Well, it's $270k over 18 years starting whenever she turns 62. $15k a year, paid out around 30 years from now, is worth something like $30k in todays money. I didn't run that through a calculator, that's just my recollection. I have a pension that's worth about the same, and there was talk of a buyout, so I ran the calculator about a year ago.

Either way it's a poor decision, but it's not really hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Actually it's $98k discounted at the 30 year treasury rate. Not sure how you got anywhere close to $30k.

There's moral reasons you shouldn't ask those questions but also practical reasons - even if the outcome in court is likely to be in your favor whether or not you were bigoted, your employer doesn't want to pay for lawyers either. Why pay more for a lawyer when you can just make it policy to not ask questions that would lead to sticky situations? Sure, lots of places don't have such policies and lots of places are also incompetently managed...

It sounds like you'd like other people to be helped by it as well. If so, please think about finding something that appears more reputable than a link to a sketchy looking forum. That only enhances people's skepticism.

Thankfully it's per-depositor per-institution per-category. Basically the easiest way to do this is to open accounts at different banks, but if you just call up your bank and ask how to spread the money so it is all insured they will do it for you.

https://www.fdic.gov/deposit/deposits/faq.html

Fidelity, for example, will do it by splitting your deposits over something like 5 different institutions:

"If you have more than $245,000 in uninvested cash in your account, the Program maximizes your eligibility for FDIC insurance by systematically allocating this uninvested cash across multiple program banks. At a minimum, there are generally five banks available to accept customer deposits, making customers eligible for nearly $1,250,000 of FDIC insurance."

Debt collectors: GWM, BWL

I just saw that the US Supreme Court has ruled that the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act doesn't apply to companies that buy debts.

The Act prevents debt collectors from doing things which would be considered abusive, deceptive or unfair. The companies that buy debt for pennies on the dollar will not be bound by this Act, so they are free to be as scummy and abusive as they like.

It was my understanding that typically withholding would be calculated assuming that you received the current pay period's payment through the whole year, so a raise tends to lead to over withholding...

I don't think there will be any clawing back. These exchanges are live fire asset transaction platforms, there aren't training wheels.

Most US exchanges bust trades regularly. I think they even did so for the flash crash of 2010.

These people are still idiots though. Those exchanges have rules that lay out when they will take action.

If you have an escrow shortage you typically have the option to make a payment to cover it or 12 monthly payments, so him using his tax refund to cover part of it might make sense. As for the massive shortfall (at least relative to the previous year) it's possible the mortgage servicer hosed up and wasn't including his homeowner's insurance or taxes at all in the previous year and this represents the shortfall from that.

Yeah but then his tax refund would be like $4500

"I signed something to share the responsibility for payments so that the bank would actually agree to the loan, but now that the exact situation for which they required a cosigner occurs, I would like to renege. "

What do people think they're doing when they cosign? Do they even wonder why a bank is suddenly cool with giving someone money once someone else cosigns for it? Do they think it's the bank going, "hey family member, is this person totally cool with money? yes? ok, great, your totally unbiased opinion means a lot to us, here's $50k"

Like, I realize this guy is an idiot, but he apparently figured out this was a scam before handing over the money. Surely he had other recourses than paying out 66% more than he agreed to?

Really I'm just curious what the best course of action is? Tell him to take the $300 or take it back?
