Canada can not negotiate for Quebec to stay. How would you a prime minister restructure Canada to prevent other provinces from also leaving/declaring independence?

Quebec separating isn’t a likely outcome in the foreseeable future but if it was to leave then the govt would be powerless to prevent others leaving as its a democratic country and if the will of the people wants Independence, it will happen.

It seems useless to try to negotiate with people who do this. How can I make them lower their outrageous expectations?

walk away. You cannot successfully negotiate unless you are willing to have no deal.

What would be a good strategy and goal price for a truck like this?
I have 4000 $ cash and a trade-in with the value of 1500-2000 $. Excellent Credit.

we need more information for instance what are you negotiating with? do you have a chunk of cash? if so you can buy a car or truck for 5 percent off msrp. If you are financing a vehicle you have nothing to negotiate. You may get a few hundred off , but the dealer makes his money on all that interest you are paying because you are not paying cash.

Or maybe like %10 or %20 off the asking price?

it depends on the owner, not the website or the car. Just how desperate is the owner in getting rid of the car. In other words, how many problems does the car have? That’s the only reason why people sell used cars.

"May I ask why you are selling your car, sir?"……..Yes, because, I bought another one."

Is it better to try and negotiate with the credit card company or the collection agency? What do I say to try to get them to lower the amount or to remove it from my credit report completely as if it never was?

Once a debt goes into collections, the credit card company has written it off and no longer cares.

You can try offering the debt collector a percentage of the debt if they will agree to remove the debt from your credit file. Tell them if they remove the item, you will pay them, say 50%.

Get everything in WRITING and accept no verbal agreements.

Keep in mind, they can remove the fact that you owe money, but the late payments will remain on your credit file. Given time, these reduce your score less and less.
Good luck.

The knee cracked, went to the hospital, got all the paper work and police report. Here only for the summer to work. now apparentely can not work anywhere until it heals. Is it possible to settle with the car insurance company for certain amount of money without getting an attorney involved. i know approximately how much i would accept. how do i negotiate it with them?
the other person with me got her neck broken, and taken on the hellicopter to another city. not sure what is going on with her right now….

You DO NOT get more money if you have an attorney. In fact, you will get less since most attorneys will take 1/3. The adjuster will offer you what the claim is worth.

Anyway, you do not say where the incident occurred. I assume that when you say "the knee cracked", you may have sustained a fracture. If this is the case, you MAY be tort eligible. The threshold requirements do vary from state to state. A fracture usually allows you to pierce the threshold.

If the loss occurred in a No-Fault state, the vehicle that struck you may have Personal Injury Protection coverage(PIP). This coverage will reimburse you for your medicals and lost wages(usually just a percentage of the expected gross). This coverage pays regardless of fault.

Once you have stopped treating, the adjuster or you, will secure all of the supporting documenation. The claim will be evaluated based on the nature and extent of your injury, treatment, disability and permanency, if any. If you have any liability, the evaluation will be reduced by your own comparative negligence. In some states however, even if you are 1% liable you are barred from recovery.

You can submit a demand for what you feel the claim is worth, and wait for an offer. Continue to negotiate with valid points, not just "I want more for my injury". You need to prove to the adjuster why you feel the claim is worth more. Remember the adjuster knows what your claim is worth. This is what they do for a living.

I’d still need a 36 month payment plan. I can only pay each card a good faith amount of say $20 in January. I have been out of work for 6 months. My debt exceeds 70K. How do I get them to stop from charging all the fees and interest? Did I mention I haven’t spoken with my credit card companies in 6 months. How will a partial settlement be listed on my credit report?

I’m sorry about your job loss, I’ve been there and I know how that can knock you down.

It’s very important in these situations:
DO NOT give them access to your checking account. Yeah, they will agree to only take out $20 on the phone. Then they’ll completely empty the account. Oh they will sing a song about how they would NEVER do such a thing, because they are so reputable…don’t believe it. These collectors get a hefty commission on every dollar they get from you.

ALWAYS cover your necessary expenses first. Groceries, heat & lights, rent / mortgage, car. Don’t send your gas money to the credit card companies, you’ll be in a real pickle then.

Get anything you agree to in writing. Send them ONLY cashiers checks and use certified mail. Keep these documents in your permanent records. They know most people do not keep a proper paper-trail on these matters and they often try to collect again years later.

Having said that, first you’ll need to get some money together to make a settlement offer. It’s unlikely they will accept a settlement contingent upon a 36 month payment plan, they will want cash in full. If you can’t do that wait you have enough money to make an offer.

As far as your credit goes, it will most likely be listed as a charge-off that has been settled.

I know that withdrawing from Afghanistan wouldn’t appease them, but can we ever negotiate a stable peace with Al-qaeda?

Well, there is no right or wrong answer but what i can tell you is that i am in Iraq right now and have been for the past 10 months, A peace between a group of extremist? I don’t think so, there is a reason why they have there mind set in killing innocent people nothing we do will change that. The people here in Iraq are between a rock and a hard place, either they help the insurgents to kill Americans if not they are killed and if they do and we catch them they will be killed so it’s a lose lose situation. Most of the people here just want to live there lives peacefully with their family’s, were just in the way, it’s a matter of time when we leave this country will go into a civil war it’s inevitable, look at the past country’s or even ours. But yeah this "war on terrorism" that bush started has no happy ending if any. Also on a quick note i’m a die hard Democrat i don’t know but i think u have to be border line retarded to be a republican or even follow them, the only thing i don’t agree with is this health care over haul if i ain’t broke don’t fix it. PEACE!

Does this sound right? How do most companies charge for this?

You don’t need to waste one penny to hire a company to negotiate debts. Any company that you might hire will have no more power to get a settlement than you do. Your creditors are not obligated to take any settlement from any firm you might hire.

Email or fax the creditors your own settlement offers. They’ll either accept the terms or they won’t. Keep the communication brief and to the point. Avoid using any lengthy form letters that are legalistic and/or threatening in tone. Example letter format:

I am the executor of my father’s estate and I am willing to resolve this matter for 33% of the original amount if your firm will send me a letter on your letterhead confirming that this debt will be "Paid in Full" once this amount is received by me. Upon receipt of this letter, I will remit a money order for this amount.
———————–
If the accounts are still current (not in defaults), then don’t be surprised if they don’t give you a settlement.
- Your best shot at a settlement is when you have the cash to pay the entire amount up front. Get all terms in writing first.
- Stay away from any debt settlement firm that promises to cut your debt in half. They have you deliberately default on cards…if the process fails, the estate could be sued.

I am curious to know what you think about the US supporting one side or the other and forcing these two parties to negotiate and resolve this war over who gets Iraq and it’s land and oil? And what is fair to the losing party, Shia or Sunni?
And if the US could use diplomacy to bring about an end to the fighting, what steps should we take dimplomatically? Not Militarily. How do we get these guys to sit down and talk? By Armed force? By ….? what means do you suggest.
Especially interested in answers from those of you who are so vocal about bringing our troops home now.
I am discussing a Non-Fiction Ovel called "The Shia Revival" for those of you who are NOT answering the question.

Please…looking for intelligent answers.
Novel. Not Ovel. sorry.

They can’t answer because they don’t even know which group we’re supposed to be sympathizing with.
