Is it right to allow loss making HUFs to collect deposits from general public ?

First, I don't think that HUFs have a right to collect deposit from the public. And as far as I understand, HUF (Hindu undivided family) is not a business entity. So, how can a deposit be accepted? If u mean loans and deposits from ur friends and relatives, then they are not covered by law unless they have proof in writing.. Anyway, for a better answer u should consult a CA!!

The bank is not responsible to make sure that funds are available. It is the depositors responsibilty. The best that can be done is to talk to the bank that the check was drawn on to find out if funds are available to cover it, and of course, sue the writer of the check.

Actually, you couldn't write it all off, even if you donated it. Lottery winnings are considered taxable income. Charitable donations are deducted from your taxes at a lower rate. You CAN write off gambling losses, but you have to claim the winnings as income, and you'd better be ready for an audit.

At the most they can screw you. They can definatley take a strict action coz its not the bank money its the money from general public which goes to bank as saving. Make a clear statment to them that you are willing to pay at later date.

Yes.  But read the prospectus, since it may have a provision whereby the administrator automatically reinvests the dividends rather than paying them out.

The first answer is closest to correct. I am not sure were this "time limit" came from. As long as you work for this company and you have given them permission to directly depostit funds they also have the right to ertrieve funds mistakenly deposited. They also can take it from your next check and this is probably the method they would actually take as it is the easist. However, if they can show they mistakenly deposited funds you did not deserve and you then quit working for them they can take you to court, place a bad rating on your credit by gaining a judgement, and/or file criminal charges for theft or embezzlement. Especially if you work in an office postition which would enable you to access the computers. They could claim they did not make a mistake that YOU did this on your own or with the assistance of somebody else in the office.\n\nIn any regards it is morally and ethically wrong to take something you know is not yours. That is stealing. I suggest you take the first answerer suggestion. Take the inititive and demonstrate a code of conduct in which you are honorable, ethical and responsible. Even if you are not by bringing this to their attention you are giving the impression you are those things. I would hope you would do the right thing just because it is the right thing and not becuase you were forced, but hey it is your life and you are the one who has to live with your behavior.\n\nGood luck in this moral delemma, and I wish you all the best. Sometimes we learn by the mistakes we make and we become better for it.

I can guarantee if you follow their instructions and give them your bank account information so that they can "deposit your winnings,' they will drain every last dime from your account. You will never see them or your money again!

I think a couple of people may have missed the fact that you said this is an INVESTMENT property.  If this is your personal residence the answer is, indeed, no. (and since you referred to the 2 out of 5 rule you may have just misspoken when you said investment because that rule ONLY refers to primary residences). However if this was an investment and you lived somewhere else than you can take a capital loss. (If there was personal use AT ALL of the property it is NOT an investment). All of your improvements will be added to basis to possibly increase your loss.  Please keep in mind that your capital losses can offset your capital gains and then go to a maximum $3000 ($1500 if MFS).  Any excess loss will be a carryover loss to be used in future years.

These are usually purchased through banks.  They have a set % interest rate for a set period of time.  Cashing them early results in a penalty.  They are FDIC insured, so there is no chance in loss.  You can about as good or better with your money in a Money Market account right now.

If you are not paying the full amount, yes. Otherwise, they wouldn't be sending it to a collectin agency. If it has already been sent and you pay it, everything should be taken care of.

Whenever the government decides it is. You have no right to receive this money, anyway. It is the government's to spend, not yours.

Doesn't sound right.  There has to some onus of responsibilty on the part of the operator of the storage facility.  I do know they recommend obtaining renter's insurance if you use such a facility.  At any rate, you may have a case for small claims court.  It depends on the state where your reside.  Assuming this was a recent ocurrance (within your state's statute of limitations) and you were in good stead (you made the required payments on a timely basis) then you may be able to recoup at least a portion of your loss.\nTry the website I have listed below for additional information.  It will serve as a good "jumping off" point, giving you an idea of where else to look for information specific to your state, what documentation you need to prove your claim and what questions you need to ask and of whom.  Good luck!

can you charge them for miss conduct? they promised to do a job they haven't done?\n\nis it the agencies responsibility to clear mess left by a tenant? isn't that why private tenants pay security deposits?\n\nask a solicitor, you will get 30Min's free from some. nothing is worse than a ripped off feeling, i do hope you get sorted soon and maybe you should raise your security deposits to cover any losses in the future. there are some really nasty people out there.

Yes, where can I send you my money or should I just save time and throw it out the window myself? \nJesus! Do people still fall for theses things?

I'm not a Singaporean but we do have something similar to CPF in Malaysia, it's called EPF. From my opinion on EPF, it's a good thing that the government made it a mandatory for people to contribute because not only that employees has a saving for the rainy days, but employers are also contributing. But the shitty thing is that even though it is our money, we are restricted to a certain degree of freedom in obtaining back the money and can only be obtained when we want to buy house, pay for our unsponsored children's tertiary education, etc. Usually people will grumble on how EPF is overcontrolling the money (hence the allegations that the people inside EPF is swindling the money). Overall, it is a good idea but I hope that the CPF body in Singapore won't take the advantage of poeple's money and give some degree of freedom for people to use their own money. Well, it's just my point of view.
