    Foreclosure from left field

    Gotta question regarding real estate loans/law. My wife’s aunt (a CA licensed RE agent) lost two Calif. properties to the economy and got 2 years behind in her property taxes on the third home (which she is renting). She got that loan from WAMU which is now CHASE bank. She owed roughly 7K in...

    Personal Bankruptcy When does it all go away?

    Probably not If you were a cardholder but did not sign anything to become one and the 15k in debt were not incurred by you (your signature on the sales slips) you are okay. It would be different if you applied for the card or were a cosigner. Is anyone pursuing you? If so, take all the...

    Personal Bankruptcy 7, 11 or 13/

    My wife has been trying to get a business off the ground for six years. It has lost money each and every year though not so much that I could not offset it w/ my business income. I could cover tens of thousands when spread out over a year however, the economy has seriously impacted her and now...

    No Day Off...EVER!

    Reality He's had to use the laptop all but one time and has had to travel 30 minutes to work 20% of the time (on his day off) to deal with emergencies. It's not hypothetical at all...but I'm sure any such claim that may arise would require proof he actually performed these duties. No time...

    No Day Off...EVER!

    Hmmm Okay, that surprises me. Now, suppose he is always opening the laptop everyday he's off...would that be the same as working everyday? Should he document this somehow so if & when they try to terminate him he has recourse? What's the best way for him to do this? TIA

    Firing Employee as Dad is Dying

    What I know 1.) How long has she worked for this employer? Unsure, not too long, maybe six mos or so. 2.) How many employees does the employer have within 75 miles of her location (if you don't know exactly, over or under 50 will do). Unsure, she works for Fredricks of Hollywood in Irvine...

    Firing Employee as Dad is Dying

    I accidentally posted this in the wrong place originally. My niece is a beautiful and hard working 19 yr. old serving time in retail (as many of us did at one time) in a clothing store at the mall. Her father is dying from cancer and on borrowed time. His stomach is completely gone, replaced...

    Is This Discrimination?

    So a simple sign stating: "We reserve the right to refuse enttrance to anyone" is okay? BTW...the one former employee who went way too wild is married to an atty. That's why we're being so cautious. Some people view litigation as the new retirement plan. (sigh) Thanks guys...I am very...

    Is This Discrimination?

    We had to fire several people after last year's show because they got drunk during show hours, two bashed the show in front of our vendors, one performed a lap dance on an exhibitor (who was newly married and his wife saw) and another went much MUCH further than lapdancing. (Both are married...

    Is This Discrimination?

    We hold a celebrity food show open to the public for a small fee and want to retain the right to deny access or evict people who, in our opinion, are undesirable or obnoxious...including but not limited to former employees. How sketchy is this? Do we have that right or is that discrimination...
