I unknowingly breached the contract. The new tenants paid the three months, but due to Covid they managed to stay 2 years after the lease without paying. We then went to court. The judge ruled in their favor. Now, the apartment is asking me to cover the rent owed. I am not able to pay it. The... Read more »

It sounds like you are going to need to consult with a bankruptcy attorney to see if you qualify to file chapter 7 bankruptcy and wipe out the debt.
answered on Sep 7, 2022
yes. a judgment can be renewed every 10 years (forever) until paid or possibly discharged in bankruptcy.
The cost of fixing these issues is over $20,000.00. One issue was with the flooring. We found out that there was a letter that wasn't included in the sale about how the owners had fixed the floor themselves and it was messed up. Our realtor did bring this to their real estate agent and they... Read more »

Send a qualified written request and ask for a full accounting from each mortgage lender you have. Once you have the paperwork consult with a real estate attorney.
The mortgage has not been paid since he passed. And the tenants just received a foreclosure notice. The property needs more work than it’s worth but I spent so many summer days there and it has great sentimental value of the property. How can I stop it from being foreclosed on and not have my...

You need to consult with a probate attorney. Because there was no will, the laws of intestate apply (ie property goes to grandpas kids, then grandkids, etc). Talk with a probate attorney if there is anything that can be done if grandpas kids won’t sign away their interest.
The company says the invoice was hacked and they paid the wrong people. They said they got some of the money back and would pay us but then stopped communicating with us without returning any money to us and now won't respond at all. Contract was initiated in CA but the large company's... Read more »

there isn't a question in the post but if you're trying to ask what you can do, you can sue for breach of contract. You can do it on your own or hire an attorney. You likely need a business litigation attorney or a litigation attorney familiar with breach of contract cases.
I refinanced my 1st mortgage and HELOC to consolidate debt almost a year ago. I found out a few weeks ago that the HELOC was not closed even though I was charged the fee to close it. The HELOC servicing company sent me a letter threatening me that they would force home insurance on me if I did not... Read more »

Take all your documents to a real estate attorney. You need a professional to review all of the documents to properly advise you.
I have a estimate of $5,000 debt, back rent of $8000 and a car loan I'm still wanting to continue to keep. I can't catch up on my rent or debt. I'm a single mom with my only income. Should I file for bankruptcy?
answered on Jun 28, 2022
On the surface it sounds like you may qualify. You will want to consult with a bankruptcy attorney to go over specific income numbers, debts, and assets. Most offer free consultations.
I never have filed for bankruptcy and I'm thinking I need to. I need to know if this is the right thing to do. I also owe back rent and would like to know if that would be included?
answered on Jun 27, 2022
Try calling and speaking to bankruptcy attorneys. Most offer free consultations.

There is barely any information stated here that would allow to an attorney to guess what form would apply. Please restate your question and provide more detailed facts.
Do I need a lawyer to help with a foreclosure

Maybe. Maybe not. There are not enough facts to determine what type of attorney, if any, you
At need. Try consulting with an attorney and get real answers after discussing your specific situation.
Claims he gave me the down payment which he never did. It’s in my name. Do I need to go to that state or does he need to sue me in the state I live? Personal Jurisdiction?
answered on Jun 22, 2022
The lawsuit is generally filed in the state the property is located in.

This sounds like a scam. Debt collections send you written notices. They rarely call. Also if you only have ssi, you may be judgment proof as debt collectors cannot touch ssi.
There's no contract or agreement..
They were talking amongst themselves and I knew something was not right. Tech and the assistant manager apologized and told me that I would have to give them a moment so that they could discuss what happens with district manager.

I bought a SFR in August of 2021. Market was really hot back then and I ended up offering 50k over asking price for a property that looks good from afar but was remodeled without permits (kitchen, added a 4th bedroom) plus converted garage to an ADU and nothing was done to code. The sellers nor... Read more »

Unfortunately you admit that you were informed during escrow and before closing and you decided to proceed with the purchase. That means that you had knowledge and cannot claim failure to disclose. In other words, litigation will cost you quite a bit and you are not likely to succeed given the... Read more »

if you only get ss, creditors cannot collect from you, assuming you have no other assets. you would benefit from consulting with a bankruptcy attorney to go over your assets, income, and expenses. there's not enough information to give you proper specific advice.
