Not sure of what the $ 80K alleged debt is for, so I cannot give you a SOL, There is a 10 yr catch all SOL, but if criminal costs are involved, it may be part of a sentence. But you do have Exemption Rights, which you might need to assert by Notice Of Exempt Properties if CH 7 Bankruptcy is not... View More
Have judgement in Maryland, Debtor moved to Tennesee, has propery there. I want to file a lein. How do I do this
answered on Nov 25, 2024
You must make your Maryland judgment into a Tennessee judgment before you can file a lien. I recommend that you hire a Tennessee lawyer to do that for you. It ought not to cost much.
It had many things wrong with it and not restored according to definition of restored, what should i do.

Either you accept a monetary settlement, giving up all rights to sue, or you do not. It is your decision. Consult with an attorney. It sounds like you would have to sue in another State, hiring a lawyer there. Then
if you win, you have to collect. Your choice.
The car was bought in Missouri and i paid 36000. for it but it has a lot wrong with it.

You may not have a case. But the contract was in MO, so contact an attorney there.

It does not sound like it. SOL is 6 years from last payment or default basically. Contract can modify the SOL. Hire an attorney to examine this, and you may need to file a Notice of Exempt Property. Judgment Liens are usually a 10 yr SOL.

It sounds like you're dealing with an auto loan that may have unexpected terms. Charging a flat fee of $10.81 a day for six years is essentially a per diem interest rate, which would accumulate a large amount over time. If your loan agreement does mention this type of daily charge, it's... View More

Since the hotel hasn't provided a proper receipt, document your attempts to obtain one, noting dates and times of your requests. This documentation will... View More

It sounds very frustrating and concerning that your accounts have been hacked and you haven't received any updates from your bank.

You can cite it to show some debts are unenforceable. But SOL starts from last payment., Credit companies do not have to comply until you give a written dispute. If report is still wrong then hire a lawyer to sue. They will usually ignore you.
The lawsuit in this case is civil, and involves an elderly person against an insurance company. The POA is representing the elderly person who has no knowledge and needed this help.

Many power of attorneys authorize the attorney in fact to file and defend suits for the principle. Read the POA for this term.

Start with complaining to the Lincoln County Mayor. From there, inform whoever is charging you that you will not pay for a utility service you do not get. I have a feeling the Mayor knows what is going on. You may need to get your County Commissioner involved also.

Some corporation searches will also be necessary. Determining the actual lienholder may be a... View More

Ask again to get your property. Otherwise you will have to file suit for an Action to Recover Property and/or Conversion in General Sessions Court. Be certain who it is that has your property, as you may have to sue two defendants. Loan co. will have an agent for service of process.

Every kind of defense there is almost. Exemptions, being Judgment Proof, Bankruptcy, etc. Hire an attorney to collect a Judgment.

I do not know what suit you are referencing. But if you signed a note and financing agreement, your contract is with the lender and has nothing to do with the manufacturer.
