Hi, I describe my issue in my other question about the Gym.

They are refusing cash because I have an automatic draft – and they dont take pre-payment.
So I asked if I could pay cash on the due date. They said no. Is this a violation of Federal Law?

It is a DEBT, correct? It is also a service I am receiving before, while, and after payment so doesnt that violate the law?
BTW, they stated that they dont want to step on their “billing company’s toes”

Hello. My company (a credit union) is interested in bring in a high school student for an unpaid internship with our accounting department. She is under 18 and a Canadian citizen. She noted that she cannot apply for a Social Security number until 18. Until then, she is under her father’s (a U.S. citizen) number.

She’s only worked for her dad, thus hasn’t needed to apply for a work permit yet.

We normally do pre-employment background checks on all candidates (requires a SS#). What is our responsibility as the employer in this situation?

Thank you. Any links to legal requirements would be helpful.
