is there any way that they can legally be doing this inside the US?
Does it have to do with them creating their own templates and not copying government documents?
How do they get around the laws that would prohibit them from selling these id's?
Answers:
It is illegal. If caught they will be tried, convicted, go to jail and meet many new friends of the same sex.
no making a fake ID is illegal here because teens will do anything for drugs and alcohol or even cigarettes
If they are made to look official without being a duplicate of an official document or actually stating that it is official, then it is not illegal, even if it's a bit shady.
If they are a duplicate of an official document (like a State driver's license), or claim to be an official government document, then they are illegal.
fake i.D's are illegal there is no way you can get them legally but if you live in Los angeles California go to downtown l.a and you will hear people say " micas" in Spanish and it is cheap and it is really rare that you get caught in any way...
Yes is illegal to sell them, to buy them and a federal crime to use the mail to get or send them.
The trick is that most of those Internet companies are NOT physically in the US. nor the owners. They use foreign servers and fake companies. I wouldn't trust my credit car number to someone that sell fake Id's.

I say lock the sherriff up...?
Trying to follow this whole Paris Hilton thing, I personnally feel the judge is just trying to make a name for himself and is jealous of her life style. She went to jail, the sherriff let her out why not just let her be house arrested which is the usual punishment for the crime, its now between the judge and sherrif to determine his fate. What are your oppinions?
Answers:
I think the Judge isn't fit to sit on the bench. What is all this MAKE AN EXAMPLE of this person or this person.
Shouldn't the law apply EQUALLY to ALL regardless of their social or financial status?
And if the Sheriff violated a law then he should be charged for the offense and go to trial.
Yeah, I say he was in contempt of the court order and should be punished.
The judge is probably tired of celebrities breaking the law...and in a dangerous fashion (DUI)...and wants to make a point.
Honestly, I can't think of a better person to make a point with than Paris (I'm an idiot) Hilton.
She is young, the teens follow her much more closely than others like Bruce (I'm a bigot) Willis.
I am thinking that the judge is trying to reach nationwide to show many many youngsters that actions do have consequences...and hopefully this message will save a few teen lives as a result!
I think the sheriff was wrong. In the jails in LA county there are doctors and nurses that can treat any disease, mental or physical. Why couldn't P.H.'s be treated there? Too sick to go to jail? Don't think so!
i agree
The judge made a clear statement at the sentencing. The sheriff circumvented the judge. The sheriff now admits that he just took Paris' psychiatrist at face value. The sheriff did not do his job in my opinion.
She went to jail for a stupid Traffic Infraction.
You know criminals up here in Washington only get a couple months for stealing cars, and so I'm really surprised she got thrown in jail for only a stupid traffic infraction.
People who think she "deserves" it, really make me sick!
EVERYTHING IS POLITICS
AND PLAIN OLD BS
THERE IS MORE TO IT THEN THAT.
PARIS HILTON DIDN'T KISS ENOUGH
BOOTY.

The Sheriff decides who goes and who stays, the judge is wrong. The Sheriff has the power to declare the jail as full and un safe.. The Sherriff also has the power to determine if holding any person (who a Doctor says is sick and should be in Hospital) will result in a law suit.. Being in the Hospital is still being under arrest. It's the Sheriff's call.
The sheriff had no right to let her out without permission from the judge to do so. The judge had written specific instructions on her paperwork and the word "No" was written over and over in reference to several things, one being house arrest.
Paris was arrested last Sept for DUI. Her license was revoked in Nov and she was arrested for DUI again in Jan and Feb of this year. Then she has a court case and she is late for court. She is told she has to serve so many days and she finally reports to the jail but goes on about some health issue and the sheriff takes pity and releases her under house arrest WHICH the judge had already said she could not do.
If she was having problems in jail, she should have contacted her attorney and had him file the appropriate paperwork in her behalf, get medical documentation and work for a release. That paperwork was never filed even though the judge had been told it was on it's way.
Then she actually spends 3 days in jail, not 5, and goes home for one night. The judge orders her into court but someone else decided she would do her court appearance "on the phone" ~ something else the judge did not say was ok. So the judge orders her butt hauled into court and he had to wait for TWO hours before she got there.
Every step of the way she has shown nothing but arrogance and disrespect for the law. Her parents taught her to act like a brat and she does it well. This girl is 26 years old but acts like a 6 year old. It's about time she had to face responsibility for her attitude towards the law and her actions.
Everyone is sitting back feeling sorry for the crybaby because she can't do what she wants for a change ~ what if she had killed someone while she was driving while drunk? It's better she sheds a few tears now and wakes up to what she has done rather than have some innocent person killed on the street because of her total disrespect for mankind and the laws of the land.
And yes, I think the sheriff should be reprimanded in this case. I saw him on the news making excuses for his actions. There aren't any excuses so he can can it for all I care. He was wrong and just won't admit it.
And as one reporter said on TV earlier, if they let her do this, claiming she has a health problem, then they will have thousands in jails claiming to have some health issue and will want released on house arrest. They have to set the right precedence now and let all of them know it can't be done for anyone and that includes Paris.
Personally I'd like to see her sent to AZ and put in the Tent Jail for two weeks where she can find out what real life is all about. Mom and dad sure did not teach her to be a responsible adult, maybe jail will.
THe judge overstepped his bounds. The sheriff is the one legally that she was in custody of, and the one legally that can determine where she serves her sentence. This judge has set himself up for a severe slap by an appeals court, and I hope he gets it. The judge apparently thinks that he can do what he wants just because she's special. Once he sentenced her, he was done with his part. After that it's the sheriff's business.

I saw this bumper sticker and had to take action?
It said, My kid beat up your honor student.
I hadn't known that even happened. My boy never told me that he'd been beaten up. So I confronted the car owner and beat him up. I had to protect my boy.
Answers:
LOL, I dare you to use that as a defense in court ;-)
Yes you did.
Well done. Carry on now.
heh heh heh
Nice one.
Your funny... But actually American kids are getting beaten in academic studies... They cannot even come close to Asian schools, and don't even think about the rest of the world... The US is gotta lose it soon, believe me! It is why I continue to learn by myself to protect my child from being raise stupid vy our own school, and get beaten later when she reach's the working place...
You seem to have some misplaced anger...
You shoulda beat up the kid.
sweet!!
Hahahahahaha
Bumper stickers like that are soooo ignorant.
1.)Question is a joke mode: Pretty good one, Rudy!
2.) Question is not a joke mode: Just the car owner, Rudy?
Queston for you Rudy, How is it you knew that particular parent's child beat yours up? How do you even know your child was beaten up in the first place without asking your kid questions because you stated it yourself you did not know that your kid got beat up? Second, why would you risk everything you have to take revenge on someone you probably don't even know? I hate to tell you you are wrong for what you did but believe me it will come back to haunt you in the worst way. I will not be surprised if legal action both criminally and tortiously comes back and bites you in the butt. If it does I would highly recommend that you have an attorney on hand when it does. I hope that you will think twice before acting in such an irrational way in the future. next time use the legal system if and when it happens again. it is much better that way because then you don't have to worry about it coming back and biting you and your family in the butt later. good luck and please use a more rational way to solve the problem .beleive me I know the hard way that anger and irrationality from emotion causes more pain than good my kids are still suffering from my irrational outburst from 16 yrs ago and now I am paying the consequences of my stupidity and immaturity.
Rudy.. do you know the person that drive the car in that moment... but this sticker say you son name? this is a good joke... is the a sticker next time say I pump.. you wife.. do you to kill the guy to drive the car. I hope no.. what happen the expression freedom...?
we are in trouble!
yeah right
what the hell?
I hadn't known that even happened. My boy never told me that he'd been beaten up. So I confronted the car owner and beat him up. I had to protect my boy.
Answers:
LOL, I dare you to use that as a defense in court ;-)
Yes you did.
Well done. Carry on now.
heh heh heh
Nice one.
Your funny... But actually American kids are getting beaten in academic studies... They cannot even come close to Asian schools, and don't even think about the rest of the world... The US is gotta lose it soon, believe me! It is why I continue to learn by myself to protect my child from being raise stupid vy our own school, and get beaten later when she reach's the working place...
You seem to have some misplaced anger...
You shoulda beat up the kid.
sweet!!
Hahahahahaha
Bumper stickers like that are soooo ignorant.
1.)Question is a joke mode: Pretty good one, Rudy!
2.) Question is not a joke mode: Just the car owner, Rudy?
Queston for you Rudy, How is it you knew that particular parent's child beat yours up? How do you even know your child was beaten up in the first place without asking your kid questions because you stated it yourself you did not know that your kid got beat up? Second, why would you risk everything you have to take revenge on someone you probably don't even know? I hate to tell you you are wrong for what you did but believe me it will come back to haunt you in the worst way. I will not be surprised if legal action both criminally and tortiously comes back and bites you in the butt. If it does I would highly recommend that you have an attorney on hand when it does. I hope that you will think twice before acting in such an irrational way in the future. next time use the legal system if and when it happens again. it is much better that way because then you don't have to worry about it coming back and biting you and your family in the butt later. good luck and please use a more rational way to solve the problem .beleive me I know the hard way that anger and irrationality from emotion causes more pain than good my kids are still suffering from my irrational outburst from 16 yrs ago and now I am paying the consequences of my stupidity and immaturity.

I saw in the news theother day about this kid in Afghanistan who had a bomb strapped onto him?
by the Taliban's henchmen He was told it was a vest filled with flowers for the American troops, and that he should run at them and push the button to release the flowers. This kid was 6 years old! He went to the local police instead because he thought something was wrong! is this the kind of thing muslim radicals think is good? Is there any wonder they are hated so much?
Answers:
The Japanese did it in WW11,The Koreans did it,Vietnam,and Afghanistan. What is new. Life meant nothing to them not even their own children.
Its sad.
Just remember, it WAR.
War doesnt have any rules. that is why it is so scorned.
dropping bombs on civilian sites, kids wearing explosives...just different tactics of war. In both, innocent people die.
Sad world.
It is quite sad.

I saw a telephone box with a July 1st compliant no smoking sign in it...?
It was one without a door, just 3 sides and a roof.
Does that seriously comply after July 1st smoking ban?
Answers:
I suppose it does its a public place, I do know of a couple of pubs that have built "bus shelters" for their smoking patrons!.
Moonpig; our council has said that if you are a tenant you are not allowed to smoke in your home if you have any council operatives in your property. But then renting on the private market landlords can say that they want non smokers in their property!
yeh i saw that as well yeh it does comply with the ban as its and inclosed public area
I believe its true
I think it does, as I also saw one in a bus stop, after stubbing my cigarette out!
next they will be telling us that we cant smoke at home. Just think of the money they will lose!! ha ha!!
Yes it does.
yes it is a public place
Who will really enforce this law/ban? I am a non-smoker, but I am against the non-smoking ban. Americans rights are being nickle and dimed away! I say smoke em' if you got em', and if you get approched by law enforcement, tell them you were picking up a lit ciggy from someone that threw it on the ground! OR, stand up for your rights and fight it in court that it is your right to smoke!
This is ridiculous. They sure like to sell them to you but you cannot smoke.$10,000,000,000 profit made for the Government but 2,000,000,000 in health cost. Do the math ,They will never make buying cigarettes illegal.two faced?You bet!!
I was told that if the structure has more than 2 sides then you are not allowed to smoke in it!
Will that stop the yobs letting "Fireworks" off in them ?
12 days remaining
yes it does
I'm guessing it was a BT box as there don't seem to be many others.
I would imagine BT sought legal opinion on this and that it is OK.
It's a pity they don't take the same attitude towards clearing up all the other bodily functions that occur in phone boxes
3 sides and a roof - i'm impressed, the one near me has 2 and a third intact sides, and half a phone.
But yes, as an inclosed public space, it does (yes, the world HAS gone mad). I guess anyone going in their after you may not like it, or something.
Yes its daft but thats the law
Hello all
All these are those poor sufferers who have been inhaling the crap that comes out of a single cigg %26 its simply telling us that "You Dont Need To Help Yourself" but "We will help you eventually cut it down" this would be by taking out primary places that might encourage people to begin smoking %26 also for those who are used to having a *** with a drink.
I just invested money on a beatiful house, dont have to earn big money to buy a big house call richard on uk property invest on 01214525600 tell him i told you, at least that will give me extra 125 pounds that I used to spend on tabacco and another 320 pounds for drinking outside.
This would effect the Bars %26 night clubs alot since 65% of major clubers are smokers other 35% are dead anyway because of smokers.
It has been 40 days now since I have given up, no I not taken anything for it like Nicotine Patches or any form of drugs, but I have got some tips for you:-
try staying at home, buy nintendo wii gives you a great workout!, avoid sugar this make u hyperactive tells ur brain to smoke I felt that, sleep more if poss to avoid time to think about having one or do something then sleep but dont eat before sleep, finally try smoking the crapest cigg you ever smoked like Dunhil lights worked for me, try that.

I saw a manager beat up a patron on their premises?
what could happen it was really bad the customer called the police and charged him with assult he the custumer was bleeding
Answers:
he'll be charge with assault, and depend on whether the "customer" wants to press additional charges like pain and suffering, emotional pain etc, most likely he will probably have to pay a LOT of money and possibly jail
well this manager has no business doing that. the patron who was probably in the store got caught doing something wrong but why not let the police handle this kind of thing

I ripped a dollar bill in half the other day?
what can i do to fix it? (tape, bring it to a bank,)
Answers:
Tape it together and spend it, take both halves or the largest half to the bank and have it replaced. Your choice.
tape it together and spend it.
bring it to the bank they should give the money for it if you have all the peices of it
You can do either.
OMG U LOST A DOLLAR guess u cant pay your rent
TAPE AND A STORE IS ALL YOU NEED TO SPEND IT.
Just tape it back together and put it back into circulation.
scotch tape it
As long as you have at least 3/4 of the bill, a bank will trade it out for a new one.
Legally, you're sposed to take it to a bank.
Then you can expect a visit from the 'Revenoores for destroying currency.
It's the law.
Well, I've Done That Before But I'm Australian So When We Rip It We Can Hand in Both Pieces And They'll Accept It, Maybe Tape Would Work :) Very Useful!

I returned a computer to one of those rent ot own places, now they are saying I didnt. what can I do?
So, I returned a laptop that I had rented from a rent-to-own place(quality rentals) and now I've been getting phone calls telling me I need to pay them or return the computer(that I dont have!)! I returned it because it was a piece of crap that was over 3 years old. I wasnt going to pay $120/month for an old, outdated computer.
So, what are my options?
Answers:
Did you get a receipt? Do you remeber the person you returned it to? You might want to check there.
You should have proof that you returned it.
Show them your receipt stating that you returned it. Case closed.
You didn't keep the receipt? Ask them to check their inventory...see if they can find it.
If they can't find it, and you can't produce a receipt, it becomes a case of "he said, she said". They will flag you and destroy your credit, and your only recourse will be the courts.
Unless someone there signed for the return - then you're probably out of luck. If someone did sign, for the return, and you have a copy of it - take it to them as proof - if not, then you really should contact a lawyer. I most states, if you owe a business money and they do NOT contact you about the balance due within 2 years - then the balance is not collectable anymore.
well they should of given you a statement when you returned it, you send them a COPY of the statement. keep the original in your possession in a safe place. if then they still harass you contact the better business bureau
they should have given you something in exchange for it- if you left without getting anything in return there may be nothing you can do about it. Sorry.
Try to find something that may help you like phone records or a receipt.

I reported identity fraud to police 2day. They were unhelpful I said forget it. Where else can I go?
I went to a local police station to report a crime of identity fraud and the police just kept picking holes in what I was saying, being rude and obnoxious toward me. I wrote to the companies concerned but should the police not be doing more to help, instead of being rude? What do you think?
Answers:
If it involves the use of your social security number, try contacting your local Secret Service office. They used to handle ssn fraud before the creation of the Homeland Security Dept.; don't know if they still do.
You should also contact the 3 credit bureaus, (Experian, Equifax and TransUnion,) to let them know what's going on. They should be able to put a note on your file that will prevent this person from opening new accounts in your name.
Good luck.

my 7 year old was beaten %26 mugged while a 14 yr old videod it on his phone.
the park where it happened is on cctv.
2 weeks later the police turned up by which time all the evidence had been recorded over
what can they do? Identity fraud is a federal crime, and unless you suffered over $2000 in damages, you are pretty much left on your own to recover from it.
Write to the Three Credit report agencies stating that your identity has been stolen. Pull up your credit history and report and mark any transactions/loan/cc that you do not own or have (contesting)
write to your CC companies about the apparent theft of your identity.
and get a lawyer.
They are only interested in you if you are driving at 100mph in a 30mph zone, anything else is of no importance to them.
ffs they arrested two schoolgirs for chalking on a pavement, that`s their mentality.
:-(
I went to a police station to report a lost purse once. The lady officer was really nice about it all but she said there was nothing they could do as i had lost the purse on private property (it was left on the counter at a petrol station on a main road). She got me the number for them though and allowed me to use the phone in the cop shop to ring BP.
Then last week i was reversed into and when the police was called they said there was no reason for them to come out since nobody was hurt. The police station was less than 5 minutes walk away.
I think next time i won't bother with the police.
unless you are a speeding motorist the police are not interested.
it depends on the type of fraud,if it concerns credit cards the police will not deal with it.You have to go to the banks concerned,they have more experience in this type of fraud and have experienced investigators then the police have It is a sad indictment of this country i am afraid.

I rent two garage spaces and last night my Pontiac Firebird was stolen?
I only have liability insurance - does the land lord hold any responsibility? I rent from a large corporation.
Answers:
Unless you purchased rental insurance from the corporation or had an agreement with them (such as a parking garage) whereby liability was accepted while in their ORDINARY care, you have no case against the landlord.
Even if this was a parking garage, there would have to have existed a 'bailment' whereby ordinary care was not exercised before the court could assign responsibility to an inactive third-party.
You'll need to check your lease, but theft is usually specifically excluded from such an agreement. Sorry.
Depends on the contract.. does it say they are not liable for theft? If not, you will be out of luck
Not really. From the garage you are pretty much just renting a parking space, not a gurantee that nothing will happen to your vehicle. Unless they did something to contribute to the theft.
nope, its your stuff...you insure it, lock it. protect it best you can,

I rent in ill. can i break lease without paying for :car vandalized(3 times)my 4 & 8 yr. olds threatened by 18
constant harrassment from gangs in the complex drugs and drinking goin on all the time car vandalized 3 times kids (4 %26 8
) chased inside by 16 to 18 yr olds swearing at them. anyway to break lease without paying remaing months?
Answers:
unfortunately, it's not your landlords problem you moved into a neighborhood without doing the proper research required to make it a safe haven for your children.
you can try a sub lease, or give him two months notice. Most standard Chicago lease agreements have a stipulation in it for a two month notice. Read your lease and then talk to him about your concerns.
It depends, how long has this been going on?, if it is just
recently then you can break the lease but move as quickly
as possible. You do not have to live in an unsafe or dangerous
area. If the problem has been going on awhile the first thing
a judge would ask you is why have you stayed so long, this
could cause you to lose a lawsuit against you.
I would talk to your landlord, explain the situation to him
and ask him if he would be willing to allow you to break
the lease, make sure you read the lease to see if he limits
his liability, specifically on your personal property. If he
is unwilling to let you out of the lease let him know that
you will hold him responsible for personal liability for
any injuries to your children for not maintaining a safe
environment, if his liability for your personal property is
not limited, let him know that you will hold him responsible
for that as well.
Hope this helps

I recived a summons to appear in court in 21 days is that business days or weekend days included?
Answers:
No-these are calendar days. The day of the notice does not count. You begin counting the days on the day after the notice was filed or dated. THIS IS NOT BUSINESS DAYS in the U.S.--so be careful. However, this is odd. There should be an exact date somewhere on the notice if it is to appear in court. If it's to do some act, then it could be 21 days. If this is not a U.S. question--ignore me completely.
Usually weekend are excluded, but check in your area for precise information.
The actual court date should be on your summons, in real small federal print-read slowly.
... and is that days and nights or only days?
That would vary from state to state, call the court clerk.
In the federal courts if the number of days is 11 or more it is calendar, if it is 10 or less it is business.
no,no,no it means moon days
There should be a date on the court paper that tells what day, time, etc to appear. I would say 21 business days, but with courts you never know. Call and ask to be on the safe side.
I recieved e-mail stating that I was 1 of the 20 winners of the may 10th coca/cola and british american promo?
i wanted to know if this was legitamate promotion,it said I won 1000,000 pds, i then recieved a e-mail from a Kennith Smith who is suppost to be the coca/cola promotion agent, he stated that fastway courier would deliver my winnings after sending them money for handing and delivery,insurance,admin costs please someone let me know if this is a hoax,thank you
Answers:
It's a scam. They will collect; they won't deliver . If you want to bother, forward the fraudulent email to phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com, spam@uce.gov, and 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov.

FTC: http://www.ftc.gov/

It's a hoax, coca cola would pay for it if you won.
Coca Cola does not need your money. Sounds like a scam.
OMG! I was too. S-C-A-M! Looked pretty convincing.
hoax.Put a block on it.
SCAM!!!!!!!!!!...
Lots of emails go round, especially scams. If you are ever in doubt go to www.snopes.com, type in the title or something about the article. I've sent lots of bogus emails until I discovered this site. Keeps you from looking or doing something stupid. And if it's real, great for you. Probably though, it's a scam. Good luck!
Most of these are scams, If you are still unsure ask for their email, or phone up the Coca Cola company and ask whether they run such promotional offers, I however doubt this is legitamate and I would ignore it. These scammars say you have won a massive prize and say that they need to cover admin, courier costs which you send off the money, they then say the prices went up and ask for more, basically you send money to get money, but you never get the money.
Send to junk emails and delete in my view.
It's a scam, delete it as spam.
This DEFINITELY sounds to me like b.s. If you didn't enter a contest and they're asking you for money up front - it's a hoax!
its a scam - sorry. play the guy - email him back to send it c.o.d since fastway has that option, we do it in ireland all the time.
see what kind of a reaction you can get - have fun with it.
sorry that you have to get back to work though.
its a scam
It's a scam. Here's an idea: Tell them you agree, but that you'll only pay COD. That is, you'll pay them all these fees when they show up with your 'winnings'. If they agree, set up a time and place and then call the local police department to grab them when they arrive!
Here's how the scam works.
You'll be sent a very real looking cashiers check to cover the expenses. You're supposed to cash it and wire back the expenses. They'll even tell you go ahead and wait a few days for the check to clear. It will, for now. Even your bank will tell you it's good.
So then you wire the money, and you can never get it back.
Then 3 - 6 weeks later, the cashiers check comes back as a phoney, and your bank will want that money back.
It's a scam.
By the way, it's always a scam anytime someone sends you a check or money order, and asks you to send them back some money as a fee or refund. It could be you're selling something online, or you've one some contest you've never heard of, or whatever. Stay alert and don't be swindled out of your hard earned money.
Lastly, I have won a contest or sweepstakes from Pepsi. The prize was $2,001 back in 2001. I was one of 1,000 or may 100 winners, I forget. I had to fill out some forms and send them back first, but I never had to pay a cent other than postage.
It is a Hoax , you might want to forward the e-mail to coca-cola corporation to make them aware of it .
Answers:
It's a scam. They will collect; they won't deliver . If you want to bother, forward the fraudulent email to phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com, spam@uce.gov, and 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov.

It's a hoax, coca cola would pay for it if you won.
Coca Cola does not need your money. Sounds like a scam.
OMG! I was too. S-C-A-M! Looked pretty convincing.
hoax.Put a block on it.
SCAM!!!!!!!!!!...
Lots of emails go round, especially scams. If you are ever in doubt go to www.snopes.com, type in the title or something about the article. I've sent lots of bogus emails until I discovered this site. Keeps you from looking or doing something stupid. And if it's real, great for you. Probably though, it's a scam. Good luck!
Most of these are scams, If you are still unsure ask for their email, or phone up the Coca Cola company and ask whether they run such promotional offers, I however doubt this is legitamate and I would ignore it. These scammars say you have won a massive prize and say that they need to cover admin, courier costs which you send off the money, they then say the prices went up and ask for more, basically you send money to get money, but you never get the money.
Send to junk emails and delete in my view.
It's a scam, delete it as spam.
This DEFINITELY sounds to me like b.s. If you didn't enter a contest and they're asking you for money up front - it's a hoax!
its a scam - sorry. play the guy - email him back to send it c.o.d since fastway has that option, we do it in ireland all the time.
see what kind of a reaction you can get - have fun with it.
sorry that you have to get back to work though.
its a scam
It's a scam. Here's an idea: Tell them you agree, but that you'll only pay COD. That is, you'll pay them all these fees when they show up with your 'winnings'. If they agree, set up a time and place and then call the local police department to grab them when they arrive!
Here's how the scam works.
You'll be sent a very real looking cashiers check to cover the expenses. You're supposed to cash it and wire back the expenses. They'll even tell you go ahead and wait a few days for the check to clear. It will, for now. Even your bank will tell you it's good.
So then you wire the money, and you can never get it back.
Then 3 - 6 weeks later, the cashiers check comes back as a phoney, and your bank will want that money back.
It's a scam.

I recieved a request to garnish someones wages for child support but...?
This person works for tips. I am temperarily managing my grandfathers resturant and I have never came across this before. The guy works as our bartender and waiter. How do I resolve this situation?
Answers:
Contact the department doing the garnishment. If you ignore it, the company is in violation of state law and can be fined. There should be a phone number on the form for you to call.
The child support garnishment is probably why the person is working for tips.
I've had several people start with my company and work for 2 or 3 months until the child support garnishment order finds them and then they don't show up for work anymore.
Tell the dead beat son-of-a-***** to support his kids.
You are required to treat reported tips as wages. The wage garnishment will tell you what the limits are. If there is not enough money available to comply, the limits on the amount to be deducted will solve your problem. You are not required to go in to your own pocket in order to comply.
If you ignore it as one idiot advised, you will likely (depending on where you live) be liable for the support yourself (or the business).
A garnishment is a court order. So, as advised, treat his tips like salary (which you should be doing anyway per IRS regulations) and garnish them.
Do what the law says, you can call irs to explain. These children can not survive without food, diapers, medical attention . these dead beat dads need to wear condoms...
don't be stupid, comply with the order, there is no point in letting the dead beats problems become your problem.
Go to the "Labor Bureau" office of your state , they will give you the acurate information.
If you make a mistake you can be in fined big time so go directly to them and they will tell you what to do to avoid any legal problem.

I recently settled a lawsuit if I file a chapter 13 bankruptcy will my settlement money be safe?
Answers:
it may depend wha the law suit is for but i dont think it is safe.
no.
Generally no...it all depends on the source and purpose of the funds..but generally funds such as a settlement will not be safe
why file bankruptcy??
They will take it some or all of it away to pay your debt. It is considered income and you'd have to declare it. It is a crime to hide your income, but in this case, it is public record. There's no hiding it.
yes...you r ok
NO if you have money you are not bankrupt therefore you cannot file bankruptcy! It is called logic try it sometime
You have to pay back your debts, both from a legal and moral stand point.
You owe the money.
I recently recieved a summons to court for consumption of alcohol by a minor as well as possesion?
i live in the state of maine and i was wondering what type of punishment i would recieve, im 18 so it will be in regular court
Answers:
If this is your first offense you will probably just get a slap on the wrist along with community service or a fine (or both).
Well I don't live in Maine...but when I got cited for underage drinking, I went to court and they gave me probation for 11 months and 29 days. half supervised; where I had to go see a probation officier every month. I was suppose to take drug and alcohol classes, but my probation officier didn't make me. It ended up costing me like $700 in court costs and probation fees. Good luck
You will likely pay a fine, be on probation, do community service, and take classes on drug and alcohol awareness for a first offense. As long as you follow the terms of your probation and complete everything the judge requires, you should not face any jail time.

I recently moved into a new apartment.the address was logged with the my local authority!?
Nobody else was informed of my change of address, my housing benefit was duly approved and all my data was logged with the local housing, name ect ect.Two days later i received a message at that address demanding that i contact a particular individual. The data protection act prevents a third party from accessing information where i live or my name! HAS THIS PERSON BROKEN THE LAW? WHAT DO I NEXT?
Answers:
There has been a serious breach of security in your local council data base. You need proffessional advice. Or go to the police. Good luck.
A person's address is public record, not privileged information.
I assume you live in the UK.
The simple answer is as follows;
1. The DPA does not prevent a third party accessing where you live or your name. It's probably on the electoral roll for a start and possibly the phone book. But irrespective, the DPA does not give you the protection you imagine.
2. I don't know who the person is, or what they want; but on the facts you have outlined, I am unaware how they are said to have broken the law. Certainly not by contacting you, or 'finding out where you live'.
3. What do you do next? Contact them or ignore them, as you see fit. If they are a law enforcement bodty, you may think it better to contract them - but it's up to you, presumably you have some idea what they want.

I recently left an asda store and i wanted to know if other people have suffored with this bad workplace!?
I have witnessed enough and wanted to leave,during my time there i have witnessed the managers bullying staff,rascism,bullying,some one recently got sacked or forced out for eating toast which costs 6p without paying!!another for a bannana! Also the managers were constently watching us through the cctv cameras is this alowed??I hate asda and wont ever shop in there again it sucks!
Answers:
Yes - my husband worked there and it was a load of crap. Managers have such an attitude you'd think they were working in a nasa space station, and holding degrees in nuclear physics. I think that's supermarkets in general - I was recently working for Morrisons in quite a senior position. I had to write notes for staff to follow to in order to do a particular task - I had to put pictures and flowcharts in it etc and my boss just kept saying to me "it's not that they're thick..." After a week I was saying "no?! well what is it because of?!" - none of the warehouse staff would talk to me, because i was in a suit - none of the directors would talk to me because i was beneath them - and the only other "suit" people smelt of fake tan and spent all day talking about their latest diet. I walked out after a week and laughed when asked what could be done to make me stay - ha ha - f*** that!!
Asda is meant to be like the third best place to work for in the UK. I read this on the news.
As for people who were sacked by eating a banana and toast without paying, I'm sorry but that is stealing, it doesn't matter that it was cheap, its still wrong.
If you felt you were being bullied then you should have talked to someone about it.
Sorry, but you have not supported your charges with facts. I am sure your business will not be missed!! Go elsewhere as you say you will.
Chow!!
Its not just Asda, its Tesco as well.
However staff should remember "if it aint paid for then its theft.," and some will suffer the consiquences if caught.
During my time with Tesco I witnessed the store manager on a floor walk take ice lollies out of the sales cabinet and offer them to the duty managers on the floor walk with him. This included the head of instore security.
I also witnessed a part time student given instant dismissal for theft when he took a bite from a rotten peach that had been signed of in the waste book and was awaiting disposal.
So conclusion. If your the manager you can take and eat items without paying for them, If your anyone else, you cannot.
Asda is owned by Wal-mart an American company, this is custom and practise with American owned companies.
Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrison's are no different they all deserve to be boycotted for the way they have ruined what used to be known as local community shops who served the public instead of the supermarket God "Profit".

I recently contacted my sheriff's dept to file a report .?
On over $19,500 worth of wire being stolen from my shop and residence. They have yet to send anybody out to fill out a written report. I've contacted them now 5 times and each time they say they're going to send somebody out, but have yet to do it. I've even left three messages with our sheriff himself but he has never returned any of my calls. Any suggestions?
Answers:
Each city has an independent investigator that his sole job is to investigate reports against law enforcement.
Weather it's individuals who file, or it could be a police shooting.
What I would recommend you do, is call the sheriff's office again, as well as the sheriff tell them you are calling for the 6th time, you want a police officer sent to your place of business to file a theft report. Tell them you will be forced to contact your Omsbudman and will be filing a complaint against the sheriff's office is you do not have a response immediately.
If you do not get the satification you feel you deserve (weather the Deputy shows or not) I would recommend you determine if you need to file a report with your local Omsbudman.
If they show up and you do not feel satifaction they I would strongly advise you to file with the Omsbudman.
Go to the station and file a report.
Get a lawyer and/or find out the next rung up the ladder is and file a complaint...if unknown, file a complaint with Attorney General in your State (most States, this can be done online). Also, file a claim with your business insurance if you have not already done so as they will pursue the matter to the fullest extent if they end up having to payout on a business policy (and most insurance companies have deeper pocket than you likely have to pursue the matter).
Get together copies of invoices/statements showing what you ahve paid for the wire that was stolen and dates that you have contacted the Sherriff's Dept.
Go to the station and file a report.Then write or call your Representative and Senator and Report this Sheriff.He needs to be held accountable for not doing his job.
Good Luck.

I recently asked alegal question on social services i need more help how can we fight against social services

Answers:
you need to go get legal help straight away, thats the only way you will get anything sorted out
You need a lawyer badly. If you can't afford it, talk to legal aid. If there's a university with a law school in your area, many of them offer legal assistance as well.
Good luck.
mental illness is a very grey area i have had problems with that and access to my son
you need to speak to a solicitor
I would strongly suggest you get legal advise and legal aide if you are sure you have a case against SS. Go to the CAB on Monday and talk with them.
u say ur a professional.. in what? co sit obviously doesnt need u to be able to spell
they are there to protect the children , isn't that what you want . you are not the professional here. this is for your protection too. he needs to prove himself first before they take him off this restriction.
in my opinion it out of order but they only have your children in mind you need to see a mental health expert and get leagal advice. i'm sure it will be fine and when it's sorted go for compensation for distress. good luck. be thankful people care even if they get it wrong. they're only human. hope your a happy family again soon x
There must have been serious issues if the social services say that the father of the children have to leave the family home. This is why I believe that you have not been completely truthful in your question.
If the social services state that your husband can only have supervised contact then he IS considered a danger to the children. No court, without good reason takes children away from parents and further, demands that a husband should be seperated from his wife.
Your question is what can you DO to have your husband still live at the address with you? The answer I believe is nothing. And, if you breach an order of the court you risk having your children taken away from you forever. You must protect your children from your husband as requested by the Court.

I received notification of P2P lawsuit for copyright infringement; what should I do?
I go to a university in California and recently I received a letter that tells me the RIAA wants to settle with me for copyright infringement (I.E. downloading music via LimeWire). All they have is my IP Address, and they suggest I settle for $3000 within 40 days before they file suit in federal court. I've been reading on the internet and it seems like the RIAA is suing a lot of people but they aren't getting any results. What should I do in this case? I will consult a professional lawyer, but does anyone know or have any personal experience with this situation?
Answers:
Just ignore them, dont respond in any way.
It's RIAA extortion.
Get a lawyer and fight it. Most (if not almost all) of those who fight this attempt at extortion WIN.
The RIAA is looking for the easy bucks. If they have to go to court, they'll back down.
I hates the RIAA.
Glad I got my stuff before it became taboo. It's a shame they want to smother what could have been a digital renaissance for music..
How weird.. I was also e-mailed about a copyright infringement but with software.. Based on what I've read, MOST people who have had to deal with the RIAA's ridiculous lawsuits just settle and pay up. I'm sorry to hear about your troubles; the RIAA certainly does blow
Just settle it. It's not worth the hassle. If you go to trial, you will spend well over $3000 on a lawyer, and if you lose then the RIAA may appeal it and it will drag on for years. If you ultimately lose the case, you could be liable for tens of thousands of dollars in penalties, depending on the number of songs you have downloaded. What would you do at trial - claim you never used limewire? It's next to impossible to defend these cases, because they have your IP address and it's very easy for them to prove that you were downloading stuff. So a trial is kind of pointless.
Tough one. I have a god friend of mine who does that stuff all the time but he uses sombody elses IP address. He can route the signal to act like it's coming rom their computer and not from his. He also uses it to make international phone calls. Look into this on the internet because I can guarantee you it is possible and it does happen I know for a fact, well sort of, I do believe him. And I've seen him use it in that form.
If this isn't a scam, and is from RIAA, and they can make a case against you personally, then they would do so. When and if they file against you personally, you should not ignore it because they will get a default judgment against you. It sounds like you may have some valid defenses, if it ever gets that far (such as no proof that you were the one doing anything at that IP address).

Its nonsense. Never ever answer anything like that. Report it as spam. Don't even write back with a nasty letter. Then they know you exist and will try to scam you some more. They will also try to find out if you have on line accounts and scam those as well.
It's a scam.

It is most likely a scam. If you dial that number, you will probably pay around $1000 per minute. International laws allow people to do this. Find a contact person from the yahoo website, and email them.
This is a scam big time!! Anytime you get an email saying that you won some sort of lottery and you have never played any type of lottery then it is fake. You can always tell by the overseas address.
IT'S A SCAM
Its totally real! Quick, give them all your information so they can give you the money!!
Okay, I cant keep up the charade. I was just hoping you would fall for it so we can keep up good old natural selection.

Report it to Yahoo.
Gee, someone got the same identification numbers but different contact information. How would that happen if it wasn't just being forwarded? Oh yeah, "Yahoo International Internet Lottery " only seems to exist in e-mails of this type, not in, say, some official way, if you Google it.

I received a warning from the city for not mowing my NEIGHBOR'S LAWN?!!?
I am renting a house with a huge lot next door that belongs to someone else. I used to mow it but it took me hours and it was so hard cuz it has huge logs and boulders and is pretty bumpy. So I quit mowing it and just mowed my front and back yards. I just received a warning from the city that I need to mow it or I will be sent to court. Is this right? What can I do about this?
Answers:
You have absolutely nothing to worry about; assuming this lot in question legally is not part of the house and land you are renting, the lawn in question is of no concern to you. They can haul you into court all they want but I guarantee you they will be wearing egg on their faces when the judge realizes you don't own the land in question nor have you signed anything that legally obligates you to take care of said land.
Assuming they actually do end up taking you to court, walk in prepared with the following: a copy of the rental agreement you have which clearly shows the address in question. Take a full shot photo view of the two properties side by side and a shot of the backyards, etc. Also bring in a copy of who owns the land in question where the house sits.
I don't know how to help, but that sounds CRAZY!! Why can't your neighbour mow their own lawn!
mow it, then send a bill to the city charging them for your services
Any way of finding out who the lot belongs to, and forwarding their details to the court?
Sounds like someone saw you mowing it and figured it was yours.
I would call the office that sent the notice.
I would ask them to investigate the ownership of the property and send them the notice.
you have to go to court and talk to the judge. if you have any proof that you do not own that property then take it with you
Take it to court.. it is not your property, therefore NOT your responsibility. Because you were doing, someone probably assumed it was yours and reported you once you stopped. However, they cannot make you 'keep up' property that is not yours. Who ever owns it, needs to make arrangements to have it taken care of. Bottom line. Good luck!
Wow! I don't know. Are you sure the lot belongs to someone else? My mom lives in Austin and mows her neighbors lawn once in a while. I would talk to your neighbor. Maybe if they called the city, things could be resolved. You might need proof that the property is not your responsibility.
Are you sure that lot does not belong to the landlord?
If it's not your (or your landlord's) property, it's not your responsibility.
that is just wrong!! but why don't you just tell the court that.
how long have you been mowing it?
my recommendation would be to keep mowing it. there is a clause in the US laws that if you use someone else's land and they don't inform you that you need to cease, that their land becomes yours (5-7 years depending on your state).
part of the homestead act. keep mowing it and then it will be your land legally.
or else say it isn't your yard and then the case will be dismissed.
Have you contacted the city to tell then you don't own the property? They should be able to check taxes and find the owner.
However, in Texas if you maintain property that doesn't belong to you for a certain length of time (not sure how long) you can go through steps to legally obtain it.
Go to court and explain its not yours....
Tell them if they want it mowed to do it themselves.
You have no legal rights to mow or make any change on property belonging to others
I started to think this was a joke until I saw you lived in Texas, now I understand.
Call the city, and explain the situation, that you only rent one parcel and not the whole neighborhood. If the high grass or weeds bother them, let them send someone out to cut down the offending grass, or weeds.
Also, call you landlord and see where his property line starts and stops, you may have been a victim of false information, that is, it might belong to your lease or rent agreement.
go to court and show them proof that it is not yours and that should be it.
Sounds like the nosey neighbor syndrome. Somebody saw you doin that and assumed that you owned that piece of land as well and now you are not keeping up "part of your property" which devaluates the neighborhood.
It is not your responsibility(in fact, you are tresspassing) but all the city recieved is this complaint from somebody that used your house address as the location and the city mailed you the warning. You can either let them know, (I would phone down first and try to do it over the phone). Let them figure out the confusion. You are not responsible for it.
Notify the city that this lot does not belong to you. Cities are now doing a beautification thing and are making land owners cut there lawns. In some cities, they will cut it if you don't and then send you a bill for services rendered by the city. If you can find out who owns the property, also send that name with your notification. However it should be very easy for the city to find out who really owns the land through the property tax file.
Depending on the city you are in, you might be able to go on-line and see whos name the property is in. This can be made easier if you know the street address of the property, or lot number.
Print it out and take it with you to court. Also take your property tax records for the property you do have.
It could be that one of your neighbors assumed that it was your property and when you stopped mowing it, they reported you to the city.
you have no obligation. they do not know the facts and can only inconvenience you. call the inspectors department and explain it to them.
They probably assumed it was yours because you have mowed it before. It is complete crap that they are hounding you about it. I would fine out the owners of the property before you go to court, if you dont already know them. I think you willl get out of it. It is not your responsibility and the city has no ground to cite you. If needed get a surveyor to get property lline information. Good luck.
it could be the city has a property index number that shows your house and vacant land as the same parcel,,,,,,,or a section of civil code requires adjacent resident to attend to this,,,,,need to search for pertinent laws,and and write the city mgr about this.owner probly owns both properties %26 didn't tell you of an undisclosed legal obligation in the lease agreement,,,,,you might need an attorney,,,there are lowcost attys that you pay 25 bucks a month to represent you,can findem on net
Go to court and explain you don't own the property. They will research it and find the real owner.
First get the deed signed over to you , to the property next store - frame it - then start mowing.
Are you sure that what you think of as your neighbours yard isn't part of the property you rent? If your neighbour owns the property does he also own your property? Do you have use of that property? Some things for you to check up on.

I received a speeding ticket and hired a lawyer...?
She said she would take care of it, but then I received a failure to appear notice. I called her and she said she sent the papers into the court and not to worry about it. However, now I have received a notice of suspended licence. What are my legal implecations and what should I do? Also, is there a warrent out for my arrest??
Answers:
1. You are the victim of legal malpractice.
2. Do you have anything in writing that shows you hired this lawyer?
3. You need to paper the file. Write to the attorney with copies of the failure to appear and suspension notices. Tell her that you expect her to get the case restored to the calendar, the suspension un-done, and that she will defend the ticket vigorously.
4. One week later, since you won't have heard from the attorney, you need to do two things. First, you will need to get the case restored for a hearing. You'll need to contact the traffic court and explain that the lawyer neglected the case. Be prepared to indicate what your defense is. Second, you will need to contact the county bar association. The person might not really be an attorney, and the sooner you find out, the better. If this is in New York State, the state courts website, http://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/attorney...
can be consulted to see if the "attorney" is really in good standing.
Legal implications: your license is suspended due to your failure to appear. You need to either get the case restored to the calendar, or take your lumps and pay the fine, accept the points, and get on with your life. There likely is not a warrant out for you, but if you are pulled over before you get the suspension lifted, you could be facing enhanced charges, such as aggravated unlicensed operation, which is one of the things that got Paris her new digs. So don't neglect your own case the way your "lawyer" did, call the court and get a new hearing date.
If the lawyer is really a lawyer, tell her that you want to hear from her malpractice carrier and this is a demand for return of what you paid her to date. If she refuses to identify the malpractice carrier, call the County Bar Association and file a grievance for neglect of case. It won't take the points off your license but you might get the carrier to supply a new attorney and/or pay the fine. It's worth a shot.
Call the court and see what you can do. If the lawyer did not fulfill her part of the agreement, sue her.
there not going to arrest you. fired that lawyer you got cause she suck and i wouldn't pay her if i was you, pay the ticket, and show up for court. if you would of pay it the first time you wouldn't be in this crap.
Sounds like you may have a malpractice case here. For a speeding ticket, I was not aware that you could "send papers" to the court to have it taken care of. She would have had to appear in court. File a complaint with your local attorney disciplinary commission (any local bar association can give you their phone number). You also have a civil suit against the attorney for damages, if any. As for your suspended license, contact the local DMV and find out how to pay off the ticket and have your license restored. Do not drive on a suspended license...look what happened to Paris Hilton!
I will ask the obvious, just for fun: why did you hire an attorney? If you were speeding, why would you not simply pay the fine and be done with it?
If you didn't speed and still got a ticket, why were you not in court yourself? Why was the lawyer involved at all? Why didn't you contact the court when you got the failure to appear notice?
Sounds like you had a typical lawyer. They charge you for doing nothing and you are expected to pay them as well as your fine.
As you may be able to tell, I have little to no love for lawyers. they are legal criminals just like politicians.
Why in the grace of God would you hire a lawyer for a speeding tix? If you pled not guilty when you sent it in and asked for a hearing, not a trial mind you, 9 times out of 10, the officer doesn't even show, so you get a walk. Contact the District Justice's office where you got the tix and ask if the papers were filed by your lawyer, what papers would she have to file, it's a tix? Tell them you hired someone and are asking for a hearing, maybe they will take pity on you and give you one. You will also have to contact DMV re: license if the district justice overturns the decision. NEVER, EVER, hire an atty. for this matter, it is a waste of money and as you know is more of a hassle.
In the future, get Prepaid Legal. They can make a speeding ticket not show up on your record. In KS it costs about $17 a month and they will write you one legal letter per case (for about $10) on your behalf. And if you need a lawyer, they refer you to one at a discount from their normal fee.Find out who this lawyer answers to (her law firm if she has one) and make her accountable for her lack of performance. She may be a friend of your grandmothers, but if she were that good of a friend she would've done a better job for you. There is probably a bench warrant out for your failure to appear. Call the courthouse and see what your options are. As someone said in another question today, you may get to make payments on what you owe.
Answers:
1. You are the victim of legal malpractice.
2. Do you have anything in writing that shows you hired this lawyer?
3. You need to paper the file. Write to the attorney with copies of the failure to appear and suspension notices. Tell her that you expect her to get the case restored to the calendar, the suspension un-done, and that she will defend the ticket vigorously.

Sounds like you may have a malpractice case here. For a speeding ticket, I was not aware that you could "send papers" to the court to have it taken care of. She would have had to appear in court. File a complaint with your local attorney disciplinary commission (any local bar association can give you their phone number). You also have a civil suit against the attorney for damages, if any. As for your suspended license, contact the local DMV and find out how to pay off the ticket and have your license restored. Do not drive on a suspended license...look what happened to Paris Hilton!
I will ask the obvious, just for fun: why did you hire an attorney? If you were speeding, why would you not simply pay the fine and be done with it?
If you didn't speed and still got a ticket, why were you not in court yourself? Why was the lawyer involved at all? Why didn't you contact the court when you got the failure to appear notice?
Sounds like you had a typical lawyer. They charge you for doing nothing and you are expected to pay them as well as your fine.
As you may be able to tell, I have little to no love for lawyers. they are legal criminals just like politicians.
Why in the grace of God would you hire a lawyer for a speeding tix? If you pled not guilty when you sent it in and asked for a hearing, not a trial mind you, 9 times out of 10, the officer doesn't even show, so you get a walk. Contact the District Justice's office where you got the tix and ask if the papers were filed by your lawyer, what papers would she have to file, it's a tix? Tell them you hired someone and are asking for a hearing, maybe they will take pity on you and give you one. You will also have to contact DMV re: license if the district justice overturns the decision. NEVER, EVER, hire an atty. for this matter, it is a waste of money and as you know is more of a hassle.
In the future, get Prepaid Legal. They can make a speeding ticket not show up on your record. In KS it costs about $17 a month and they will write you one legal letter per case (for about $10) on your behalf. And if you need a lawyer, they refer you to one at a discount from their normal fee.Find out who this lawyer answers to (her law firm if she has one) and make her accountable for her lack of performance. She may be a friend of your grandmothers, but if she were that good of a friend she would've done a better job for you. There is probably a bench warrant out for your failure to appear. Call the courthouse and see what your options are. As someone said in another question today, you may get to make payments on what you owe.
I received a NYC parking ticket last month. I have since sold the car. Do I still need to pay this $125 tkt?
Answers:
Unless you can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the car was self-willed and parked itself with no assistance from you, yes. YOU received the citation; the car was not cited.
Of course, you could choose not to pay it and wait it out until you get another citation and then enjoy a much heftier fine as well as a few days rest courtesy of the NYC jail.
Yes, because you were the registered owner.
YES, The ticket belongs to you not the car.
if you kill someone with a gun and then sell the gun are you still a murderer?
If the car was registerred to u at the time of the citation ur name is what was listed on the vehical, your answer is yes.
Yes. They ticket the person, not the car.
YES.if you were the driver.like every thing else you use or buy you pay... just how long did you park? $125.wow.
I received a misdemeanor ticket for trespassing?
The cop came to my door because someone accused me of being on their lawn and looking in their window. I was not caught on the lawn and volunteered to go with the police to the man who accused me. I have a lawyer already, do you think this ticket was justified? What do you think will happen?
Answers:
because you say you were not caught on the lawn....yeah ya little peeping tom, they otta sew your eyes shut....
I think you will be able to fight it. If there is no proof that you were ever on the lawn without permission then the ticket is unfounded.
There is no proof. A lawyer may cost more than the ticket though. With some common sense you can fight this on your own.
I don't think it is justified because they have no evidence. Unless they have evidence or some other kind of proof, they can't give you a ticket.

thisis definitely a scam why would anyone believe that
Rule #1: Nobody gives you anything for free
read the fine print and find out what they want in return or take my advice and throw it away.
its a scam. forward to the FTC.
Never heard of it. Take it to your bank and show it to the branch manager. Maybe they would know if it was a scam. Good luck!
Yeah, it's a scam. If you don't remember entering, it's probably not real. If you cash the check and get the money, the bank will come back in 2-3 weeks and tell you the check is fraudulent and make you return the funds. Either rip it up or turn it over to the FBI.
Here is the contact info off of their website: you can always call them to verify the check.

The FBI has a special unit that handles these scams. You can also go into your back and ask them to verify the check before you actually do anything with it.
Did you sign up foir such a drawing? If not, it's probably a scam. Also, read all of the fine print with the check. Usually, when you cash the check, it serves as a contract to withdrawl tons of cash from your account.
Sounds like it might be one. Call the company that issued the "check" and ask for an explanation.
We have had a lot of them here. You are supposed to take the check, cash it, and Western Union the money back and then you are supposed to receive the full sum of your award. The only person that makes money is the person you Western Union the money back to. It is a major scam. There is another that you are supposed to deposit in your account and then transfer the funds to them, that just gives them access to your account information. It sounds good, but it is a scam. Protect yourself and don't believe it. If you didn't sign up for a sweepstakes with them, then how can you win. Good Luck.
I had received 100 of them, all proved to be false, they try to get you address, phone # e-mail, bank account number. if you give such information they may use it in wrong way that can hurt you in the future, so take care.

I really need you to help me now?
tell me what you think about this,
i'm on SSI and i was told that b/c i live with my husband to be i can't get anymore pay and the only thing i can get is what i'm making right now till the first of the year, cost of living.
i have had problems with my diabetes and a loss of my little toe last year and more bone removed this month.
i only make 415 dollars and pay for rent and food some and a little bit of the bills to help my man to keep us a flot.
SSi told me that if he makes more then me and we both live in the same house i can't get more money to help me live.
yes it covers my meds and hospitel bills but i still pay a cover charge.
what can i do to get more money to help me live?
i'm not married to my man right now and i don't understand this Louisiana law that does this to me and others like me in more need of this help.
i have tryed all that i can do and even ask that free ask a lawyer and to no avail.
help me i need help and soon
this problem makes me sad, i can't work.
Answers:
I'm sorry about your situation.
Here's the bottom line you need to understand to come to grips with your situation.
"i don't understand this Louisiana law that does this to me and others like me"
Louisiana didn't DO anything TO you.
SSI is something they might do FOR you.
If they don't do something FOR you, that isn't doing something TO you.
The first thing that needs to be done to resolve your situation is that YOU need to understand that it is YOUR situation, not Louisiana's.
I'm pretty sure that sounds harsh, but if you think it isn't the truth, you've been lied to for a long time. The sooner you realize that nobody owes you anything, the sooner you'll stop waiting for "Louisiana" to solve problems that they really don't care about.
thats just the way it is, other people abuse it all the time, in your case, I suggest him doing some side work if you can't!
You will probably keep your medical. Why should us taxpayers pay for your rent? will you pay mine? I only get $950 SS a month and expenses are 1200. None of us are that great off.
Well you could always get a job, but evidently that is not going to happen.
You live with someone who is capable of working - so why should the taxpayers cough up more to support you? I have known people on dialysis, chemo, with very brittle diabetes, and a myriad of people with health problems who still went to work. You want to live off the taxpayers then expect to live poor - that is just the way the cookie crumbles.
This has nothing to do with Louisiana. Social Security is a federal program governed by federal rules and regulations. SSI is essentially welfare and is need based . If you have household income that exceeds the regulation limits, you are technically denied. You probably have not worked much in the last 10 years because if you did, you would have been getting Disability benefits(SSDI) instead of SSI. SSDI does not consider household income because people who get SSDI have worked 5 out of the last 10 years and therefore paid into the system. There is nothing you could do to keep that money unless you lived alone. That will not work because the 415 you get would barely pay the rent and your man would still have to pay for his place anyways.
yes that is a problem we need a democrat in office

I read that writing and printing a lie about someone for a harmful purpose is illegal. It's called libel, so..
So, if these people on magazines make up stories about celebrities that are actually and really lies, just to hurt their reputation, shouldn't the people be put in jail?
Answers:
Generally, libel is a civil matter. These mags get away with writing a lot of crap simply because it is too much trouble to sue them. Once in awhile one of the mags will print a lie about someone who will take them to court.
libel is not a criminal cause of action but a civil one. celebs can sue tabloids and often do.
Libel and slander are civil matters, not criminal.

I read one time that by law the day before your actual birthday, is your legal birthday...?
Like for example, if my birthday is on April 4, my legal birthday would be April 3?
Answers:
I went to high school with a guy that was arrested for being in a bar at 11:45 on the night before his 21st birthday. I don't think that argument would have worked for him.
There was also a guy in LA who argued that, if life begins at conception (as stated in a LA "proclamation" at that time) that he was 21 when he was 20 years and 3 months old. That didn't work either.
No inncorrect. I have no idea where you heard a crazy thing like that. Your legal birthday is whatever your birth certificate says. If yours says you were born april 4th then that is your LEGAL birthday
you should elaborate.I would love to know why.
why would you celebrate the day before your birthday?? you were born on april 4th you celebrate it on that day
Don't read any more. It's making you dumber instead of smarter.
Try telling that to the local night club when you are 20.

I purchased a 9mm handgun abt 10 years ago. Am I allowed to carry it in my vehicle? I live in Orlando Florida.
Where can I find out about handgun laws in Florida. How doI go abt getting a permit to carry a concealed weapon in Florida.
Answers:
Florida law requires that a gun in a vehicle be "securely encased."
This has been interpreted to mean that as long as the gun is inside a case or compartment, you're legal.
This can be a gun case, or even the glove box of your vehicle.
It does not have to be locked.
The gun does not have to be unloaded.
There is no "three-step" rule codified into Florida law.
Better yet, get a Florida Concealed Weapons Permit, and you can carry the gun unencased, as long as it is concealed.
get a conceal/carry permit...or else no!
You have to have a permit to carry it concealed in your car.
visit you friendly local sheriffs department.
Is someone out to get you?
Here are the FSAs that relate to carrying a concealed weapon in the state of Florida.
By the way, hi neighbor! I was in your area a few weeks ago; I live north of you.
The second link will tell you how to apply for a permit.
I would log onto the NRA website, they cover the laws from every state. Be careful about leaving items in your auto, there are some models that are very much in demand by thieves. If you haven't yet you may want to think about some quality training, sometimes the best thing to invest in is yourself, you'll be glad you did

I plan to take over the world using mainly spoons?
can anyone comment as to why this is or is not a good plan?
Answers:
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. An army of spoons is no match for a handful of well placed sporks.
because you will have many opponents out there telling you to go fork yourself...
ummm...exactly how are you going to do that?
is not a good plan, because i have an anti spoon plan...
you're crazy man. it can't be done without at least two forks and a napkin. i studied this intensively at that jfk political college at harvard.
I think the great failure of any man is limits. Why mainly spoons? The scooping motion can only get you so far. What about a whisk? Far more alluring, whisking can be intimidating to others. I say forget about the spoons and go for the whisk.
I would recommend sporks. They are more versatile.
if for some reason your plan fails you can always use all those spoons to tunnel out of jail.

Contact a supervisor and, in a mature tone, explain your issue. Also explain, in the same tone, that you're not afraid to pursue legal action. If it comes down to it, THREATEN legal action, but not until after the "mature" stage.
Their company has committed fraud, and an easy case of fraud at that.

I payd cash for child supp for years, now she went to court for back chiled supp,how can i prove this in court
i went in court and the judge said show me prove thats you paid her monthly support, i did not have any!! so now i am in the hole for 29,000 $ i also found out my passport is on hold! thats realy suck!
Answers:
How did you withdraw the money to pay her? If you withdrew it from an ATM and it was the same amount each time, there is record of that. If you can prove that you didn't have any other bills in this amount, etc, this may work.
I would suggest getting yourself a GOOD lawyer, and sitting down and talking this out with them. If you have a friend or relative who practices law talk with them. The lawyer may be able to prove you right or get you a good settlement that would not be so much cash.
I'm really sorry that this woman is hurting you like this, but don't let your rage blind you. I'm sure it will be a challenge, but you can get this worked out!
The lawyer may also be able to bring in some witnesses like your kids or other people who may have known of the arrangement. They could also check her bank records as to when she may have deposited large amounts of cash.
Lesson learned - always get a receipt and trust no one.
You paid cash? Man, you gotta pay by check or credit card! There are some mistakes that you can't recover from, and this may be one of them.
got screwes one last time by her...was it as good for you as it was for her

I paid 80 small claims to get back 1300.00 if I don't get that back, will they have to pay court costs?
I want to know if I will maybe get court costs and lawyer fees if the persons' only income (which it is) Social security. Also this person lives on Gov't housing, and has nothing and owns nothing. Do you see me getting a chance to get my 1300. + court costs back? should I make this person feel bad or intimidated if they can't pay me back? What should I do?
Answers:
If you harass someone, you may find yourself in legal trouble. If you win your case, social security benefits are not garnishable. You will likely spend more and more trying to get your money back and still will not recover from the debtor, especially if the person has not assets. Some times "the principle of the thing" is more expensive than the original loss.
What!!
if you take someone to court...and, you lose, you have all costs to you...
as, far as, someone who has nothing, and, has nothing to lose, and you ask a question if you should make them feel bad or intimated...I think you should just cut your loss and learn from your mistake.
may I say? we, everyone, and anyone I have ever known, has been, ripped off, fooled, mis-led, etc. etc...and, it is part of being human...
just dont get fooled again...let it go, and forgive, and God will replace what you lost...
good luck

I own two joined flats with one main door, in a CHS.Is society right in demanding service charges for 2 flats?
The applicable laws, GoMah GR, and judgments by Bombay HC confirm that the service charges must be levied "per member" and not "per flat" or "per area". Despite this, the society has passed a resolution by simple majority to charge all components of the maintenance "by area".
Answers:
I agree with you that maintenance is to be charged "per Member", not per flat. Only Major Repairs and property taxes are charged by "area". However, you as a Member of the Society would also agree that the maintenance charge is for common expenditure incurred on lighting, security, lifts, sweeper etc. which are to be shared by all and it is only just that this should be per flat. I am also owning 2 flats in a CHS but pay common Maintenance charges per flat. I am sure you have 10 shares in the Society instead of 5. Resolutions which are bad in law are not binding and invalid at the outset. If you wanted to, you could send a notice to your Society demanding that they revoke the said Resolution, if there is no response or negative response, you could thereafter file a complaint with the Dy. Registrar, CHS, of your ward, asking him to direct the Society to abide by the Act, Rules and regd. Bye Laws i.e. to levy the Maintenance charges per Member and you would probably win. But is it fair? On the other hand it is also one Member one vote and you are certainly not entitled to more than one vote even though you own 10 shares as opposed to 5, so by that logic, it is fair to demand that the Maintenance charges be levied in accordance with law i.e. per Member. By the way, usually the Dy. Registrar does not bother to respond to simple complaints so what you should do precisely 15 days after you lodge your complaint is to file a RTI application at his office. Then see how things move !
If you have purchased the 2 flats from the builder/society where in it is mentioned that they were 2 different flats, then you have to pay maintainance etc for both of them individually.
Making 2 flats one by keeping one single door doesnt mean that they legally become one flat. What is on paper is the final one. So check your flat agreement papers etc %26 then react.
You are owner of 1 home and 2 houses.
There is an Allahabad High Court judgement in your favour, but that is in Incometax context! For "per area" services, anyway, your floor area counts! For "per member" services, you can be charged only for one home!

I never received my eBay item shipped via USPS-they said it was delivered...?
Hi guys,last week I purchase some cologne on eBay(35$ + 9.99$S%26H).When I checked the tracking # On USPS site I was suprised-it said it was delivered.I called them , trying to find out what was happening-they said signature confirmation was not required,the carrier might put the package in front of the appartment??Then the`supervisor`advised me to contact seller,and ask him to make a claim that it was lost and get another item( the package was insured).
When I contacted seller he wrote:
"I had a case like this in the past and because the tracking # shows that you got it. There is nothing that can be done. Insurance claim will not help because if you state that you never got it and USPS checks the tracking # claim will be denied. Someone on your end had picked it up. Or postal employee scanned the item and then took it.
Paypal: Signature confirmation is only required on items over $250.
Sorry
Mike"
CAN ANYBODY ADVISE ME WHAT SHOULD I DO cuz I `am buying often on eBay?
Answers:
File a claim with the USPS anyway. An insured package is an insured package regardless of what the tracking states. It may be denied but you'll not know that for sure unless you put in the paperwork. You may be surprised. Talk to your local postmaster.
The other alternatives include signature confirmation or shipping through UPS. As a seller and buyer on eBay I prefer using USPS but UPS won't leave a package at your door without your waiving making a claim for nonreceipt.
File an item not rec'd claim.
You never recieved the item. Period.
It was apparently stolen after it was delivered.
Force the seller to file an insurance claim.
It could be that your package was mis-delivered, in which case there is a chance of recipient giving back to post office, then it would come to you better late than never. Other than that you can't sue the P.O. so I wish you luck, hope my scenario works out.
I would go to the ebay community and ask this question there. I've read many times that it is the seller's responsibility to get the item as described to the buyer, no if's and's or buts. The tracking # shows 'someone' got it, but won't show who. Having a paypal account protects you in some ways, but you'd have to read their account rules to see if you qualify. But the community will tell you what you should do next. I don't know enough about that to help you. Good luck.
