How do you set up a savings account for friends to save for a holiday together?

How do you set up a savings account for friends to save for a holiday together?
There are 12 of us planning a trip and would like to set up a bank account so that each of us can save by direct debit each month to give us a lump sum for spending come the trip. What is the best way of going about this
Personal Finance - 7 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
You can try online banking such as smartypig.com to save up for a goal. Or you can just use your bank and direct deposit into that account.
Answer 2 :
Don't even think about it! Each have your own account. There will be issues with bank charges for unpaid dd's, someone will end up short of money and miss a few payments etc. And the bank will insist that one person at one address is ultimately responsible for the account - they won't send out 12 statements or 12 copies of a bank charge! The person responsible can end up with their credit rating affected if another person bounces a few dd's. EDIT - Well there you go - another reason for not doing it! Steven points out that you could all suffer if one person causes problems. (Thanks Steven, I didn't know that was the case.)
Answer 3 :
This is a crazy idea. Just let everyone save (and spend) their own money. There's no way you could have an account with 12 signatories, which means only 2 or 3 of you at most would be in charge of the account. It just is not worth the risk and hassle if they decided to do something stupid, compared to what you gain (nothing as far as I can see) of saving jointly.
Answer 4 :
The best way is NOT to combine your savings. you should each save your OWN money individually. When you are ready to leave for the trip, you can put all the money in one account for easier access if you want. Calra B. The bank will only sent one statement to one address, but they will hold ALL 12 liable even if 11 had NO CLUE there was an issue. SimonC: The bank WILL allow 12 signatories. That is the problem. ANY of the 12 can create liability for ALL 12.
Answer 5 :
You apply for an TIN number from the IRS as a Hobby Club. Then you start saving. Otherwise one of you uses their SSN but that person gets hit with paying taxes on the interest. 12 people will be putting quite a bit of money in that account.
Answer 6 :
I would each set up an account each and then combine the money at the end. There may be problems setting up an account when you all live at different addresses plus what happens if there any charges etc. If you do set up a joint account make sure you put guards in place to stop one person taking all the money out without permission from the rest.
Answer 7 :
This is a very bad idea, for many reasons.

Closing a bank account: Can the bank send a check of my outstanding balance to my current address abroad?

Closing a bank account: Can the bank send a check of my outstanding balance to my current address abroad?
I am writing to my bank requesting that my accounts be closed. As I am now living abroad and no longer returning to my previous address in the UK, is it possible to request that they send a check of my outstanding balances to my current address overseas? Are there any regulations preventing them from doing so? If it cannot be completed, how should I deal with my account balance? I can no longer access my online banking either.
Personal Finance - 2 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
No, there are no regulations under the Banking Act that prohibits this transaction, simply write to your bank and present a positive identity and there should not be any problem.
Answer 2 :
There are no regulations preventing this, but they may be very wary. They may prefer to send an electronic transfer to an account in your name abroad. This is to prevent fraud. Each bank will have its own peculiarities, so best call or write to find out more. You may need to be creative;- For example withdrawing the balance before seeking closure. Or transferring the money to friend who then forwards to you, etc.

Answer 1 :
Only the YA team can DELETE your account. Closing your EMAIL ID deactivates the YA account, but you also lose everything attached to that email account. After 4 months, the YA profile WILL disappear. But ALL Q&A from that profile are still visible & searchable on site. IN VOTING or RESOLVED Q&A remain the property of Yahoo. The safest thing to do is: First, click your avatar and: ► Delete open questions and answers to open questions ….(Others will remain on the site) ► Remove all Contacts Then click 'Edit My Preferences'. There: ► Blank out your avatar, nickname and 'About Me'. ► Close links to Yahoo Profile, IM and/or email. ► Disallow fans. ► Set Network and Q&A to private. Then just leave.

Can I use the same Xbox Live account on two different Xbox harddrives?

Can I use the same Xbox Live account on two different Xbox harddrives?
I have two xbox harddrives and am thinking of hacking one for online hacks. If I do this for one harddrive (hacked one for private matches only) can I still keep a normal account on my other harddrive?
Xbox - 4 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
if you try to sign in on another console with xbox live it will ask to download your gamertag and de-register it from the other box, and the same will happen again on the next time you try to log in on the other xbox. basically you can only register your gamertag on one xbox at a time, or it will keep de-registering its self
Answer 2 :
You can't have you gamertag on both consoles at the same time. You have to recover it each time. And if you don't want your gamertag banned for the hacks, I'd suggest just making another one.
Answer 3 :
The only possible way to do this is to have a memory unit for your xbox 360. You can then transfer your profile off the harddrive onto the memory unit which should only be between 30 - 40mb. You can then access your xbox live account on different harddrives. If you dont have a memory unit then the only way is to recover your gamertag over xbox live each time you switch harddrives.
Answer 4 :
You can get 12 Months Xbox LIVE Gold Membership absolutely FREE at: http://www.xboxlivefree.co.uk/

What is the best fixed rate savings account currently available?
My nan is looking to put aside some money (approx £20,000) & we are looking for the best rate. She would like the account to be with a well known provider & she would not need to make withdrawals in the short term (1 or 2 years). The best ideas we have so far are Abbey/Bradford & Bingley which do 4% but with monthly deposits necessary. SAGA have one at 3.5%. Any recommendations please... Thank you!
Personal Finance - 1 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
Don't be swayed by answers that are really adverts in disguise. (see above). Check out fixed rate bonds on the Net. Make sure that it is covered by the FSCS Financial services compensation scheme. This means that if the building society goes bust, and none can claim total security these days, although they all will, the British Government guarantees your money up to £50,000. ICICI Supersave has the best rate today. They are covered by the FSCS but they are an Indian Bank, and if the Indian government offer a higher protection, they must pull out of the British protection. This is a worry as any guarantee is only as strong as the government that gives it. For complete peace of mind go for one of the big names.

Answer 1 :
Keylogger virus. It tracks the keys you press and saves them. :\
Answer 2 :
Keylogger. they can potentially send EVERY piece of vital information about your computer and what it accesses to someone.
Answer 3 :
Most people have a "System" in the process of making passwords and sometimes it is possible to make "Logical" guesses and hack the password. Other times it may be due to Trial and Error( by the hacker) entering of Known Common Passwords. For example many people use the word, "Password" as the password or if the PW must be a minimum of 6 characters so the password becomes-- "123456". Many people use their pet's names which can be very common, Fluffy, Buffy, Scotty,Scout, Spot, Lassie and so on...If the person who hacked you account knows you personally--then they can try to figure out your Personal System or they may know specific details such as Birth dates, Parent-Sibling names and so forth. Major Events become PWs too. The recent Tornadoes and Fukushima incidents are good examples. Suddenly, a lot of accounts have "Fukushima" or "Tornado" as the Password. Names of Celebrities and Characters from TV/Movies and Pop Culture are common Passwords. As suggested a keylogger could have been used but most hackers are out for Financial-Banking- Soc Security numbers and etc. They probably will not mess around with a Game Account(which is not to say it's impossible--more or less unlikely). A password cracker electronic unit can be used but most websites automatically will shutdown the account if 'Brute Force"(which that type of hacking is called)is used. In your specific case--it could have been a good guess or maybe even a logical Guess based on your User Name...For example if a person is a Huge Fan of Pokemon---then Popular characters names might be used.."Jiggly Puff, Ash Ketchum and etc. As a precaution you might want to use another computer and change your other account PWs.(in the event it is a keylogger ) Sorry about your experience and glad that it was resolved. I hope this helps.
Answer 4 :
It could have been a key-logger or maybe through security questions, a friend of mine hacked mine through those.
Answer 5 :
if you have entered the account on a shared computer recently then probably the computer you used had the key-logger program which tracks what your typing if not , then maybe because your using the same password for more than an account , maybe one of your other accounts was hacked and now your account in Runescape is hacked too because the password is the same

People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
Contact your bank or immedietly drain the money by transferring to another account in fear of losing cash.
Answer 2 :
That's on every check you write so you're getting into a panic about losing a paper with it on it? If your bank pays anything out without your authorization it's their problem.
Answer 3 :
Well, when you consider it is at the bottom of every check you write, there must not be much one can do with it unless they are very clever, then you go to the bank and they start a fraud investigation.
Answer 4 :
With this info they could kindly deposit money into your account, but that is very unlikely. You get the same info printed on every check you write. Edit - they probably couldn't deposit money after all - they would need your name too, and even that is on every check you write.
Answer 5 :
Pretty much what last 3 people said. It is on every check. I suppose if you are worried you could close it and open up a new one or see if the bank will put a warning on your account.

no the direct debit would be set up for one of your acounts it would have nothing to do with the other accounts
Answer 3 :
Yes
Answer 4 :
You better move that money out of that account fast. The bank can surely take it by legal means if in your bank agreement states such. Remember all that fine print no one ever reads when you opened the account, and get in the mail now and then? We'll, if there is language in there that says to the effect that in the event of default they can debit your other accounts, and charge you a fee, then they can. They will also prob jack up your interest on that loan to a "default rate." You'll have to go back and read the fine print or open an account at another bank, withdraw cash and or write a check to that other account fast. You may also want to explore getting some immediate legal advice to deal with the bad loan.
Answer 5 :
Yes, a bank can take what you owe them from any of your accounts with them. That is why it is better not to have all your a/c in the same bank.

We were in a similar situation this past summer. My husband and I moved our money to another bank. We have no paper trail to link us to that bank.

Then try to negotiate a payment procedure with your bank..AFTER you've moved your money.

Answer 3 :
In yahoo mail beta One option is that 1) choose either of one of your yahoo mail account as primary and which uses often and login to other yahoo mail account, secondary which you uses less often and Go to Options on right top, select Pop & Forwarding, Select Forwarding, write down the other email address,primary one to which you want these emails to be forwarded whichever come to this account. So u can check all the emails in your primary yahoo mail account only. 2)Now login to your primary yahoo mail account and Go to Options, select Filters,Click Create filters,Go to To/CC header section and paste your secondary yahoo mail address and give filter name as your yahoo mail id without @ &.com and choose folder and same to ur filter name, so as to remove confusion. So all the secondary email id mails will be seen in a folder and not in inbox of your primary yahoo mail account.. so that it will remove clutter and mixing of mails of different accounts. 3)Now login into your primary yahoo mail account & Go to Options and select accounts and select create accounts and follow instructions & add your secondary email id..and confirm it...So that you can compose emails so that you will have option to select from which id you want to send email...... I hope so...it will take time but saves a lot of time latter so that you need login into your other yahoo mail account.... But do login into your secondary email account once in a month or so to check any mails which are in spam box..which might be useful
Answer 4 :
Assuming UK Yahoo Mail is no different from the US's, ck's answer was correct up until recently when they started requiring you to upgrade to the "Plus" version to access the POP & forwarding options. Just another reason why I switched to Live Mail...

Answer 1 :
Just call up the bank or pop into a branch and do it in person
Answer 2 :
The easiest way is Paypal! You and the recipient need to have Paypal account. After the money is transferred through paypal, then again da cash is tansferred to you Bank account.o you Bank account.
Answer 3 :
The Spanish bank account number is just part of the IBAN (International Bank Account Number). Your bank will be able to help you find out the whole of the IBAN (since you already have most of it, on the bill you want to pay). Then your bank will able to make the payment for you, and use the IBAN to make sure the money does not go to the wrong account.
Answer 4 :
Don't think that you can make an International Bank to Bank payment online. I know you cannot with Barclays. You can do an International Transfer, from any Branch of your Bank. You will need proof of ID, as well as your account number, the account number of the receiver, and also the IBAN/BIC numbers of the receiving Bank. http://www.bankers-telenet.com/en/glossary/iban-bic-swift-code/
Answer 5 :
Basically it all depends on Who you bank with in the UK and Who you bank with in Spain. Costs, charges, exchange rates and commissions will all apply here and can vary greatly between Banks >> http://www.tumbit.com/blogs/1428-currency-exchange-our-online-payment-platform.html

How do you transfer an iTunes account to a computer without iTunes?

How do you transfer an iTunes account to a computer without iTunes?
Sorry, does that make sense? The deal is, I had an existing itunes account with songs and things on my laptop. But then the laptop broke, and I want to transfer all the songs to another computer. All the songs are on my iPod, so I was thinking I could just sync it up. But this computer doesn't have itunes. What should I do? Well, what should I search for then? That answer really wasn't helpful. I already searched for it but can't seem to find the correct keywords or phrasing for my problem.

What's the difference between an Islamic bank account and a 'normal' account?

What's the difference between an Islamic bank account and a 'normal' account?
I've seen Lloyds offer Islamic bank accounts and just want to satisfy my curiosity.
Religion & Spirituality - 5 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
Islamic accounts can't have any lending involved or earning interest.
Answer 2 :
It limits the amount you can borrow, I think. It's Shariah approved :D so you don't have to go to hell for borrowing too much.
Answer 3 :
This question's been asked before and the answer makes sense. Hope this helps. Cheers, Steve http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090613044806AAVwdZX
Answer 4 :
To be Sharia compliant, a bank account must not offer or demand the payment of interest. Obviously banks are quite happy to keep anyone's money without paying them interest, but they won't loan money without payment of some kind. In order to get around this, technically the bank doesn't loan money, but instead it buys the item for you. You rent the item from them whilst saving up in your non-interest account until you can afford to buy it outright - usually but not always at the original purchase price - from the bank. Obviously this is just a form of words, but it's enough to get around the interest problem by calling it rent. So the change of wording is enough to satisfy Muslims, but in reality it should be no different to paying interest on a loan. One possible difference could be that if the bank did buy something that increases in value - a house for example, when you'd saved up enough money to pay off the original purchase price there would be nothing to stop the bank insisting that as its value has gone up, they will raise the price, despite the fact that you've already been "renting" the item from them.
Answer 5 :
Further to previous answers Islamic account holders also pay lower charges if they overdraw.

What should a good set of first year company accounts show?

What should a good set of first year company accounts show?
What should a good set of first year accounts for a Ltd Company show? Ideally profitablity but this is rare for a one year old company. Other then that - is it sales? Or a commitment by the executive directors to the company by taking lower salaries or investing their own money and thereby demonstrating their long term dedication to the company? Especially from the perspective of a potential investor or client - what would put you off or attract you to a company on the strength of their first year accounts?
Investing - 2 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
If I were a potnetial investor I'd want to see steady growth in revenue, diversity in revenue streams, capital expenditures, and yes reasonable salary expenses. Profitability wouldn't be as important, especially if the cap-ex is there. Probably the biggest thing that would turn me off is struggling revenue and an overall lack of creativity
Answer 2 :
Just steady growth , a first year is used to establish a company , by the end of that year you should have a solid customer base to work from and accounts would show a probable future income rather than a possible one . The commitment you describe would very probably be seen as clinging on in desperation to a failing business by any potential investor , successful companies do not depend on personal sacrifice to stay in business .

Use the Filters in your email to filter out what you don't want and if one does get through just press the spam button and it will be moved to spam every time you get one from that sender.
Answer 2 :
Since more than a week quite a few users have reported the same problem, it seems to be a new way of spamming, where once you accept the connection, the user posts the link to a pornography site. Be very careful, since such websites have been known to plant all sorts of malware on your harddrive! What you can do is this: 1: Go to "My Activity" at the top of this page, click "Edit My Preferences" -> click "Privacy and Communication". Scroll down and click "don't share my updates", hit submit. 2: On the mail screen click "options", at the top of the list unmark "enable updates", click "save changes" at the upper left. That may not stop all requests immediately, but it will slow them down considerably!
Answer 3 :
Here are several suggestions----that, "In most cases, should" stop them. Use whichever one works for you (or it might take all three) Just disable "updates" in your mail settings. Mail page>>options>>mail/more options>>>>>AND UNCHECK the button next to "enable updates". Then click "save changes" at the top of the page. You should also go to your Pulse page, and UNCHECK "share my updates"----then scroll to and click "save" (bottom of page). http://pulse.yahoo.com/y/settings/updates *************************** Another suggestion I found (from the Yahoo Answer Team): Mouse over your Hi Name (top left), and click on "Profile" to open your Pulse page.

Answer 4 :
google delete facebook and the link will be there i have done it
Answer 5 :
Go to your account settings and click on deactivate account. Ir contact facebook to delete your account permantly.
Answer 6 :
This very point was covered by "Computeractive" Magazine (it's a UK computer magazine) in the issue of 19. March - 1. April 2009 (p43). This is what the magazine said: (1) Got a Facebook account and want to get rid of it? For most people, the first step would be to click the Settings button on the Facebook menu bar and then click on the Deactivate link at the bottom of the settings list. However, this doesn't actually remove the account - instead, it puts it into cold storage, preserving all the settings and personal information in case anyone has a change of heart. Lots of people don't fancy the idea of having that info tucked away somewhere, just in case. (2) To completely delete a Facebook account, use the browser's Back button to return to the main Facebook page and then click the Help link. When the page opens, type 'delete' into the search box at the top and then press Return. After a moment, Facebook will display a set of instructions that explain what to do and what happens to the account. Read these carefully and then proceed by clicking the 'here' link at the end of the paragraph. (3) At the next screen, click the Submit button to continue and then at the next screen, type in the password associated with the account that's going to be deleted and then type in the required capture words. This is now the last chance to cancel. Still want to delete the Facebook account? Click the Okay button and after a moment the Permanently Delete Account dialogue box appears. Click Okay to finish up. Note that Facebook still retains the data for a further 14 days. Don't log on during that period and on day 15 the data gets zapped - forever. That's what "Computeractive" Magazine said about deleting a Facebook account. I've never been on Facebook, so I haven't tried these instructions, but I have been told that they do actually work. "Computeractive" advice is very reliable. Best of luck.
Answer 7 :
Login to your Facebook account, click Help Center on the bottom right hand corner. You will then be taken to Facebook Help Center Page. On the search field, type "delete account" then a list of FAQs will come out. Find "How do I permanently delete my account?" and click to expand. Then click on the last word on the second paragraph and follow the steps from there. (for some reason, I can't post an active link here) After going through the deletion process, it will take another 14 days for your account to be completely and permanently deleted. Do not login during those 14 days, on the 15th day your account will be gone permanently. Spread the word. Ridding the world of Facebook, one account at a time!

Answer 2 :
use paypal, or a credit card don not simply transfer money
Answer 3 :
You can do it from your bank, but there's a fairly hefty fee, we're talking $25-50. Try asking if they will accept Paypal. If so do a Google Search for Paypal and you can join up in about ten minutes.
Answer 4 :
I have just done that a week ago.You need the details of the German bank account that you want to put money into.Name of the account,swift/bic number or name.Iban number,konto number and address of the German bank.Your bank will do a direct transfer at a cost of about £25 and it takes up to 4 working days to clear the funds .My transfer was with HSBC
Answer 5 :
Hello, (ANS) No.1 You could obviously pay by credit card if the company in question offers that facility to customers. No.2 You could pay by wire transfer which you can arrange through your bank (but they may charge you a fee for the privilege of this process). No.3 You could pay by Euros (as in draw the exact amount in sterling cash at your bank and then have the funds converted into a Euro cheque by your own bank) This is a good method because it ensure the safety & security of your funds. No.4 You could pay by sending either Euro bills or German Deuchmarks bills (paper money) This is the most risky way to send funds. I have done this myself but only with low cost items I wanted to purchase in the US, you should send funds very carefully packaged and send them by swift airmail so they are insured & tracked. The post office can tell you all about how to use swift secure airmail. Hope that helps? PS:- Germany being in the EU will accept euro currency of course. Kind Regards Ivan
Answer 6 :
First get swift code of your German account from your bank,each branch have unique code. now use that code and German account number for e-transfer
Answer 7 :
If you have their full details(name, bank and account number, SWIFT and IBAN number), you can complete an International Transfer Form at a branch of your bank. You need proof of your identity. You may find the cost of this, and the postal charges being more than the item's value.

It all depends on where you are and what sort of company, and if you're self employed your client base. The best money is in the central london / city companies, I know a guy in London at a big firm who earns about 150 K (after 10 years), he works about 60 hours a week though. I know a guy from uni who stayed up north and works at a much smaller company, he's on about 40 K but loves it up there. I also know a guy who works as a public sector accountant and earns about 40 K but with a 35 hour week. It's a huge industry.

Careers & Employment - 6 Answers

Answer 1 :
Turning up on time, staying on until job is done if that means staying late, making suggestions for improvements, taking on extra tasks
Answer 2 :
the people that pay you want value from you in order to pay you more
Answer 3 :
Acting like you care, or even really caring and taking an interest in the well being of the company you work for, really caring, is noticed by employers and rewarded with promotion and responsibility. It's actually a very apt question, in my opinion. You manifest this by finishing jobs not just saying whatever and leaving things undone right at 5 PM - and by noticing things that may need fixing and bringing them to your supervisor's attention.
Answer 4 :
To show commitment and motivation at work shows ,that you care , about the job, and are focusing and working hard, motivation - getting early to work, doing the work , quickly, not talking alot commitment - getting the work done quickly , coming in everyday , coming in early Its very important , to do this it shows your the person sutied to the job, you can do the job, your a reaiable person , your running the business well , which is really important to keep its standards always running.
Answer 5 :
I think the best way you can show commitment and motivation towards your work is to "BE THERE". Let's face it, if you're not where you are, then where are you? When it's time to play, play. Likewise, when it's time to work, work. Emotionally invest yourself in it. Demonstrating commitment is easy...look for opportunities to improve things, be a problem solver. Why should you do this? There are the financial rewards that usually go along with a job well-done, but more importantly what you're doing is developing a strong reputation and that's priceless. Really BEING WHERE YOU ARE is an important character trait to have. It will help you in every aspect of your life and make you the kind of person that other people want to be with.

Answer 2 :
If you want to avoid unnecessary politics, open your own office. Politics in the workplace are unavoidable, unfortunately.
Answer 3 :
Unfortunately there isn't an organisation that is void of "unnecessary politics" politics - as in power struggles is par of the course. It always is when money and ambition and control are involved. Newer organisations tend to have less harmful unpleaseant power struggles but i find that they tend to develop within a year. Dealing with politics is a skill in the same way that being a team player is. Being able to deal with team dynamics effectively as a colleague or a leader is a form of politics - you have to negotiate, be tactful, sometimes be forceful and sometimes tow the line. It sucks sometimes but thats the real world.
Answer 4 :
Every workplace in the world, no matter how big or small, has office politics. Where human beings are together it's unavoidable. The trick is to learn them fast. What makes organisations good to work for is not just the salary and benefits package, but the actual relationshps with colleauges. If you don't all manage to get along (and that doesn't mean you all have to be bosom buddies) then it can make for some very long days. Learning the politics is the key.
Answer 5 :
Go back to school and become a Doctor! No really, look into the "Think Tanks" - organizations that do stats!keep records,predict outcomes,etc.. A meticulous,competent.team player needs to work where the pace is busy,accurate and fills a need.Good Luck in your search - maybe you should consider ITT Teck - p.s. try the government - consumer ministry,stats ministry of your country.

Answer 7 :
Is that possible?
Answer 8 :
that's up to your own initiative and that will prove if your meticulous and motivated! go for it and good luck
Answer 9 :
Some would argue all politics is unnecessary. In my experience there are two kinds of politics that go on in companies - the type which is open and understandable and the type that is done through insecurity, spite and for general issues related to dysfunctional people and organisations. Oddly enough the company that declared to me 'there is a lot of politics going on here' was the easiest to work with because the politics was out in the open. Those that say 'there is not politics here' will turn out to be full of power players and back stabbers. Or that is my experience. All companies are dysfunctional to some degree, it's more about the attitude of folks you work with. Usually the bigger the company the bigger then chance for the company to be dysfunctional on an ingrained level. The best way to avoid politics is to find a good, balanced small company with a sensible growth rate - that and take your work with a pinch of salt. Most jobs make no real difference to the world so it's not worth getting to worked up about, unless you happen to be a doctor or something that directly affects people...

We were with Barclays and although their personal banking side is ok at best.Their business banking is shameful. I have spoken to 4 other people who report the dismal service and poor customer relations .And one was a large accountant firm.Not to mention the bureaucracy of this company.
