    Should employer replace stolen check?

    The one's liable are both the postal employee and the place that cashed the checks. Kind of depends on the circumstances, but if he didn't show proper ID, then the cashing back was in the wrong. Your employer is not obligated to replace the checks, as they had nothing to do with this. Think...

    Total commissions earned being paid as minimum wage + expense reimbursement

    I'm not sure the full benefit for them, but from your end, they are right that it means you will pay less income tax on the whole. You could report it, but what good would it really do? You don't have anything stating that you were really supposed to be commission, so no way to really prove...

    Changing schedule to eliminate overtime

    This is with an airline, we are not union, and none of us want this. If we have to stay late today, we want our overtime. Also, this means that if I am forced to come in late today to get rid of the extra hours, then the rest of the staff are down a person. They can board the passengers OK...

    Changing schedule to eliminate overtime

    My employer has come up with a creative way to keep from having to pay overtime. What happens is, if I have to stay late today for say 2 hours, then one day later in the week they will have me either come in 2 hours late or leave 2 hours early. Either way, we end up with only 40 hours in the...

    Alcohol & Drugs: DUI, DWI Illegal police stop?

    OK, I tried posting and it didn't seem to take, so here goes again. First of all - DO NOT plead guilty to anything until you talk to a lawyer. You are entitled to one, so exercise that right. One important question - what were you charged with? As for the rest of your post - First of all...

    Medical bill sent to Collections without notice

    If you do in fact owe the money, then yes, you need to pay it. As far as the home loan goes, I wouldn't worry about that too much, especially if this is your only negative. When you sit down with the loan officer, they will go over your credit with you. Just explain the situation that you were...

    Writ on my bank acct.

    If you have a judgement against you, then they can pull the money from any account you have, as long as they can find it. The only way to shield the money would be to A) have a family member or VERY WELL TRUSTED friend open an account in their name. Then cash you check and deposit it there...

    credit pulled w/o permission

    I would contact that credit union, and ask for the manager. Then explain that you credit report has been pulled twice from there, without your authorization. Don't go into any more detail then that. Don't tell them all the soap opera stuff. Just tell them you want to know who pulled it and...

    Who defaulted?

    Not sure, but I would call the credit card company and dispute the charge. If that was not what you agreed to pay, then the cannot legally charge you that. I would also file a complaint with your state attorney general's office. They probably won't do much for you directly, but they may still...

    Consumer Law, Warranties I'm a subcontractor, contractor and home owner have a dispute

    Wouldn't he be able to contact the police in this case? I would think that since they are holding his items, that would constitute theft of the items.

    juvenile wont give back hubbys dog

    OK, your first two sentences are a bit garbled there. But if I understand this, you are saying that you obtained this dog (not knowing how much, if any, your husband paid for it) and then gave it to the minor on the condition that she would bring it back if her mother DIDN'T let her keep it...

    Arrest, Search, Seizure, Warrant What happened? Please help!

    Sounds like the cop was on a power trip, however, when an officer tells you step away, you need to comply. Look at the basic part of this from his angle (obviously not including the power trip) he is one person, in the middle of arresting someone who is legally intoxicated, and he has a second...

    Changing schedule to eliminate overtime

    My employer has started an underhanded game. Let's say I work 2 hours over today. Normally at the end of the week, after I have worked my normal schedule, this would give me 42 hours in the week, meaning 2 hours overtime. But what they are doing is having us come in late (or leave early) one...

    Shill Bidding on eBay: A Case Study

    The information is much more in the open now. It's after a sale is over, but it's there. When the sale is over, go to the bid history. It will show each bidder on that item, as well as how many items that person has bid on for that seller. If you see tons of bids to that seller's items, it...

    Consumer Fraud Facebook Scam

    I found this one in the news not too long ago, and since found out that it happened to a couple people I know. I was a bit surprised to not see it listed here. What happens is, the scammer will first hack your Facebook account. They log in as you, change the password, etc, which blocks you...

    Consumer Fraud MySpace scam help needed

    Not so fast. The original poster needs to contact the police. I have a family member in Indiana who is a police detective, and part of his area is fraud. He had a case just like this (the old Nigerian money order scam) and the bank ended up having to take the fall on this one, not the...

    Consumer Fraud Is This Mail Fraud

    Well, first of all, it could only be mail fraud if he sent it via US Postal Service. If he sent it via FedEX, UPS, etc then no. Also if he knows that the payment was never sent, then he can't get in trouble for not sending the product. And that's the point of excrow - even if the payment were...

    Consumer Fraud Can I take a private seller to small claims court

    The first question is if there was anything in the bill of sale that said sold as is. If that is the case, then you are out of luck as they are telling you there is no warranty. Also, the car was working when they sold it to you. There is nothing they can do about it once you take...

    Consumer Fraud Motel 6 scam

    Sounds like there is now way to even proove that it was your call, but the other question is, it sounds like this was a call directly to the hotel, not a reservations line, which strikes me as odd they would record the call at all. But even if they did, did they they inform you that they were...
