Single Mom vs. NFL Players Association
Like a Texas-sized tornado, the Super Bowl frenzy hit Houston last year.
And many businesses either prospered or suffered. Unfortunately, the already fortunate usually prosper and the unfortunate suffer. Such is the case of a single mom in business, producer of the highly successful BET/NFLPA party. The NFL Players Association-Houston Chapter wrote bad checks amounting to over $31,000 to the producer of the much-publicized BET/NFL Players Super Bowl gala held at the Galleria Pavilion last year.
The event featured athletic greats, and attracted over 8,500 patrons in one evening. According to a witness, "they carried off boxes of cash to be counted." The NFLPA first agreed to a fixed price of $60,000, which was changed at the last minute, and cost the producer penalties of over $6,500. Then the NFLPA persuaded the woman to move forward by promising to "wire money" to her bank account. Instead, the NFLPA deposited checks--worthless checks. When they were dishonored, the woman's banker received a call from NFLPA V.P.
Charles Taylor, Jr., who stated, "Billy Burge will cover the checks" (Mr. Burge is the Chairman of the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority).
Convinced by Taylor's statement, the bank re-submitted the checks for collection. The checks were returned again. By that time, the BET/NFLPA show was over and the money had vanished.
The woman was not aware of the payments being in the form of checks until the gala was over.She has filed a complaint with the District Attorney's office, which said, "it does not fit the Texas Penal Code." She has also filed a civil lawsuit--Cause No. 819789, in the County Civil Court at Law No. One of Harris County, Texas. The NFLPA claims Taylor was not authorized to sponsor the party and is not willing to offer any restitution. Conversely, Taylor does not dispute the money is owed.
Unless a settlement is reached, the civil courts will decide.The feeding frenzy is now in Jacksonville?are they prepared for the same fall-out?.

Are You Really Ready To Ask Someone To Co-sign For You?
It looks like you may have reached a turning point in the road. Whether it's for an auto loan, a personal loan, or department storecredit, you may not be able to qualify by your own merits. This is when the cosigner comes into play. The best place to look for a consigner is within the family, or either among friends. You'll want to trust them just as much as they will want to trust you.
If this individual is backing your loan, they will be privy to the same credit checks as you would be if this were your loan all by itself.
Their creditworthiness is based on income, homeownership, credit history, and job security. If you default on any payments, the consigner will have to pick up the tag. That's why it's good to make sure that you have all of your ducks lined up in a row before you put the consigner's financial credit rating on the line.
Say what you mean and mean what you say!
To the cosigner, you are saying that you plan to honor...

How does Check 21 affect you?
Every year nearly 60,000 airplanes take off and land with an estimated 36 billion paper checks at an annual processing cost of $8 billion. Who pays this $8 billion dollars? The banks and credit unions across the nation, that's who. Why do they go to all this effort and expense? Many state commercial codes stipulated that only a canceled check was proof positive of payment. Since there are nearly 18,000 financial institutions in the United States, most of them have not been able to charge fees to cover this $8 billion cost of letting you have a checking account. This means that all of that money has to come out of other fees, penalties and loan rates.
At least this was the truth until October 21, 2004 when a new federal law took effect trumping states rights to regulate banks within their borders. The Check 21 Act allows a paper preprint of a check to be considered the equivalent of the original check. In English this means a bank in Oregon can copy a deposited check, send the...

Five Checks for Web Pages
There are a few essential checks that you must make beforeuploading your pages.Check the basics - spelling, grammar, terminology. I've seena lot of arguments for and against using only US spelling onweb sites - I think this is a personal choice, but havingmade your decision, be consistent! Terminology - don't usewords or phrases that aren't common around the world. I reada software review recently - sadly, I didn't understand thephrase used to describe the program, so I don't know if thereviewer was recommending it or condemning it!Check your coding. It's easy for little mistakes to creepinto your HTML - especially when your tags are nested, orwhen you copy and paste from another page of your site.There are several free programs available - I use CSE Litefrom http://www.htmlvalidator.com which also has a paidprofessional version.Check your links. Again, it's easy to make a slight mistakein typing a URL, or getting confused between relative andabsolute references, leading to the well...
