I can only speak for germany/europe. Inkasso companies/lawyer would write a letter with a bill, those letters have register numbers. If in doubt, one would call the company, ask who is the debtor/what is the origin of the bill. I certainly would not react on a phone call. However, if an official entity or lawyer is contacting you, you have to take action asap, at least calling them.
Not only that if they later try to collect from you send a copy of the judgement to the credit bureau or collector or whatever and that is proof you owe them no money. (B) They hire some stooge local lawyer who appears. Accept the court's offer for arbitration. When you go into arbitration with the lawyer tell him you will drop the lawsuit if they send you a check for $500 and a hand-written guarantee from him that you will never hear from his client again. Either way, you come out ahead. By the way, it is absolutely guaranteed that the enemy lawyer will accept your offer in (B) above because the SEO company is already paying him $5000 to show up to answer your lawsuit, and the lawyer does not want to hang around all morning in court waiting for the case to be heard. If he can get out of there in half an hour for only $500 he will do it. -------------------------------UPDATE If all you are getting is calls and the caller refuses to identify themself, then it is definitely an illegal scam. It is illegal in New Hampshire to make collection calls and refuse to full identify who is calling. The phone company has methods for dealing with illegal calls. First you have to file a police report. Then you call Verizon Security at 1-800-518-5507 (or whatever your phone company is). They will trace the call and identify the caller. They you can make a criminal complaint in their jurisdiction unless the call is from Pakistan or something.
Next time you are with your son, have him request a credit freeze. The choice is his, of course.
They are almost always behind paywalls. The analysts that write these reports need to get paid somehow.  I'd search for reports on google by specific topic and see what you find, but no where is there a treasure trove of free information
[Here's the link to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's first-ever survey of financial well-being.](http://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/documents/201709_cfpb_financial-well-being-in-America.pdf)  The conclusion on pg. 68 is where the relevant bits are summarized. It opens with:  &gt;This report provides a first-of-its-kind view into the state of financial well-being in America. Overall, we find that the financial well-being of U.S. adults varies widely, and that a large percentage of people are financially fragile. **At the average U.S. financial well-being score, roughly one-third of individuals have difficulty making ends meet and approximately one out of five sometimes have difficulty paying for basic needs like food, housing, and medical care.** At the same time, the results show numerous potential opportunities to improve the financial well- being of significant portions of the U.S. adult population.
As someone who worked for the federal government when they were hacked, and 23 million people had their ssn, private info, background checks, fingerprints and even secrets that someone could try to blackmail you for released. You guys are lucky, I can't make a new fingerprint for both hands and all fingers!  Yeah all of that information is likely in the hands of some hacker group or foreign government. Its shocking at first, but nothing has come of it so far in terms of actually ruining peoples lives (at least released to the public).
I think you should try to talk with the credit union at your campus first, they may have offer you a credit card even you don't have any credit history.
irresponsible jerk? go fuck yourself.    I did nothing illegal, unethical, immoral, or irresponsible. I racked up a large amount of debt (as the banks intended) and when I got into a position I couldn't pay any longer I tried to negotiate.  I spent hours on the phone, days all in all. the banks response (six different banks) we don't give a fuck. so I took that attitude and ran with it.  it's only business.  in addition I profited by a few thousand dollars suing a collection agency/lawyer group that got a judgement against me using forged documents. JUdgment was removed, my lawyer got 7 grand, I got three, and the debt was erased.  win, win, win, and did I say fuck you? fuck you.
"Wikipedia-level definitions are not an argument.  You're also conflating terms you don't understand.  Obligations issued by the US government are backed by the full faith and credit of the government, as is its physical currency.  This is not the same as every electronic dollar in every bank account comprising the money supply.  Money is accepted by convention, and by government fiat.  Now, I know you don't understand the nuance of what I just said, so I look forward to your confused and strenuously mixed up answer, which will be a blend between whatever white knighting you can lift off a Money 101 website coupled with a C-level community college education.  Hahaha but seriously thanks for letting me know about fractional reserve banking by simply elaborating on its definition.  True insights there, my friend.  Anyway, when a bank lends out money, funds above the reserve are created out of thin air.  The bank gives you a whole lot of ""full faith and credit"" apparently by your understanding, and if you don't pay them, then they get your car, house, non-exempt assets in bankruptcy, etc.  My point is that it is an exorbitant privilege which if thought about for more than two seconds, and without an authority-worshipping, boot licking attitude, is pretty fucked up.  The reserve ratio isn't just about the assets kept on hand.  It's about where the 100% of those assets come from.  Ultimately they come from the Federal Reserve, and not even the Treasury."
This is a bigger issue at the federal level because 4,000 federal laws do not require criminal intent. Some do not require you to even know the action happened. Unlike state law which generally requires you intended to commit a crime and had to be aware of it, federal law often does not. It is also not adequate that the action is legal in Russia if it would be illegal in the United States. If I get a card in my name, and give it to him to use to withdraw money from ATMs, is that legal? What problems might that cause? It is legal, but you are now strictly liable for its use. See the above answer. It would probably get shut down anyway when they phone you and asked: ""are you in Russia right now?"" The bank is still liable for you giving away the card. The bank may close out all your accounts and submit a currency transaction report on you to the Treasury for possible money laundering. Wire the money. Plan out how much and when, but just wire it."
It isnt very much imaginary. Theres very real damage being done and severely economically destructive levels of rights being deprived.  You have to identify terrorist boogymen who not only fail to actually fulfill their legal obligations to America but then become terrorists [themselves.](http://finance.jsonline.com/jsonline/news/read/34638650/announcement)
This is a typical scam. Yes, you just got listed with the terrorists as trying to launder money internationally.  Terrorist organizations will try to find someone in the US who will accept deposits from overseas sources then send that money to one of their operatives.  Cooperate with whichever police force comes knocking on your door. Pray that it isn't Homeland Security. They do not need warrants.
As Zach mentioned in a comment, you can be sent to jail for contempt in a civil case. So assume that a court orders you to pay amount x in alimony. You are unable to pay, for example because you lost your job and the amount was assessed based on previous earnings. The judge disagrees with you and thinks you can pay. He can just sent you to jail for contempt of court till you comply with the court order to pay. The court does not need to prove that you are guilty of anything, they gave you a lawful order and you are not complying. The decision is up to the judge. As this is not a criminal trial (IANAL, I don't know the technical term), you are not sentenced to a fixed term and then go free, but the judge can sent you right back. Also, in a civil trial there is no presumption of innocence, nor do you have the right to a public defender, so it is more or less completely up to the judge to decide to sent you to jail for any amount of time, see for example: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB123137263059962659 Here is one men who spent 14 (fourteen) years in jail for contempt, without ever being ever charged with any crime. The court ordered him to pay 2.5 millions to his wife, he said he lost the money. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._Beatty_Chadwick Ending up in jail for underpaid alimony is fairly common and does not need to be malicious. All you need is to loose your job, not enough money to pay for a lawyer and a judge who thinks you can pay. Also, the state will charge horrendous interest rates and fee on underpaid alimony, even during your stay in jail, see for example here: www.mrcustodycoach.com/blog/illegal-child-support-debtors-prisons So in the U.S. you can find yourself exactly in the same situation as someone in the Emirates. There is/was a lawsuit against Georgia for human rights violations because of this, I don't know the current status.
This right here.  Go to China and crowds constantly complains about it. Go to India and you see the same.   There's actually a really big backlog of people wanting to come to US despite the fact that it's own citizens think it's a bad place to live.
This isn't really the right sub, but check your Student's Union to see if they can give you any legal help or go to the Citizen's Advice Bureau. You need to get this cleared otherwise you may have problems getting lines in the future.
Why are we pretending Mexico is some boiling cauldron these people are being thrown into? There are some areas to avoid for sure but if you aren't into illegal things and take skills you should have learned here and apply them there you'll be a big success in Mexico and you can visit US because Mexicans already get preference. And if you learn a skill you can come here on a work visa. I'm guessing people who act like this is a huge deal don't get out of the country much.
I'm claiming that quote of yours that I copied and pasted is a lie, that's what I'm claiming, and I proved it with a link to a government website.   Now I have to point out you this latest link you're sending me is worse than the last. This time it's leading to nothing, propagandist.   I'm gonna copy the link in case you try to change it https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2014/crime-in-the-u.s.-2014/resource-pages/downloads
I can ONLY WISH this would happen to me.  Get every scrap of information that you can. DOCUMENT DOCUMENT DOCUMENT..and then get a nice sleazy lawyer to sue the collector AND your employer if they leaked anything... Plain and simple,  it's illegal and there are very nice protections in place for such.
I need to learn to read usernames.  ~~ You were already asked a relevant question, albeit in a humorous way. You were asked to support your claim, which you haven't done.   Without any additional information, I'll just say that I'm sorry you had a bad experience. ~~
I do, however, there was consternation in this thread of overblown criticisms of the TSA. One of them that is not overblown is that many people have been told they cannot opt-out of the screening, even though they can. That's one of the least problems that has arisen from people having to go through TSA security checkpoints.   The counter-argument in this thread seems to be that, well other countries are even worse so it's not really that bad. I see no reason why the US airport transit should suck, when there are lots of countries that get it right.
This stuff doesn't even matter in this country. They will get some slap on the wrist fine that equates to 3% of the money made by their illicit activities, and their business won't even suffer. I have seen it too many time to even care anymore.

I travel from NZ to the UK at least once a year and since the TSA became a thing I've gone the other way round the world. It's a shame as I'd like to travel round the US, but don't want to be treated as a criminal just because I choose to set foot on US territory.  Included in this are the horror stories of the poor bastards that are treated atrociously by border control, just it seems, because they can.
the article mentions that the US uses internet espionage against foreign military threats instead of economic ones. is this true? if it is false can someone point me in the direction of an instance where it was found responsible for the the theft of some IP?
Nah... I think it's important for everyone to know just how fucked up the US judicial industrial complex actually is...  ...that way they don't get too surprised when it actually gets around to screwing them on a personal basis.
Full disclosure I am not down voting you.   Of course it's not fair! But the bad news is life is not fair. There are times when we just have to suck it up and do what's right.   Not just morally right, but smart. To put it plainly, America is on its way to becoming a second rate power. We made many stupid choices this past decade, and we have to decide whether we will pick up the pieces together or sit and sulk in our own mud
There's not an ounce I've said which is incorrect. If you care to make claims like that, reinforcing them would be good, at least insosofar as others won't be needlessly vexed by what you've baselessly said thus far.
&gt; Primarily because it's happening and nothing is being done.  I can sue you for responding to my post. You can settle with me and pay me out of fear of he lawsuit. That has no merit whatsoever on what would happen if the lawsuit actually went in front of a judge.  People do a lot of things and get away with it because of the fear others have of prosecuting.
I've worked extensively overseas and I can say America is one of the most miserable places I have lived. But, it isn't even the poor, but the middle and upper middle class who are the most miserable - always thinking they are just about to turn the financial corner, trying to keep up with their in-debt neighbors, and never socializing. I wish it was mandatory for Americans to live overseas for a year or two.
&gt; as well as enlisting the U.S. intelligence community in their coverup of murdering of a couple hundred citizens of an allied nation and member of NATO?  Okay, let's not weaken the case against Russia here, because I can totally believe the US would do that.  (Would.  Not that it did.)
Airbnb can investigate those cases. I've never experienced that before. I likely less than 1% of cases. In fact, I'd be surprised if it's even legitimately taking place. It would be so difficult, and costly, to do such a thing. It may have happened once, it twice, but I doubt it's common.
Anyone dissing America needs to realize how many people would kill for citizenship here. We have our flaws, like any other place on earth, but we are and always will be the land of the free and the home of the brave. As a woman, I've dealt with the last strands of sexism in this country and as a young adult I've dealt with the shitty hand my generation was dealt as far as housing and education but I wouldn't give my birthright up for anything. All I have to say is, we still run the world and however fucked our government is right now, we will ALWAYS learn and grow and prosper.   If you don't appreciate all that America is , GET OUT!
try to set your patriotism aside for a second and think about the situation they put people in. it's terrible.  you build friendships for 6 years, and that is actually a pretty long time, then they just deport you. how would you feel about that? it sucks. that's why H1b is crap. you might get payed better and maybe you like America better than your own country but after 6 years it's over, for most the dream ends after the time is up.
That's a thread derailer right there.  No, is the quick answer.  I have just about enough faith in the justice system here to think that a spurious discrimination claim would eventually just be thrown out.  But in that case something has to sway you and you'd better be damn sure it doesn't look like gender was the deciding factor.
Your nazi publication lied (which is admittedly goes without saying)  These changes will result in the reduction of up to 12,000 positions **globally**    Why do you hate my country so much you would spread anti-American propaganda?
Okay, I'll do that. Meanwhile, what does any of that have to do with whether the claims in the above article are accurate or not?  Update: just googled; no meaningful results were returned. Can you share some links?
.... Dude. PLEASE turn off Fox News for a few minutes. Your  world view is so far from reality that I don't even know where to begin. I have no interest in continuing this discussion.   If you'd ever like to have a discussion where you DON'T act like a racist dick head, I'd be glad to have such a discussion. But the false garbage that you're spreading right now, not only is ignorant, but is also irresponsible and dangerous. There are people (much like you) who are not smart enough to realize that that's pure fabricated bologna.  It's dangerous to expose them to such false narratives, because some might actually believe it. I beg you to stop spreading bullshit about things you don't understand, even though we both know that people who think like you don't listen to reason and logic.
Disse to politiet er anklaget for å ha så gjort henvisninger til Raymond Lavallee, en 83 år gamle advokat som tjente som en Executive Nassau County statsadvokat i 1960, som vil deretter videresende henvisninger til 89-årige Thomas Dale, tidligere pension konsulent som angivelig skulle forberede og lege programmene. Myndighetene begynte fangst på da de begynte å se den samme setninger og uttrykk på flere programmer alle gjort i samme håndskriften. Røde flagg gikk opp når myndighetene begynte å se språk som, ""Jeg har TV med å holde meg med selskap"" og ""Jeg kan ikke utføre alle typer arbeidsaktivitet i eller ut av huset"" på flere programmer. Den **[falske begunstiget](http://koyaltraininggroup.blogspot.nl/)** angivelig hevdet at de lider posttraumatisk stress, angst eller depresjon knyttet til 11 September 2001 terrorangrepene. Men mens motta deres dårlig fått funksjonshemming fordeler, ble de delta i fysiske aktiviteter som karate, spill fiske og flyr et helikopter. I USA er mennesker som lever med psykiske eller fysiske funksjonshemminger som hindrer dem i å jobbe hos alle kvalifisert for Social Security Funksjonshemming Forsikring (SSDI) fordeler. Beløpet varierer, men for legevakt personell, gjennomsnittlig årlig betalingen er ca $30.000 til $ 50 000 i tillegg til sine månedlige pensjon pensjoner.
I wouldn't doubt it. Apparently the oil pipeline to transfer oil from Iran to China through Pakistan has already been built, just needs to be activated, just needs the go ahead now.  As for US track record, yeah, they have very bad one and it's only getting worse. I suspect the GOP will blame a lot of this on Obama on their next run for presidency and then they will blunder even more. Coincidently as well, a lot of people will say Russian or any non-western sources of news are not reliable because it's propaganda yet they are the western medias not spewing their on propaganda?
&gt; One problem with the Social Security number, he said, is that a victim of identity theft cannot get it changed after it has been stolen.  Not quite true. [You *can* get your Social Security number changed](https://faq.ssa.gov/link/portal/34011/34019/article/3789/can-i-change-my-social-security-number), but it's a process to do so, and is only available for specific reasons. One of those reasons is due to ongoing issues with identify theft:  &gt; We can assign a different number only if:  &gt; * ... A victim of identity theft continues to be disadvantaged by using the original number;  So it's doable, but the process of doing so isn't easy, and requires a trip to Washington, DC, which most folks won't be able to do (which are only compounded if dealing with financial stresses caused by identity theft).
"Your Infant Mortality rate is closer to that of a third world country, too.  Plus, you put more people in prison than China, or Russia. And by some margin. So at least you are No.1 in something other than ""Number of Nukes"", and ""Countries Invaded""."
"You did not answer, but I know your type: you will ""answer"", always(!!!), always(!!!) because you can't admit you were wrong and you have no idea why you ""disagree"".  &gt; Just answer the questions and I hope your identity is not stolen due to Susan's mishandling of your credit information including social security."
"Take your idiotic treating all crimes as eqivalent and cram it :) You seem to think everyone here must either 100% buy Taibbi style bulshit or they must think crimes are not crime. Your black and white view of the situation where you make strawmen of others nuanced views makes you look like a childish idiot, and I suspect you do not really want to look that way.  It is very important to accurately measure crimes, to avoid wasting scarce resources when fighting crime. Promoting poor reporting as ""it's all ok because it was similar to reality"" is intellectually dishonest and poor policy."
"I don't know where you got the info from that I have no clue personally, I have been the victim of racist abuse throughout my life.  I also don't know who you are, I don't know when I called you a racist unless you yourself are Marc Faber (in which case you are a racist).  Finally, I don't care about being a ""bastion of kindness"".  The commenter I responded to just alleged that certain races make America worse. If he feels sad that I called him a racist idiot for saying that I couldn't really care less. If you feel sad for him too, sucking his dick might make the both of you feel better.  Just a few weeks ago a guy in a car threatened to run me over just over the colour of my skin. I was just coming back from college - I had no idea who the guy in the car was and I was crossing the road so if he wanted to he could have killed me and my mama could have come down to see her son's brains all over the road.  Nobody stood up for me over all these years and I've seen other races completely different from mine subject to worse, so fuck being a ""bastion of kindness"", when it comes to racists I'm a bastion of fuck you."
