It is very hard - if not impossible - to get out of student loans/student contract agreements.

For example, student loans cannot be discharged even through Bankruptcy proceedings. Further, Louisiana law is clear that in contract disputes, the contract signed by the parties is the law... View More

You need to immediately discuss this with a lawyer in your area. Depending on when the judgment was signed you may have some appellate rights. If the time period has passed for you to exercise those appeallate rights then you have an option or two but it depends on what happened which would best... View More

Your contractual interest is limited by statute. This is "business owner 101". I recommend that you retain an attorney on a professional basis to take a look at your invoices and contracts to ensure that you are complying with Louisiana law, and to be your "go-to" guy when you... View More

Technically, they have been hired to the full amount you owe so they can refuse anything less than that. It isn't practical, but it's likely legal. I would send in the payment anyway. They will likely process it as that is cheaper than taking the time to mail it back to you. Good luck.

You are asking an online attorney to give you legal advice for someone else's benefit. That's the unauthorized practice of law, were someone on here to do that. I recommend that your friend retain an attorney.

This is a state law agency question, not really a bankruptcy question. However, it appears, from the facts you laid out that the operations manager likely was the owner's agent and therefore authorized to sign contracts on behalf of the business. For a better answer, however, you should... View More

In Louisiana, if your wife purchased a vehicle solely in her name and it's repossessed, she would generally be responsible for the associated debt. Louisiana's community property laws might have implications if community funds were used to make payments. If you cosigned or have joint... View More

Based on these facts you may have a valid lawsuit against them. Consult with collection defense attorneys.

You may want to review the court file to see how they claim you were served and file a motion to set aside the judgment.

You don't ask a question here, just offer up a few facts.

Apparently, however, you are having debt issues. Imho, you have chosen the most expensive way to deal with those debts.

I strongly advise you to consult with a professional about your entire debt/asset/income... View More

The title company's job is to clear your title prior to the conveyance. If there is no judgment lien prior to closing, it may not get paid and released. Then the creditor would probably try to collect from your bank.

You can hire an attorney and see if the attorney can work out a resolution of your case with the suing party. Please note that since you have been sued and served with a citation, you have a certain period of time in which to respond to the lawsuit or the suing party can seek a (default) against...

Basically, yes, yes, yes, however a person who represents himself might also be considered a fool. That said, at a minimum, I would seek a consultation with a lawyer--pay him for 30 minutes ----1 hour of his time to obtain advice and suggestions on what to do/how to do it if you are intent on...

if you have a copy of the lien, then you should contact a construction lawyer or perhaps a collections or real estate lawyer and find out how long that lien is valid. Once you are aware of that, then you can decide how to proceed.

You should contact a lawyer and provide more information to the lawyer, such as what type tickets, the status of the tickets, where and who issued the tickets, and what you are trying to accomplish at this time. Good luck.

More information is needed to answer this question, such as why do you or anyone else believe you are responsible for your father's debt? You should consider hiring a lawyer to defend you----the entity suing is represented and very much willing to take advantage of a non-represented person.

If you fail to respond timely, then the creditor will seek a default judgment against you so please make sure you handle this timely. If you have the resources, I would contact an attorney in your area---collections or general practice---and discuss this matter with them, obtain your options and... View More

1) File an incident report with the bank,

2) File a criminal complaint with the Sheriff.

They should give you one. Hopefully, you are paying by check so the check is your receipt.
