What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California I've heard that a California state agency can't be sued for unlawful termination. To be more specific, I'm referring to the University of California system. If such a law exists, can someone tell me where I might find it? Thanks...

What is the name of your state? California A friend of mine received a 25,000 check from a personal injury settlement. He doesn't like dealing with banks so he signed the check over to me. I have since put it into my bank account and there it sits. My question is: Do I have to claim this...

I have a minor work related injury that requires me to attend physical therapy 6 times in the next 2 weeks. My employer tells me that I have to use my own sick time to attend the physical therapy. Is this true? I thought they would have to send me to PT during my regular work hours since it's...

What is the name of your state? California I hope I'm posting this at the right board. If not please let me know. I'm one of two registered owners of a vehicle that is currently at an auto mechanic for engine work. The bill will total 1,500 when it's fixed. The other owner might not pay the...

What is the name of your state? California I went to a dealer to buy a NEW Hyundai Accent that was in the Saturday paper. It was $8400 minus a 500 Loyality Rebate (I qualify for the rebate since I'm a current Hyundai owner). While signing the finance agreement I was told that the car would...

Go through BK with an attorney. There's too much room for error when you try and file w/out an attorney.

What is the name of your state? CA I'm getting hangup calls from Bass & Associates. Gotta love caller I.D. I filed BK and was discharged 3/2004. I did a search here and noticed they are a collector for Best Buy. I was wondering if anyone else w/a BK is getting calls from these people and...

I'm not sure what the statue of limitations are for filing a suit, but I wouldn't sit and wait for that to happen. I would file BK before the laws change. That 150k is a huge debt. I would assume a creditor would eventually come after you to collect. File BK. This board is a great resource...

What is the name of your state? California Are County tax liens dischargeable? This one in particular is about 1,200 dollars.

Hard to say. Having a couple of loans on 'stand by' is a good idea. I did the same thing w/a credit card. My score improved about 25 points after being discharged from all my debts. I was able to get a new car loan at 11.25 percent less than a year after being discharged. I hope your...

It's not the end of the world at all. It was the best financial decision I've made in a long time. I filed last year and got a discharge in 3/2004. I bought a new car last night at 15% interest. Kinda high, but not as bad as I expected. Filing BK kept me from losing sleep over bills and...
