I was served on the 21st, we made the agreement on the 22nd, and I need to file a pleading by the 31st.
answered on Mar 24, 2023
You need to file some sort of pleading, which I would suggest be an Answer, so that the loan company cannot seek a judgment without your being aware of it. Also, if you have the finances at this time, I suggest you contact a lawyer and ask for a 30 minute consult to discuss this case as well as... View More

In some states, a judgment can be renewed indefinitely as long as the creditor continues to... View More
is it just the Restrictive Covenants that must recorded with the Clerk of Court?
Thank you very much,
answered on Feb 7, 2023
In answer to your question, I contend it is just the covenants which are required to be recorded with the Clerk of Court. On the other hand, if the HOA has non-recorded rules and regulations, then it certainly should notify new property owners of its existence and have some sort of mechanism to... View More

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.

A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Check the terms of your loan documents for any provisions relating to arbitration being a condition for repossession. However, without knowing more, the short answer to your question is "yes." Good luck

What kind of belt is it that it needs? Is the vehicle an old model? There does not seem like a valid reason for your vehicle to be in the shop for 9 months. Is there any more information you can share that will help provide an answer to your question.
