A payment is the transfer of wealth from one party (such as a person or company) to another. A payment is usually made in exchange for the provision of goods, services or both, or to fulfill a legal obligation.

The simplest and oldest form of payment is barter, the exchange of one good or service for another. In the modern world, common means of payment by an individual include money, cheque, debit, credit, or bank transfer, and in trade such payments are frequently preceded by an invoice or result in a receipt. However, there are no arbitrary limits on the form a payment can take and thus in complex transactions between businesses, payments may take the form of stock or other more complicated arrangements.

In law, the payer is the party making a payment while the payee is the party receiving the payment.

How to arrange car payments with private owner?
Q. I have very little down payment for car but can make payments. I've seen opportunities on Craigslist but I want to protect myself and handle this in best legal, cleanest way. How is this done?
Asked by Maureen H - Thu Feb 14 16:43:17 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Get a bank loan. or, draw a contract, with yours and their signature. It seems like the liability will most likely be on him, since he has to trust that you make the payments. If youre talking about taking OVER payments from a private party... Most financial institutions look down upon this. There is no contract, you and a buyer can create, with ANY Attorney, that will supercede the contract the original buyer has with the financial institution. The Leinholder will stay on title, along with the name of the original buyer. Your name cannot be added. All parking tickets will still goto the leinholder and buyer. You may be able to get insurance on the vechicle, but if the vehicle has GAP, chances are you will not be covered… [cont.]

Will preauthorize payments with my credit card boost my credit rating?
Q. I want to preauthorize monthly payments on my credit card for my student loan. Will this actually make my credit rating better? Do you think I should do it? I have the money to pay for the payments, I would just prefer the payments to be made on the same day every time. My credit is good, but I would like better credit as I'm planning on buying a house in the near future.

A. The one thing that matters most is that you charge a little something each month and you pay in full when the bill comes in. Carrying balances is what destroys credit and in some cases destroys lives. What you plan to do is fine - If you plan to pay in full every month In a couple of years you could end up with amazing credit. Before you buy a house, make sure your credit card balances are close to 0 as possible. Pay ahead if you can. Check your reports once a year at annualcreditreport.com. Get the score from Equifax.com for 8 bucks. Don't open any new credit 6 months before your home purchase. /

How to have your mortgage payments at a lower rate when shopping for a loan for a property?
Q. What is the tax benefit of home mortgage? Why is there variation in HOA fees? I am looking to have my monthly payments at lowest possible in that range of loan.
Asked by jay s - Thu Feb 8 01:28:12 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The oft-quoted tax benefit of owning a home is the fact that the interest you pay on your mortgage is tax-deductible. For example, if you pay $1000 per month in rent, then buy a home and pay $1000 monthly towards your mortgage, the interest portion of that payment, as opposed to the principal, is tax deductible. This means that, if the interest portion of your payment is $200 monthly, for example, you can deduct $2400 from your income yearly, thus reducing the amount of income you are actually paying tax on. This might not sound like much, but over a few years it can add up, and would be especially beneficial if that final $2400 in deductions lowered your income bracket a notch ;). HOA (Homeowner's Association) fees vary quite simply… [cont.]
