My present husband was erroneously added to an Abstract of Judgment against me from my ex husband. Now his sole and separate property which he purchased with inherited funds has a cloud on it's title. The attorney for my ex husband has continuously filed and recorded documents with no legal basis.

There are too many variables and unknowns to give you a conclusive and complete answer, but we can move towards one. An abstract of Judgment is supposed to accurately reflect the terms of the Original Judgment. Accordingly, your first task is to compare the Abstract to the Judgment. If your... Read more »
Record at this point. If I pay them do they go on my driving record? How can they collect after all these years?

They go on your record based on the dates of the citation not the date you paid them. Make arrangements with the collections office at the court.

She kept 0ayi g payments but now the police are. Asking questions is she in slot of trouble

It is fraud, likely felony theft, and possibly perjury. Talk to an attorney fast. Pay the rest of the loan off immediately if possible.
After an OSC, the court ordered the sale of a residence in October. The homestead granted was $75K. If a BK is filed in December and later dismissed in January/February, does the Judgment Creditor need to file a new OSC in order to get another court order - or is the original OSC restated? The... Read more »

the an order is already entered, no further order is necessary. the bankruptcy will only delay but not prevent the sale. You have to take the appropriate action in state court to reverse such an order.
but didn't include it on my chapter 7 (this debt was about a year before filing). 13 years later i get a letter from a german collection agency adding 1000's in fees and they continue to do this. being a us citizen living in california can i disregard this?
what if anything... Read more »

inform them of the bankruptcy and provide them with your bankruptcy information. they are passed the california statute of limitations to collect against you as well.

Small claims is a good option for you.

I organized this Protest at Embarcadero Park in San Francisco last year. I had the event permit and insurance cover. I put a donation box on a table with a note state that the donation is used to cover the expense for the Protest (Permit fee and insurance fee). Now, an hostile organization accused... Read more »

My advice is to just ignore them. Don't engage with them, just ignore them. So what if you asked for donations to help defray your expenses. Just don't waste your time with those people. There is only one exception to this advice, and that is if the complaining party is a public agency... Read more »
Hi, I am in California, I no longer am employed at this company since July, they owe water service bill and never paid after I left, but the company/business water service account was created under my name. I was informed there was mail from the debt collector against my company but also with my... Read more »

If your name is on the account, then the water service vendor has every right to proceed after you to collect its money. You need to force the former employer to take your name off the account, and to pay any money that is owed on that account. Sounds like a good small claims action to me.... Read more »
This pertains to a plaintiff with no legal standing represented by an aiding and abetting attorney.

Now you are mixing sausage and vanilla ice cream. Attorneys don't "aid and abet" that is language for Criminals. The answer is the same, check the rules of court and the Code of Civil Procedure.
Justia disclaimers below, incorporated herein.

You are mixing apples with meatballs. There are rules of court and statutes regarding the timing for filing a motion for attorney's fees, or the judge could set a special time schedule on request. You can look these up on the internet, they are available to the public. If these are missed... Read more »
I was a victim of a felony hit and run drunk driver. He rear ended me on the freeway while I was going 65 mph causing injury. The county commanded custody of restitution payments. I was awarded around $7k in a court order. The county has sent me two payments over a 12 year period totaling about... Read more »

Why would the State of California collect "child support, etc.?" Generally that is paid to the person caring for the child. Maybe a person in your other category "Civil Litigation/Collections" can shed some light on this for you.
If I have creditors after me - will they now go after our home? (California property)

Yes, if you have any property, your creditors may have a claim against it. Tread carefully before adding your name to any asset when you have creditor claims against you. Consult with an estate planning attorney.
Escrow firm says I need to give them acknowledgement of satisfaction form before they pay me on my lien. Doesn't make sense to me to give them a form saying I got paid when I haven't. The person who owes me the money has sent me a check that would satisfy the lien but the escrow firm... Read more »

Pretty standard for an Escrow Company to get documents signed before the deal closes. If you really feel uncomfortable, tell them you want a face to face exchange of your signature for their check. The problem is that the money may not be in the Escrow account until it closes, not now.... Read more »
I'm executor of my father's estate. The funds will be divided among 6 siblings, about $6000 each. One brother is on SSI, SSDI, and Medicaid, in Vermont. If he inherits $6000, he is in danger of losing his Medicaid until he spends $4000. Losing his Medicaid could cost him a lot more than... Read more »

This is a question that needs to be answered by an attorney licensed in Vermont and familiar with its Medicaid rules and regulations as every state is different. There are likely ways he can spend that amount of money down without interrupting his SSI/MEDICAID benefits and/or can create an ABLE... Read more »

4 years on a written contract. If there was a judgment, it is good for 10 years. This could be a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. You should consult with a Collections Attorney in your area.

And wasn't aware a late fee was applied so after making the standard payment I was hit with a 30 day late payment Even though I only didn't pay the late fee

This is not banking, it is Contracts. Contact your bank, see what you can work out. Get out your loan documents and read them carefully, maybe the bank made a mistake. It happens. Negotiate with them to get some relief.

I was living in Stockton at that time and was never served. Just got the judgement through the mail 6/29/20. Judgement is for 16k original balance 8 years ago 8k. Other party will not take less than 10k

Your options are to file a Motion to Vacate the Judgment, settle it, or file bankruptcy (if available and desired). A lot more information is needed in order to properly assess the merits of any Motion to vacate.

Your suspicion seems justified. This has the earmarks of a phishing scam. Since you haven't lost any money it is unlikely your local police department will get involved.
You should report it to the FTC. To do so, forward the message to the Anti-Phishing Working Group at reportphishing@apwg.org.
