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. VOTE REPUBLICAN IN NOVEMBER AND 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.

Yeah :(. I almost sold my $20,000 show horse a few months ago cause my mom was having trouble taking care of two horses and i couldn't get a job( im only 14). But its all good now :D. I would have DIED if i would have had to sell my 2 horses :(. *EDIT* - why do people keep giving me thumbs down for NO reason??????

Should i hate my mom for this?
Should i hate my mom for this?
Hey, I'm a 16-year old boy from Norway, living in Oslo. Here's the "rules" my mom gives me: [1] Always 1 hour (or more) physical activity EVERY day. [2] I have to wash all the floors in our 3-stories tall house twice a week, plus drying dust (or whatever it's called) [3] I have to make dinner at least twice a week. I have friends and all, but mostly I play on my laptop (We actually do have wireless, but she doesn't know. She thinks I'm playing an offline game. BUT don't be distracted by it, what she thinks is most important for considering who's "side" you're on..) For the 1st rule, I'd like to add that walking does not count. If I've been to school and have had no gymnastics, I have to run around a water near our house for an hour. Rain/snow/even ice? She doesn't care. I can't fake it, cause I have to take pictures with my phone, and bla bla. Just not possible faking. I've tried… For the 2nd rule: If there is a SINGLE little piece of anything at all on the floor when I've washed, she will get furious. She is never happy, even if I've done it perfectly. Same with the 3rd rule, if I fail in any way while making the dinner, she gets furious. And she's never happy. And here are the punishments i get / have gotten for being "disobeying" [1] I do not have access internet (well, she doesn't give me access and thats the point!), from now on and for the next 4 years. Hardly anything I do can change this, and if it changes, it's maybe by a day or two (she counts) [2] If I'm not in physical activity 1 hour a day she takes my laptop to work for 2 days. I bought it fo my own money (which was NOT from her) for about 2.2000 euros. [3] Not really a punishment, but she's angry with me almost all the time. And here's one of the things that piss me off the most: I have a brother at the age of 14. He does not have ANY demands at ALL. He does not do a single thing in the house (I have to wash his room). He once threatened me with a real knife. He held it half an inch from my throat. Ever since, it's been cold between us. I'm not very strong, and he is (considering his age). But we've fought some times since the knife episode and just because I'm older i guess i have a little "technical advantage". He starts it every time (yeah, like you haven't heard that one before, but you'll just have to believe me). In the worst episode after the knife, he needed 3 stiches in the back of his head. That time it started with me taking the remote and he instantly punching me in the face, breaking my glasses. Well, he asked for it. He's the one with the bad temper, so don't go on about any "rage management" for me :) Mom knows of the knife episode, and still even though my bro does nothing in the house and he has no demands (he gets the internet etc) she's always happy and frieldy to him. I know jealousy is bad, but come ON!? I just finished the 3rd of 3 years in… dunno what it is in english, but we have 7 years of "children school" and then 3 years of "youth school" (whereI i just finished) and then 2-3-5 new years, depending on what you want to become. Overall grades I'm the 2nd best in all the school with an average of 5.35 (scales are from 1-6). She doesn't care. The school has about 500 ppl. Well, I tried making it short… If you really bothered reading through all this, thanks alot. But if you're gonna say that I'm a spoiled brat: Compared to other Norwegian teenagers, I'm given more demands, WAY less rewards, and WAYY more punishment. And I also probably forgot something, but this'll do.

Do you have the equivalent of social services in Norway? Even if you do, you should be telling this to real people in real life. As many as you can. Hopefully, adults. The cleaning and punishments, while not fair, will make you stronger and more disciplined. But the knife? Na, draw the line there. Someone needs to know. Now.

First of all, moms can be that cruel(I would know im 15) They always seem to have an excuse but to us its nothing. I'm sorry that you mom is babying your brother that good. I feel that way with my two brothers. Mom makes me do things around the house(literally for nothing) Brothers do a little and get a lot of credit Maybe shes just trying to put structure into your life Hang on, maybe things will get better Don't hate hate her, its never good to hate just talk to her about this, let her know how your really feeling. Hope this works(:

I think you need to talk to someone about the situation, an older family member or a school counselor. What she's doing isn't really fair and quite emotionally damaging. She might have a reason for treating you this way that needs sorting. Maybe she had a bad time when she was pregnant with you and you remind her of that time. I'm not saying this is acceptable for her behaviour just that there might be a reason for her behaviour. What she is doing is mostly unfair because your brother does not have to do the same, if you were both doing these chores then it would be perfectly acceptable to ask you to help around the house. However, the running thing is a bit weird as if it was that she wanted you to keep fit and healthy then surely she'd want your brother to do it too and she doesn't care about your grades... soooo yeah weird. I would just refuse to do it. let her take your lap top and pretend like you don't care or hide it if you can. You need to stand up to her! As for your brother, brothers fight but putting a knife up to your throat is unacceptable next time he does that call the police. Maybe that will teach him a lesson. Just keep doing as well as your doing at school and just think one day, not so far away, you'll have a good job and will be able to move out. Your mum will no longer have control over you and your brother will probably be in prison! Look to the future :) Edited to add: Your own feelings will determine whether you hate your mum or not. I can't tell you how to feel but I wouldn't be surprised if you said you did hate her.

Anyone else think the Twilight movie was better than the book?
Anyone else think the Twilight movie was better than the book?
I’m sorry if this is a bit long, but when it comes to Twilight I have a lot of opinions. You can just answer the question if you don’t bother to read my rant. I got the book for Christmas and read the three first chapters that very day. I quickly decided that the book was poorly written crap and put it away. Then partly because my friend asked/forced me to go with her to the Twilight movie, which premiered today in Norway, and partly because I felt guilty about not reading it since it was a gift, I decided to finish the book. At one point I had to ask here on yahoo answers if it would get better, but I either got told to go to hell by obsessive Twilight fans for insulting their precious book or told to burn it by fellow Twilight haters. I finished it though. GO ME! But then I watched the movie today and I was pleasantly surprised. First of all, I actually liked Edward, which I thought was impossible. Robert Pattison (that’s his name right?) is more odd looking than good looking to me, so the perfect image (that Meyer was desperately trying to make him which I thought was idiotic, shallow and pathetic) wasn’t there. I also liked the way he talked. And even more surprising, that stupid and pointless baseball match was actually really cool! The director must be awesome to pull that off. Of course, there were things I didn’t like. The make-up was a little over the top pale to the point where it looked stupid. The villains were more comical than scary. Kirsten Stewart did not make me like Bella, but my hatred for her was so strong, I think that was impossible. The fighting scene was cool, therefore there should have been more of that and less of the cheesy romance. The rest was Meyer’s fault for being a crappy writer. (Like how the villains suddenly wanted Bella and how Bella and Edward falls in love too quickly without showing any kind of chemistry whatsoever). So do you agree? Do you disagree? Got something else about it that you’d like to say? Was I the only one who didn’t know that Jacob was a Native American/Indian before seeing it in the movie? Because I was like, what? When was that mentioned? Was it during the beach scene, because I kind of only skimmed that part…? And wow, that was long… I’m actually planning on watching the movie again though, since I’ll be watching it with a more positive attitude. I’m never wasting (my brother’s) money on another Stephenie Meyer book though.

My husband wants to divorce me because of economical problems and because I have had problems with his mum!?
My husband wants to divorce me because of economical problems and because I have had problems with his mum!?
I was a 22 years old girl living in Iran with very good money that I made and also my dad gave when I married a 23 years old Norwegian guy without a job who was studying. We had so many difficulties to marry but finally we made it. When I moved to Norway he had already given up on studying and he had 50 000 studying loan that he has to pay even now!! He did not even work 3 years ago and he was living poorly in a very small room in a very small town. I spent many days without eating anything yet I walked to school everyday in cold snow without warm clothes and... but I loved him and stayed with him. We moved to a bigger room which had absolutely nothing in it! No refrigiator, oven, nothing. We got no help from his mother who did not even wash our clothes. She did not even help us with 50-60 dollar and that caused arguments between us too. Then with my encouragement he got a parttime job which only helped us to pay our important expenses yet we did not have money for food! I applied for 600 jobs and did not get!! He tried to get 3-4 creditcards to be able to pay for expenses! 1 year after that we moved to Oslo for better opportunities and we had EXTREMELY difficult time for 2 months and I had to sleep on empty floor until he got a fulltime job and slowly we bought things without anyones help. I got a fulltime job after a year which was around 70% of his income. So I paid around 30-40% of my income for our sharing expenses. But he is never satisfied and he claims that I must pay for creditcard bills that he has spent on me 3 years ago. He also says that he does not have any money in his account after he pays for his studying loan that he has got 6 years ago before he knew me, even if now he has fulltime job with good payment! He always complains if I buy any dress, make up and such things for me. After finansproblems I lost my fulltime job and got 40% job which isnt enough for my own expenses yet I still give him 20% of our expenses.He claims that I must give more to him and another prob is that he wants to rent 10 000 dollar to his mother who has not helped me even 50 dollar when I was dying hungry! He says that his mother needs this money badly and will give back the money! I think we have worse economic than his mum!! We just argue all the time. Help me.

first, if he is so broke, how would he give 10,000 to his mother? that part i don't understand. also, as his wife, it is your job to put in 50% for your expenses. but, you should not have to give it directly to him. you should pay the bills yourself. to make sure that your money is going where it is supposed to be going. you should pay the credit card bills on time every month or both of your guys' credit will be very very bad. also, it is not or should it have ever been his mom's responsibility to wash your clothes. your old enough to be married, your old enough to do your won laundry. and as for her giving you money, if she is needing to borrow from you, then chances are, she just didn't have it to give. but by the sounds of it, neither do you. so the loan is a bad idea. unless you can afford it, and get something in writing. good luck.

you're doing all this just becasue he is Norweigan you feel you have to buy his love, he doesn't love you the same, it's plain to see.

cause he married you because he needs a female body to bear his children; and be obedient to his mother; now once there is a inbalance in his equation ; he first gets rid of you cause he wasnt emotionally attached to you when he married you; it was more like a purchase! sorry but please respect your self and leave; it might seem that you cant because you never know another way of living; but believe me there is

When you say Norwegian, you don't mean ethnically, right? Is there no love? Why is it a problem him divorcing you if there is no love? You should be able to stay in Norway if you have been married for three years, if I'm not mistaken. Find someone who loves you instead? May be the blessing you need, this.

You are wasting your time. What's the use in loving someone who does not love you back? He's just using you. Don't loan the no-good-for-nothing-bum's mom any money. Tell her to get her own damned job.

where did you find this guy??? All I can say right now is RUN BABY RUN!!!! Life is too short to bother with a drama king.

You are not his wife, you are his financial partner and one that he feels is inadequate. Get out of the marriage and find a real man who can provide for his family and give the love you deserve.

This is way too confusing to understand. He has no money but yet he gives a lot to his mom. He wants you to give a lot of your money to him for bills he created. All kinds of weird stuff is happening here. So many couples argue over money. It is not worth breaking up over even tho I would think so at first because he seems very selfish with money that isn't his. But yet, usually couples put their money together and decide what to pay and how much to pay on everything. It should be a joint effort. Combine all of your incomes and split all of the bills equally. Young people don't think that way. They think that it's individual money and individual bills. Do you want to live like that and argue forever? Then if you don't do as I suggest. Love each other and help each other with bills and everything else. You are as ONE now and that's the way it should be with the two of you. Teach him this and you will both be a lot happier.

First of all, let me ask you what exactly it is that you are getting out of this relationship. Sounds to me like you have gotten nothing but hardship from day one. Why would you want to stay in this type of situation anyway. Why wouldn't you want to get away from him and his mother and take care of just yourself? You could do so much better on your own at least you wouldn't have him dragging you down. Think about it. What good is he to you anyway? Sounds to me like he will let you work hard every day and take care of him but I don't think he would do the same for you. Red
I was a 22 years old girl living in Iran with very good money that I made and also my dad gave when I married a 23 years old Norwegian guy without a job who was studying. We had so many difficulties to marry but finally we made it. When I moved to Norway he had already given up on studying and he had 50 000 studying loan that he has to pay even now!! He did not even work 3 years ago and he was living poorly in a very small room in a very small town. I spent many days without eating anything yet I walked to school everyday in cold snow without warm clothes and... but I loved him and stayed with him. We moved to a bigger room which had absolutely nothing in it! No refrigiator, oven, nothing. We got no help from his mother who did not even wash our clothes. She did not even help us with 50-60 dollar and that caused arguments between us too. Then with my encouragement he got a parttime job which only helped us to pay our important expenses yet we did not have money for food! I applied for 600 jobs and did not get!!
