Office for nonpayment by an MTSO.  I live in a different state.  The amount is also less than $100.  Thanks.

What happened to my post below...

I posted about my home-based hospital job and there were replies earlier today, now they've all been deleted.  How in the world did THAT cause a thread to go down in flames?


What happened to my post? :(
I posted yesterday about help quitting smoking.  I can't imagine how something like that would have gotten nasty.  Was it deleted?  I didn't even get to see any responses and was really looking for help.
I usually don't post here, but I happened

to spot this conversation and thought I'd chime in.  I, too, sometimes wonder how a particular MT gets through the day if they don't know the basics, but I can understand their pain.  It brings me back over 20 years when I first started.  I actually cried when I first worked in a hospital.  I thought I'd never get it?  It's hard in the beginning, and I laugh now when I look back at what I DIDN'T KNOW.  You have to start somewhere, and this help board should be considered just that - HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT.


What happened to the post re: RadGuy?
I miss him!!
Probably by school district.

Happened to me too -- won't let me post, even after I entered the address. I am clueless. :( n

Sorry - do not know what happened to my above post. I press 2 for decrease, 3 for increase. nm

I was not answering MT school post but the one that happened to correct an error
they made on a post with this quote "that is verbatim. QAs are only human too." So you can mind your own business and STFU. Answer your own posts if you can't read the ENTIRE THREAD and understand what post my post is RELEVANT too. You are an arrogant QA person BTW who sits in judgement of posters and what is relevant or not. Just MIND YOUR BUSINESS.
I go through this every year when the school district starts hiring.

And I have cabin fever really, really bad from being home with the kids almost 24/7.  Plus, I don't get much adult interaction in the summer because all of my friends are busy with their own families, vacations, work, etc.  We don't get together as often as during the school year.


The work part of it is OK.  I have good accounts, but it can be boring or frustrating with interruptions.  Like the other poster, I have to play music in the background and buckle down to be productive.  However, there is something to be said for the flexibility that I have in working at home.  I'm here for the kids.  I can take a break whenever I want to.  I don't have to get dressed up or drive anywhere.  No office politics.  No supervisor screaming at me.  No out-of-town travel.  I have my own office now.  I have total control over the thermostat.  I can eat whatever I want to whenever I want to.  I'm saving money by not using daycare.  I make as much or more working part-time than if I worked fulltime, paid daycare, and had to drive to and from a job.  Best of all, I have time during the day to exercise, clean the house, or do my hobbies.  I'm not so exhausted by the end of the day that I just slap food on the table and veg out in front of the TV.  I don't watch TV at all any more!  For me, the benefits are still good enough to keep doing this for at least a few more years.  I can always go back into the workforce when the kids are older.


Get an attorney now
Find an attorney that will take your case - then let them write the letter. Just talk to a couple who handle medical malpractice -these are severe medication errors.
attorney general
good idea.  I have contacted an attorney already (I am a corp by myself so I have access to an attorney) and he states that legally there is nothing right now that I can do. I can possibly sue them later down the road, but they have not done anything illegal. He suggested to try and "sugar" them into paying me.  I will contact the attorney general's office. The company and I are in the same state, so that helps tremendously.
Get an attorney and have them draw one up for you. sm
It costs about $200 and well worth it!
You can usually call an attorney and
But, you do have a receipt and the title. Let the person go ahead and make a fool of himself. You owe him nothing, don't let him bully you.

PS - Am very sorry for your loss.
power of attorney
by QA mgr says im supposed to capitalize but i dont agree (so i dont, hehe)
He was my divorce attorney

Call an attorney, but ....sm
In the state of NC a few years back, one person could not force the other to sell in this situation. I went through something similar with my siblings. I ended up buying their portions.

But, no, at that time and again in my state, you cannot be forced.
You get an attorney to type it up...sm

My dad's attorney typed it up for me and I had it notarized and then MAKE TONS OF COPIES because you have to prove you are able to make decisions for your Mom.  I had this power of attorney for 10 years, my dad dying last January. 


I suppose you could get some form.....even probably at Office Depot...I got a living will there, actually a package of them.  It's just more complete to have an attorney do this 2-page paper for you...and not terribly expensive either.


Best of luck to you and your Mom. 


Consult an attorney....
He'll tell you everything you need to know to operate a business, and it will be an hour's worth of money well spent......
You need a good attorney NOW!! My
friend's sister died at the age of 51 because a doctor prescribed birth control pills for the mood swings of menopause without first checking her triglycerides or doing any blood work. Her triglycerides were very elevated, and the addition of the medication caused her pancreas to shut down and she died. There is a big lawsuit on this one, too.
I would get an attorney to fire off a ...

letter.  I have had to do that several times in the past (not MT related), and it is amazing how quickly things are resolved.  It has only cost me $35 to explain the situation to the attorney and have a short letter sent.  I think it would be well worth it in your case...$35 vs. $1300.


Also, be sure to send the letter certified, return receipt requested.  Even though that is only to obtain proof of delivery, there seems to be something "official" about it...and that can't hurt. 


If you hire an attorney (sm)
you an also request reimbursement for your expenses, court costs and attorney fees. I would mention this in my letter to the MTSO also. If this MTSO does this to you I guarantee you are not the only person they are doing it to.

Good luck
I think you should consult an attorney

who specializes in modifications and have them do a forensic audit of your loan.  Are you in one of those toxic arms?   WFB might be forced to modify your loan if attorney discovers any discrepancies.   If you don't want to consult an attorney I would suggest calling the lender and asking to speak to someone in the loss mitigation department.  The regular Joes in customer service aren't qualified to help you.  Be prepared to reference paystub/bill information and spend awhile on the phone.  I wish you well.


Capitalize Power or Attorney or not?

Hmm. Every doc, nurse, attorney, accountant
I know is making WAY good money and none are working at McD's!!! LOL


Husband is a corporate attorney
He makes more than I do - obviously.


We must follow our attorney's advice. (NM)

Still, I say find a good attorney way outside your

Prosecuting attorney's office.

I would call a tax attorney/accountant in

My husband is an attorney and suggested the same thing to me once.
http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos152.htm

It definitely sounds more promising than MT but it does also sound like you'd be back to Square One with training/schooling.

It may be well worth it.

Best of luck whatever you decide!
Cool! My DS has a BS in criminal justice and my DH is an attorney!
.
contact the attorney general for their state
and never let them get away with that.

this business gets worse every day. it is really a shame, but soon it will be even worse! it gets worse seriously, every single day. Years ago this was decent and every single year I face more BS and hear more BS. We need a frigging revolution. FAce it...! India cannot make it w/o our editing skills. They stink at this typing. We need to unite but probably wouldn't get the cooperation.

How do you get a free attorney if you are solvent and working? SM
Even if you have stuff like a nice car, a nice home, charge cards that you pay for every month, you still may not have money for a lawyer. Never mind about irresponsibility living too close to the edge. A lot of us do that.
I agree, she should discuss it with her attorney but personally,
I would wait until the final papers are signed before I bought another house.

Does anyone about durable power of attorney in the State of Florida?
I have my elderly mother in the hospital now and the question has come up about being a legal medical power of attorney. Do I need to go to an attorney for this or is there a place where I can download a free form and then have it signed by her and notarized. When my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, we basically had a family conference with the physicians involved and social services and the decision was made conjointly for hospice and comfort measures only. He had not left any advanced directives, living will, or medical power of attorney, so I wonder about all of this. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
You need to consult a bankruptcy attorney on that one. Good luck...

I'd still hire an attorney, especially if the blame game is involved.
If either or both parties are getting nasty, it's best to go by the book and make sure all your T's are crossed and all your I's are dotted. Can't do it on your own if there is any anymosity involved.
Hire an attorney & have the atty write a letter

that if you do not receive pay by (the date), you will file a lien on her business and her house, and may take her to Judge Judy    I guarantee you will get your money faster than going to small claims court, spending less time going to court, etc.


If an attorney knew his client had cancer, would he keep his mouth shut? SM......
You are a professional. Regardless of the patient's name, you are to keep everything confidential.  The only reason I would say for you to give it to someone else is if you can't keep your mouth shut, but having already heard the name, the damage is already done.  Don't make a big deal out of it.  The first thing you should have learned in MT training was EVERYTHING IS CONFIDENTIAL, PERIOD, so what's the big deal?
She needs to call her State Attorney General's office and the police.
She has been scammed. She'll be lucky if they don't continue drawing off her account or do identity theft since she gave out her private information.
I had a local weight loss clinic not pay and finally had to get an attorney. sm
Had to pay the attorney so lost some.  By that time, I was so angry, it had become a matter of principle and was determined to make them pay.
My attorney tells me "A contract is only as good as the two people who sign it." nm
