Answer: “The Magistrate Court is an integral part of the judicial system and are judicial officers of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The principal function of the magistrate is to provide an independent, unbiased view of complaints brought to the office by police officers, sheriffs, deputies, and citizens. Magistrates are trained to perform such duties as issuing search warrants, subpoenas, arrest warrants, summonses, and setting bail. In addition, magistrates may assist the public by providing information on the judicial system processes and procedures.” If you check out this website at www.co.loudoun.va.us you will find phone numbers for the current magistrate and if you explain your situation they will tell you what you need to do. Good luck

Economy, big projects should highlight 2010

“I can’t remember a single boring day,” Mayor George Van Dusen said about the 2009 news year in Skokie. “There were a few times I wanted to be bored for just one day. I thought, ‘Give me something that’s going on that isn’t of some controversial nature.’” Whether 2010 will equal the explosive news year just ended remains to be seen.

Income tax preparers to face more scrutiny

The Internal Revenue Service unveiled Monday new proposals to bring tax return preparers under great

Recent changes in U.S. law made declaring bankruptcy a much more complicated matter. Chapter 7 is the most common form of bankruptcy requested by debtors and does not require repayment. However, the U.S. Trustee has become much more aggressive in denying Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and instead forcing people into a Chapter 13 bankruptcy that does require repayment. Today you need much more from your law firm to get your Chapter 7 petition approved.

Under the new regulations, the government requirements to obtain a Chapter 7 bankruptcy are:

# Obtaining a Special Edition Credit Report of your obligations

# Transfers of your accounts to collection agencies

# Third-party assignees and if any judgments have been obtained against you

# Obtaining a copy of your IRS Tax Transcripts

# The Pre-Filing Credit Class

# Performance and certification of the Financial Means Test

# Preparation and filing of your petition

# Payment of all court filing fess;

# Representation at court hearings (as known as the Meeting of Creditors)

# A copy of your official filed bankruptcy petition

# And the Post-Filing Credit Class.

Arguably the most difficult and the most critical part of the Chapter 7 process is the new “means test.” The means test compares the debtor’s income in the six months before the filing of the bankruptcy to their state’s median income. If the debtor’s income falls below the state median, they are automatically allowed to file for bankruptcy under Chapter 7. If the debtor’s income is above their state’s median income, they may still qualify to file for Chapter 7, but it becomes more complicated process with additional tests that take their expenses and excess income into account.

Another crucial step in getting your Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition approved is the “341 creditors meeting.” The meeting takes place one to three months after the bankruptcy petition is filed, the 341 creditors meeting takes place, which allows creditors the chance to gain additional information about the debtor’s finances and ability to repay his debt. While you are not required to have a bankruptcy attorney, it is important to make sure you are prepared properly for the meeting.

Considering both the new and the old requirements, it may be in the best interests of a debtor to hire a law firm that has both bankruptcy lawyers and a professional accountant.

Question: Tax return..Quebec canada?

i live in montreal, leaving canada in 2 weeks for good,
can they send me the tax rebate to my address back home? like the checks, and can i cash them there?
if not,
if i leave my bank account open, and give my frnd access to it so he can bring the money back with him..i need to put his address right? need help solving this ..i need the money asap lol

Answer: Rebate? You mean your refund? You’re not confused about the so-called rebate being paid to US taxpayers are you?

They can send the refund to wherever you like. What it will cost you to deposit the cheque in another country will depend on the banking system in that country.

If your country has a decent banking system, I’d recommend using direct deposit to your Canadian bank, then withdrawing the money at an ATM. That’s usually a cheap way to transfer money.
