Q&A: How can I get out of a home improvement contract?
Basicly, We signed a contract to have our home waterproofed. (late money night after 3 hours of yappin)… I was uncomfortable then, and still am, and basicly felt pressured into it because “its for the safety of our children”.

Q&A: What is the tax rate for independent contract labor in Texas (federal and self-employment tax combined)?
I recently started working for someone who owns his own business, but I’m considered independent contract labor or a “sub-contractor.” I have to file my own taxes quarterly, and I need to know what percentage of my checks I need to pay for taxes. I live in Texas, so the only taxes I have to pay are federal and self-employment. Could someone please tell me what the total percentage is?

Question: Breaking a installation contract with Home Improvement company before installation date is determined?
Are there any comments about breaking a contract with a home improvement company after the 3 days they give you to consider? Reason is my financial situation has irreparably changed. They say I can’t cancel, but I don’t see penalties. I appreciate your help. Thanks
Thank you for your comment. They indicate that I HAVE TO proceed because the items were custom measured.

Do I have to? Actually, I cannot! So I don’t know what they will do.

Q&A: Can I cancel a contract to have a home improvement company install cabinet door?
I have signed a contract to have a home improvement company install cabinet doors, they gave me 3 days to break the contract which I did not do. Now my finances have been destroyed, and I cannot proceed with the project. I cancelled the project before they gave me an installation date. They say that I HAVE TO proceed. Do I have to? I can’t. I have paid no money so far.
