File an opposition.

Send fax to defense attorney.

Review the court file and do a motion to set aside judgment.

There are strict time deadlines so that you must file your take action or be forever barred from relief.

Unless a judge orders otherwise, you do not have accept a payment plan.

Use a find a lawyer feature and look for cole room attorneys.

your options are 1) pay the debt, either work out a direct payment or let them garnish you, or 2) file bankruptcy and eliminate the debt if you qualify.

as a general note, the court does not really consider much of your personal financial state when it comes to collections lawsuits unless you fall into a category of being judgment proof. the court will likely allow a judgment against you which means your wages could be garnished and your bank...

Your Claim of Exemption is filed with the sheriff who served the garnishment or levy

You have asked a very good question. The statute of limitations is concerned only with the date that the complaint was filed.

No. But you have to take certain steps like filing a right of exemption and notify the collectors attorney that the funds are social security only.

You don't need to renew your judgment. What you need is to enforce it. You need to find an attorney who does collections or judgment enforcement proceedings/procedures.

Suggest you hire an attorney to conduct the exam and see that the records of the debtor are subpoenaed.

I believe the debt is still subject to the California statute.

I suggest you call the creditor attorney immediately and point this out. If you do not get immediate satisfaction then bring a consumer law attorney onto your team immediately.

if you settled with a collection company to pay less than the debt owed, make sure that settlement is in writing. also note that the balance not paid could be taxable to you so make sure to consult with the person preparing your tax returns.

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.

You need to decide, right now, if this justifies the expense of hiring a lawyer. Time is your enemy. The longer you wait you might lose the right to sue. Go see a lawyer or 2 and see what you will need to spend, and discuss whether a judgment in your favor will be collectable.

I do understand the problem. But without clear title you wont be able to do either of those things. You might look into leaving the car parked on the street, and call the city to tow away an abandoned car.

The best answer a lawyer can give you for the time being, (without the opportunity to discuss the case at length with you and to see relevant document), is going to have to be, "I hope so."

If you sue, you may be able to obtain attachment orders against the various assets by... View More

In general, a co-signor agrees to share liability for a debt with the co-debtor. A default by a co-debtor is often considered a default by the co-signor as well.

You owe them for treating you, UNLESS the contract says that payment is contingent on a successful recovery in a case against the party at fault for the accident.
