Obama has asked Israel to freeze further settlements in the West Bank So why have they not complied?

Natanyahu states that Israel have to take into account “natural growth” Ok that seems reasonable by why in the West Bank whats wrong with the 56% of Palestine that they were given in 1947 ? or is there a more sinister reason like this one

Obama does not rule Israel, although he may think he should.

He has refused to honor previously made deals with Israel, so they are thumbing their nose at him.

As long as they live in the desert under the guns of the arabs, and he lives in the white house, he should not expect much cooperation.

Understanding Settlement Agreements

A Settlement Agreement is a legal contract effectuating a compromise between two parties, who agree to settle their disputes between them rather than resort to litigation. A Settlement Agreement usually contains a General and Mutual Release of All Claims, meaning that both parties release the other from any past, present, or future liability arising out of the events that led to the Settlement Agreement. For instance, typical language for a personal injury “slip and fall” Settlement Agreement would be: “In exchange for release of all past, present, or future liability, The Tigers Baseball team agrees to pay season ticket holder Stephens $35,000.00.”

Most parties to a Settlement Agreement will want the agreement to recite that by signing the agreement they are not admitting fault, wrongdoing, or liability. More specifically, this paragraph could say that this Settlement Agreement does not constitute an “admission, concession, or evidence of any alleged fault, misrepresentation, act or omission or any other alleged violation of law, and it does not represent a formal finding of wrongdoing by any court or administrative agency.” To further strengthen the point, the agreement might explain that the settlement has been entered into in the interest of resolving the issues raised by the complaints, investigations and examinations and to avoid the risks, loss of time and the costs associated with protracted litigation.

Because a settlement usually involves a payment of money from one side to the other in exchange for mutual and general releases, the agreement should clearly define how much money is going to be paid, in what form, when, and to whom. For instance, is the money being paid all at once or in payments over time? If it is being paid all at once, will it be paid directly to the client or to the client’s law firm? Must it be paid before the agreement can be executed, or can it be paid shortly thereafter? The agreement should clearly answer these questions.

Sometimes a party will be agreeing to do or to refrain from doing something as part of a settlement. This section of the agreement, sometimes titled “injunctive relief”, must describe what actions the settling party is agreeing to take or not to take. This section may also include language describing the consequences for breach. In addition, the agreement should contain a warranties paragraph, whereby each party covenants that no other person or entity has or has had any interest in the claims, demands, obligations, or causes of action referred to in the Settlement Agreement, and that it has not sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of any of the claims, demands, obligations, or causes of action referred to in the Settlement Agreement.

Lastly, the Agreement should be written to express the entire agreement between the parties and should bind the successors of both parties. Each party should promise that it has obtained appropriate legal advice of its own choosing and that all terms of the agreement are fully understood and voluntarily accepted. The agreement should also state the governing jurisdiction, and finally, should refer to any supplemental documents necessary to give full force and effect to the terms of the Settlement Agreement.

Does anyone have a handle on how much the Feds spend on banking regulation?

I tried to find out how much is spent on enforcing just the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), which entails an army of government lawyers and statisticians, but neither my Congressman or my Senators could come up with an answer and didn’t seem particularly concerned that no one knew.

probably millions.

Bankruptcy vs Judgement?

Thinking about filing for bankruptcy. Im in debt $30,000 which is gaining interest. The debt is from 6 credit cards which have been in collections for 4 years now still in the sol limits. Just received a summons cant pay them off right now an the only settlement they are offering is to sign a judgment threw the courts agreeing to pay back in payments with a high interest. Which basically would be me agreeing to a judgment on my record. So Im considering filling bankruptcy. Any advise? What looks worse on the record a judgment or a Bankruptcy? Or I could take them to court an make them prove the debt see what the judge will say but im sure they will judge against me. An it can add up more costs.Idk Any advice?

Both are bad for your credit score. But often clients who must file bankruptcy actually see their credit score RISE following bankruptcy. The reason is, most people who file bankruptcy have credit scores that are pretty much in the toilet to begin with (or soon will, due to judgments, collections, etc.). The bankruptcy will count as a negative against your credit score (and can be reported for 10 years) but the fact that your debts are discharged, giving you $0 of indebtedness after you receive your discharge is also figured into the score, and this is a positive. So many debtors see a modest net rise in their credit scores after filing bankruptcy.

That said, most bankruptcy attorneys will tell you that your credit score is NOT what should be the determining factor in whether to file bankruptcy. The determining factor is: can you repay your debts or not? If not, bankruptcy is often the only solution. If so, then repaying them is better than not repaying them.

Most bankruptcy attorneys offer one free or very low cost appointment to review your financial situation and advise you whether bankruptcy looks like a reasonable solution for you. Make an appointment with one or several bankruptcy attorneys and discuss. You are under no obligation to file bankruptcy (or to hire any particular bankruptcy attorney to file bankruptcy) just because you’ve seen an attorney for a free consultation.

Can my husband pay off my credit cards before filing for bankruptcy?

We live in CA. My husband and I were thinking about filing together for bankruptcy. However, he just received a personal injury settlement that is enough to pay off my credit cards and save my credit. If he does file for bankruptcy it wouldn’t be for a few months from now at least. Can he use the settlement money for this purpose or will this hinder his bankruptcy proceedings?

It will make the bankruptcy go faster and easier if the credit card debit was paid off beforehand.
