What if we can't be there for the closing on a property we're purchasing?

We had a vacation planned a year ago. We'll be out of the country on the date of our closing. We tried to get a 1 week extension but seller won't budge. What papers can we sign before we leave and can I designate my father as Power of Attorney to finish the transaction until we return?|||You would give your attorney " Power of Attorney" You can also have a close family member such as a mother or father to do this for you to. Just make sure you outline everything and have them fax these to you to review if at all possible because this can also be done. Being out of town is a pain in the butt for some attorneys if your not there, but just think if you were out of state how they would handle it. You can be accommodated for this. I have done this for a couple of my real estate transactions.|||Yes...you can give him limited power of attorney solely for the transaction.|||This is actually a really big deal, and you will have to contact an attorney about this to make sure you get the right information.|||You'll miss a very important party! Oh well, it's understandable. Just provide your father with a limited power of attorney and it should be just fine.|||I would call your lender asap. Getting a power of attorney or someone to sign doesn't mean squat if the LENDER WILL NOT AGREE TO IT. Sorry to be blunt, but it is this simple. Not all lenders will agree to a purchase being signed with power of attorney, especially in these days of tightening underwriting. Call the lender first thing monday morning and see if they will approve it, if not, I hate to say it but it is decision time for you, good luck|||This is not likely to fly. Turn your POA over to an attorney, they tend to make everyone more relaxed.

What is federal withholding?

In my saving account there is a transaction called "Federal Withholding" occurring every month. It occurs on the same date with the transaction called "Interest Earned", which is shown every month too. So what is Federal Withholding? Is it tax? Can I get back those money or is it mandatory?|||That is federal income tax withholding, the same thing that happens with your paycheck. Most bank account holders are not subject to withholding. Talk to your bank's customer service, because something is not set-up correctly with your account.|||This is federal income tax withheld from your interest income, just like federal income tax is withheld from your paycheck. When you file your federal income tax return, this withholding is reported, again just like the withholding from your paycheck. If you have more in total withholdings than you owe in taxes, you will get a refund.





In most circumstances you can have this federal withholding stopped by giving the bank your social security number. Give your bank a call and ask what you need to do to have the federal withholding stopped.

Which NBA team do you think is least likely to win a championship this decade, and why?

A lot of you people probably think the Cavaliers right now. I completely disagree with that, since they traded LeBron for four future draft picks, which many people do not know.





http://espn.go.com/nba/transactions/_/da鈥?/a>|||Timberwolves or Raptors.





You could also arguably add Boston in there, because the chances of them winning are now slim, and after their Big 3 retires they'll have to completely rebuild again.|||The Heat soon as the lakers smash on the heat this year at the finals then the Heat there going to slack it and not make it to the finals and then after 2 or 3 years of still not getting a ring lebron James is going to leave and then chris bosh is going to get mad and go to another team too. (Lakers future back2back2bck Champions again)|||Warriors





They continue to rebuild then at some point they will tear it up and start over again...and again...and again. 10 years from now they will still be rebuilding. The Clippers also have the same reputation but their present roster is the best in years.





Edit: I would have added New Jersey but with the new owner's deep pockets and experience in constructing a winning team, they will do well at some point.|||Raptors and the Cavs


because they lost there star players and they have to start from the beginning and rebuild there teams.|||Warriors, Raptors, Cavileers, t-wolves, bobcats, Jazz, Knicks, Suns, etc.





Because they are not good enough.|||I agree the Cavs don't have the worst odds i believe the Timberwolves do|||it has to be either charlotte or new jersey. for the past decade they failed to strengthen their line up and they didnt do any better this time.|||Indiana Pacers|||Heat





they haven't prove anything yet.|||Mavs. They never win anything. =(|||Bobcats, It just isn't gonna happen.. they spent all that money...for 8th place in the Eastern conference..and they probably won't make the playoffs for the next 4 years or so....|||The Raptors, without Bosh they don't have a go to guy.|||Pacers

Can I renew/upgrade my credit card while waiting for a refund on the old card?

I returned something to Walmart yesterday on an old Chase credit card (and it hasnt processed into my account yet), but I have this new Chase Saaphire card I got in the mail that I need to activate. Its the exact same credit card #, just a newer exp date. If I activate this card before I get the refund, will that mess up the open transaction?|||It sounds like your old card will expire soon, probably at the end of this month. Since the card #s are the same, you can activate your new card and start using it. Be sure to destroy your old card. The credit from Walmart will be applied to your account.





Hope this helps. Good luck.

Buying a house and the seller will not sign FHA addendum! What can be done?

I have a VERY difficult real estate transaction I am working on.This is a foreclosed home I might add. Contracts say that I can choose any financing I want. I chose FHA financing. The seller/bank decided they will not accept FHA loans. They are refusing to sign my FHA addendum now!! Can they do that? What if they hold things up and we can鈥檛 get everything done by the closing date? Can they just back out?|||They can refuse. "Any" refers to conventional loans, FHA is not conventional and should have been mentioned on your initial offer.





You cna not force them to sign this, you are going to have to go with a normal loan or walk.





BTW, they are not backing out. Unless you have a contract stating they will accept FHA you are teh one altering the deal, not them.|||Are you STILL contending with this contract?





I thought you had an attorney. Can't he advise you???





You already have a purchase contract. The FHA Addendum is a contract modification, or in layman's language, a different contract with different terms.





My guess is that sellers don't want that term that allows YOU to back out if the property does not appraise for a certain value. (I believe its paragraph 4 in the addendum.)





**The seller is not backing out.** The seller is simply refusing to change the contract which you already have with seller. It's like you having a contract to buy a car from dealership that has a one year warranty. Then, on date of delivery, you walk in with an "addendum" that states the car shall have a five year warranty. Do you believe the dealership is "backing out" if they refuse to sign your addendum?





You still have the opportunity to perform your end of the existing contract, which is to pay the purchase price by closing date.|||Most likely the reason that the bank won't sell the property to you using a FHA loan is because the property will not meet FHA minumum requirement and the bank is not willing to spend the extra money to bring the property up to meet the FHA loan standard.





So, yes they can back out.





Otherwords, you will not be able to purchase that property if you insist purchasing it with a FHA loan. Often banks have to sell a distressed foreclosure property for "cash only" because the property will not meet any lenders miniumum condition requirements.|||If I understand this correctly.


The bank owns the property.


The bank has the property listed for sale.


You made an offer, the bank accepted.


The bank is now refusing to follow through with the sale because they do not like the source of your money.





Unless FHA somehow reduces the amount of money the bank will receive, they can not back out.





You should see an attorney right away and sue for compliance of the written agreement.|||Just because you want FHA financing doesn't mean the bank does. Yes, they can refuse.

When mailing in a rebate (blu-ray) how can they verify that a receipt has not been altered?

My brother bought a PS3 from Sears on 2/1/08 and the rebate for the 5 free movies clearly states purchases must be made by 1/31/08. He thinks he can just change the date on the scanned receipt and it will work. I told him there has to be a way to verify the information on the receipt with the retailer but he doesn't listen to me. If he does this, can the rebate company look up the transaction details through Sears?|||They probably can, but probably wouldn't take the trouble to do so for every rebate request they get. But there are two problems with his attempted larceny :-D -- first, is he an expert Photoshopper, or is his attempt going to be glaringly obvious? Second, most rebate offers I've seen ask for the original receipt.





I would go back to Sears and see if they would extend the rebate offer for him, if he didn't know the end date of the rebate, if a salesman told him he could get it, if the rebate offer was still being advertised in the store on Feb. 1, etc., etc.|||you have to send in the ORGINAL receipt, they do not accept copies as the rebate form should say


the rebate form should cleary state send ORIGINAL RECEIPT and UPS faximiles or copies will NOT be accept


if he tried to alter the date he is commiting fraud

Notary public for notarizing affidavit of unzuthorized use of credit card?

There was a fraudulent transaction on my credit card a few days ago. I called the bank and closed my account and today I received an "affidavit" for me to fill in to report the unauthorized use. At the end of the form, there is a place for a "notary public" to sign and date. Anybody happens to know more about this? Could a family doctor or a dentist serve as a notary? Thank you.|||No, you need someone who is a notary public to do it and they have a stamp they use too. Just look in the phone book yellow pages. It'll probably cost you around $10.|||NO!!! a notary has to be certified. The bank should be able to do this.|||A bank usually always has a notary on staff because they deal with a lot of legal paperwork. Also, a car insurance office. I don't really know about doctors or dentists but I wouldn't believe so since they aren't drafting legal contracts.|||Actually, if you reported it to your local law enforcement officials, THEY would be able to "notarize" it for you because we can notarize documents while on official Police Business. But to answer your question, anybody who is a notary public can sign off on it when you sign the document in their presence. To make things easier, either report it to your local law enforcment agency as noted above, or USUALLY your bank will do it for free if you have accounts in good standing. Hope this helps!|||A doctor or dentist cannot do it.


Go to a notary public. Thsese are available at banks, or currency exchanges. They normally charge a dollar for verifying your signature. Maybe two dollars. But they are licensed by the state to do exactly that.


Look in a phone book if you don't know where to find one.|||Your neighborhood bank can help you also, normally there are notaries there.Try a postal service place like Mails Plus, Postal Annex etc... Anywhere you see a notary sign can help also. Costs about$10. Have your driver's license or ID ready and they may take your thumb print. Lawyers can help too- their notary has no expiration..|||No. Only a person who is a notary public...every bank has one.


Just stop in %26amp; ask for a notary public and they will point you in the right direction.|||I am a notary public. We are commissioned by the Secretary of State. You can usually find a notary public at a Postal Annex, UPS store, etc., or look in the phone book. It should cost you US $10 or so, unless they have to drive to you.|||A notary can be found at your bank or at an attorney's office. A doctor nor dentist is a notary. A notary only can notarize a legal document because there is a seal that must be on the document notarized.





Take your affidavit to your bank or most any bank and have it notarized. May cost you a couple dollars but get it back to your bank as soon as possible.

Is it possible for me to withdraw money from my sisters bank of America account without her debit card?

My sister said wanted to buy something from here and she lives far so she said I could withdraw money from her account, she gave me all her information including the account number, card number, expiration date, and security code (just in case)





Do I need more? Is this transaction even possible? Im 17 do I need to be older?





Thank You :)|||Sorry...you need the card.|||You can't withdraw actual money from her account without the physical card.





You can make a purchase on line with the information she gave you -- but she could do that by herself, no matter where she lives.





What she can do, if she wants you to do her shopping for her, is to withdraw the money from her BOA account, go to a Walmart with the cash, and send the cash to you in the form of a Money Gram. You would pick up the cash at your local Walmart.|||Unless it's an online purchase, I'm guessing you'll need the card. It's probably possible to do the transaction without the physical card, but most businesses for security reasons won't do it. When I worked in retail, if a card wouldn't swipe thru the machine, you were able to over ride it and type in the info, so I think it's possible, but I doubt whether they'd do it for you, unless you know the clerk or store owner well.|||She can send you a check or money order.


Unless your name is on the account,you cannot legally draw money from her account.

FASFA..How do I check how much financial aid I will receive?

Okay I applied for financial aid a week ago, and I just logged in on the web. And after I signed in I was guided to the "student access-- Tansactions" page. And there's a processed date and transaction source, and transaction number.... But where I go to find out how much I will receive?|||The school(s) you applied to has that information. They will either send you a letter through the mail. Or they will contact you by e-mail with a website and login information to access your financial aid information. If you're not sure, you can always contact the financial aid office.|||For scholarship or financial aid questions, I just tell my friends to check out http://www.FinancialAidQuick.com and take a look around.Its good starting point with a few good sources of info.|||they shoukd have given you a efc # that tells you

Can I use form 34 to add an additional person on a purchase and sales?

My buyers did not qualify for a loan to purchase the house we gave an offer for. 5 days shy to the closing date, the bank declines the loan. Can we add a third person onto the ps using an addendum. If that works we will add the same person on their mortgage..... Please help. This is my first transaction. Any suggestion would help.





Cheers|||You're supervising broker should be helping you with this.





Yes, you can add a person to the purchase agreement with an addendum if the seller agrees. However, the purchase agreement is detailed for how the deed is made out. Do your buyers intend to share ownership with this 3rd person? If not, you can have people on the mortgage that are not on the deed.





If they will be sharing ownership, the addendum would read something like:





Per the contingencies required for financing, the buyers shall be X a single person and Y a married couple. All other terms and conditions shall remain the same.





Then get the sellers to sign off and your new purchaser to sign as well as sign and disclosures.

How do you build a test case for the following requirement:?

All records shall store the System date and time “DDMMYYYY:HHMM” at the time of writing to the ledger table “LEDGER_TABLE” if the transaction date is less than the System date and the transaction record meets the format “TXN_DDMMYYYY”|||A test case to check the above requirement could be as follows:





1. Check the format of the transaction record. If it is “TXN_DDMMYYYY”, then perform step 2, else stop.





2. Check if the Transaction Date is less than the System Date. If so, perform step 3, else stop.





3. Check if the record has been written to the LEDGER_TABLE.


EXPECTED RESULT: The record should store the System Date and time in the format “DDMMYYYY:HHMM”.





The Steps and Expected Results would be in separate columns in the test case table.


|||1. Write transactions matching that format, then read the system date and transaction record back and make sure they're correct.





2. Set the transaction date after the system date, and make sure the write fails.





3. Try to store an invalid transaction date, and make sure the write fails.





4. Try a weird system date far in the future, and make sure the write succeeds.





There are other ideas you could try.

Isn't it fraudulent to be charge online payment twice for the same transaction in 2 consecutive dates?

I paid for my passport and for a friend's travel visa with my visa debit card online. The next thing I knew is that I've been charged twice for a single transaction twice.





My passport cost $65 and visa cost $144. I made a saperate payment on the 6th april for $65 and $143 and these payments (65 and 144) was taking from my account on the 8th and on the next day 9th another payment of (65 and 144) was taken.





The worst part of this matter is, this payments has taken my account beyond my authorised overdraft limit and now I'm being charged 拢5 per day.





I went to the bank to explain but was told to contact the people I placed an order with, as it must have been an error and i should ask for ask for a refund and I've got nothing to do with Halifax.





What I believe is that an error won't process your money a day after the original payment, it will process it similar time to the first payment. And I didn't use my card with this people other than the one single time I paid for a passport and a visa





Now what I want to know is, where do I stand if I want to claim with my bank that my card as been fraudulently charged multiple times for a transaction?





Who's going to be responsible for the overdraft charges as I've used this because of the illegal transaction. Should Halifax be responsible?





Please make suggestion. Thanks for reading and I look forward to your help|||Calm down. Fraud? Hardly. Bureaucratic incompetence? Far more likely. Have you talked to them? What YOU believe is irrelevant.

Has anyone ever applied for the Imagine Card? What is your experience?

I guess what I am trying to ask is if they do what their terms say, do they really guarantee you the $350.00 available limit, of course, it would be $200.00 after the fees, and then do they charge much of other fees? I have thought about applying for it but am nervouse to do it because first, I have real bad credit, I do not know how much a foreclosure affected my credit, two, I would like to make sure that they do not charge way too much in transaction fees because I plan to use small amounts per month to pay it off before the next due date. I want to demonstrate to myself that I can be more resposible now. I also am wondering if I should go ahead and apply because I do not know how much of your "bad Credit" they take in consideration? Any advice/suggestions appreciated.|||Just about anyone can get a card like that. I have really crappy credit too, and I was approved for those cards. After you pay the fees, if you stop paying, they aren't losing much. I went with the total visa, and if you don't think that you can pay 350 a month, then total visa starts with 250. I have learned though, if you are trying to BUILD your credit, then you don't want to charge more than 50% of your limit. Good luck. (Make sure you go with a card that reports to all the credit bureaus monthly! That's what builds your credit.)

How do theives use a found credit card number to steal from you?

I work for a credit card processor wher I am selling new credit card machines. Here is my question, some of the older machines these merchants use print out the whole credit card number, expiration date and the customers name. I understand and wouldn't want my info on a receipt, but I am having trouble understanding how someone could take my credit card number and actually spend on it? If they go on the internet to buy something, their IP will get snatched and they would need the 3 digit code on the back of the card to finish a transaction. If they go into a store, they have to convince the cashier to handkey the card number and they have to risk being seen on camera. So how is this such a big problem? What can a theif actually do with the number?|||that depends on how they got the number. if someone gets the number from the physical card then they will go online and simply use a public computer such as the library to make the purchase. if the card is in your hand it will take all of 1 second to read the 3 digit code on the back and remeber it. some people are great with numbers and could memorize your whole care number in seconds. if they run your card through a card reader then they can simply duplicate it on blanks later. this is the prefered method these days since everywhere you go there is a self service terminal for you to swipe the card at so the thief will not even have to show the card to the cashier. as for cameras. most people who drive 45 to 50 minutes from home ot commit a fraud will never be caught even if thier face is on a camera since no one there will recognize the person. it is why so many people are doing this, because it is not as easy as you think to catch a professional thief.|||Someone can use a public computer or someone elses computer to go online. there are actually some sites that do not require the security code to complete a transaction. others know people who work in certain stores and they just run the card for them. plus there are some places that dont even ask for identification. just drive to a friendly town with extra friendly people and wala. it's very sad.

What makes some more sensitive to Betrayal than others?

Like when someone's other half cheats on them....they might break up and not date again for years over the betrayal and loss...or during a business transaction when the other party lies, they loose their mind, call the deal off, and not by whatever they intended from anyone due to the betrayal they feel....as opposed to...the other extreme might just take it in stride, smile and say "Good One"...and then other's are a bit of each...what makes one so sensitive?|||trust!! trust is earned not given. and when it's broken, despite by who or when or how, it hurts and its even harder the next time to trust again!! its not being "so sensitive". its about OTHER people NOT being sensitive enough or care enough and take the other person for granted.

Also what does it mean that an account will "drop off your credit on such and such date"? With a $0 balance that seems like a good thing but what about the ones that still have a balance?|||Regular Inquiry: This is a hard pull and generally means that you applied for some form of credit from the company that pulled it.

But with a personal check/debit they have up to 6 months to cash it.


/|||60 days is what my Federal Credit Union bank told me.

|||With most banks, they treat the debit card transaction like a check. Therefore, there would be a 60-90 day limit on the transaction (depending on your bank's policy- check your checks, it'll say on them).





I'm sure there are banks out there that do it differently, though, so you may want to call them. It has nothing to do with the store and everything to do with your bank.|||For U.S. issued debit card it is up to one year. I read a charge even coming in after one year.

Why would a home seller need to have a credit check done?

We are selling our house to a relative without agents on either side. The bank is now requiring a credit check on us (the sellers) to complete the transaction. Their best explanation is that they need to make sure our mortgage is up to date, but they will not accept our mortgage company telling them that. Why would they require us to have a credit check done? What happens if we refuse?|||They need to know if you are on the brink of bankruptcy for one thing. The second thing is this is not an "arms length sale" since it is within the family. Banks and the IRS are very careful about these kinds of arrangements. If you truly want to sell then you have to comply with the bank's requirement and also be ready to answer any questions by the IRS in the event they suspect this sale is an effort to avoid taxes.





You should have an appraisal on hand and good documentation of all the facts. If you have capital gains on this sale make sure beforehand that you will qualify for the exemption on the sale of your main home. The IRS could disallow the exemption.|||if you refuse the loan probably does not get approved. That is a very odd request from buyer's lender. but lender's are changing rules daily these days so this could be a trend.





Also fact that buyer is related to you probably raises a red flag to their lender that this is not an arms length transaction.|||Probably passing a check for outstanding liens and judgements.





My guess is that if you refuse, the lender will toss out the loan application as failing to meet underwriting guidelines.

45.7 Million Customers' Card Data Stolen


AP


BOSTON (March 29) - More than two months after first disclosing that hackers accessed customers' financial data from its computers, discount retailer TJX Cos. has revealed that information from at least 45.7 million credit and debit cards was stolen over an 18-month period.





In a regulatory filing that gives the first detailed account of the breach initially disclosed in January, the owner of T.J. Maxx, Marshall's and other stores in North America and the United Kingdom also said another 455,000 customers who returned merchandise without receipts had their personal data stolen, including driver's license numbers.





The data that was stolen covers transactions dating as far back as December 2002, TJX said in the filing Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.





TJX spokeswoman Sherry Lang did not immediately return a telephone message from The Associated Press seeking comment late Wednesday.





But Lang told The Boston Globe, which first reported the filing Wednesday night, that about 75 percent of the compromised cards either were expired or had data from their magnetic stripes masked, meaning the data was stored as asterisks, rather than numbers.





Lang said the extent of the damage may never be known because of the methods used by the intruder. Much of the transaction data was deleted by TJX in the normal course of business between the time of the thefts and the time they were discovered, the filing said, making it impossible to know how many card numbers were obtained.





"There's a lot we may never know and it's one of the difficulties of this investigation," Lang said. "It's why this has taken this long and why it's been so tedious. It's painstaking."





Avivah Litan, vice president of research and advisory company Gartner Inc., told the Globe the TJX breach is "the biggest card heist ever."





"This was obviously done over a long period of time, in many locations," she said. "It's done considerable damage."|||Yes!|||No I'm not. Thank you.|||I think its a concern we all have. You have to be careful what you do. Even when you are on line at the store with the card in hand..people can see and remember the number..or when you throw out receipts and statements, you must shred or rip up and scatter the trash in different bags....too much agony.

Company has not done any business, still responsible for paying any tax?

If a corporation started November 2006 and has not done any monetary transactions as of date. What taxation liabilities are they responsible for?

For a C corp there is a fixed dollar minimum tax of $100, and for an S corp the fixed dollar minimum tax is $100.|||There can be flat amounts that are payable annually by a corporation whether or not there has been any business.

How to enter a spinoff in Quicken?

One security in my portfolio spunoff another company in July 2010. By using Quicken's spinoff action, it caused the creation of many new transactions for the initial purchase and the subsequent dividends. Each transaction's share quantity was a fraction of the original as per the spinoff's share ratio.





Shouldn't a spinoff be recorded as a single transaction on the total number of shares on the date of the spinoff?





Quicken's way of doing it seems unecessarily messy and inaccurate because the spinoff company didn't exist on the past dates.|||Generally, a spin-off means that a company is carving off a piece of itself and distributing the stock to it's existing shareholders. The original cost of one company becomes the original cost of 2 companies.





I am guessing from your info you may have had multiple purchases of company A before it spunoff company B.... because your reinvested dividends. With the spin off, a piece of each purchase of company A now gets allocated between A and B.... and that produces all the activity you are seeing.





Without more info, that's the best I can do. But I'm guessing I nailed this one.... cause I've had my coffee.

There is interest payable if you take cash from ATM on a credit card, but is it same for cash back from Tesco?

Lets say I buy items for 拢25 using credit card and take 拢50 as cashback on same card from any store which provide cash back facility, do they consider as a single transaction of 拢75 or two transaction 1. Shopping for 拢25 , 2. Cash withdrawl of 拢50. If they consider a single transaction, its intrest free untill my due date otherwise 拢50 would be considered as cash taken from ATM. I do not know answer yet and thats why its here.|||cashback on credit cards is usually not available at checkouts. i assume that it is because of this very reason which you have highlighted.


otherwise it would be next to impossible for the card issuer to differentiate which rate of interest ( normal or cash advance) they must apply to transactions.|||Wherever you take cash out - from the ATM or as a cashback, the interest is at the higher rate for cash. Interest usually starts on the day of withdrawal for cash transactions.|||The excess will be treated as a cash advance and the cash advance terms and conditions will apply. This should be explained in your cardholder agreement, probably in print that will require a magnifying glass to read and likely couched in legalese terms, but it should be there somewhere.|||I dont think you can get cash back with credit cards, only with debit cards, in which case no charges apply.|||I don't think stores give cashback when you use a credit card only a debit card.|||Cashback is only given when presenting a debit card for payment of goods.





Cashback does not apply to credit cards.


(Credit Cards are cash Advance transactions not cash back transactions. )|||I am surprised by some financial questions on here !!!!!


any cashback you take from a shop gets added to your bill, end of.|||lots of people have put what i consider the right answer - you wont get offered cash back on credit cards for that very reason, debit cards only.|||I worked in a supermarket and generally they do not give cash back on credit cards so i do not think you need worry. Should it be possible, but i don't think it is, you pay interest on any cash advance. It is not just a one off interest either- it is payable for the entire time you owe that money.|||It doesn't cost you anything to get cash back on a debit card and I don't think they offer it if you use a credit card.|||it will be two separate transactions, so you will be charged for the 拢50 cash that you had. they can't charge you a cash handling fee when you've used credit. no matter where or how you use your credit card, if you physically withdraw cash from it by some means you will be charged a cash handling fee xx

How long does it generally take for Dell to ship out a notebook?

I purchased a Mini 12 from Dell on 3/7/09, and it just went into the boxing stage today.





The money is pending on my credit card, but it is not a completed transaction yet.





By the way, the estimated ship date is 3/20/09


Estimated delivery is 3/27/09





Does anyone have any experience with this?|||I feel ya. I don't know why it takes so long. I recently ordered one and it's not been shipped yet. I got a basic, stock notepad, only real special thing on my mini 9 is I upgraded the memory which I'd assume they should have those computers made already as just about everyone who gets a mini nine upgrades the memory. So I dunno. My estimated delivery date is April 10th! With overnight shipping, I assume i'll get it earlier as it really is very simple to create and hope they gave themselves a bit space gap, just because. So maybe i'll be lucky and have it here tomorrow or saturday but doubt it.





It sucks waiting, I really want my computer, I don't have one and am tired of having to go to a friends house to use his. So... it's the waiting game, they sure were quick to take the money, lol, needless to say if i don't have it by like mid next-week i'll be upset.

I was so annoyed. hopefully they will get yours shipped on time and it will be there on the 27th.|||It would depend on if you chose an express service or you chose to send it regular mail. if you ordered it through regular mail then it would take longer.

Are there algorthims (simple) to get a measure of loyalty for a service?

I want to be able to analyse service data (customer, date, size) for each transaction and to get a single measurement to see how loyal our customers are. Customers are grouped into units (departments).|||Because you said "simple":


You may want to create some ratio,


for example, "loyalty per customer",


where you:


(1) put into numerator all values with


positive impact


(2) put into denominator all values


with negative impact


(3) define co-efficients of


IMPORTANCE (i.e. weight) per


each value, and multiply each


value by its respective


co-efficient





Examples of (1):


* how often each customer visited your


site


* how often each customer really bought


something


* how much each customer bought each


time


* how much each customer bought


during some period of time (year,


month)


* ...





Example of (2)


* overdrafts, returns, etc


* ...

Pending transaction on paypal?

i sold an iphone on ebay on monday, he send the money over on paypal the next day. Under my recent activity it says 'payment status complete' but under my balance i have no money to access and it still says pending. Also it says the release date for the money pending is July 12. Is that right? thats a couple of weeks from now. I heard your not suppose to ship items until the transaction is complete. thanks in advance!|||If the person sending the payment sent an 'e-check', this can end up holding up the payment until the 'e-check' clears through his bank, just like with a regular check. Technically, you have not received payment until it does clear; all you have gotten is a 'promise' of payment. You can cover yourself by emailing the person and stating that you will ship once payment clears completely. I've done that before with e-checks and had no problems with it. My shipping details on every listing now state clearly that I will not ship until an e-check clears.|||What the tax lady says is correct. Once you receive confirmation of payment on PayPal or Ebay website (be cautious about believing possibly fake e-mails), you are obligated to ship the item within 7 days.





However, if you get positive feedback for the sale or provide proof of delivery, the money may be released to you sooner. But that is unlikely to happen until the buyer receives the item. That is all part of buyer protection.|||I would not send anything until this clears. And make sure you are shipping to the registered Paypal address only, nowhere else, or you have no protection.





Your other question shows they want it shipped to Nigeria, which means it's a scam. Paypal does not allow any accounts from Nigeria so you know this cannot be legit - they probably hacked some real person's paypal account





I would call Ebay and Paypal ASAP before you do anytihng else|||If you can see the money when you sign in--even if you don't have access to it--it's time to mail the phone.





Paypal requires you to ship within 7 days. The 3 week delay is to ensure the buyer has the item before you get the money.

How would an investor gain a profit on this?

This has to do with futures.





A farmer agrees to sell 10,000 bushels of wheat to a bread maker for $4/share in February, in which they both agree to a specified date in July to enact the transaction.





July arrives and now the price of a bushel is $5. So now the bread maker has to pay the wheat farmer what? Would the bread maker pay $40,000 for the bushels and then resell those bushels at current market value of $50,000, thus gaining a profit of $10k?





According to text, the bread maker pays $50k, why!?|||The bread maker could close out his futures contract, which gained $10,000 in value, then buy bread in the spot market for $50,000. The bread maker gained a profit from the futures contracts. The bread maker agreed to buy at $4 on a certain date, then later agreed to sell at $5 on the same date, so he wouldn't be sending or receiving anything (the exchange matches both futures contracts together so there is no need for delivery and the farmer would make delivery of the 10,000 bushels to someone else who needed it). The exchange matches long position (buy) and short positions (sell) together, so the original two traders in the beginning may not be matched together if one of them closes out their position. Delivery is a pain in the *** so it is easier to just close out your position and buy or sell in the spot market.

How do I find the tracking number for an item I sent?

P.S.: I tried calling the post office, but they said only I would have the tracking number. So I can only assume that the tracking number is one of the numbers I have mentioned, or that one of the numbers i have mentioned can be used to find the tracking number.|||if you sent the item with the regular u.s. postal service and did not get insurance, or delivery confirmation.. then no there is no tracking number.





if you sent it with fed ex, ups, or some other professional shipping company then they should have gave you a tracking number.

Excel: How do I make a cell show the date of when either of two other cells are filled with information.?

And thats where I'm stumped.

Is it legal for a bank to rearrange the timing of your transactions?

My daughter is 17 and learning how to maintain a checking account... the hard way. I've noticed that our bank collects transactions received by them daily. The actual occurance of the transactions can range in date from 1-5 days. Instead of posting them in order according to the date they were transacted, the bank posts them in order from largest amount to smallest. What this does for the bank is give them more opportunities to apply overdraft fees, if there are to be any. What this does to the consumer is charge them more overdraft fees than should be. The bank is rearranging the timing of withdrawals and charges to their advantage, subjecting the consumer to much higher fees than one would or should expect. Is this legal?|||I doubt the bank is rearranging withdrawls ... however several things could be happening.


If you are using a debit/check card those transactions can take 1-4 business days before showing up on your account.


Another explination is if the bank is placing deposits on hold. In this case your balance could be deceptive as to what is actually there to be used.





Hope this helps.|||Every bank I ever dealt with always runs them in the order received. They can not run them before they get them. When I did ask my bank officer why they ran the largest first, they said that it is assumed that those are more likely bill payments and they hate to send them back. The real lesson here, though, is simple. DO NOT WRITE A CHECK IF YOU DO NOT HAVE MONEY IN THE BANK.|||I'm sure it is legal - after all, they are posting them AFTER the transactions are made, correct? Technically, the money should be in there before you make the transaction. But if you are saying that she writes a check for $100 on Wednesday the 11th and they are taking it out on Tuesday the 10th, then that is illegal. But as long as they take them out the day of the transaction, it is legal. The money should be there before the check is written, or else they have the right to bounce it.|||This is perfectly legal. Make the deposit, THEN write the check. Nobody who keeps responsible records should ever have to pay an overdraft fee. Let this be a lesson to your daughter. When checks are processed, the bank has no way of knowing when the check was written as this is not encoded on the check.|||Yes, that is listed in UCC-Uniform Commecrial Code. The reason behind it is they try to process the largest sums first because that may be more important payment for the account holder-like mortgage, instead of smaller payments, like groceries or credit card payment. Basically they would try to process your large payments first so if possible they don't bounce. It is for the advantage of the client. Plus your daughter should start learning not to write or take more money out of her account then what she has physically in. That way she will never be on negative and she will never have to pay a penny for overdraft fees.

Can a bank post transactions on a given day in order to maximize their potential for overdraft earnings?

Is this legal? My bank rearranges things after the fact. On Sunday, for instance, they'll have posted transactions in a certain order with Monday's date. On Monday evening, they'll rearrange the transactions in order from largest $$ to smallest amount. This way, if the account goes below zero, they can potentially charge back the customer many overdraft fees, instead of processing the large transaction last, and only charging one overdraft fee.|||The banks are crooks and they only care about making money for the bank and not there to help out the little guy.Senior citizens leave millions of dollars in non interest bearing accounts that the bank makes money off of.|||It's Illegal by federal law. About 10 years ago I was involved in a class action lawsuit against Bank One for exactly that issue. Regardless of what order the checks or charges arrived, they would rearrange them from largest to smallest in order to maximize the chances of overdrafts. They made millions in the process until they lost the suit, and were forced to change their policy.|||I used to work for a bank that would do that, you may be a customer of this bank because this is the only bank that I have known to do this. It is not illegal for them to do so. The reason that this is done is not for maximizing profits on overdraft fees. The system that you speak of was created to eliminate the returning of items as unpaid that are of utmost importance. That is not say that the purchases you have made are not all important, however, before this system cutomers accounts were returning car payments, house payments, large items that obviously take precedent over other items because of the financial and possible legal implications. For example, if someone were to have $1000 in their account and over the weekend you make $600 in transactions, but your house payment does not go through until Monday all the items that show on your virtual statement as pending or waiting to be paid will be altered based on that house payment posting to your account. Saturday and Sundays are not considered business days that is why they only affect your balance and do not show as acutally being paid. All items listed will be paid if they are not a check but when that $800 house payment comes through that leaves $200 because the larger item takes priority. That means that on Monday night when the items are processed $400 of the items purchased over the weekend will receive overdraft fees. What creates the problem is that your balance may still show $1000 even after the weekend transactions and will not change until Tuesday morning and that is when the overdraft fees are placed on the account. The resolution is that at the banking institutions discretion they will place a cap on the number of items that are showing as non sufficient. Generally on a consumer account it is 5 total that may receive a fee where as on a business account it is 6. Still high and expensive, but the end result is that your house payment is paid and not returned on account of your weekend spending. This system was developed speciffically for this reason because customers were having items returned that were more important than the small purchases made. It may seem that they are making more money off of this system, but in the end it ensures that your priority payments are secure so to speak.|||that happened to me one time...but i spoke to them and reverted the charges|||Sure can... I had this issue as well... bank bounced 5 debits all under 10.00 rather then just bouncing a 50.00 debit...jerks... I called the bank and they read my the clause of my 'service agreement' that allows them to do that..... check it out... it's in there...|||the answer for that is no. the posting of your transactions doesnt have something to do with the charges filed to you. you can even trace that. so even if the bank post your transactions on monday or tuesday, it still depends on the time that it was processed. and again, not on the day it was posted.|||Happens all the time!

What are the duties of a closing lawyer?

If I have a problem meeting my closing date in a real estate transaction, because my mortgage company made a mistake, is that covered by the duties of the closing lawyer or do I have to pay the lawyer additional fees above the closing costs.|||Is what covered? What do you want the lawyer to do about it? Negotiate with the mortgage company? Contact the other party about an extension?





The duties of the closing lawyer are spelled out in the written agreement you have with the lawyer. They are not the same in all cases, in all states. But generally, the closing lawyer simply makes sure all of the documents and funds are assembled and ready to go on closing day, and then attends the closing and makes sure everyone signs everything to complete the deal. It is really just a matter of checking everything off the list. It is up to each party to get the documents/funds to the closing lawyer, not for the closing lawyer to chase them down.

What is the difference between my billing cycle and due date?

so my credit card bill due date was 9/28 (yesterday) and my statement says my next billing cycle starts 10/3. I paid it off on the 26th. So can someone please explain to me, if i use my card say today or tomorrow does that charge go to my october statement or september statement? And if it is still on september statement will i be charged interest on the transaction after the due date? This is my first credit card and I'm trying to take every precaution so I don't fall into a trap and Im just making sure I understand everything THANK!|||Good job making a payment before the due date! Most credit cards do not charge interest if you pay the entire balance showing on the statement by the due date (check the terms of the card to be sure). Typically statements cover about a month's transactions and payment due dates are weeks after the statement end date. If your payment was less than the entire balance, interest will accrue on that balance plus any purchases since then. It sounds like the next statement will cover transactions through 10/2, so purchasing before then will be included on that statement. The best way to use a credit card is to keep the statement balance below 30% of the credit limit and pay the entire balance before the due date each month; this builds credit history and avoids interest fees.

You should lose your deposit - after all us guys behind the scenes are working our butts off to get the deal out on time sometimes with short notice, I had one yesterday who was just wasting everyones' time and we had taxed her car for her- turned out she was just using the time up on a visit to her parents and had no intention of buying a car even though she had paid a deposit. spare a thought for us in admin!!!|||There is no time frame for" cooling off" All the people above are wrong. The only time you would have it is with brand new cars and that would be only if something mechanical is wrong with the car and the dealership attempted to fix it three times and their attempts failed.

You will loose the deposit amount but as long as you have not actually signed the contract with the bank and you have not taken possession of the car you can cancel at any time since this is not the actually purchase, it was just an offer. They would try to convince you that you can't cancell a deposit just to keep you to buy the car, but that is not true.

Freight paid by: CS Schools supplies


Date Account paid: June 7





What would be the Journal Entries?


Thank you!|||When were the items received by Miriam Bookstore? Since FOB shipping is the destination point the property does not change ownership until the items arrive at Miriam Bookstore.





When the items do arrive, Miriam Bookstore would debit the appropriate asset account and credit Accounts Payable. When they pay, they would then debit A/P and credit Cash.





When the items arrive, CS Schools Supplies would debit Accounts Receivable and credit Inventory (assuming a perpetual inventory system, not periodic). They would also have to debit COGS and credit Sales. When payment was received on June 7th, and not taking into account any coupon requirement was met, then CS would debit Cash and clear out the A/R account for that amount that had been owed. COGS as an expense and Sales as a revenue would not be affected by receipt of payment. Hopefully this helped, it is just off the top of my head.





These journal entries are assuming that FOB is not occurring at the end of an operating cycle. If the goods are being transferred while financial statements have to be prepared then that is a whole other can of worms. Isn't accounting fun? :D
