I had a loan set up on auto payments and they stopped processing them due to lack of funds. They never tried to contact me again. That was almost a year ago and now a sheriff shows up and says I'm not getting sued. I call the office that represents them with no response. The number directs me to a... Read more »
What did the Sheriff want if he did not serve you or levy on your property? I recommend calling General Sessions Court for the County that either you borrowed the money in or where you live. Check to see if you are a Defendant on a recent or current case. If you borrowed on a car, is there... Read more »
I drunkenly made a bid on an online auction for some real estate in another state(Illinois). Some time had gone by and my financial situation changed, so I no longer would be able to pay for the auction if I won, which I eventually did. I have no way to pay for the real estate in question and I... Read more »
Jurisdiction exists when you contacted somebody in Illinois. I doubt there is any criminal liability, but yes, you can be sued for specific performance, amongst other causes of actions. If sued and served, hire a competent attorney to both represent you, and protect your assets.

As to the auto policy, you probably have no cause of action since you have no damages at this time. Unless it is provable it hurt your credit rating or something, there is no case.

The company that's suing me is not who I signed this old contract with. This debt has been written off and I just realized looking at paperwork today, I never signed a contract with the company thats suing me. How can they legally sue me when I never had a legal contract sign by me with them?
They original creditor may have sold the contract/debt to a debt buying company. This is common. Just because a debt is "written off" doesn't mean that an original creditor or subsequent creditor cannot attempt to collect. However, you may have defenses. You would be wise to contact local counsel... Read more »
The person collecting is not the original creditor but a default judgment was received. It is still within the statute of limitations and apparently a the person sold the judgment. Now my roommate has gotten a letter saying they may file for a lien or wage garnishment.
If they own the Judgment, then they can try to collect it. Whatever license you think they do not have, has nothing to do with collecting against the debtor. You would only be able to file a complaint with the State.

My Wife's mother lives in Indiana, we live in Tennessee. She is stating that she is able to sue us for Filial Law so that we have to support her??
You have not been sued nor served yet, so no suit exists at this time. When you get sued, if ever, then you will need an Indiana Attorney. Hopefully whatever is the disposition will not be enforceable here. If a judgment goes down there, then you need a very competent Tennessee attorney to... Read more »

You would need to be prepared to appear in court. You could hire counsel to file the paperwork and appear for you. And in the event that the defendant fails to appear, you could obtain a default judgment. But if a plaintiff or plaintiff's attorney fails to appear the case would most likely be... Read more »
Isn't there an implied warrenty that the computer works and how can I get my money back?
Look at the paperwork with your purchase- look to see if they sold the computer "as is." If not then you would be correct. But also, you may want to talk to a computer expert- an expert may be able to unlock the computer for you.
The question is vague. She would be wise to hire local counsel to determine her best course of action.
I am not recommending one way or the other that you subpoena the dentist.

But if you want to... Read more »

She has signed no agreement or paid any rent. She has been there almost 3 years. Will I have trouble evicting her at a later date?
3 years is the SOL. Few persons know that. I suggest filing the Detainer Warrant for Possession Only now. Let her defend herself. At worst you will need a very competent attorney that knows what Ejectment is. Act fast or it could be a very expensive and difficult problem.
