It sounds as though you may need to file bankruptcy but you should discuss with a competent bankruptcy lawyer as to your options before you decide.
I received proceedings supplemental in May of this year for $9000 the original judgement was for $6000 dollars. I had no idea about the judgment as I was never served papers and never notified of any judgement against me. Will I be able to fight the interest accrued?

Their argument will be that they have provided you that value in services. You should go to a new lawyer. Exercise your due diligence before you go--seek referrals from your local or statewide lawyer referral service.

When an improvement (e.g., that shed, or a house built on the property) is made to real property, it often becomes part of the real estate, i.e., a "fixture". When that happens, a conveyance of the property normally includes fixtures.
Your state's laws determine what might... View More

Unless you exempted the house, it was transferred to the Ch 7 Trustee when you filed the Petition. At time you surrendered your interest to the Trustee. A secured lender's foreclosure was not against you personally as you had already discharged your debt. If you did exempt a homestead... View More

There is no criminal conduct in what you described. Cease all communications with them. There is no money to refund.
I moved out of my apartment after I broke up with an ex a while ago. He stayed. I forgot to take my name of the lease and he can't keep a job, so now the creditors are coming after me. They've garnished my wages and now I can't afford food or gas. Please, what can I do to fix this?
answered on Jul 29, 2021
File a chapter 7 or Chapter 13 to terminate the garnishment.
The debt is not on my credit report. I go to the court and actually meet with lawyer for Discover who asks some questions. I think they are just trying to keep the debt refreshed. What happens if I don't go? Or should I contact them? We have no money.

I know each filer has $400 allowed in the account, but can we exempt our tax refund with the wildcard exemption?
answered on Jan 9, 2021
If you use the Federal exemptions, and do not use the "wild card" on other property, yes.
And pursuant to Indiana Code Title 34. Civil Law and Procedure § 34-55-10-2(c)(11), your income tax refund should be exempt as well.

Doing your own Chapter 7 is roughly equivalent of doing your own appendectomy.
