Can I sue my lawyer? I went to him to file a law suit against the school board when my child was stripped searched. In the consultation he told me the judge may request any money to be put in a trust fund.
He later called me & recommended that I settle for ,000, rather than spends years in court. I agreed & went to his office to sign the agreement & his bill for 40%. I never seen a judge. He called a few weeks later & told me to open a bank account with his bank so he can deposit the check. I opened an account that said my name in c/o my daughter. He deposited a check from him to my daughter. I never saw the schools boards check. Well the next day I made a withdraw to buy my daughter a computer & hoped to get her tutoring, she needs. The bank called me later & asked me to return the money because the lawyer had dropped off a court order saying he has power to put the mney in CD’s untill my daughter reaches majority.
I refused & requested a copy of the court order that I knew nothing of. The bank never sent it, took my name off the account & opened an account for me in the negative.
I searched online & found that the paperwork I signed was filed with an added request for him to have power to do this in the middle of the file, without my signature. I have no proof of the CD’s & the bank turned my case over to their fraud department. I cotacted the judge who responded with a letter saying she did what I wanted & I should contact my lawyer with questions. He don’t return my calls. My daughter is now in emotional support class & still needs help with her grades.

Back in July 2008, I moved into an apartment. I was working from home before and had written down someones information to get them signed up for a product that required personal information. I called the electric company to put the electric in my name, and they said I wasn’t able to get it because I had a prior past due bill that needed to be paid first. I was freaking out because I didn’t have that kind of money, and I was pregnant and have a 5 year old child. I was racking my brain on what to do, so I went though my notebook and found this person’s information. I called the electric company and put it in their name. Every bill that I got, I paid, and was never late. It wasn’t my intent to hurt this person at all. I just needed to borrow it to make sure that my unborn child and my 5 year old had heat and a way for me to make them food. I ended up moving out a few months later after the baby was born and in with someone else, and had the electricity turned off. I forgot about paying the balance of the budget bill (0 and some change). The electric company located this person (states away) and mailed them the bill. It was reported as fraud/identity theft. I was contacted by my city police and went down to the station immediately and confessed everything. I even brought proof that I had been paying the bill. The officer was extremely nice and thanked me for my cooperation. He stated that he can tell that I didn’t do this out of malice because I was extremely truthful and he sees proof of payment. He told me that he would send it to the DA and call me when and if a warrant was issued so I could go and turn myself in without embarrassment. Just this Friday, he called and said a warrant was issued and a ,000 bond as well. He told me to just come in Monday morning at 6am that way I could see the judge the same day for my preliminary hearing. I am guilty, I know that I did it, and I don’t want to plead NOT guilty because that would make me a liar. I want to know if I plead guilty on Monday, if I will be put in jail. I’m scared, but I know I messed up and am willing to pay back what I owe. I have no record other than minor traffic violations. What do you think will happen?

I am 17 years old work for a restaurant called Frizzle’s. It is privately owned business local to Huntsville, AL. I have been there for 9 months now and like the work and the people decently. For the first few months I never really kept up with my money, but some people started complaining about being shorted money so I have been keeping very close track of it lately. I have noticed that I am missing approximately 4 hours or so on my last couple checks. I asked the managers about it and was told that due to a lot of employees taking a break on the clock, everyone is now being deducted 30 mins (allowed break time) out of every 4+ hour shift. Can they really, legally do this, or is that considered payroll fraud? I personally do not usually take a break when I work, and when I do I actually clock out. It’s not necessarily even the money issue that makes me mad, just the fact that I am flat out being screwed out of money for time that I put in money.
I am also pretty sure that the money that is deducted from our checks is not being reported on their tax records (although I have no proof of this). Since it is an individually owned business there is no corporate office or anyone I can complain to, so what I can do about the money that we are all being ripped off? I would rather avoid having to sue them, and I’m not interested in making thousands of dollars. I just want to be paid for the time I work. And I don’t want a bunch of lawyer and court fees just over a couple hundred dollars.

I am also requesting a copy of the record of all the hours I have worked since I have been there and a copy of every check stub (which from whata I read they legally have to give me if I request it and I KNOW they have it all on record somewhere).

Anyway I know this was long, but I appreciate any advice or information anyone can give me, especially like a civil lawyer or something. If you think you could help me out with a few questions long term please email me at penguinluvinman@yahoo.com

I’m trying to research my family tree. My grandparents were Norman Carruba, (came from Sicily to B’ham, AL), and Norma Musso, (came from Sicily to New Orleans). Is anyone out there related to me? If so, how and do you have proof? (Fraud is easy online)
Serrious answers only, please.

found out there is a warrant out for felony misuse of credit card for me in ohio, however, i have never lived there, been there, nor do i know anyone that lives there. i definitely didnt do the crime!!!! called and was confirmed that a warrant is in my name, however i talked to someone about how it is ID theft, and how i have proof of living in a totally different state, in another part of the country. some secretary told me that i need to come there and turn myself in, but when i talked to someone else they told me to just talk to someone in fraud/theft and they will try to straighten it out so i wouldnt have to (live in louisiana). i am also pregnant, so i don’t want to go there and have to go to jail since i am almost 7 months along!! scared out of my mind!! should i just go to a lawyer and see what (s)he can do??? not sure where to go. filed a report with ftc.gov and fraud alerts. should i have to turn myself in when i didnt do it??
i did place fraud alerts on my credit report (got one after i found out about the warrant). and found 2 address in ohio, i’ve never lived there nor know anyone who has. and am working on getting that straight too…. worried because i dont want to go to jail when i didn’t do anything wrong, esp that!!!! not because i did it!

Grandma is obsessed with non existant abuse/neglect, and wants to take children from parents, with no legal grounds. Has already filed several false reports w/ cps. She is outraged when parents move, against her wishes. She coerces her son (with offer of land?) to take kids, and file for divorce… knowing that divorce is only grounds on which she can intervene for custody. He is sucked into it, and files divorce petition (w/ fraudulent statements about how kids were taken), until talking to wife and realizing mistake, decides to reconcile with his wife. When he decides to make things right, grandma runs with the kids..and files affidavit with court that she was "protecting" the children. Court grants her custody based on her perjury.
Is it defined as fraud against the court? After she has grabbed kids, parents are too scared to fight and sign agreement, without a lawyer. Dad’s "original" lawyer was part of the divorce plan, knowing why grandma wanted divorce.
Proof (court records, police reports against grandma, etc) are available, which PROVE she took kids, not because in "danger" but as retaliation against parents for moving from her property.

To start, my ex moved out in the beginning of August, I’d been transferring money for half the bills to his bank account every month. Shortly after he moved out, I found out he hadn’t paid any of the bills for 2 months. We had a meeting with his attorney and he agreed to catch up the bills. Yesterday i got a letter in the mail stating my house is in full foreclosure with a date set for it to be auctioned. I’ve got proof of having given him the money and what it was meant for, I’ve got his attorney as a witness that he did agree to pay these bills. So I guess I’m wondering if there is anything I can do as far as filing a report for fraud or misappropriation of funds? I am certain with the conclusion of the divorce, a judge will make him pay for all of these, but I’m wanting there to be more repercussions in the form of legal action if possible. Any help or advice is VERY welcome!
I don’t have an attorney, this was an agreement made with his. It is through the CO courts. I asked for him to give me the money to send off, but he insisted it be him, so trying to be civil I figured it was a petty issue and gave in. There’s got to be something other than suing him in civil court that I can do…

I used to live in state A, and someone in state B (a state I’ve never even visited) used my SSN to establish a telephone account then proceeded to run up a 00 debt. It went unpaid and was sent of to at least 4 different collections agencies. Each credit reporting bureau is reporting some combination of this collections debt, but they all differ. I have filed an ID Theft affidavit, but am unable to file a police report in state A because the crime occurred in state B. I am unable to file a report in state B because police reports must be filed in person. I have included federal and state A tax forms from the time the ID theft occurred as proof that I was not living in state B at the time. I have disputed all occurrunces of the debt at all 3 credit agencies, some have removed one or more instances of the collections items, some have not. They have not all removed the same items. Is there any way to get all 3 bureaus to be consistent in their removal of items?

O.k I dont mean to be a big biznatch by posting about my problems but I really do need some Sound advice right now. [ I dont have any relatives Or friends at all.] Without giving details, I am in a very dangerous position right now MOSTLY because It is really as lawyers put it "deeply involved" since it went on for so long and as a child I could not begin to get help. I need Proof of alot of things that are going on right now. And My question is WHAT KIND of lawyer will help do an investigation and Also take on a case that has MUltiple crimes [ ransom, forgery, kiddnapping, fraud, and False medical information] WHAT KIND OF LAWYER WOULD THIS BE?? — p.s I am the victim. I am over 18.
No Snide remarks or jokes. If you answer my question I will Also answer yours.

Long story short mother has been reciveing welfare for said child. but child lives with father since nov 2003!! Mother supports the child zero percent. Child doesnt even have a bed in mothers home ( the child is 5 ) . No custody has ever been established! Court on tuesday what will happen? In my eyes mother is recieving this support by lying and should be charged with fraud! Also what could be used as proof that child lives with father?? we have medical records stating all the time we took her to the hospital etc.. We also have pics what else could be used?
I am the wife have been since mar 2004

OK, my refinance loan fell through, and the reason the broker gave me, after a lot of stalling, was that the lender had decided not to do any more loans in my state.
Well today, I found out that’s not true, and talked to a broker who is closing 3 loans with that lender in the next 48 hrs.
He also found out my refi was never submitted to the lender, and gave me the number of an investigator with whom I’m filing a complaint.
My question is, should I contact the broker at all at this point? Should I ‘play along’ with the lies he told and ask him to send me something in writing for my records, so that I have written proof rather than just a verbal conversation?
Or should I get the head of this operation involved and tell him I know what’s going on, and try to get him to make good? Don’t really want to do biz w/them now

Should I expect to compensation for their negligence/fraud now that interest rates are up .6 % from my lock in, ie, tens of thousands of dollars over loan term?

Why are men (good men, good fathers) still treated so unfairly as far as child support payments and custody?

Why is it okay for woman with no education, no job, no reason for living allowed to collect money more than likely not spend it on the child, and still sit on her ass and collect hard earned money from their childs father.

Why do the courts not open their eyes to this fraud?

Why can the custodial parent petition for child support and lie on applications to get as much money as possible from the non-custodial parent, while they have to show proof of this that and the third and have basically no say. Also in most states its every three years before the payments can be reviewed or not.

Why do woman not take responsibility for the these child they have? Im not saying that some of these men dont deserve to pay but if you are taking all of their money who will pay man support for them if all their hard earned money is taken?
Thanks for all the answers, and for those of you who dont think that men pay enough child support and say it takes two to tango , well then split the damn cost of care for the child. I personally think all money given to the child should be put in a trust for college and such. That way there is no question as to where the money is going, also if it takes two then why not just split it half and half. Now that seems fair… I bet a lot more woman would start being honest about how much it actually takes to raise a child. I know I am a single mother and I didnt want child support, because I knew he wouldnt be able to live if I asked. Then you want to get mad at the men who cant pay or owe back pay… dumb asses think about what you do because it will all come back on you. If you depend on child support to make ends meet then you dont need to have children, because heaven forbid something happens to your childs father and he cant pay. Then your SOL.

My ex husband has been collecting social security disability for at least 10 years now since our divorce. He has remarried and both of us have moved on with our lives. We have very little to do with one another, except for the children. I have suspected he was lying when he quit his job shortly after the divorce and began collecting disability for being "blind". He was still doing yard work, etc… around the house, but he and his current wife claim he is "legally blind" and I have not bothered with it since figuring that I’m sure social security required some sort of proof.

As it turns out now, I discovered last night he is now roofing for a friend (for cash of course). My daughter hasn’t been to her dad’s almost all summer and since she doesn’t see him all year (except at xmas time) I encouraged her to call and make arrangements with him. From what I understand he’s been working and doesn’t have arrangements for her. Not to mention this is FRAUD, right? What should I do?

I have been a victim of criminal conspiracy and have proof- but it is out of a civil probate issue; it involves banking, real estate, stocks, guns, intellectual personal property, taxes,..& legal malpractice…. I had trusted the system, but am now aware of and can prove conspiracy, fraud, and obstruction of justice….one of the attys is a federally convicted felon for conspiracy in sales of unregistered securities in another state…but the local politics & being a civil case originally has made this seem that civil court is a perfect cover for crimes otherwise found in criminal court…hope that makes sense…any opinions?

Scenario: Woman tells guy she had a one-night stand with that she is pregnant with his child, and he (stupidly) agrees to pay her child support without any sort of paternity test. Not only is he not the father, but she knows (from the start) that he is not the father.

She has INARGUABLY committed the crime of theft by fraud, right? Yeah, he may be an idiot. Yeah, he should watch where he puts his private parts – but fundamentally, she is receiving money from him by telling him a lie, right? Is that not the definition of fraud? The fact that she may be using the money for a child that he had nothing to do with does not change her culpability for this lie, does it?

Now, clearly the life of the child is paramount, and sending the primary custodian to jail would be a problem, but if she had committed an unrelated murder, we’d send her to jail and the kid would be "out on the streets", right? Primary custodians are not above the law just because society cares about its children, right?

Unfortunately, if you look at current case law, you might think differently. We just recently had a case where the guy went to jail because he was unable to make his payments, and he turned out not to be the father. Yes, the court said he didn’t have to continue making his payments now that they knew he was not the father, but nothing (so far) has been done about the time he spent in jail or the money he has already paid.

Personally, I think this is a great argument for mandatory paternity tests before any child support decrees are made.

Legally and morally, how is telling a lie under these circumstances any different than borrowing your neighbor’s kid, misrepresenting him as yours and the guy’s and demanding child support?
I guess I’m not really asking what either the man or the woman SHOULD do. Clearly she shouldn’t have lied. Clearly he should have demanded proof.

I’m really asking what our courts should do, and how society should treat this.
The scenario specifically states "she knows" – that isn’t part of the question. If you want me to make it more specific, how about "he was drunk and she knew that she didn’t have sex with him but she told him she did."

She knows. Take it as fact.
Kylie, why is not the same as using the neighborhood kid? Because she is doing it for the kid? There are plenty of reasons why people commit crimes. If we’re going to balance punishment against need, are we going to give nastier penalties to white collar criminals than thugs holding up donut shops to survive?

theft, forgery, fraud, perjury, kidnapping a child. I need support, have all the proof and evidence to show the courts. Can not afford a lawyer, in florida can not get reimbursed for attorney fees. ANY ANSWER’S? Please Help, People that have ripped me off know this.

kids lived at home, but two of three don’t. and the ex-wife nor the kids will tell the child support enforcement or courts to get them off child support. both kids work and live outside of their mother’s home for years. yes they have moved back once or twice but never stayed for longer than a few months.

My question is, it is illegal for her collect child support in a situation like this? to me it would be fraud. and if it is, how do i turn her in. we cannot afford a lawyer or PI to get proof but the kids tax records should show they worked and where they lived.

I would rather the kids get emanciapted, but their mother tells them they can’t and there is no such thing as emanciaption. I know that is a lie I was emanciaped at 16. and in their state there in no age requirement.

Please only answers from lawyers or people that have gone through the same thing, BS answers will be flagged, thank you

The state in question is Co

My mother in-law was working with a person in L.A. He paid her mortgage out of his bank account, under the impression that he would be able to get her loan done. When he figured out that he couldn’t get the loan done, they set-up an arrangement for her to pay back the money.
Well, the bank then took the money out of HIS account for the next two payments. When he realized this, he called the bank and said it was fraud. They took the money back, and she was suddenly three months behind, and got a pre-foreclosure notice.
I know that the California Department of Real Estate has some pretty strict standards and rules. Can she sue them for some sort of malpractice? If not, what can she do?
She has proof that the money was co-mingled, and her 740 FICO score has now been dropped to the low 600’s.
I am looking for help from someone with experience in this field.
We live in the San Francsico Bay Area, and this guy’s office is in Irvine, Ca. Please help!!
To those who have answered………….
He did not LOAN her the money. He told her he would pay the mortgage. I have personally paid for the mortgage to be caught-up and up to date. She was taken advantage of because of her age. AS far as the responsibility factor is concerned. A cheap, filthy, mortgage broker who will lie through his teeth should take responsibility for thinking that he can take the easy way out of everything. My wife is a real estate agent, but she doesn’t mess with loans. We were on vacation when this happened. We came back and thought it was taken care of. Now, months after the fact, I have paid ,500 out of my own pocket, and he is telling everyone in his company that he doesn’t know her. This gives everyone in the mortgage business a bad name. THis is just unethical, and from my research co-mingling money is ILLEGAL. That is exactly what happened here, and I need to make sure. My lawyer says I can get DRE to revoke their license with my proof. But I hate to
mess with someone’s livelihood. I just think that his responsibility factor with all of this is just sad. So, to those of you wanted more info……..I hope this is enough for you.

daughter and hubby have scheduled hearing on friday for custody case involving his parents. after the parents filed to regain custody of kids, his parents retaliated with more "allegations". Now, my daughter isn’t sure if there is even still a hearing (since their lawyer is doubtful of them succeeding) and is unclear on what the lawyer now plans.
I went with them earlier this week, ready to be witness, and with ample evidence that I feel would show that his parents have already committed fraud. The lawyer never bothered to even talk to me, evaluate what I have proof of or know… all of which is relevant to the reliability of current hearing and decision. The lawyer was introduced to me, KNEW I was there to talk with her… and never bothered.
I smell a MAJOR screw up coming. I don’t think the lawyer has a clue how far the other party is willing to go, to cover their own lies.
no, this is a civil dispute, and due to not having an attorney in the first place, they foolishly "agreed" to sign custody, with no cause. So it is not court appointed. It has been pure hell to come up with $$ to hire even this one (who is supposed to be good).
We learned that the hearing was rescinded, and there is mediation planned, and a guardian ad litem to be appointed. Maybe someone will finally listen to what the facts all really are.
Thanks to all…

Hey guys, an old credit card debt I had got put into collections with Vandenburg & Chase associates.. well I haven’t had a call from them in 3 months.. well suddenly, they started beginning to call all my family members.. they said they did a search and it came up with my family.. so they called my sister & said I was needed because I was being investigated for fraud… well I called the company back & they said "No, this is about a credit card debt you had. I don’t know who left that message." I asked them why they called & said that, and he said, "Haha, Do you have proof that someone left that message?" And i said "uh yeah, its on my sisters answering machine…" So basically they called my family members talking about my financial info and gave them a case number.. so I reported it to FTC, BBB, and the state consumer affairs… He said that I "obviously have no interest in repaying this bill so he’s going to make a recommendation to continue this, because your an @sshole and won’t pay your bills, you puss.."… I told them I didn’t have it right now & could pay it later. How can I get this to stop?

Scenario:Hungary woman (w/ young daughter) & American wed in 2000.
Present day 2007-Mom & American still married by law, Hubby incarcerated for one year. They could not make the interview regarding the "alien relative petition" due to his jail time. The appointed lawyer (since inception & paid in full) advised of Hubby’s inability to appear, however provided no proof, nor gave a time when said interview could be rescheduled. (& another form failed to be submitted on behalf of daughter.) Due to the negligence of the attorney- Mom & daughter 100% established (owns 2 homes, 2 cars) are being denied permanent residence and/or adjustment status and are being asked to leave the US within 30 days (no option to appeal / court see’s it as abondonment in filings) .
What recourse is there against the lawyer for failing to do a job he was paid for? More importantly, can another attorney step in and step UP ASAP? Does immigration care that the attorney goofed? Can Mom/daughter get a "stay"?

what is the laws punishment for recieveing child support and your not taking care of the children and your not giving money to the people taking care of the children and providing for the children and your useing it for your own well being for your bills,food,other other children,real estate? How can you get proof and find them in a court of law guilty? How to get CPS involved and the person put in jail and get the children takin away if the other provider is not putting them in a safe/hostile enviorment? EX: They dont go to school, Steal, and Having sexual encounters with men/women while a minor? BUT, the children and parents deny everything being said even tho it’s true! Can CPS see where all the child support money is going or not? Can this issue be investigated without them knowing about it to prove it???
