Can payday lenders press fraud charges for defauted payday loans?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can't be charged with fraud on payday loans. They are considered bad debt. There are several payday loans online that are not licensed to lend in certain states. This is a typical threat from the lenders. They think if they threaten criminal prosecution, people will pay their rediculous charges above what you owe. Don't let them intimidate you. Set up a budget and pay what you can toward each one. You can consolidate your payday loans through Town & Country Acceptance. If you register, I will be happy to give you their information. They work very well with the lenders and they don't take any crap off of any of them.

What is the statute of limitations to file a motion to reinstate stay for bankruptcy in Ohio?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For most cases of fraud it is 4 years from the time that the crime is discovered.

In some instances, (parallel entity fraud, concealment of assets, etc.) the fraud might be considered a continuing offense, and thus there may be no statute of limitations (especially in cases of corporate bankruptcy).

The federal statute of limitations in most cases of bankruptcy fraud is 5 years from either the discharge or denial of the bankruptcy proceedings.

Will credit card fraud against you affect your credit score?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Unfortunately, it will reduce your credit score. What happens is that the original credit card account shows as closed, and you have a newly issued credit card account with a new number through the same credit card issuer. It will take at least 2 years before the newer credit card account is seen as a seasoned trade line.

Why the Internet is more vulnerable than private networks highlighting password vulnerabilities?

Asked by Wiki User

I'm no tech expert but I think the simple answer is that its because anyone can access it. If everybody had access to the Pentagan then that too would become vulnurable. The main reason is because the Internet is not really regulated by any organisation, like a government for example. The Internet is the digital Wild Wild West.

If fraud was report to check systems can you open a bank account after filing bankruptcy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A bank can still report to check systems, but they can NOT report a balance. If you included the account on your bankruptcy, they must change they amount owed to a zero balance. They can put a note saying it was in a bankruptcy though.

I should think so.

While you are protected from certain actions creditors may have been otherwise been able to take to collect the debt, Bankruptcy doesn't mean your actions are unreportable or your not responsible for them. (If anything, just the opposite, almost everything becomes of record, and you are responsible to do certain things or lose the protections granted).

Nor does BK change the reporting record of things that already happened...the history you make is the one you live with.

Good and bad things of internet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is the essay that took me 10 minutes to write.

When the internet was first founded, nobody knew about it. Now, modern times rely on internet. It is a convenient place for news and innovations. The word has progressed through modern history and connection. In an argument, is internet really that necessary? Comparing and contrasting, internet can only be great if used properly.

Internet is a source of badness too. Teenagers are badly influenced by pornography and drugs. Videos about gangsters have led them to graffiti and not environmental habits. Children can be lured into foolish things. Criminals can also trick children through chat sites such as Twitter. Although this chaos seems omnipotent, it can easily stop by internet security, JavaScript, AVG, McAfee, and Firefox pop-ups. On the other hand, Internet Explorer is non-capable of these blocks. Firefox can stop threats and be personalized. Hence, Google Chrome is also similar. Many of the usual internet problems depend on security and browser rather than connections itself.

Internet is a place where you can communicate with other people online.

Email and facebook have made it easier to locate your old classmates. Facebook is most looked down on by parents. However, you can block people you don't like to have nothing to do with you and you can report to the chat supervisor. Also, it is your choice to post whatever you want. Back to the topic, internet has been a complicated system is studied extensively. It has anonymous system as well as private.

The World Wide Web is a place for education. Children can go online to prepare for their future school years. Hence, adults can go to extended school. Students can research for their reports and teachers could double check their facts. You could communicate with friends and family across the world. Not only can you have a better education, the internet can entertain you too. You could check out the latest music videos or iTunes. Many apple devices are useless without internet too. Stockers need to use the internet regularly to check their money as well as bankers, agents, and managers. The internet is a place to share innovations and create movies to move the economy. Other people can give you ideas. It gives you help drawing, sculpting, or music. Self improvement is a self goal so it is important to have it in your life.

When the first portable computer came out, many people bought it. It was a phenomenon and amazing to everybody in 1980. Now technology has taken another leap and we are even further in history. To access these items is a great part of modern times. It helps you learn new things and program better to create a future as a computer worker. It saves room and is just as great. However, with these new devices, you need a wireless connection. Since we are in avant-garde technology, which should be quite easy. After these steps are completed, you should have an easier time getting everything in one package instead of moving around.

In conclusion, internet has become a great part of the twenty-first century. Even though it has some downsides, there are many benefits too. It should be accessible anywhere. It is greatly needed and used. Imagine how it would be like if we had no internet.

Can you file charges against spouse for credit card fraud?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends on the state you live in and the circumstances. Some states have abollished adultery/fornification laws altogether. Others fail to enforce them because of claims of "invasion of personal privacy". Even if your state does have an adultery/fornification law it may not allow your wife to "file" charges. Most state's only allow citizens to report crimes and it is the state's law enforcement agencies responsibility to investigate the crime for probable cause and makes arrests if they deem a crime may have been committed. Its the state's judicial system that "files" charges and then prosecutes the crime. The final catch here is burden of proof. In other words they have to have evidence and/or witnesses who can testify that it actually happened. Hard to do and not invade ones privacy if in fact they then fail to prove it happened, thus the privacy issues prevent investigation , much less prosecution. In some states adultery is only considered when settling divorce cases. In these states it is sometimes considered for due cause for the divorce, and in others it may affect who gets what in the division of assets. All that being said many states have tiptoed around their own adultery laws and simply failed to make arrests or prosecute the individuals. Another justification many states use to not prosecute crimes like adultery is their claim that they are too overburdened by crimes like theft, drugs and murder to bother with prosecuting crimes like adultery. It is better to know than to guess...find out the law for your state

Is the Shroud of Turin true or fraud?

User Avatar

Asked by Itchiec2

There is no record of the shroud during the first centuries of the Christian era, it is first mentioned in the 14th century, having been found in the Diocese of Troyes. Originally, the shroud was believed a forgery, even by the Church. The pope set up an inquiry to formally examine it and from their findings it was soon believed authentic.

Some tests, conducted by three prestigious laboratories in Switzerland, England, and the United States, found the shroud to contain spores and evidence pointing to the medieval era, a period long after the death of Christ. However, spores and evidence of Palestine were also found on the shroud (plant life, coins dating to the era were placed on the body's eyes and reproduced on the shroud) indicating the shroud was much older and had been in Palestine. The medieval evidence is circumstantial to the shroud being exposed to the contaminations of where it has been.

The Shroud and the Gospel Accounts:

The Gospel writers say that the body of Jesus, after being taken from the stake by Joseph of Arimathea, was wrapped in clean fine linen. (Matthew 27:57-61; Mark 15:42-47; Luke 23:50-56) The apostle John adds: Nicodemus also came bringing a roll of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds of it. So they took the body of Jesus and bound it up with bandages with the spices, just the way the Jews have the custom of preparing for burial. John 19:39-42.

The Jews customarily washed the dead and then used oils and spices to anoint the body. (Matthew 26:12; Acts 9:37) On the morning following the Sabbath, women friends of Jesus intended to complete the preparation of his body, which had already been laid in a tomb. However, when they arrived with their spices the body of Jesus was not in the tomb! (Mark 16:1-6; Luke 24:1-3).

What did Peter find when he came shortly afterward and entered the tomb? The eyewitness John reported: He viewed the linen clothes lying (Vulgate), also the cloth that had been upon his head not lying with the cloth but separately rolled up in one place. (John 20:6,7).

The Christian writers of the third and fourth centuries, many of whom wrote about a host of miracles in connection with numerous relics, did not mention the existence of a shroud containing the image of Jesus. What happened to it at this time, if it did exist, is unknown.

Currently science is unable to explain the Shroud or date it. The push for it to be a medieval forgery has become bogged down with modern science, which has revealed that the shroud imprint is not merely a natural photographic negative but also can be scanned and rendered into an accurate 3D reproduction of the body. Also, the coins imprinted into the shroud had been placed over the body's eyes - they are found to correspond to the region and era where died. To create such a thing is far beyond medieval skill, let alone modern science.

The Vatican venerates the shroud as authentic.

AnswerHistory of the Shroud of Turin

Historical documentation shows that prior to 1355 A.D. the Shroud was displayed in the cities of Jerusalem, Edessa (500) and Constantinople (1092). Also, King Louis VII of France venerated the Shroud in Constantinople in 1147. We also know that during August 1203, Robert de Clari, a French crusader, reported seeing the Shroud in Constantinople.

The next historical citing place of the Shroud is France, in that it passed to the possession of the De Charny family of Lirey. Probably the Shroud was obtained during the Crusades and brought to Europe. The Shroud was later given to House of Savoy, and subsequently moved to Cathedral of Turin on Sept. 14, 1578.

Artistic imitations of the Shroud were displayed during the medieval period in Chambery, France; Lierre, Belgium; and Acireale, Sicily. Pierre D'Arcis's letter to the anti-pope, Clement VII, is not considered a reliable assessment of the Shroud's authenticity. In addition, do we know that he was assessing the Shroud in question, or was it one of the imitations?

Comparison of expectations with the Shroud of Turin

The next points concern the discussion of a comparison of expectations with the Shroud. First, it is assumed by some that burial spices of the kinds used have not been detected. However, traces have been found (see below). Also, Dr. Max Frei of the University of Zurich and founder of the Zurich Criminal Police's Scientific Service found, among other things, pollen from halophytes, which are adapted to a high salt content region such as is almost exclusively found around the Dead Sea.

In addition, the blood stains and body imprints on the Shroud are very consistent with the ancient Roman method of whipping and crucifixion. The Shroud reveals over 120 wound sites. Such an image could not have been painted because, first, medieval artists did not possess the skills of painting detailed human anatomy, as is clearly seen from the period's art. Second, unlike most artists' depictions of Christ being nailed in the hands, the victim of crucifixion in the Shroud was nailed in the wrist between the radius and ulna so that he could hang securely on the cross. This fact about Roman crucifixion methods was not known to medieval artists. Also, the nails at the wrist would have penetrated a nerve and caused the thumbs to snap into the palm. Accordingly, the thumbs of the man in the Shroud are hidden due to this nailing.

When one conducts a serious and open-minded study of the Shroud, he will see that the Shroud is completely consistent with what we would expect from someone crucified by Roman methods in the time of Christ. The consistent facts are too numerous to be discussed here.

Scientific analysis

Regarding scientific analysis, the STURP team stated the following: "We can conclude for now that the Shroud image is that of a real human form of a scourged, crucified man. It is not the product of an artist. The blood stains are composed of hemoglobin and also give a positive test for serum albumin. The image is an ongoing mystery and until further chemical studies are made, perhaps by this group of scientists, or perhaps by some scientist in the future, the problem remains unsolved."

It is a fact that the blood stains are consistent with a body lying horizontal, while the hair fall is consistent with a body upright or risen. Rather than such facts contradicting the authenticity of the Shroud, they reveal something significant, a significance not seen by the skeptic.

Blood stains or paint?

Dr. John Jackson of the STURP team produced a three-dimensional picture from the Shroud. A regular two-dimensional image, such as that of a painting or a photograph, will only produce a badly contorted image in the VP-8 screen. However, when actual depth is shown by less light the VP-8 produces a three-dimensional picture. This evidence confirms that the Shroud is not like a painting.

Contrary to some claims, the STURP team determined that the stains were human blood of the AB group. This finding has been corroborated by others: Professor Pierluigi Baima Bollone, Professor of Medicine at the University of Turin, reported in 1978 that the blood stains were indeed human blood with traces of aloes and myrrh and belonging to the group AB. World renowned French geneticist Professor Jerome Lejeune also concluded that the blood sample he obtained was human hemoglobin.

Furthermore, Dr. Alan Adler, an expert on porphyrins, and Dr. John Heller, MD, studied the blood flecks on the STURP sampling tapes [Heller and Adler, Applied Optics 19, (16) 1980]. They converted the heme into its parent porphyrin, and interpreted the spectra taken of blood spots by Gilbert and Gilbert. Adler and Heller concluded that the blood flecks are real blood. In addition to that, the x-ray-fluorescence spectra taken by STURP showed excess iron in blood areas, as expected for blood.

Radiocarbon dating

The 1988 test sample was not representative of the whole. It was taken from a patched area of the Shroud. The Shroud may have been patched during the Middle Ages, but we know of documentation of patching that took place during the 16th century. The patched-in material was colored with alizarin dye extracted from Madder plant roots. Very few scholars today, if any, think that the earlier 1988 carbon 14 dating of the Shroud of Turin, reported in the journal "Nature", is correct.

Robert Villarreal and a team of scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory have demonstrated conclusively that the 1988 carbon dating is invalid. Villarreal states:

"[T]he age-dating process failed to recognize one of the first rules of analytical chemistry that any sample taken for characterization of an area or population must necessarily be representative of the whole. The part must be representative of the whole. Our analyses of the three thread samples taken from the Raes and C-14 sampling corner showed that this was not the case."
