Small Claim/ Civil Garnishment: If a creditor gets a judgment against a garnishee for failure to comply (not filing a garnishee answer), and the garnishee pays judgment in full, Can the garnishee then go after the Debtor for these funds?
answered on Jul 26, 2022
It's possible. The proper thing to do when paying off a Court-ordered debt is to have the judgment creditor sign a Satisfaction of Judgment and file it with the Court.
That said, if you have a record you made the payment, you should notify the Court right away that you have paid it and... Read more »

You are wise to be thinking about this proactively. The federal law that prohibits lenders from calling the loan due when the borrower dies applies to traditional homes and also "residential manufactured homes", so the answer depends on whether the home is a "residential manufactured... Read more »
I know they will probably demand it but say they didn’t and the vehicle was totaled the first week and had no collision insurance. Is there a gap time or would the dealer be responsible for some of it
answered on Nov 15, 2021
A customer is required to have full coverage insurance on financed vehicles prior to departing the dealership with the vehicle on the day of purchase.
U-Haul still wants to charge me for stolen vehicle and who know what else.
I want to know what is the first best route to start this legally. Should I arbitrate or go to court...based on not much experience.
answered on Aug 13, 2021
An Arizona attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. There could be provisions in your agreement that address arbitration. Some contracts have clauses that require arbitration over court - some contracts do not have such clauses. Good luck

I am rephrasing this question as the answer I received didn't answer what I was asking. I owe restitution where I am responsible to pay 10% on all income towards it monthly. Are student loans considered income that would be required to pay 10% on? Example, I just took out $1250 in a loan to... Read more »

The restitution order is separate and apart from any personal debts that you might have. The PO is responsible for collecting the restitution in accordance with the judgement issued by the court, and enforcing any other conditions ordered by the court. The repayment of personal debts is your own... Read more »

It depends on the type of business you have. You will need a license and registration with agencies.
Consult with an attorney.
Loan company was paid 19k from insurance. Deceased person left remaining balance of 1k due to late payments. Company asked for death certificate to pursue the executive of state but insist that I am liable for the remaining balance.

There are 2 areas of law here. If you co-signed for the loan, you are jointly and severally liable, which means they can come after you, as well as affect your credit score. Sorry for the bad news.
I recently rented a car, and typically before you get the keys, you sign a rental agreement. I was not asked to sign any agreement, am I still obligated to pay without signing an agreement?
answered on Oct 1, 2020
An Arizona attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for two weeks. As a general premise, signing an agreement has evolved from what it meant in the past. Digital keystrokes on a computer or other device have attained the same legal force as a traditional signature left by a pen on... Read more »

If your mechanic ordered the engine from a dealership and it is stolen at the dealership while in their custody, the loss is taken by the dealership and they would need to order a new engine.
