My parents have a room in MHADA, Borivali area. A lady, who deals in MHADA rooms told us that she will sell our room, and will get us a FLAT in return, all we have to do is give her the amount we will get when we sell the room. And plus we will have to pay some more amount for new flat.
Agreeing to this, we sold the room, she gave us 6 lakhs cash for it. Next day she took those 6 lakhs back plus we gave her 2 lakhs more, total 8 lakhs. She said we will get a flat in a month. It has been 2 years now, she has not returned a single penny of those 8 lakhs, nor gave us a new flat.
I however, have the possession for that MHADA room, but she has taken the papers and signatures from my mother to transfer the ownership.
That ladys phone is off, no sign of her. All i have is on a stamp paper written that she has taken 8 lakhs from us, with her signature, and some blank cheques that she has given to us.
If we deposit those cheques, court will ultimately give her time to pay back, which she will never do, and she told us upfrontly that if u complain to the cops, your money is gone, she said she will give a share to cops and they will never investigate further.
After spending 8 lakhs, we dont have more amount to spend for hiring a lawyer and fighting a case, because ultimately she has kept her collar clean as its nowhere mentioned on paper that we sold her the room, its just mentioned that she has taken cash from us for some personal use.
WHAT IS THE SOLUTION FOR THIS SITUATION NOW? HOW CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK?

long story but in the end i need to know how to obtain pretty cheap real-legal advise (live in texas). my parents took my old credit cards and racked them up and didn’t pay and now i’m being hounded by creditors and my credit, which was perfect, is horrible now. parents are VERY poor already with 6 siblings still living with them and i don’t want anything bad to happen to the kids because of my parents’ stupid decisions. any ideas? i dont think suing would be the best idea because i’d never get the money since they don’t have any.

I was having a fight with 2 friends, and it was about the legality of faking your own death.
Obviously, if you gain any money (ie Insurance Fraud), commit Identity Theft, desecrate a body, dodge any debts, or child-payments, get someone blamed for your murder, or do Anything against the law, then it’s illegial. Pretend none of those things happen.
It boiled down to this scenario:
Joe has no outstanding debts, has never been married, and has no children.
Joe pretends to be kidnapped. His friend Mac helps out. Mac sends several letters to Joe’s family, demanding a ransom and threatening Joe’s safety. (Mac has no intention of collecting ransom or hurting Joe.) After a few days, Mac stops, and Joe is never heard from again. Joe’s family assume Joe has been killed.
Joe continues to use his regular identification and pays taxes.
Is this scenario illegial, or just a nasty trick?
-Hoping someone in-the-know will settle this argument.

I want to be considered as a co-owner with my bf’s business. We have not filed any 1099’s but will suffer penalties if we must. I want to claim that I paid myself a salary of 27k which is just enough to cover my mortgage and car note. I am doing this so that I can claim the interest paid on my mortgage (in my name only) as well as a few other deductions such as medical. I also want to receive the stimulus rebate for me and my daughter. Is this tax fraud? What are potential problems? I DO in fact work with my husband on the business. We both make business decisions. We just never really formally "paid" me for my work.
Sorry. We are engaged and have been engaged for a year. And dating for 6. So I just started calling him hubby. for tax purposes, he is my bf.
Why is everyone saying I didn’t work? I DID work, I still DO work for the business. We are just trying to figure out the technicalities of the IRS. In fact, this business was started 3 years ago with a large chunk of my money as well. It just gets complicated because we never defined my position. I guess I am answering my own question. I know I worked for the business, so I guess I know it’s not fraud. But how do I prove that to the IRS? All my work is for nothing because we never filed a 1099? We can’t be the only business in the world that forgot to issue a 1099. What is it? Like a fine?

Basically, my friend’s father is a really hardworking man who has been facing a lot of financial situations during his lifetime, as my friend told me. His father is a dump truck driver in Ontario and he had two trucks. One didn’t function well so he sold that. Unfortunately, his second truck got stolen, he’s thinking it’s the same guy who he bought it from. He’s in a major struggle at the moment and has insurance on it. He paid off the truck he bought from the guy around k but he also has no evidence of it, no invoice or anything because he thought he could trust him and then this
happens. Insurance is giving k for the stolen truck but for the better person, either my friend’s father or the person he bought the truck from. The guy had cheated him and he’s mostly likely receiving the money, due to the fact that my friend’s father has no evidence of paying him off, he has a very less chance of winning it. He also spoke to the guy he bought it from, and he said he doesn’t care and that he will see him in court. My friend’s father is a such hardworking person and always struggled in his life and I am feeling very sorry for him and my friend. Is there any way that he can prove to the judge to win the money to help pay off his debts? His truck was stolen but they don’t know who to believe, the guy or my friend’s father, the case seems complicated and there deciding on the court date on who will win. He only has evidence of him paying k to the guy but not the other k. Is there anyway he could win? My friend’s father is broke because of that guy because he depended on that truck for his work and now this. If only God can see this. Please help my friend! Anyone that’s a lawyer that can give advice on what to do on the situation, please, the money is going in the wrong hands.

My best friend took his car ( which he still owed money on) into a used car dealership and they told him they would take his car pay it off and trade it in for a new one, he drove off the lot with a new car that day. They called him a month later and financed him for the car at a lower interest and a lower payment and to come and resign. So he did…. 30 days later he got a call saying that he now owns both his trade in and the new car. That means two cars and now two loans…. What laws are there agains this…. does he have any resitution on this ??? Does he need to hire a lawyer?

I’m being charged with grand larceny in the 3rd. this is a huge mess. I used state health insurance to try to work through psychological issues. Now DSS is saying that my husband makes more money then stated on the application (and on his paystubs and on our tax return). because of this they are saying that all the benifits used are stollen and therefore they are charging me with larceny. I am going to be arrested on Thursday. i have a lawyer and I have had past arrests but no jail time. I live in NY. I’m 26 and have a 6 year old. Can my lawyer try to make a deal to avoid jail time? Any idea what I should logically expect to happen? If i go to jail my daughter will go to Pakistan and i’ll never see her again. I never meant to commit fraud, this is all very scary and my husband isn’t doing anything to help.

What would be the proper course of action to find out if a lawyer mishandled or commited fraud in the estate of a 90 year old woman whose children now find there is no money where there once was over a million dollars just in the bank two years ago?
Also, the 90 year old mother still lives alone. The attorney will not talk to any of the children claiming client confidentiality. The mother will not show any bank statements to her children when she used to do. She says to leave the "nice man" (the attorney) alone.

this is complicated. during a show cause for failure to pay child support, the plaintiff intentionally refused to disclose many payments, also charged higher insurance rates than the actual rate, the defendant was found guilty. defendant did not appeal due to several reasons, attorney fees etc. After much research and recovery of payment documentation defendant just recently tried to have this issue heard in another related hearing but was told the issue was moot. Is there actually any way to recover this money that was not divulged during the show cause hearing,? Can I file theft charges? This has been a very complicated case and the plaintiff intentionally refused to reveal these payments. The money that was not divulged to the courts is a large sum and had these payments been made aware of to the courts, defendant would not have been found guilty. Is it possible to take my case to the states attorneys office? I really do NOT want this person to get away with the crimes they have committed. They are in the legal profession, have used their position to intentionally commit perjury, fraud, theft and malicious prosecution. I know it sounds outlandish but it is true, there are people in this world that have absolutely no respect for the honesty and integrity of the Courts and are so stuck on themselves and greedy they could care less about others freedom and sense of living. I do not have the money for attorneys. Or should I just figure they are only one of the millions that do this sort of thing in our court system everyday and forget about it? I appreciate all information from everyone, Thank You. In Maryland.

This is a situation that my friend is going through. Please, no bashing or anything, but wed like to know some real options and real information. Thanks
Seth and Jin were in business together and had a business account that was under both the name of the business and Seth’s name. Jin was in charge of filing taxes and did them, and sent them in. Recently Jin moved out of the country to go back to school in his home country and sold his half of the business to Seth. Before leaving, Jin wrote a couple checks to himself from the account mentioned above. Now, Jin and Seth did talk about this and it was not a problem. It has been a few months now, and Jin just found out that the IRS did not recieve the tax return and the company is being audited. Seth, thinking that Jin "screwed" him, pressed charges for fraudulent check writing.
Seth is convinced that Jin betrayed him, but he did not.
What are his options? What is the penalty? Would it help to get a lawyer?
The fraud is that Jin wrote and cashed checks under an account with his only his partners name and the name of the company. Seth was aware and okay with the fact that Jin did that under the promise that the money would be paid back, but it looks suspicious now because Jin cashed the checks, then moved out of the country, and now the IRS is auditing the business saying the tax returns never came in. It looks bad on Jins part, but its all coincidence. The tax forms obvioudly got lost in the mail.

On 3/1/10 I signed up for a gym membership with Snap Fitness, which is a 24-hour gym. I liked the idea of a 24-hour gym because my schedule is not like most people’s 9-5, I usually do not get off work til around 1 am, the membership was .95 a month for both my sister and I. I told the gym employee that I was not sure how long I would be able to go to the gym, I was planning on moving within a year, so he told me that it would be month-to-month, which little did I know he wrote 1 year on my contract. Fast-forward to about a month and a half ago, Snap Fitness was bought out by a company named Super 5 Express Fitness. This gym was no longer 24-hours, it was only open from 7am-9pm, which was clearly not going to work for me, it was also only a month for members. I went into the gym and explained my situation, which they said there was nothing they could do for me. I went home and dug out my contract with Snap Fitness, and in the terms it states "Club Unavailability- If any of the services or facilities described in this agreement become unavailable or are no longer fully operational, I am only liable for the portion that was available for the public to use while this agreement is in effect…" Well, in my opinion, the club is no longer fully operational and the services are no longer available because I signed up for a 24-hour gym, which is stated in the contract. I went back in the gym and explained and, they again gave me the same run around that there was nothing they could do. Well, I gave up and felt that I needed to pay the 0 cancellation fee, but decided to freeze my account for a month so I could save up the money. Fast-forward to 2 days ago, I looked at my bank statement after I froze my account and I was still charged the .95 so I went back in furious. The employee told me that there was nothing he could do and he would have the manager call me. Well, I never received a call so I went in today and demanded to speak the manager and he told me he would put the money back in my account and would give me 2 free personal training sessions. "Free personal training sessions?!?!?! I do not even go to the gym any longer." Then the manager said that he would reverse my refund and keep the .95 and that he was trying to do me a favor. Isn’t that fraud? What can I do? I would just pay the 0 cancellation fee but I do not want to give in to them. I was paying 44.95 for a 24-hour gym, how is it that everyone else in that gym is only paying 9? Is there anything I can do to stand up to these monsters?

and spent it immediately and I didn’t even sign up for their pyramid scheme!! Or do you think they would arrest me and say I filled out a false report? We all know how the government operates.
flower- it is not always true that you get more money back than you put into social security. not only does it depend on how long you live and when you retire, but you are not factoring inflation into the equation. the dollars that the government stole from me were worth far more than the money you get back. the dollar has devalued 95% since the inception of the federal reserve. i do not limit my anger toward social security, i am against all government programs. i believe social security steals more money than it gives back to society, i believe social security is making elderly people poor. before medicare the average elderly family paid less than 2000 dollars a year (adjusted for inflation to 1999 dollars) yet in 1999 the average family spent over 4000 dollars. medicare didnt help old people and neither does social security. do you really think people would just die when they turn 65 if these programs didnt exist?

My husband has sent his ex more than the required amount of child support every month since they separated. But, to get more money, she signed the kids up for welfare and told them he has never paid support. The boys are living with us and have been with us 70% of the time in the last 2 years! In March the state of Missouri said he owed k in back support and started garnishing his wages 00/mo. After 2 months of letters, numerous phone calls and mailing receipts etc to prove he doesn’t owe it, we finally got the case closed. I called to ask about being reimbursed for the 00 they had taken that he didn’t owe and was told we couldn’t get it back. They had sent her part of it and put the rest toward her welfare debt! How can this be legal? It’s not his debt! I did turn her in to social services for welfare fraud. This has caused us a serious financial hardship. Is there anything we can do to get our money back from the state?
Barb, I am so glad you know everything! Yes she was awarded custody and child support in the divorce. He started paying her support starting the month they separated and sometimes sent her extra just because he wanted to make sure they had what they needed! Then 6 months later called and told us to come get the boys because she couldn’t handle them! They have been with us ever since. They have started calling me Mommy. Don’t tell me It’s none of my business! I am the one that takes care of these boys 24/7! I am the one who has watched them and my own kids go without because she was selfish! And don’t tell me we don’t deserve to be reimbursed! We proved that he didn’t owe her a dime, that’s why they closed the case!
Maybe you should go back and read the question again, because you obviously didn’t understand the situation. Or maybe you are just hostile because you have dealt with a dead beat dad. I have been there! But my husband is a great dad and takes care of his kids and mine!

How or where can I find answer to questions about possible insurance misrepresentatin or fraud by an employer?
I have discovered that I wasn’t covered by medical insurance when I was supposed to be by my employer. Money was taken out of my check weekly to cover the premiums, I had been insured for over a year with this employer at the time and I didn’t recive any notice of a lapse in coverage. I realised after receiving unpaid bills from my doctor’s offices for annual check-ups, that my employer had let our policy lapse. My employer immediately cut me a check to cover the bills and my insurance premiums were paid. From what I can figure, I was not covered and unaware of it for 2 months. That was over a year ago, and now I think it has happened again. I also think my employer is going to drop our insurance policies altogether and I was wondering how much advanced notice they are required to give?
I live and work in Missouri and am very worried about what my rights to coverage are!

I received a pre-approved loan letter in the mail an went online an applied an was referred to my local office. I took a few documents i was told to bring an within 2 hours was given a high interest loan.Which im ok with..I went home an setup my online account with them etc. I received my first bill friday directed to my local office like normal.Today i received a letter in the mail from citifinancial regrettfully declining my loan.
My question is because one was done online an completed in my local office should i assume the decline letter was just a online routine letter for a application not completed online? And how often is a application accepted an check given out an 2 weeks later they decline it? Or is that even legal for them to do? Thy money already spent on a new roof,so not like i can give it back 2 weeks later..My local office is closed an the main office has no info but says i can probably ignore it.
Another question i have is if i to the best of my knowledge filled out a loan app. an they percieved me as being untruthful can they default me after the fact or sue me for fraud? Not that any of these things happened .I own my own home although i pay someone back who gave me the money to pay it off and ive been at same co for 24 years an gave them my check stub, an drivers license.Just thinkin of every reason they may have declined me after the fact if at all.probably worrying over nothing but still …worrying …ADVICE? OPINIONS…

who can help me?
there is an exchange student program that may have commited fraud on me, because with no fundamental reasons sent me back to my country of origin (Mexico).
this program charges a lot of money for an student to live a period of 10 months (average) in a city in the US to live the american dream, learn about other culture and learn fluent spoken english… al least this are the reasons why my family has sent my older brothers an me to spen a scholar senior year in USA.
i need to know what can i do? because they have sent me back to mexico because some situations that were out of my hands. they never gaveme the option of changing host family ( some msunderstandings stared to feed a bubble of problems) , as other students do when they have problems they are reallocated with the help of the program
in my case they didnt give me the option, they just bought my fligth ticket , put me in a plane and sent me back, with out even discussing it whit my family back home.
what i think is that the program and the family were in complot against me, they violated my privacy ( reading text messages on my cell, or PC) and other unethical practices.
i only spent a month when i suposed to be for a 10months period.
and my money, 00 US for one month??? its ridiculus!!!
i dont want to expose the name of the program, up to this moment im trying to get to an agreement, but if they refuse to either pay back or reconsider their decision and take me back… i will do what ever is in my hands to fix this
can anyone help me? thank you!
i would really appreciate it alot!

My dad married this woman four years ago or so. He got a Power of Attorney. He said they got one because she could use his money in emergency situations. Instead, this woman went behind his back got herself her own apartment and opened credit cards up in his name and had those bills sent to her apartment, so my dad wouldn’t find out. Once my dad found out about it, I don’t know how, they divorced. She stole all this money from him behind his back and now my dad has been in financial trouble but is still making it. My dad is a banker and says that he decided not to go to court with her because of the court fees and the months it would take to solve the case. Is there anyway around this, so my dad doesn’t have to pay for a lawyer or court fees since she stole most of the money, even though it is a Power of Attorney. He says the Power of Attorney was supposed to be used for emergency situations and he trusted her with it, but she went behind his back. Please explain what the Power of Attorney is used for in marriage a little bit better and what can my dad do about this? They have been divorced for three years now, but is it even worth it to try to go to court after all these years?
My dad has been in banking and knows about this stuff, but he just doesn’t like talking about this situation with me. I know he was competent at the time to sign it. He told me not to tell anyone, but I actually heard from my aunt about this situation first. I don’t know why he doesn’t want me to tell anyone about this situation, because I could get advice from my friends about it too. Maybe if I talk to my aunt about this situation again we can pay for all the fees and get that woman back.

Ok, here’s the situation…
My husband and I have been having problems for quite sometime and he is the sole bread winner. I told him that I will not leave with "nothing" as I contributed and worked during the marriage. He told me that instead of getting lawyers involved ( he feels THEY will get all of our money) that he would take out a loan on prosper.com and give me the money so that I may have a nest egg for myself.
I guess he didn’t think I would really leave because right after I withdrew the money he threatened to call the police and have me arrested for fraud, saying that he had no knowledge of the loan and that I took it out without his permission. What is going to happen??? Can I really get in trouble or is it his word against mine?
Thanks
The loan is in his name ONLY. I did not sign anything, all I did was withdraw the money from our joint bank account that was deposited by the loan company, prosper.com
I’m not in a community property state unfortunately! I love in New York…lawsuit capital of the world. I am just worried that I’m going to get in trouble somehow, his sister called me and told me he contacted the loan company and Experian and told them I defrauded him. Lovely guy, isn’t he?
No, he never signed any papers from Prosper.com, it was just an acceptance over the internet.

popped out and hit our neighbors (who we cant stand but thats another story) car. We told them and made a claim with our homeowners insurance (they are renters). So the neighbor told us she wasnt even going to worry about it cause it was a little dent. Well a week later we get a letter saying that they have mailed the neighbors a check for 746.00 for the estimate. My questions are:
Is there a time limit when they need to get it fixed
Can they just take the money and not worry about getting it fixed.
Should I tell the insurance company they havent even gotten it fixed, its been 3 weeks. I dont think they will get if fixed, they are scumbags and freeloaders. But is that insurance fraud? The got a brand new truck a few months ago because someone "hit them" I think it was intentional also, these people are shady

It was about the corruption in the housing market from realtors to brokers and the banks that bought this mortgages up. A lot of people made money and some got RICH. And the rest of us, who played by the rules, paid our mortgages on time got SCREWED. Now it a tv network can figure this out, why can’t the law authorities and hold accountable those how perpetrated these loans which were out and out right fraud.

Agreement was due to many favors and loans i provided. I filed my taxes a week ago and already got my money. Now she is mad and threatening to turn me in for EIC or tax fraud!!!!
I am aware we have no written agreement, and if taken to court for EIC issue, i would lose.
I have no previous tax issues, and this was just a verbal agreement gone bad due to my new relationship…
This was absolutely no flagrant violation, except for my stupidity not to get it in writing. what will happen? Will she have to tak me to court or does IRS pay her too, and make m pay them back….

I need advice from Law Enforcement. I was scammed for ,000 by a guy who used a fake name and said he was from a company that he wasn’t associated with. He had an e-mail address that looked like it came from the real company, phone number the works. I wired the money to a B of A account which he setup with a stolen ID and has since moved the funds to one of those offshore gold accounts. I even looked up his IP address from his e-mails he used something called a proxy server to make it look like he was in different cities.
My lawyer wants a fortune to go after him and doesn’t think he will catch up with him. I have contacted the FBI and they don’t investigate crimes this small and referred me to my local police department.
Is it worth going to my local police? I am wondering if they will investigate something like this if it involves other states and countries? Is it worth the effort and what are his likely consequences ff caught.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
How do you go about finding someone like this that has covered their trail in this manner?
