Think you are pulling chains here. I just doubt any employee has the ability to just void a tax court deadline.

Just wanted to share these great articles on foreclosure/short-sale reporting, worth reading. http://www.fogelcpa.com/Pages/TaxArticles.aspx MAS

I email then the what i get from the bank showing the bounce along with the associated charge. I then leave it up to them to see their character. Just a game of mine but i unually only get a bounce every 2-3 years so i can afford to be like this. If it were more fequent then i would charge the same fees a credit card would charge me $35. As Jainen says you need this in your agreement. Mine has it as does my invoices which also state a late fee of $25 after Net30 and interest @18% per annum. Its amazing how that is a motivator and whenever i send a late fee and interest notice i immediately get a check for the original amount dated 5-6 days before the Net30 date, That plus supplying return envelopes [no postage] lowered my average receivable to 15 days.

I do pay my bank fees and far too many for the privilege of them using my money while in transit. In my county, writing a bad check over $300 is a 4th class felony, prosecutable by the County DA. When I worked for a major tire company retail store, we used this many times to "motivate" people to make good on the bad paper they wrote. Under $300 is a misdemeanor but still prosecutable by the D.A. I do not pay bank fees for someone commiting a crime.

My policy was an invoice to the client (after a telephone call) of 1/4 hour and the bank charge. If they was a good reason, I would take off the 1/4 hour.

Yep...Me 2...

The problem with this thread is the original post does not say what happened to the insurance proceeds. It also does not say if the property will be sold as land or if it will be sold as a rebuilt home on the land. The question leaves way too many options open to interpretation. That is why I stayed out. But I am enjoying the back and forth about what a fire is. President Clinton would appreciate the banter over "what the definition of fire is". Tom Hollister, CA
