Yes, you are legally obligated to repay the check. I personally make it a practice if I have any doubts about the person or the check to call the issuing bank. They can tell you if it is safe to deposit the check in your account. The police in your town will probably allow you to file bad check... Read more »

You can negotiate with them. Any break they give you MAY result in a 1099-C for taxes. They start reporting usually after the first late 30 days occurs. Debt management companies, in my opinion, are not good as the first several months of payment go to their fees, and nothing is done to protect... Read more »

If your credit accounts are current, of course you can approach the credit card issuers with a request for a lower interest rate, but your chances of success are dim when the Fed is raising rates steeply toward a tentative goal of 5.5% by year's end (that's the prime rate, and most credit...

The corporate record book should be updated and kept current showing shareholders' interest, number of share held, transfer information, purchases, and dates of such activity.

There is a lot that goes into asking and answering this question. The legal aspects are probably secondary to business planning. Before you need an attorney you need to have a clear idea, a business plan, sufficient funding, and the right personal environment to launch a business.

i am trying to get information as a POA from an account set up by a prior POA for my grandmother. They are asking for all of my personal information to access her account stating "Banking laws require" it sounds odd since my information has nothing to do with her account.
answered on Feb 10, 2022
Personally, I agree with you that all of that information about YOU, the attorney in fact, should not be required. Some of it, maybe, but not all of it. HOWEVER, the sad fact is what the bankers are telling you is correct. They have to satisfy government regulatory requirements that mandate that... Read more »

Not necessarily, but more information is needed to answer your question. I suggest that you setup a consultation with a business cybersecurity internet lawyer. That being said this could be a scam. Expect the lawyer to charge you a fee for the advise.

Rather than ask unanswerable questions to lawyers here on Justia you are advised to put the rejected $5,000 cashier's check in a safe place--or turn it in to the issuing bank, get your $5,000 back and put IT in a safe place while you look for a lawyer capable of defending against the... Read more »
I heard that payday loans are illegal in NJ. I took 600 put and paid four payments of $206 . I also heard that since they are illegal I only have to pay the principal. Is this true,? The rest of my cc and such ate in good standing so I don't want to file for bankruptsy. What can they do to me,,?
answered on Jul 8, 2019
Think this all the way through: If the payday loan creditor operates its business anywhere in the state of New Jersey there is a really strong possibility that payday loans are NOT illegal in New Jersey. What can they do if you do not repay? They can sue you.
