I'm sorry to hear that you're facing this situation. It must be frustrating to have your attempts at settling the debt directly denied. Since the collector insists on garnishment only, it's important to understand your options.

Can you? Of course. Keep all your evidence. Don't keep it on your phone in case the phone gets lost or damaged. Write down as much of the details as you can remember now. Dates, times, etc. This will help you later.
I was in an accident died the person at fault, same judge sent me to prison(which didn't transport me) to the 3 hearings scheduled and later made the judgement on me to pay their attorney fees? What should I do? 16k $ is too much to pay

Make arrangements to pay the judgment (1) in full; (2) in installments or (3) file bankruptcy on all of your debt.
I signed up with Verizon, got 2 free phones from them, stayed with them 9 months, the days I signed up, I was never told that I had to pay for my phone in case of leaving, I decided to move to another carrier, I went to verizon store asked for transfer pin that was needed for the new phone carrier,...

The contract you signed with Verizon was a service contract which included the price of the phones. When you transferred carriers, you still owed for the phones. It doesn't matter what anyone told you, it's the written service agreement that counts.
When I tried to pay them there was this ridiculous amount they requested as a minimum and wouldn't allow me to pay what I could at the time.
answered on Oct 20, 2024
I don't see anywhere that you asked a question. You are correct - they are not going to accept as a minimum payment, anything that you can pay. A minimum payment is the minimum required for your account to remain current, or to not progress to the next step in the collection process. If you... View More

Impossible to tell you what you should do now because nobody online can read your motion to dismiss, nor plaintiff's opposition to it. The best course of action would be to consult a Nevada attorney for help or representation. A motion to dismiss tests the legal allegations of the complaint,... View More

First, review your contract carefully to ensure there are no ambiguities about payment terms and whether the contractor has officially breached the agreement. If you have documented communication about the due payment and the amount owed, gather those records. A polite but firm email reminding them... View More
HOA filed against me, I satisfied & they added more fees after, filed another case in a different court & I misunderstood what I needed to do. So second judgement granted. Income over the past 2yrs 1/4 of what it should be and I am drowning. I would prefer to avoid BK.

Without knowing where you live. it's not possible to answer your question. Your best option is to talk to a local bankruptcy attorney who can advise you of your options. Most offer free consultation.

A lien was placed on my bank account for personal pretty taxes, to which the communication was sent to an address I am not associated with at all so I had no knowledge of the lien being placed against me.

To dispute the personal property taxes, you need to gather all relevant documentation that shows the vehicle was not registered during the period in question. This could include proof of non-registration, your current residence outside Virginia, and any relevant records showing the car was not in... View More
They refuse to give me any information and they said I have to pay using a vanilla pre paid card and they only use email to communicate
answered on Oct 4, 2024
No legitimate debt collector requires you to pay by a pre-paid card. Scammers do that so the payment cannot be traced. Block the sender and ignore any future attempts by these lowlifes.
I have a points program with Bluegreen. I have been paying down the loan and kept yearly fees current. I still owe a good portion of the loan. I have rarely been able to use my points before they expire due to family and work time restrictions. I have also recently developed solar urticaria, and... View More

You may sue the police, (or the city) for the value of your car and your personal property that was in the car. Small claims court might be a good place for your suit. There are strict time limits and notices that must be given to a governmental entity before you are allowed to sue it. You will... View More

I am being sued by a creditor. I received a check in the mail and wanted to know if the creditor will have access to those funds even if I cash it at a check cashing company and not my bank?

The best place to cash the check is at the bank it was drawn on, but you'll will generally need two pieces of identification to do so.
Want to cash a personal check written out to me but I currently have a lien on my assets. I have nothing but a bank account and a job! Will my check cashing be intercepted? Even if it’s not being cashed at my bank?

If a garnishment has been served and is has not expired, it would not be safe to cash a check.

It sounds like you're in a difficult situation. If you had an agreement with the other person to trade services, but now they are demanding money and holding your car, it could be a breach of the original deal. It may not be legal for them to withhold your car, especially if you didn’t agree... View More
