We separated two years ago, and part of our agreement was for me to move out, and she'll retain the home, as long as she can maintain the monthly payments.

What you have not confirmed is whether you are on title as well as the loan. If on title, bring a partition action to sell the property by court order, and in turn, pay off the loan. That may also force her to refinance. If there is no equity in the property, there is little you can do, but let... View More

Residential or commercial? If commercial, apply for Federal loans that pay for rent. Either way, there are no evictions for 90 days, at which point, we should all be back in business.

When the courts reopen, you can file a small claims case.
Lube shop left my heat shield loose then an uneven bank driveway sheared it off. The atm was broken no transaction there.
answered on Mar 21, 2020
It could be a difficult case to prove. The time and cost of surveying/measuring the curb cuts for the driveway, and presenting in a credible and impartial manner to the court could run more than the heat shield replacement. And the delays resulting from pursuing a legal course of action, as opposed... View More
Long story short, I traded my car in back in December and it still hasn't been paid off over three months later. In response to one of the answers received: the plates were taken off and registration WAS cancelled. In January, I received a letter stating that the car was involved in an... View More

When you traded in, you should have taken the plates and canceled your registration. Sounds like you left the plates on, which is your fault, and the part of the scam here.

You cannot sue them. It is possible that if you are in a program that requires attendance at a doctors office they are calling you for that reason.
As to whether they are billing you or someone else, check your explations of benefits.

The amount involved is small claims level if you want to sue to recover. Run your credit report and put a fraud alert on it if you believe he stole your number. Notify the card companies and get new cards.
Is there any way to fight this amount owed?

Interest on a judgment is 9% from the date of the judgment and is governed by law. Interest before that is governed by the loan documents.
answered on Jul 26, 2019
If there is a criminal case, restitution will be part of any judgment. If not, you can sue. But, these debts are hard to collect.
I read that 25000 and under and over 16%
But I would be charging less in interest so would I need any license ?
answered on Jul 24, 2019
If you are lending to the public you need a banking license.

Prove the advance of funds. There should be a date on the check.
I lost both my laptop and the money that was my paid to me due to a fake credit card through facebook marketplace. I know the real name of the person who stole from and his facebook and Instagram accounts. What can I do?

Go to the police. Make a report with all the details. Then, report it to the credit card company. You will be asked to do a fraud affidavit.
If their repairs didn't fix the problem do I still owe them for the repairs?

If you paid by credit do a chargeback. Go back to the place and put complaint in writing. Your rights are impacted by how long ago you did original work.

This is really something best discussed in detail with your attorney, rather than weighing the speculation of someone who doesn't have films or reports of your MRIs, CTs, X-Rays, neurological testing, surgery and post-surgery reports, and other important file documents. It's going to be... View More

I gave them a copy of the repair bill. I contacted multiple repairmen before finding one who could/would come. It's what I paid for the repair. What else do I need for court? If they sue, can I countersue for anything, because I suspect they are just threatening to sue to get more money.
answered on Apr 10, 2019
Anyone can sue anyone if they pay the filing fee. You also need the lease that says you can charge for repairs of this kind. Nothing in your post suggests a counterclaim.
I have little income. Live in a rent free Hud apartment because of my very low income. The only thing of value is the car. The book value of the car is $3500. I want to know if the car would be exempt from seizure??
answered on Apr 9, 2019
If there is a lien on the car, it is not exempt. If no lien, it could be exempt. But it is also hard to seize it. Answer the case.

If you want to not pay rent for three months as a strategy, you can. You risk an eviction case being filed, but it will not likely be resolved in three months. But you would have to answer any summons.
