What is 0000006245?

Without knowing the context, it's difficult to be sure.

  • It could be simply a decimal number, 6,245, with leading zeros.
  • In computer programming, it is customary to write base 8 (octal) numbers with leading zeros. This could be a number in base 8, since it doesn't contain any digits greater than 7. In that case, 0000006245 would be equivalent to 3,237 in base 10.
  • There is the remote possibility that it is a number in a higher base, like base 16 (hexadecimal), but there is no clue to suggest that or indicate what the base might be.

In any of those cases, the leading zeros are not significant.

Most will agree that they have too much power in influencing law and governmental decisions.

As a couple of examples (out of thousands):

Walmart openly admitted at a stock holders meeting that their political contributions resulted in their company being specifically excluded from some mandatory health insurance laws.

Monsanto Corporation has lobbied for, as well as used its money and influence to see that stock holders, former employees are placed in government positions for the purposes of ensuring its genetically modified food patents are enforced as well as ensuring that the US Government allows the sales of its product without disclosure.

How can you get to change your five hundred peso with damage that you get in your ATM withdrawals?

As far as I know, damaged money is still usable as long as it's not torn in two (or more) pieces. I've personally paid with damaged euro, Norwegian crowns, Canadian dollar, American dollar bills and many other bills (before the euro came.) If not you could simply use transparent tape and fix it yourself.

In the matter of currency it is still valid as long it's in one piece, you should be able to use it as payment or exchange it

If this is not the case or if the bill is in two (or more) pieces I would simply suggest asking the bank them self, and demand a different bill as is your right if the money can't be used as payment. ( if it's two or more pieces, heavily stained ea. for the currencies I have had experience with.)

Help me they are garanshing my check and i cant live off of whati have left what should ido?

There is very little you can do. IF they have a garnishment then they already have a judgment against you and have failed in collecting their money in other ways. The problem is that unless you have some way to have the judgment set aside, you're probably stuck with paying it off or waiting it out. The people taking the money have no incentive to not collect while they can.

If the job is not important then changing jobs will give you a short break (until they find the new job), or you can get a second job and it's unlikely they will bother to look for that income.

How much money can expect to get from my transunion lawsuit?

Well if your name and ssn was used and sold by trans union you have a case. If you file by yourself it will take years to see any money. If you get a lawyer it will take about a year and then the amount of money is very little if at all. The top pay out is $3,700 and after the lawyer gets a hold of his share your left with about $1,800 and then they break that down to half credit monitoring and half cash, so your total take is about $900.00. That's the top pay for peoples credit got used the most. 80% of people who file a claim don't get no money at all they have to take free credit monitoring.. That's IT! So don't think you are going to get rich off of Trans union, it wont happen.
