Jan 08, 2008 Know your rights in bankruptcy

QUOTE: ...it is very common for a [debt] collector to say, "Sorry, you did not include this account [when you filed for] bankruptcy, therefore, you must still pay it." If you do not know the laws regarding bankruptcy in your particular state, then you might believe the collector. Even worse, you could make a payment to the collector only to find out that your state law protects you.

Jan 06, 2008 Recourse in a foreclosure scam

QUOTE: ...companies calling themselves "foreclosure consultants" have built a cottage industry around promising distressed homeowners that they will temporarily assume control of the house to prevent foreclosure and that they will sell it back to the owner at a premium when that person's financial problems are resolved. However, the homeowner soon discovers that buying it back will be next to impossible because of onerous provisions buried in the dictionary-sized contracts they've signed -- contracts that often cleverly disguise these companies' predatory intents.

Dec 12, 2007 Alert IRS to suspicious company

QUOTE: Depending on how underhanded an employer is, they could be failing to report the taxes withheld, hoping to catch up before the end of the year...If you think this is the case, then you probably have a reasonable concern that your boss may stick you with a Form 1099 after the end of the year.

Dec 02, 2007 Who owns auctioned house?

QUOTE: ...it does appear that you won the bid on a property that's been foreclosed by a second mortgagee. Since you were the successful bidder, it would make you owner of the property subject to satisfaction of the first mortgage -- seemingly. The hitch is that second auction, where a stake is held in the property by the first mortgagee, may be what's on the auction block. It sounds like either there's a big miscommunication here or something legally questionable is occurring.

Oct 04, 2007 Products hyped as 'green' often are not
