He can "Try" all day long. However, due to the BK and most likely the Statute of Limitations on collecting original debt, he has no legal standing to collect via judicial proceedings.
Send him a "writing," instructing him not to contact you again, and he must stop, by law.

On the assumption that the puppy is valued at less than $10,000 … first, schedule an initial free consultation with an attorney by video call or telephone call … then, you will want to file a small claims court action as soon as possible.
It was a Visa prepaid Debit Card the card itself and the store policy says specifically that this item can be returned if unopened with receipt and within 90 days. Which I had all three.

Yes, if the Tow Yard knew, or should have known, of a risk to property in its control/possession, or if Two Yard failed to take "Reasonable" steps in storing a vehicle, the Tow Yard may be liable.

MORE INFO NEEDED.
IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN INJURED THE POLICE WILL SAY IT IS CIVIL.
IT IS NOT MY AREA OF LAW AS YOU ARE INQUIRING ON A PI FORUM.
YOU WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO GO TO LEGAL AID OR FIND A PRO BONO LAWYER.
HOWEVER, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO STAY THERE?
Had knocked down to the floor and go ER for examination.
Any claims that I can file against the bank?
more info needed.
if you are talking about the bank i would think when you leave the establishment their liability ceases...however you could make that argument.
i would never take a case like this but some lawyer might.
Do I have any rights as a consumer to receive my money for completing a job. I was told the individual that works as the accountant took the money that was suppose to pay for the truck therefore not paying me for a job I completed. Need your help...thank you in advance.
If you were an employee, you can file a claim with the Labor Commissioner in the state where you were hired to do the job. If you were an independent contractor, you can sue in Small Claims for up to $10k (in CA). You would sue the person who was supposed to pay you, not the accountant.
I was rear-ended in a car accident where my car suffered minimal damage (rear bumper had to get replaced) but my injuries were still significant (severe whiplash). Ultimately I was treated 23 times (19 PT sessions and 4 dr visits/urgent care). The claims adjuster does not believe my 19 PT sessions... Read more »
Is it even worth it is the question, the costs are going to be more than the case is worth at this time.
Do the small claims case on your own if you wish or just settle and offer the doctor half his bill and show him what is the offer.

more info needed.
because of your financial situation, i doubt you can find a lawyer, as they would want to handle it on an hourly...not a contingency.

I'm sorry for this terrible experience, given your disabled condition. A California attorney could advise best but your question remains open for four weeks. If you have medical documentation of the sickness/injury you suffered here, such as ER visit or doctor examination, gather them and see if... Read more »

Perhaps. You have the right to use reasonable, proportional force to defend yourself and your property. Penal Code section 198.5.
At the time you struck the boy, you were not engaged in self-defense. He was fleeing and you chased him down. You were meting out punishment. Whether there... Read more »
I used a credit card that is no longer active to make a purchase. Some time later I needed to return the item and contacted Amazon to see if I could have my refund routed to another car. They proposed to send the money (1.300.00) to a gift card.
I asked for them to guarantee it would not be... Read more »
Small Claims is a good option for a $1,300 claim. Or you could contact the credit card company to find out what it can do about the money that was refunded to your card that is "not active". Unclear what that means, by the way. Is it a card you don't use, or a card that you formally closed the... Read more »

My grandmother passed and left the deed, leaving the home to her son and nephew, unsigned. Since then her son has collected 12,000 from the teanats and has only payed 6000 toward the mortgage.

An unsigned deed does not convey legal title to property and does not qualify as a Will. A probate will be required to convey title from grandmother to her heirs at law, typically her children and quite possibly her son. Since her son does not have title to the property, he cannot evict a tenant... Read more »
I did pay him cash so I feel like it would be hard to sue him. I originally paid him 1,5000 about 6 months ago. I want to take my truck and money back but he seems reluctant to even talk about the situation.
Sure; in America anyone can sue anyone else at any time—even without a lawyer in small claims court. Winning the lawsuit is another matter. If you decide to sue you should be prepared to pay the filing fee and then pay another hundred bucks or so for service of process. Caveat: If a court of law... Read more »
