If I owe debt under my C Corporation can they come after my personal assets?

March 27th, 2010 3 comments

Our company is a startup, about 3 months into operation, but are already swimming in about ,000 of debit ( ,000 loan, and ,000 credit card ), the problem being we made a few costly mistakes in the beginning, and thus here we are today.

My main full time job, is cutting payroll by almost 50%, so instead of making 00 – 1500 a month, now its less than 0. I cannot pay my current debts off. I’m already enrolled into a personal debt collection management program.

*** Here is my question ***
1. As a C-Corporation am I personally protected from the business debt? Meaning if say the business owes X amount of dollars, they cannot harass me or try to take my car or house or w/e to pay off the funds.

2. How do I go about explaining to them? Should I file for chapter 11 bankruptcy.. but at the same time I’d like to save the company somehow, I just can’t pay off this debt.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you!

Are these some of the hidden ‘costs’ of Obamacare (per the Wall Street Journal?)?

February 15th, 2010 3 comments

Here are some of the groups on the menu if anything like the existing Senate or House health plans become law:

• Young people. If the government mandates that everyone must have health insurance, healthy young people will have to buy policies that don’t reflect the low risk they have of getting sick. The House and Senate bills do let insurers set premiums based on age, but only up to a 2-to-1 ratio, versus a real-world ratio of 5 to 1. This means lower prices for older (and wealthier) folks, but high prices for the young. “They’ll have sticker shock,” says Rep. Paul Ryan, ranking Republican on the Budget Committee.

• Small Businesses. Employers who don’t provide coverage will have to pay a tax up to 8% of their payroll. Yet those who do provide coverage also have to pay the tax—if the law says their coverage is not “adequate.” Amazingly, even if a small business provides adequate insurance but its employees choose coverage in another plan offered through the government, the employer still must pay.

• Health Savings Account (HSA) holders. Eight million Americans, according to the Treasury Department, are covered by plans with low-cost premiums and high deductibles that are designed for large, unexpected medical costs. Money is also set aside in a savings account to cover the deductibles, and whatever isn’t spent in one year can build up tax-free. Nearly a third of new HSA users, according to Treasury figures, previously had no insurance or bought coverage on their own.

These policies will be severely limited. The Senate plan says a policy deemed “acceptable” must have insurance (rather than the individual) pay out at least 76% of the benefits. The House plan is pegged at 70%. That’s not the way these plans are set up to work. Ray Ramthun, who implemented the HSA regulations at the Treasury Department in 2003, says the regulations are crippling. “Companies tell me they could be forced to take products off the market,” he said in an interview.

• Medicare Advantage users. Mr. Obama and Congressional Democrats want to cut back this program—care provided by private companies and subsidized by the government. Medicare Advantage grew by 15% last year; 10.5 million seniors, or 22% of all Medicare patients, are now enrolled.

The program is especially popular with those in badly served urban areas and with those who can’t afford the premiums for Medicare supplemental (MediGap) policies. A total of 54% of Hispanics on Medicare have chosen Medicare Advantage, as have 40% of African-Americans, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services at the Department of Health and Human Services.

These plans tend to provide better coordinated and preventive care, and richer prescription drug coverage. But Democrats dislike Medicare Advantage’s private-sector nature, and they have some legitimate beefs with its unevenly generous reimbursement rates. This week Mr. Obama told the Washington Post that the program was “a prime example” of his efforts to cut Medicare spending, because he claims people “aren’t getting good value” from it.

That’s not what others say. In January, Oregon’s Democratic Gov. Ted Kulongoski wrote the Obama administration expressing his concern about its efforts “to scale back Medicare Advantage” because the plans “play an important role in providing affordable health coverage.” He noted that 39% of Oregon’s Medicare patients had chosen Medicare Advantage, and that in “some of our Medicare Advantage plans . . . with proper chronic disease management for such conditions as heart disease, asthma and diabetes, hospitalization admission rates have declined.”

The 6 billion in Medicare Advantage cuts over the next decade proposed by Mr. Obama will force many seniors to go back to traditional Medicare at greater expense. A new study for the Florida Association of Health Plans found that because Medicare Advantage plans have richer benefits and lower deductibles and copayments than traditional Medicare, seniors in that state would face dramatically higher payments if forced to give up their Medicare Advantage plans. Cost increases would range from ,214 a year in Jacksonville to ,714 a year in Miami.

There are reasons that Blue Dog Democrats in Congress are leery of their party’s health-care reform plans. Many are in districts or states carried by John McCain, and they worry about the political fallout when these groups realize they will be paying for health-care reform.

They also know that every government entitlement winds up becoming a money pit. In 1965, Sen. Allen Ellender (D., La.) dismissed promises that Medicare would be a modest program to save seniors from bankruptcy. “Let us not be so naïve as to believe that the Medicare program will not be increased from year to year to the point that the government will have to impose more taxes on the little man or else take the necessary money out of the Treasury,” he told colleagues.

Ellender was right, and
Ellender was right, and his warning is even more relevant in our era of skyrocketing deficits and Medicare costs. The only way the House and Senate health plans can pass is if the costs they impose on vulnerable parts of the population continue to be hidden.

February 14th, 2010 2 comments

My husband and I are currently in a financial nightmare. We’re able to pay our bills and cover basic necessities, and that’s about it, since for the past 8 months he’s been either unemployed or under employed (construction industry took a huge hit this past year). My father in law (husband’s step father) is a small business owner, who’s also been struggling. Around August, he decided to shift the focus of his business from residential electrical contracting, to home theatres/audio/visual; something my father in law is not proficient in, but an area where my husband is well skilled. At the time (august), my father in law’s company was over 500K in debt and facing bankruptcy, and he asked my husband for help. I was present for the deal that was set between my husband and father in law, this was what was agreed upon-

Since my husband and I were able to keep our heads above water, and my father in law’s business was having trouble just making payroll, and to bring in revenue he needed to switch gears from electrical (which is tanking faster than the housing market) to home theatres/etc (which was remaining stable), we agreed that my father in law could pay my husband for the work he would do (training, installation, trouble shooting, bids, etc) after payment was received from the customer. Fast forward 6 months later, we haven’t received a single payment, and do to unforseen complications (car troubles, medical bills), when we asked for a measly 00 to pay our mortgage(versus 22 weeks of 40+ working hrs unpaid) we were denied, and treated pretty poorly, even though because of my husband’s work, the company has been able to pay off 0K in debt in 6 months, and even though this christmas my father & mother in law rewarded themselves with a brand new 00 TV. Some harsh words got exchanged, and needless to say, my husband is no longer doing any work for my father in law. and we were told, point blank we would "never get" our "f****** money".

I just want to know this- what woul you do in this situation? Of course we’d love to get the money that’s rightfully ours, which realistically is about K, we were only looking to receive K (do the math, we were giving them an unbelievable deal anyways taking /hr when this job pays an average of 20$/hr… because we thought families are supposed to help eachother out) but I really don’t see that happening, and we’re not willing to sue for it. We’d really just like an admission they were wrong, some remorse, and an effort to make right by it, if not in a monetary sense, then some other way. All communication has stopped, and before it did, they showed absolutely no signs of feeling that anything My father in law, his company and my mother in law did was wrong. What would you do? how would you handle this?

Owns a $3 Million Home, drives a $90K Benz convertible and says shes bankrupt…?

October 9th, 2009 1 comment

I was a senior faculty at a well known university and due to my connections was able to place my dept students as internees with a well known health care company. However recently these internees were placed as ‘junior research contractors’ , which means the health care client payed a vendor company and that vendor company paid me ( after keeping a neat profit ) and I paid the internees handsomely with tuition reimbursement and stipend , after keeping a small sum for myself as profit.The profit per intern was not that high but due to more internees I placed, I could make a decent gross profit.
I had to run the internees payroll in advance every 15 days though , I was supposed to be paid every 50 days by this Vendor company.
It was the 1st timer for me in this contracting territory. All looked good initially , until the 1st payment. I could not get any further payments from this vendor.
She gave me personal reasons that – she is undergoing a divorce and her assets are frozen for the moment but all will be well later on.
I reported this to the Company Manager who called a meeting with myself and her. He assured me that his lady , called Kathy ( from the vendor company ) was very dependable and I should be getting my money, later on , no worries. Kathy looked like any other ‘business blond’ wearing full pant suites, tried to charm everyone and even visited these interns and got them expensive gifts. So everyone only had to say good words about her. Later on, when no payments came from Kathy’s company , I reported it again to Bob ( that Manager ) and he said he really could not retain Kathy’s payment.
Only later did I realize this was all a set up. That Bob and Kathy had more than business relationship. I cut short their internships , after receiving nothing but the 1st payment from Kathy and later I sued Kathy’s company, after she ceased all communication with me and would’nt return my calls. Bob too , started appearing evasive and told me not to disturb him.He said he paid 0K to Kathy. I was running a 100K loss with Kathy. She filed chapter ( I don’t know… 7,9,11? ) bankruptcy and gave the judge a 130 page memo explaining her stance.It looks like I was not alone, there were others also in the same boat. But she still lives in a Million palace , by the canyons, in CO . What should I do to recover my money ? Does anyone know an adept lawyer in CO , who could squeeze money out of these fake bankruptcy slimes ?
How should I approach this ..?

question about filing for bankruptcy?

September 9th, 2009 2 comments

-Have owned a franchisee for 2 years (it’s a corporation, INC)
-Have maxed one credit card under the business name (which is also personally guaranteed)
-Have borrowed money from personal credit cards
-Owe Employee, Sales and Quarterly Taxes
-Owe Royalties
-I am one month behind on lease

-I can’t run the business anymore and I am completely out of money to try to recover. Every day the business is open is putting me more in debt. I don’t want to fall behind on payroll.

I spoke to personal Bankruptcy lawyer. He suggested to either file for personal bankruptcy since the business credit card is also personally guaranteed (so all the business debts will roll over to personal anyway) and involve my spouse.

The lease of the shop is under the Franchisor name. I am just a subleasor.

We are doing the paperwork now. Can I just close the shop down starting January 1, 2008? to avoid getting more in debt?

What are your opinions? What are the pros and cons of this?

thank you for your help!

My father has a small dry cleaning business that is failing. What can he do to get out?

My dad owns a dry cleaner that is losing money. He wants to get out but no one wants to buy the business. Right now he is losing money on payroll and on his lease. He can not declare bankruptcy because he does not owe anyone except his credit card companies money. What can he do?
