This account was compromised in 2006 I closed the account with the negative balance of around $350. The account was charged fees bringing the account negative $465. Bank of America is suing me for over $4k. Isn’t there a Statute of Limiations in NJ?
In New Jersey, the statute of limitations range from four to six years, depending on the type of debt. Once the statute of limitations is up, the debt becomes known as “time-barred” debt.
Debt collectors can still contact you regarding time-barred debt, and if you start to make payments... Read more »

It would be worth your while to at least register a bar complaint against any attorney you feel acted in bad faith. As far as a lawsuit, your best bet would be to consult with an attorney regarding the facts in the case to get an idea if that would be effective.

No one can tell you anything without reviewing the contract itself. Anyone could guess, the meaning these terms, but "limited lifetime" could mean many different things. You should NEVER sign any Home Remodeling Contract without having an attorney review it first.
to put his house in my husband and his sisters name because she is 90 yrs old
Can he have the house in his name.
Yes, but if you are planning on filing again for bankruptcy then it could be an issue.
They provided a well detail email about the options I have and I wanted to know if I should just settle for the $12 or can I go bigger they have broken my rights and invaded my privacy
Trying to file a lawsuit as an individual against a company like Google is not going to be cost effective. You don't even know if your legal fees will be covered or not. Most litigants in a class action settlement get next to nothing. I personally, would take the $12.00 and move on.
I contacted at&t so the account is canceled, but I'm worried because the person still has my SSN. I asked proper action and compensation to at&t but they offered me $19.99 x 22 months credit.
Do you think I should accept that offer? Or will it worth to sue them?
If you are not responsible for the cost of the new phone and the new mobile account, and your SSN has not been used further, you have no current damages to sue for. they are already offering you compensation, but you can also request the company to pay for a credit monitoring service so that you...

This sounds very frustrating for you. IMO you should file a small claims action against both of the companies, old and new, and let the Judge read them the riot act for this run around.

Dealer said the vehicle had “ thousands of extras added” . They said they would try to find another car.
Since there was no signed formal contract and you did not pay for the vehicle, there was nothing to prevent the dealer from selling it to anyone else.
