DATA has apparently liened up some of the debtors property. The debtor sought to strip the creditors lien off his property but the court denied the motion to do so.
None of the credit cards are in my name but I am an authorized user. I was unemployed for the duration of our marriage.

Technically, yes, but it really depends on how much the gift was and whether you are in a 100% repayment plan or not.

Ms. Lipan's answer is correct, I think, as far as it goes.
Yes, for bankruptcy purposes (and some Indiana state laws), the amount you receive for your interest in property needs to be the fair/market value (and be able to prove that).
But there is another field of law to... View More
Can they do anything to me about my debts and should I file bankruptcy?
answered on Jun 30, 2022
It sounds as though you may need to file bankruptcy but you should discuss with a competent bankruptcy lawyer as to your options before you decide.
I received proceedings supplemental in May of this year for $9000 the original judgement was for $6000 dollars. I had no idea about the judgment as I was never served papers and never notified of any judgement against me. Will I be able to fight the interest accrued?
