As the previous answer suggests - you NEED to sit down with a bankruptcy attorney and discuss your situation in specific detail including how much "equity" you have in your home.

Q: So I was at my ex boyfriend house I woke up my car was stolen. I had just purchased the car my title was in my car
Hopefully you had insurance. Since you had the title you must have paid cash. That usually means the "market value" of the car is less than you paid unless you had replacement insurance. The police may find it and hopefully not damaged too badly.

Q: I have a question my landlord lost the house he still wants us to pay him the rent . What can I do he's not the owner ?
When you say he "lost the house" do you mean the bank foreclosed on him? If so then don't pay him. Wait for the bank to contact you most likely through a real estate agent. Unless someone bought the house through a foreclosure sale - then they should contact you. But if the owner/landlord still... Read more »

The penalty for not having insurance is that you can only get your car fixed and your medical bills paid and possibly a wage loss claim. That is of course if the other party caused the accident. Now DMV might have some punishments for you and the police may issue a citation as well..

We did not file complaint at airport or seek immediate medical help (person injured... Read more »
I agree with the previous answer. You will have a hard time finding a lawyer to take the case on a contingency. The airport's insurance carrier doesn't want to pay you anything and they will argue that if someone gets really hurt they seek medical attention right away. They will say "how do we know...
