I was contacted by a law firm representing US Bank. For a credit card that was open in 2005 and payments made on it until 2008. A balance of 5000 was never paid. I have no recollection of this.

it is likely past the statute of limitations but an attorney would need to review what you are receiving and get more facts to further advise you.
I am part of the CWA Frontier CA. We do have a contract but I have a civil case against Frontier CA that all the actions within that Civil case are in the contract. Frontier has placed my case in the bankruptcy. I have been searching to have the dismissal of my inclusion. Any help is appreciated.
Unless something is missing, your case will not be omitted from the bankruptcy as the debtor is required to include all creditors, which includes you.
We need help with how we should word the motion filed to withdraw vs dismiss or what to call it? What is the best way to go about doing this to be 100% sure we are not responsible for the defendant's attorney fees and can the defense come back and try to sue us after we either withdraw or...

you really want to have an attorney contact them to try to get some money and then when they say no, to ask if I can get them to drop/dismiss the case, we would want a release agreeing that each side shall bear their own costs.
if they know you are going to give in, then they may not agree... Read more »
only you can answer that question. a lawyer cannot tell you whether or not to take the deal, especially a lawyer you have not hired and doesn't know the facts. so you have to make a decision of what to do. depending on your financial situation, you may qualify for a bankruptcy and wipe out...

My chapter 7 bankruptcy was granted discharge in may. I have a property that is under exemption/protected. I also had to turnover my 2020 tax refund. What does this letter mean?

You certainly do have options. Talk to one or more bankruptcy lawyers to explore those options. If you are informed that bankruptcy is one of those options, you can probably make all the debt go away, even the lawsuits.
A tenant claiming civil code 1708.7 sent a notification requesting to terminate the current lease due to domestic violence. However, this is a commercial lease and not a residential one.

You would want an attorney to review your commercial lease documents and the letter the tenant sent you. I would suggest to start with searching for a real estate lawyer who specializes in forming and reviewing commercial lease agreements. I hope this helps.

However, she should speak to a... Read more »

We will receive an invoice for the settlement agreement (~10K), but I don’t know who they’re sending it to.... Read more »
Unfortunately, even though all of you are on the lease, the landlord can seek payment from any one of you. Since you all signed the settlement agreement, you are all responsible for payment.

Your son should have insurance to cover these situations. In any case, as long as you didn't guarantee the lease or anything else in the business, as long as your son's name is not on the title to the house, or as long as your son's name is not on the mortgage, then I don't see... Read more »
This is if both the defendant and attached business are named in the settlement. There would be a stipulation for entry of judgment attached to the settlement. The concern is the defendant defaulting and possibly filing bankruptcy prior to making payments.
More information is needed to determine how a bankruptcy may affect the settlement.
Once the defendant files for bankruptcy, whether it be personal or business bankruptcy, an automatic stay is generally issued. The automatic stay may legally prevent you from enforcing the settlement or... Read more »
