Is there a statue of limitations and can my license be suspended again
answered on Apr 16, 2015
If this is a ticket that you didn't pay, the fine along with all the interest, penalties, etc has likely been handed over to the Franchise Tax Board. They usually are pretty good about hounding people (e.g. seizing tax refunds, etc). I would expect that you'd have to pay off the fine,... View More

You should go get something called an assignment order through the courts which forces the employer to hand over their income (i.e. accounts receivable) to you. It looks like Code of Civil Procedure section 708.510 is a good place to start.

He stopped making payments on the loan a year ago and refuses to pay! Other family members knew of this loan. What do we do?!
answered on Apr 16, 2015
You'd have to sue. The good news is that the brother was paying up to a year ago. Hopefully your other family members will get involved and be witnesses. Hopefully records of the brother's payments exist in some form. The mere fact he made payments should hopefully prevent him from... View More
I dont have his financial information. He owns a furniture store and it is a corporation so he is one of the owners. I heard that if he is self employed the writ of execusion based on his wage is not the best way to get my money back. Is this true?
answered on Apr 16, 2015
A wage garnishment assumes the target receives a steady wage (e.g. is a W-2 employee). If the target is self-employed, a wage garnishment doesn't work. If you don't have the target's financial information, have you done an order of examination? Have you sent out subpoenas to banks... View More

I have a judgment against the owner of a rental property. The tenants has been served with notice of a rent garnishment. They claim that the property is in need of repairs which the owner has failed to remedy. May the tenant legally withhold funds to pay for the repairs?

If the tenant is entitled to repair and deduct, she/he may do so regardless of the garnishment in effect. Repair-and-deduct procedures apply in very limited circumstances as set... View More

I dont know where is the lawsuit from it has my name, case #, county, and date filed
answered on Dec 19, 2014
So, you know the case number and the county in which it was filed along with the date filed? You have to go back to the courthouse in that county to look up the case file itself and review the papers in there. It will most likely be a county in which you lived or did business in previously.

A woman owes me 100,000$ (i have a contract that she signed). I want to know how i can make her sell her house so that she can pay me. I also want to know how i can get a lawer.
answered on Sep 4, 2014
Laws for these type of procedures vary from state to state, but probably you would have to sue the person for the money, and get a judgment. Then, once you have a judgment, you can go about enforcing the judgment, which would include levying on nonexempt assets of the judgment debtor. You can find... View More

answered on Jun 24, 2014
We really need some additional information. Assuming, however, that the loans you are referring to are mortgages against your home, then you probably signed a Note and a Mortgage. Although the Court Order sets the responsibility between you and your Ex, it does not affect your obligation to the... View More

Yes, they can because you still had an agreement with them. This doesn't mean you can not work a deal out with the second or bankrupt the debt. The other issue is if you have no debts that they can go after then let them sit. They can't take anything from you and after awhile they... View More

Unfortunately, the general answer is yes. However, if you contact the State they will work out a payment agreement with you so that they will revive your licenses. You should contact them and be prepared to show your present finances.

No they are not required to remove the negative reporting unless there was an agreement in writing. However, they have to report the matter as settled, resolved or paid

Some creditor is trying to collect a 12year old credit card debt that's not even on any of my credit reports
answered on Nov 23, 2013
The statute of limitations is generally four years. It can be extended on certain occasions but 12 years is too excessive. I would challenge their claim.
