A Minnesota attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Reputable companies won't usually hide accounts - but one option could be to consider using an investigator; or discuss with a Minnesota attorney about possible legal options. Good luck

No, it does not de-legitimize the speeding ticket. The two issues are completely unrelated. There may be a legal issue with the speeding ticket, but this is not that issue.

The cases can be more complex than more straightforward cases, such as collection actions, where a boilerplate... View More

y wife has a whole life life insurance policy which we only just found out about. Her mother who passed away in 2006 took it out in 1996. Her mother took out a loan whist my wife was still a minor 3 years before she passed away. My wife didnt know about this. Does she owe it?
