The money is in an offshore account and... View More

From just reading your question, the first impression is that you're dealing with a scam. However, if that CA attorney checks out, then it may not be a scam. One would need much more information to make that determination.
Im liable for the money unless i truly believed the check was good? And i even offered to pay the bank back in installments if theyd draw up the paperwork, but he said no and now it's gonna be a lot more! Help!

I believe I already answered this question when originally posted; and since you still do not understand why you are liable for the money that the bank lost on the bad check you deposited allow me to try again to explain.
1. All bank customers who deposit checks that later bounce are... View More
In the claus it says only won't be liable if i truly believed the check was good. I can prove i did. I thought I was being hired for a job.. Am i still liable? And how can I find a lawyer pro bono?
answered on May 21, 2019
Please. You do not need a lawyer; and you will never get one to take your case "pro bono." Why? Because proving that you "...truly believed the check was good" does not somehow make the check good.
FYI: Whenever a check you deposit bounces you must repay all the money... View More

No, the amount of money involved is way too small and the dispute can be solved between you are "the other guest." The law is not designed to solve every little problem that comes your way during this lifetime, The Latin phrase for this rule is "De minimus non curat lex."

Probably they can, especially if you agreed to it by signing the Note and the Deed of Trust. If they gave you some specific reason why they did not want your business, then it might be something to report to HUD, but I doubt there is any merit. Also you are talking about going after the Lender... View More
I thought check was good. I called the bank on check and it said the check would clear. Now the bank is trying to press criminal charges for fraud.

If you receive a check from an unknow force, don't take any money from it until it clears the bank.
answered on Aug 6, 2018
It depends.
I don't know enough facts about your case to answer that. You should consult with a local civil attorney.

The automatic stay does not operate to stay criminal prosecutions for criminal acts. While the stay would prevent the creditor with the worthless check from proceeding against you civilly, it does not stay criminal action for the crime of writing the worthless check. The worthless check debt most... View More

Go to the bank and ask for a new one. They will cancel the one your dad has and issue a new one. Some can even give you a temporary card on the spot.

You should call the bank and see if she named a beneficiary upon death. If she did, then the money belongs to that person.
The TN lawn broker act of 1988, which states they can charge a fee up to 1/5th of the loan and 2 %interest. I have a picture of their screen, that has their charges... And it says 20%? Pawned for 250$, there is interest on the 90 days and I went to get it out on the 92nd day and was told it is 600$... View More
answered on Nov 23, 2017
You are right as to the fee and 2% interest per month...24% per annum. In 93 days the amount on 250 would not be 600. You should contact the local attorney general and advise them of what you believe is an unlawful practice.

Further detail to that, can it be levied if I am paying the child support order and 100 a month towards arrearage?
answered on Sep 26, 2016
If a judgment has been ordered, issuing a levy on a bank account is one of the methods of collection. However, you say you are paying the current support and a monthly payment on the arrearage, and if so, its seems unlikely that they will go further. They are getting the money and a little extra....
