We cannot answer this question without more information. I assume the attorneys fees were awarded against you. You did not give us any description of what specific civil rights violation you were found liable for (what the ALJ found that you did). Certain debts are not dischargeable in bankruptcy,...

Your attorney is entitled to be compensated based upon the terms of your fee contract. It is impossible to predict if the attorney's retention of the retainer is justified because we do not know when the medical issues arose. You are entitled to an explanation of what work the attorney did,... View More

A North Carolina attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Suing means filing a lawsuit in court.

There may be grounds to set aside the Deed but you probably will not know until sued. Was GM's Will probated? If not, it means nothing. Hire a NC to search the title and determine the present estate, which will be scrutinized if you are sued. Do not hire notaries to draft deeds.

I've had cases where such a lender goes to non-bankruptcy court with a plea of either unilateral or mutual mistake, and gets the title back by court order, but no damages award.

You don't state the value of the auto. If your fiscal problems are serious, speak to an experienced... View More

As the attorney from Pennsylvania noted, there are court processes available for them to take if they want to get the lien put back on the title.

In NC, your employee agreement, if there is one in place, will usually dictate whether you must repay the stipend to your employer.

When property is purchased by a married couple in NC, it is assumed they own it as Tenants by the Entirety. Based on your representations, it would appear that when your father died, the property would pass to his surviving wife. When she died, it would go to her heirs, and you would not inherit.

Continue to ignore them, this is a scam. You can report the calls to the North Carolina Attorney general's office. Block the calls and eventually they should go away. "Litigation service" is your first clue of scam, and claiming you took out a payday loan that you cannot remember... View More

You could possibly file a bankruptcy, allowing you to surrender the property and liquidate any of the loans that remain on the property. It would also wipe out credit cards, medical bills, and personal loans. However, there are a lot of moving parts so you would want to talk with someone to discuss... View More
