Very often the Creditor will find something that appears to be his and then levy on it. You must keep your money and taxes separate. They cannot take the refund, but once it is a check payable to either of you, or deposited, it is an asset available. You do not have that big of a problem if... Read more »

MORE INFO NEEDED.
IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN INJURED THE POLICE WILL SAY IT IS CIVIL.
IT IS NOT MY AREA OF LAW AS YOU ARE INQUIRING ON A PI FORUM.
YOU WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO GO TO LEGAL AID OR FIND A PRO BONO LAWYER.
HOWEVER, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO STAY THERE?
Hello
I'm a uber driver and I went to pickup a passenger where he works. It was snowing and the ground was covered. After picking him up and as were leaving I hit what seems to be a pothole and damaged my passenger front and rear wheel and tire. It was in the way and on their property. I... Read more »
There were class actions under which uber had to pay for insurance for you drivers. If you had collision, run it through that. As to their manager--his property, you can sue the company in small claims.

The claim is for money owed. You can file a civil Warrant in Debt in the jurisdiction in which the premises is located and against the person who owes the money. Your hurdle may be to find the former roommates since the Court requires that person be served in order for the Curt to have jurisdiction... Read more »
This isn't a question.
Yes. They may be able to garnish your account.
A small TX county sent me a postcard saying I had an outstanding criminal case against me pending. Called the county and was told their software was updated so all outstanding tickets were being pursued. No warrant yet, drivers license eligibility is still good. Need to find out how far back TX DPS... Read more »
Yes, a 15 year old traffic ticket can still be prosecuted even if the citation was issued in your maiden name and you are now married. The question is: were you the individual who was issued the ticket back then, regardless of what your name was or is now. Request an abstract of your record from... Read more »
I offered a one-time lump sum payment to settle a debt with a third-party debt purchaser and received a settlement agreement that is worded like the following:
"This letter agreement shall confirm that Defendant "Name", has agreed to pay and Plaintiff "Name" has agreed to accept the total... Read more »
I am always concerned when an agreement is not clear in its wording. You might ask that the wording be changed to allow you to feel more comfortable before signing. I would suggest that you allow an attorney to review the letter for you as they may be able to determine more from actually seeing... Read more »
She has said through text messages numerous times that she was going to set up payment arrangements to pay the rest off. She still owes about 6000 and has not set any arrangements.

Yes, you are able to file a civil suit against her for breach of contract. It may be best to contact an attorney who can assist you with the specifics of your case.
I wish you well.

The loan was made in California. I live in Florida now. He is Montana. I have sent by certified mail and certified email. I know he got the correspondence. I have offered him payment plans. I have asked him to contact me if there is some issue. He continues to ignore me. I doubt there is much I can... Read more »
You're probably right: there doesn't appear to be anything you can do. You would have to sue him in either California or Montana, and the statutes of limitation in either of those states are probably less than 10 years.
I WOULD SAY THE PERSON THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT AT THE TIME THE CAR IS IMPOUNDED, depending on why.
BUT OF COURSE (sorry, just noticed all caps) if the car was impounded for past parking tickets or some other reason that you are responsible for, that burden would fall on you.
Car left for repairs for 2 in half months, and have not been contactedsince
This is not a wc question so you may want to ask it again under a more appropriate classification such as abandoned property or storage. You may be able to discover an answer by reviewing the laws for the following:

I can't afford a lawyer, but I believe alot of stuff is going on. And HOA won't comply with requests.

Thank you for your service to our country!
I wish you well.

My fiancée passed away Dec 1st. It was all over the news. Not even 12 hours of his death and his ex-wife, his mother and sister started threatening and harassing me. They are threatening to break into my home for his belongings so they can sell it and make a profit. They sure act like this man was... Read more »
I am truly sorry for your loss. What you are going through is tragic, and it is a terrible example of failure to plan, because I have to assume that your fiancee' did not have a will. If he had a will, it would have named you to receive everything if he died, of course, and nobody would be... Read more »
My dog had puppies I gave one at to a neighbor they're not taking care of it can I legally take back ownership
If you gave it away it would no longer be yours to re-possess unless you have a written contract that would permit you to do so. For example, some animal shelters make the person adopting sign a contract that contains a clause stating that abuse or neglect of the animal would be grounds to take the... Read more »
Dry cleaner said they would reimburse for the shirts but after calling them every few weeks for the past 9 months(!) they just denied the claim. Can they really just say they’re not responsible for ruining brand new, never worn clothes? I don’t know what else to do at this point and have wasted... Read more »
You could look into small claims court. The problem is that the time and effort is likely to exceed $100. Good luck

Can I collect court cost & interest from the date of my judgment until the loan is paid off & what is the % amount in MD?
Judgments carry 10% interest per annum by law. Shouldn't be any further court costs unless you need to keep filing garnishments or anything of the sort. However, if you came to some other payment agreement, the answer may be different.
What is the possible penalty they may face and they currently do not have a record and have never been arrested. This will be their first offense.
This is an A - Misdemeanor, the penalty range is up to 1 year in county jail and up to a $2,500 fine. Because they are a first offender, their are several ways to handle this type of case to try to keep it off their record and help avoid any jail time. You should consult with a criminal defense...
