When I bought my RV while I was stationed in GA, the sales tax would have been I like 7% if I had registered it there, but instead I registered in my official state of residence, Virginia, and only had to pay about 4%. When I was talking to the VA DMV they told me that they don't care if your a VA citizen or not and will register it regardless. Additionally since the vehicle wasn't going to be garaged in VA I didn't need to get emissions or a VA state inspection. If you don't want to deal with the hassle of getting AZ to give you tags, you might check out VA if it doesn't really matter what state you're registered in.

Christoff posted:You guys still swingin' Military discounts showing your DD214? I know some places specifically say "active duty Military or veterans." But I can't imagine the 16 year old making minimum wage cares. I was under the impression there was a veteran ID or something You can get a VA healthcare card

DoktorLoken posted:I'm booking a hotel for some official travel next month and am having a hard time finding a hotel under the allowable lodging rate; if I book a hotel say, $20 per night over the allowance and pay the difference is my DTS voucher going to get raped? I've never had an issue finding a suitable hotel under the per diem rate before. Also are you making sure to ask for the government rate when you call or are you just looking at their standard rates and seeing if they are under the limit? Whenever I went TDY I generally would only stay in nice fancy places that had "Resort and Spa" in the name. Almost all of them had standard rates 2-3 times the maximum government rate, but they would give me a room at the government rate if they had rooms available. One Marriott in Phoenix gave me a room that was essentially a condo and even had a water park on site. Marriott is also great because they give the government rate to active military even if they are not on orders.

It doesn't matter what he was doing when he got hurt as long as it wasn't illegal or against orders pretty much, he can file for disability for any injuries sustained on active duty. He just needs to document that the injury happened during his time in the service. Now if he were injured in a combat situation or training for a combat then he can be entitled to special disability pay called CRSC on top of his disability payment. However just because he broke his ankle while on active duty doesn't mean he will get disability pay unless there is something disabling about the injury such as it not healing properly, limited range of motion or chronic pain.

You could probably do something like volunteer Fire Dept/EMS or Search and Rescue kind of deal instead of trying to do anything with the military. You (most likely) won't be getting paid, but it could be some good experience for a future paramedic job and keep your skills sharp.

I had some poo poo on my credit report that legitimately didn't belong to me that I had to get cleared up recently. Some of it was from when my identity got stolen thanks to the Army (dude who stole it lived in a trailer park right outside of Fort Gordon, but no law enforcement would investigate and I had moved over a 1000 miles away already), a medical bill that my insurance company had paid and a bill from Directv from years after I had closed my account with no balance due. I managed to get everything off my credit report pretty quickly without paying anyone and was able to buy a house. I wouldn't even bother calling any of the debt collection companies. Instead send them a debt verification letter and tell them not to contact this dude anymore. Make sure to send it certified mail so you can prove they received it. Immediately after the debt collectors receive your verification letter, dispute the debts with the credit bureaus. Once the debt collector receives that letter requesting verification they are required by law to stop collecting the debt until it is verified. This includes responding to the credit bureau, who will be contacting them thanks to your dispute, and reporting that the debt is valid. If the credit bureau responds to your dispute that the debt collector validated the debt before you receive the debt verification letter from the collector then you have proof that they violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and can put their balls to the vice. Here is some good info about debt verification and in general putting debt collectors into a position to breaking the law http://www.creditinfocenter.com/rebuild/debt-validation.shtml Another parallel avenue you can take is to file complaints against the debt collector and also the credit bureaus with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. They have a handy online complaint form on their website and what they will do is pretty much forward your complaint directly to the other party and wait for them to respond. For the complaint against debt collectors I recommend outlining any violations of the FCRA and FDCPA specifically and stating that your desired resolution is for the debt to marked as paid in full and removed from your credit report, and that you were much prefer that outcome to taking them to court for civil penalties related to their unlawful actions. The hope is that the debt collector will realize that they just racked up a hefty bill from civil penalties and that it is in their best interest to just settle with you before it becomes an issue. For the credit bureaus you can complain that you disputed the debts and that they are invalid, but the credit bureau still has it on your credit report. In my experience they usually respond something to the effect of privacy is very important to them so they will not be discussing anything, but when I check my credit report afterwards they have complied with my requests. Just make sure to keep each complaint simple and related to only one issue at a time as they don't seem to really read the complaints, just respond to them as quickly as possible. Edit: You can also open disputes over the telephone. Here are the numbers: Experian 714-830-7000 Equifax 404-885-8300 TransUnion 312-985-2000 Delizin fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Jun 4, 2015 |

When I applied for my mortgage I only listed my VA disability money and was approved instantly. I'm not sure how they would look at the post 9/11 money since it is only for while you're in school and runs out after a few years, but I'd still give it a shot.
