What are penalties of unemployment fraud in ny?

only if they catch you but right now nobody cares. My ex boyfriend is collecting his emergency extension from NYC beyond 79 weeks while residing overseas. He has not looked for work in a long time and will not be looking for work in USA at all. he was only employed part time in NY for about 16 months and worked on 1099 but still filed for benefits and received them.

He is now claiming every week fraudulently. They extended it again just recently and he is very happy to have a carefree life for the next 20 weeks. Nobody is checking and nobody cares, so there are pretty much no consequences.

What should you do if you were a victim of credit card fraud and you are now being sued by the credit card company?

hire a lawyer. I had charges thru my checking account where someone used my debit card. I contacted the bank & they resolved it for me. And I did get my money back. Good Luck! The credit card shouldn't be suing you unless the problem has been let go a long time. The first thing you should have done was dispute the charge with the credit card company. Then you should have filed a police report either in the jurisdiction where the card was used or in your own jurisdiction, given your state's identity theft laws. You should forward that police report to your credit card company/bank and to the company with whom the purchase was made. You should also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commision at 877-ID THEFT or with the FBI at the Internet Fraud Complaint Center at www.ifccfbi.gov. At this late date, though, you should probably consult an attorney.

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.

Can claiming overtime that had been approved but which you did not fully utilise in completing the task to the required standard be considered an example pf theft fraud at work?

If you are at work for longer than your regular hours and have been offered overtime to work longer, then if you did work longer and claimed for the actual extra time you were at work, then this is not fraud. If you claim for overtime and were not actually at work for this time, then this is fraud.

The standard of your work has nothing to do with your overtime and is a separate matter. Consider if you were not doing overtime but not completing the task to the standard required then this would be of concern to your employer, but not fraud. Fraud is a form of theft and is a crime, being bad at your job is not.

The former will involve the police and the criminal courts (and may lead to jail), the latter will involve you being sacked as a poor employee.

It is a nuisance yes I admit, but I never had it happen to me yet. Some people like to play pranks with it on other people, purposely order catalogues,or ask for estimates for all sorts.

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

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.
