When a laptop is written off can an external company buy up writeoffs to repair and resell?

The term write off only means that the owner removes the asset from it's books, (whether it be inventory or owned) and accepts the cost of the loss. They are adjusting the books to recognize that it has no value. Sure they can sell it to you. They still own it. it's just not worth anything according to the books. If sold they then have a partial write off and only lose the amount they had it on their books for, minus what they receive from you. (The same as selling it for a loss). While they could even give it to you (instead of the garbage man) and be in the same place, don't be suprised if they don't want to sell it to you. Some Cos' don't want anyone selling products with their name on it that aren't absolute first quality. With or without their name on it they also may not want to share the market place with you, as you may sell to the same customer that would otherwise buy their goods and now decides to purchase the cheaper product.

How do you let go of a child who is being turned against you by your ex-wife?

Don't let go and PLEASE don't give up! Time will tell. The child will eventually see for his/herself. Just be there for your child no matter what. Children love both parents unconditionally as parents do the child. Divorce is hard on children and well as the parents,you maybe letting go of your ex spouse but not your child. Both parents have the responsibility to raise this child without the child feeling they have to pick one parent over the other. This causes undo stress on them as they feel they must keep each parent happy at all cost.

Are there programs to help people that have foreclosed?

There is no specific right to own a home. Right now the laws are tending toward freezing the rates of ARMS so people can get refinanced. However, that only works if the payments are up to date. Other than that, there are non profits that help with credit counseling so that you can recover your rating and perhaps buy another house in the future.

Am I still resposible for car lien in my deceased husband name if I turn the car in?

YES. You now own the car and also any obligations that are attached to that vehicle. Turning the car is is a voluntary repossession. None the less it is still a repossession, and your credit will be ruined for 7 years. A repo is a repo, any way you do it. You should reconsider this course of action. Sell the car, or do whatever is necessary but do not let the car be repossessed. Read the following for More information on repossession. When you finance or lease a vehicle, your creditor holds important rights on the vehicle until you've made the last loan payment or fully paid off your lease obligation. These rights are established by the signed contract and by state law. If your payments are late or you default on your contract in any way, your creditor may have the right to repossess your car. Talking with Your Creditor

It is easier to try to prevent a vehicle repossession from taking place than to dispute it afterward. Contact your creditor when you realize you'll be late with a payment. Many creditors will work with you if they believe you'll be able to pay soon, even if slightly late. Sometimes you may be able to negotiate a delay in your payment or a revised schedule of payments. If you reach an agreement to modify your original contract, get it in writing to avoid questions later. Still, your creditor may refuse to accept late payments or make other changes in your contract and may demand that you return the car. By voluntarily agreeing to a repossession, you may reduce your creditor's expenses, which you would be responsible for paying. Remember that even if you return the car voluntarily, you're responsible for paying any deficiency on your credit or lease contract, and your creditor still may report the late payments and/or repossession on your credit report. Seizing the Car

In many states, your creditor has legal authority to seize your vehicle as soon as you default on your loan or lease. Because state laws differ, read your contract to find out what constitutes a "default." In most states, failing to make a payment on time or to meet your other contractual responsibilities are considered defaults. In some states, creditors are allowed on your property to seize your car without letting you know in advance. But creditors aren't usually allowed to "breach the peace" in connection with repossession. In some states, removing your car from a closed garage without your permission may constitute a breach of the peace. Creditors who breach the peace in seizing your car may have to pay you if they harm you or your property. A creditor usually can't keep or sell any personal property found inside. State laws also may require your creditor to use reasonable care to prevent others from removing your property from the repossessed car. If you find that your creditor can't account for articles left in your car, talk to an attorney about whether your state offers a right to compensation. Selling the Car

Once your creditor has repossessed your car, they may decide to sell it in either a public or private sale. In some states, your creditor must let you know what will happen to the car. For example, if a creditor chooses to sell the car at public auction, state law may require that the creditor tells you the date of the sale so that you can attend and participate in the bidding. If the vehicle is to be sold privately, you may have a right to know the date it will be sold. In either of these circumstances, you may be entitled to buy back the vehicle by paying the full amount you owe, plus any expenses connected with its repossession (such as storage and preparation for sale). In some states, the law allows you to reinstate your contract by paying the amount you owe, as well as repossession and related expenses (such as attorney fees). If you reclaim your car, you must make your payments on time and meet the terms of your reinstated or renegotiated contract to avoid another repossession. The creditor must sell a repossessed car in a "commercially reasonable manner" - according to standard custom in a particular business or an established market. The sale price might not be the highest possible price - or even what you may consider a good price. But a sale price far below fair market value may indicate that the sale was not commercially reasonable. Paying the Deficiency

A deficiency is any amount you still owe on your contract after your creditor sells the vehicle and applies the amount received to your unpaid obligation. For example, if you owe $2,500 on the car and your creditor sells the car for $1,500, the deficiency is $1,000 plus any other fees you owe under the contract, such as those related to the repossession and early termination of your lease or early payoff of your financing. In most states, a creditor who has followed the proper procedures for repossession and sale is allowed to sue you for a deficiency judgment to collect the remaining amount owed on your credit or lease contract. Depending on your state's law and other factors, if you are sued for a deficiency judgment, you should be notified of the date of the court hearing. This may be your only opportunity to present any legal defense. If your creditor breached the peace when seizing the vehicle or failed to sell the car in a commercially reasonable manner, you may have a legal defense against a deficiency judgment. An attorney will be able to tell you whether you have grounds to contest a deficiency judgment.

Can you trade a car in after having it for 3 months?

This question reminds me of something a car dealer I knew used to say to his customers: "I can help you, you just need more cash" Can you trade a vehicle after having it for 3 months? Yes, as long as the lienholder of the old car gets paid off. But there are a whole variety of factors that affect you ability to do so? Do you have equity in the 3 month old car you want to trade? What does your credit look like? Did you pay too much for the original car? Are you willing to pay gap insurance? (Insurance that covers the difference between what you old on the trade in and what they allow you on the tradein) If you are going back to the same dealer and same lender; are they willing to do the deal? Why do you want to trade? Did you get a lemon? There may be other remedies available to you. <a href="http://www.spoke.com/info/p7euCJj/DonMashak" tagged="_blank"> Your Freind,

I am filing bankruptcy will they take my car if it's paid off?

Please consult with an attorney because I am not. That being said:

It depends on what chapter you file. If you file a chapter 7 (total liquidation) it is possible, the trustee may want to go after it. The point here is that his job is to recover as much possible money for the creditors as possible. If you have a car that is worth $10,000 and he could sell it and get 8K for it; he's going to sell it. If you have a Junker that is worth $2500, he may not be as interested. There are things called exemptions that also come into play. Typically, you may get to keep your car. IF you file a chapter 13, more than likely you don't have to worry; as you have a plan to repay your debtors. Keep in mind, I am leaving out all sorts of other chapters (11,12,etc) which involve corporations, farmers, etc. ) Please consult an attorney for advice .
