1st 2020 at 9:58am. They claim it is not showing up. What should I do?
Wait. If they attempt to collect on the debt again, explain the situation and ask them to send something in writing. Then, write back disputing you owe the debt and enclose your proof of delivery and hopefully a copy of the check you sent.
The abandoned office is in Charlotte NC and was their only NC office. There is nobody here to receive the summons. Their HQ is in GA, where we know the summons will be received. I tried to file but the small claims clerk led me to believe that serving the HQ in GA would be problematic and out of... Read more »

Filed chapter 13 for my house. Another bank gave me a loan to pay what was behind on my house so I ended the bankruptcy without finishing the process or really starting it for that matter. Can I get this removed off my credit report? Filed in NC.
No. The fact that you filed a Chapter 13 and it was dismissed is a public record. This is an accurate credit report and you cannot get that deleted. Fortunately, the fact you filed bankruptcy will have less effect upon your credit score as the years pass by, and your positive credit history will... Read more »

More details are needed. Was this an internet "payday loan"? if so, they are unlikely to sue. If this was a local finance company or a bank, they might sue or they might not. We do not have wage garnishment in North Carolina. If this is an out of state lender they may sue you in that... Read more »

You might possibly be able to get them to give you the car back if you make all past due payments plus pay late charges - but they can legally refuse to agree to do that, and they can demand you pay off the loan in full - just because of missing one payment.

This is too individually dependent on the facts to be able to answer such a general question with certainty. One thing I can say is that if you settle, you may have to pay taxes on the amount of forgiven debt. Debt discharged in bankruptcy is not taxable. Chapter 13 bankruptcy also involves added...

Ms. Kurtz is correct. It does not go by the date the lawsuit was filed. If a new lawsuit to renew a judgment is not filed within 10 years after the date the judgment was signed, the judgment expired. Do NOT pay anything until you are absolutely certain the judgment has been renewed. You should take... Read more »
