Unfortunately I need to take out a private loan for this fall. The only two I've been able to get approved for without a cosigner are the following: Sallie Mae 10.25% 6 year repayment Can pay interest back during school, then principal payment after graduation Discover 10.5% - 0.25% for auto-debit = 10.25% 2% cash back at graduation (only going to be $50) 15 year repayment All payments deferred until after graduation Help? I've never had to do this before :(

I am a 19 year old Sophomore college student studying Electrical Engineering. I am by no means just simply attending. I am here through grants and loans. My parents are both unemployed and are busy trying to provide for my baby brother. If anything i am in debt. The semester started, fees piled up that my aid could not cover. Jobs are extremely difficult to get in the UCF Orlando area. I then turned to copying the PDF from a CD that i had and offering it up for sale. Ebay took down my posts, and I received a letter from "Cengage Learning" if it's actually them telling me to sign and agree to all these things AND pay $250 as a compensation for my infringement. I have 10 days to do so or they will commence a lawsuit. Here's what they said. Cengage Learning 33228 W. 12 Mile Rd. P.O. Box 180 Farmington Hills, MI 48334 Dear: Let me introduce myself. I am the Infringement & Anti-Piracy Paralegal for Cengage Learning and I am responsible, along with others, for protecting the copyright interests of our company. Cengage Learning has recently discovered that you are illegally engaged in selling material that infringes Cengage Learning’s copyright through the eBay auction site. The eBay user agreement, to which you have agreed, states that you, as a Seller, may not “violate any laws, third party rights, or …policies such as the Prohibited and Restricted Items policies.” Moreover, under the Copyright Act, the owner of the copyright in a work has the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the copyrighted work to the public by sale or other transfer. 17 U.S.C. §§106(1) and (3). Notwithstanding the law, and your eBay User Agreement, on April 29th you offered for sale illegal copies of the following Cengage Learning product(s): Calculus: Early Transcendentals by James Stewart. Complete Solution Manual for Calculus: Early Transcendentals by James Stewart. Key Legal Principles We encourage you to take legal advice at this stage. However, it may be useful to explain certain aspects of copyright law here. 1. What damages can a court award in a copyright infringement case? Cengage Learning regularly registers copyrights in the works it publishes. Accordingly, it may elect to recover in litigation, for each work infringed, either actual damages, or statutory damages of “not less than $750.00 or more than $30,000.00 as the court considers just.” 17 U.S.C.§504(c)(1). This amount may be increased to $150,000.00 per work if the infringement is willful. 17 U.S.C.§504(c)(2). Blatant piracy will almost always be deemed “willful.” 2. What if I am sued and choose to ignore it? If you are sued by Cengage Learning, you will need to hire a lawyer to defend the case, or defend the case yourself. If you do neither, Cengage Learning will ask the court to enter a “default judgment” in the maximum amount of damages allowed by law. Such a judgment would then be enforced against you by, e.g., attaching your bank accounts and other assets. 3. Who pays attorneys’ fees? Under the Copyright Act, the court may, in its discretion, award Cengage Learning its costs and attorney’s fees in bringing this action. 17 U.S.C. §505. See Basic Books, Inc. v Kinko’s Graphics Corp., 758 F. Supp. 1522 (S.D.N.Y. 1991). In all events, you will be liable for your own costs and fees, which conservatively could exceed $40,000.00 through trial, for a case that you will lose. Acceptable Resolutions Cengage Learning is willing to settle this claim early if we can avoid the inconvenience of a lawsuit. This can be done only if you respond promptly to this letter by agreeing to: 1. Cease making, distributing, and offering for sale, unauthorized copies of our material; 2. Destroy any and all illegal copies of our material presently in your possession or control; 3. Agree that if you infringe upon Cengage Learning’s copyrights in the future, you consent to the entry of damages against you in the amount of $5,000 per copy; and 4. Pay to Cengage Learning the sum of $250 as compensation for your infringement. Payment must be made in the form of a cashiers check payable to “Cengage Learning.” Please sign and return one copy of this letter to my attention at the address below within 10 business days of your receipt thereof, along with the specified payment, as evidence of your agreement to the above. This offer expires after 10 business days, at which time we reserve the right to commence a lawsuit without further notice. Then it prompts me to sign. I know i need to take action but is this Legitimate? What do I do? Thank you in advance for reading this and trying to help. Thank youI feel like this is just a scam.... 1. I tried to call the number given for the past 3days, no one answers but just want me to leave a message for her. 2. A cease-and-desist letter carrying threats of legal action is not written by a paralegal but by an attorney. 3. The letter threatens to commence a Federal copy right infringement action for a grand sum of $400 when Don Juan’s donkey knows that the minimum amount of controversy for a Federal civil case is $75,000. What do you guys think? should i just ignore this con-artist? thx

I am majoring in Exercise & Health Science, and the department has ties with certain Universities all over the world, particularly in places like Africa and South America, to enrich our education on popular health issues in those areas. I live in Georgia, have the HOPE Scholarship, and Federal Pell Grant to help fund a study abroad, but I need a little more. I only have so much time out of the day to myself, and I was wondering if it were legal to ask neighbors for a donation. In advance, I plan to make a brochure of the Exercise & Health Science Department and the trips they make every year. I also plan to tell them a little bit about myself and why I think it's beneficial to go there. I figured it is legal as long as I am not misrepresenting myself. I am looking to fund-raise using this method for at least a year collecting $1 from each person acquiring around 10-30 dollars a day. I am not interested in loans, and I would apply for a job if I had more time to make money, but right now my full time is going towards my education so that I can make the money later and help people. =] Thank you in advance!

I bank (or did bank) with Halifax. I have banked with them for 21 years and had an overdraft limit with them of £300 for at least the past 10 years. I went to draw some out of the cash machine yesterday to find my available balance was £0 despite only being £188 overdrawn. I contacted them and was told my overdraft limit has now been set to zero, out of the blue without a letter from them or being informed in any way. Further to this, I was told I was going to be charged at £5 PER DAY until the overdraft was cleared!! Even if I owed the full £300, that would still be well over 10% per week interest!! I had already been charged for 2 days of this (£10) before I even noticed what they were doing. Luckyily, I had more than enough in an account with Nationwide and went straight in, withdrew it from there, and put it into my Halifax account to clear the overdraft. Some people may however not be in such a fortunate position, and for something like this to come out of the blue at them without warning would be financially crippling. I told the cashier in the Halifax branch that I considered their behaviour to be such that I would expect from a loan shark. Also that I had transferred all my direct debits/standing orders to my Nationwide account and that my wages would be paid into there in future and I would be having no further dealings with Halifax. I know banks have to make money, but isn't £5 a day for an unauthorised overdraft (which is of their own creation) over the top?

Please help me I am owing Rs. 10 lakhs to the private financial sectors, Rs. 7 lakhs gold loan, 9 lakhs loan in different banks, Rs. 4 lakhs to friends. Because of all these financial problems neither i can concentrate on my work nor i can look after my health. Day by day my condition is becoming worst. I am a photographer by profession. In the year 2002 i was working for a private construction company. I was earning nice salary. At that time i became diabetic patient. Because of the disease i fell sick and could not work for 1 year. This made my condition worst. I had to take hand loans from friends to run my house and for my medicine. After sometime i got some other job and i had just Rs. 2000 salary per month. Because of the less salary i could not give back hand loans taken already. After 3 years my mother got severe heart problems and she was hospitalised. I had to spend huge amount for the treatment of my mother, this also made me to suffer financial very badly. Even after the treatment for my mother i could not save her. I lost my mother, i lost my health, i lost everything in my life. I am the only son to my parents. Now myself and my father is at home but i am finding it very difficult to manage my house. These financial problems are increasing day by day. I cannot have control on that. In the year 2007 i started my own photo studio by taking help of my friends. Though i am having nice income i cannot retain sufficient income for my livelihood. I have to make payment of Rs. 2 lakhs per month towards the interest for the finacial sectors. Even after paying so much i could just pay the interest but principle amount is remaining as it is. And could not even pay the bank loans because of this banks entered my name in the SEBIL and no nationalised banks coming forward to grant loan for me. Now with all these problems my health is deteriorating day by day. Now no alternatives leftout for me except committing suicide. But i dont want to die without repaying the loan amount i had taken. I am also having intentions to achive something in life and serving the poor, needy people in the society. If anybody wishes to solve my financial problems, supporting me to improve the business i will think that i am the lucky to get such people in my life. And i promise i would refund whatever the amount they have given me very shortly. This is the last request i am making with everyone. If i dont get the help anywhere i will think that i am the most unfortunate person in this world, and i dont deserve to be alive. I am 30 years old, unmarried and my name is Preetham. If anybody wants to help me please contact my email id preeth.3315@yahoo.co.in, or preeth3315@gmail.com. Thanking you, with the expectation of your help, Preetham

Hi everyone. I'm interested in getting a personal loan for $10,000. I'm 20 years old, employed on a casual contract (have only just commenced, though), have no bad credit history, owe no money, do not pay excessive rent. Would i be eligible for a personal loan? Obviously different banks have different requirements, but generally speaking here? Thank you.

I’m 20 and I gained an interest in theatre at 16 (when I was doing my A levels). At 18, I began studying Chemistry at university and have continued acting in local amateur plays during my time. This year, after completing second year at uni, I have joined the National Youth theatre and am currently doing their two week summer course. After which, I will become a member. NYT has really made me want to become an actor. But drama school is a problem. I’m about to start third year in Chemistry in September anyway, for which I have already taken a student loan. I won’t be allowed to take another loan for drama school when I graduate, and I can’t afford to pay £11k for 3 years training. What other routes do you think there are available to me? Do you think I might be able to get an Agent when I leave with Chemistry? Some people said NYT might boost my CV, which currently only has amateur credits on. Also, I’m of Indian origin. What is the market like in Britain for Indian actors? Do I have an advantage or a disadvantage? Btw- I do feel a bit odd here at NYT. Most other students have been doing drama since they were 10/11 and some have diplomas and BTEC in performing arts. Whereas I only gained an interest in my late teens and at university.I'm LOST FOR DIRECTION. please help do you think I could get an agent without going to drama school? is there any other route i can take?ive already said drama school is a problem for me. do you think there is any other route i could take? ive joined nyt this year.

I'm going to be starting college soon don't have the immediate funds for a laptop, I'm 18 with no prior credit and was ineligible for any student loans due to my cosigner's credit. I have my entire freshman year of college financially secured, now the only thing I see missing is a laptop. Best Buy has a current promotion for their credit cards, no interest charged for any purchase over $249 if paid in full within 18 months. The minimum payment is $10. I can make above the minimum payments during the school year, then over summer I would be able to pay off the remaining $700 or so balance. The way I see it is that I would be building my credit up (in case I ever needed it for an emergency) during college, and have access to my own computer. Is this an irresponsible decision? My source of income would primarily be from what my family sends me each month (which would be at least $20 a month), and my only other expensive is my phone, which is taken care of. I really wanted to build up my credit during college, and this seems like a decent way to due it, especially considering there is 0 interest. I would hate to make an irresponsible financial decision this early in my life, so I'm trying to get as much feedback as I can regarding this. Thanks.I can't get any student loans because my only available cosigner has had some credit trouble, and I have no credit of my own.

The establishment of an office of special prosecutor for Congress, with its head appointed by the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court for a fixed term. The office should have subpoena power, a well-funded staff and the right to convene grand juries and issue indictments. Self-policing by ethics committees obviously does not work. • All earmarking should be banned. Congress cannot be trusted with this power. • A ban on spouses of members of Congress serving on boards or accepting employment by any company or organization that receives federal funds. In cases like Mrs. Chris Dodd and Mrs. Evan Bayh, corporate board employment was a way for special interests to influence their husbands and pad the family checkbook. • A ban on families of members of Congress serving as lobbyists. • No free travel, whether sponsored by foundations or lobbyists. Only government trips on official business -- real business -- should be allowed. • Full disclosure of the precise amounts of members' net worth, debts, investments and holdings, including home mortgages. • Full publication, online, of all committee votes. • No student loan repayments for congressional staffers. • A five-year ban on lobbying for members of Congress or their staffs after leaving office. The ban should also apply to employment by a company that performs lobbying services. • If a senator or congressman is absent more than 10 percent of the time for reasons other than illness -- including running for president -- his pay should be docked proportionately. • Term limits for congressional staffers. No staff member of Congress should be permitted to serve in a job that pays above $100,000 a year for more than eight years. If we can't get term limits for Congress, let's at least clean out the professional staffers!These ideas are actually from Dick Morris

A smart candidate in 2010 will take elements of these proposals -- particularly the special prosecutor -- and put them in his or her campaign ads. Cashing in on Obama's unpopularity and his failed agenda is only half the battle. Capitalizing on the dismal state of congressional ethics is the other part!I actually took these suggestions from an article by Dick Morris , didn't put it in at first knowing that it would get an instant negative from some with out reading it !
