I am getting sued please help?
I am getting sued please help?
I got a letter in the mail today saying that if I don't pay over a thousand dollars, in 7 or so days, further legal action will be placed. This was from having a smartphone with Rogers, I also signed for my friend to have the same smartphone. I was 19, he was 17. We were young. He ended up calling his Norwegian girlfriend in Norway for hours+hours without any long distance plan. His bill was over a thousand dollars. Mine is big too because they are both canceled now and the cancellation fee $500 per phone. I was young and stupid, now I have to pay and I am soo broke, I just want to get a place with my girlfriend and start over! And I keep having to make the decision of having food on the table or giving all of my hard earned money to rich people. That I technically shouldn't even owe. What do I do? :'( I feel like crying / dying

This is not a large sum, and you should not file bankruptcy or let this overwhelm you. It was, as you say, just stupidity, but it was your mistake. Stop avoiding the debt, and get a second job for a while to pay off the $1000. You can do that easily. It may delay your move, but not for long. Besides, you and your gal should have at least $4000 saved up before you head out on your own. That is necessary for emergencies and unexpected expenses. Be patient, and be diligent. This should be easily paid off in 2-3 months with a second part-time job. This is a very small hurdle to overcome, and you need to prove to yourself that you can pay your debts, be responsible for your own mistakes, and handle small crisis like this before you are ready to take on a life together with your girlfriend. That is just part of being a mature man. Good Luck. Chin up!

You signed for it, you owe it even if your clueless friend made the calls. If they do sue you, they'll win. You can't just start over except by filing bankruptcy, and that would be a real bad idea for an amount like that, since it will really mess up your life for a number of years.
4 :
Try not to worry too much as the senders of the letters use a lot of intimidation to try to get money. They actually have a very weak position when actually getting money through the court process. It costs them a lot, and usually at the end the people don't have the money to pay the money order. A way to avoid problems with your credit is to open as many current accounts and credit cards now. This means you can re-build credit more easily and have credit available.

First off only having a thousand or so dollars of debt is a godsend...some people would love to trade places with you. But as others said, do not fret over it or plan on going bankrupt. First off call them and explain the situation to them. They usually just want the money so they might be willing to work out a reasonable payment plan over a period of time that would still allow you to move in with your girlfriend. If they do not want to work out something then try your hand at getting a part time job to pay it off. Many fast food restaurants are hiring...use the net amount (minus any travel expenses) to pay this debt off. Also the part time job would help you save faster for moving out. In the mean time, get in touch with this friend of yours and see if he has any money to help with this. If he is being a jerk about it contact his parents...they might have a solution for you.

Why are many of the programs considered unncessary by American repubs, considered great in most other nations?
Why are many of the programs considered unncessary by American repubs, considered great in most other nations?
Considered necessary and even great in many of developed countries. These are the top 10 most livable countries in the world, according to the UN: Norway Australia Iceland Canada Ireland Netherlands Sweden France Switzerland Japan in the order listed, and almost all of them make use of programs that Conservatives consider so-called "entitlements". America, oddly enough, despite having a GDP higher than most other industrialized nations, spends more on building it's arsenal and staging wars abroad, than in providing those same funds to programs like healthcare & education. If America spent half as much money on social programs, as it did it's military and invading the 30 countries it has since 1950, it would have an unparralled healthcare & education system, instead Neo-Cons have found a way to convince the public that the poor deserve to be poor, the rich deserve to be richer, and if you don't like it get the f___ out. Now this would normally be simply a discussion of ideology , except for the fact that it has resulted in an American citizenry that , as a whole, cannot cope academically in the 21st century with most other countries, that is rife with poverty, and teetering off the edge of a cliff from which there is no return. In Norway, all citizens get free education & healthcare from kindergarten to University, the same applies to smaller or lesser degrees with almost all 10 countries, and each of these has a LOWER overall GDP per capita than America, but a higher standard of living, and higher educated & healthier citizenry America is ranked 13th in standard of living (and dropping), and 30th in overall education ( & dropping) For those suggesting why not move to one of those countries. I am not American (thank God) and i would never want to be. I do have friends & relatives who are Americans and i pity them tremendously, i am Candian By the way, Canada was the first country to bounce back from the recession; the U.S. still hasn't recovered.

Have you ever considered selling your horses because of the economy?
Have you ever considered selling your horses because of the economy?
Sometimes I think about selling my horses because of the economy. My family's life would be so much easier without the expense of our, well my, horses. I know we would all be happier with the extra money every month. I'm sure it equals up to $500. But I'm too stubborn, I've done it too long, and what can I say, I'm pretty good at what I do. Idk, it saddens and depresses me because idk how to make it work. I'm working on getting a job at my friends moms restaurant, so I can pay for at least the board myself. What do you think about the economy and horses. How do you make it work? UK people, what's it like over there? I wanna move to Norway or England haha. Well I have two horses. One is my seasoned rodeo horse, the other is my rising rodeo horse, here after summer when the season starts again, he'll be the main one I compete on. Once I retire the seasoned horse I'll sell him or lease him out.

Not seriously. More like "Oh, I really should so we can pay mortgage next month." But I never actually do it. And now, I'm 18, and my horse is all on me. Hello three jobs and toodle oo social life. I had an ad up to half lease him this last year in college because between school and bills and everything, I wasn't going to be able to cover board that month. Thankfully I got a job, but that was cutting it way too close. If I ever were in that situation again, I would sell or lease him. He'd be a hard horse to find a leaser for, so it would probably end up as selling
2 :
Here's a question that might help you decide - if your family can afford them, are you planning to keep them until they die of old age, or would you sell them and get another horse that would fit your riding skill better? ETA: If you were going to sell or lease your experienced horse next year, why not lease him right now? It will bring in some extra income, you will still have control of the horse and the person who is leasing will have the time to see if it is really what he wants.

I definitely know I'm struggling, and so are my parents. I had a pretty easy time making quick and good money, but now in this economy I'm practically begging for jobs. And I'm charging HALF of what I used to. My parents are lucky that I can afford most of my horse expenses. They still have to help with some of the medical stuff, and the occasional farrier. I really wish I made more money so I could pay for ALL of it myself. Buying my horse was definitely the EASIEST part. UGH, why wasn't I born into a rich family? My dad and mom recently got a second job (they're teachers so they have a month of the summer off) and will be working a lot longer hours in order for us to continue our cushioned life. I feel really bad for them, but you do what you gotta do.

Well, for me the obvious answer is no, because I don't have a horse. But I know sure as hell the reason I haven't bought a horse is the economy. If we all STOP voting for evil, satanic people like obama, then we wouldn't have to be suffering this bad.

Sometimes I think about selling my horses because of the economy. My family's life would be so much easier without the expense of our, well my, horses. I know we would all be happier with the extra money every month. I'm sure it equals up to $500. But I'm too stubborn, I've done it too long, and what can I say, I'm pretty good at what I do. Idk, it saddens and depresses me because idk how to make it work. I'm working on getting a job at my friends moms restaurant, so I can pay for at least the board myself. What do you think about the economy and horses. How do you make it work? UK people, what's it like over there? I wanna move to Norway or England haha. Well I have two horses. One is my seasoned rodeo horse, the other is my rising rodeo horse, here after summer when the season starts again, he'll be the main one I compete on. Once I retire the seasoned horse I'll sell him or lease him out.

Not seriously. More like "Oh, I really should so we can pay mortgage next month." But I never actually do it. And now, I'm 18, and my horse is all on me. Hello three jobs and toodle oo social life. I had an ad up to half lease him this last year in college because between school and bills and everything, I wasn't going to be able to cover board that month. Thankfully I got a job, but that was cutting it way too close. If I ever were in that situation again, I would sell or lease him. He'd be a hard horse to find a leaser for, so it would probably end up as selling

Here's a question that might help you decide - if your family can afford them, are you planning to keep them until they die of old age, or would you sell them and get another horse that would fit your riding skill better? ETA: If you were going to sell or lease your experienced horse next year, why not lease him right now? It will bring in some extra income, you will still have control of the horse and the person who is leasing will have the time to see if it is really what he wants.

I definitely know I'm struggling, and so are my parents. I had a pretty easy time making quick and good money, but now in this economy I'm practically begging for jobs. And I'm charging HALF of what I used to. My parents are lucky that I can afford most of my horse expenses. They still have to help with some of the medical stuff, and the occasional farrier. I really wish I made more money so I could pay for ALL of it myself. Buying my horse was definitely the EASIEST part. UGH, why wasn't I born into a rich family? My dad and mom recently got a second job (they're teachers so they have a month of the summer off) and will be working a lot longer hours in order for us to continue our cushioned life. I feel really bad for them, but you do what you gotta do.
