Answered 8 years and 9 months ago by Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
It depends on how quickly your employer and the creditor respond to the communication sent to them about your bankruptcy filing. Often the garnishment can stop before the next payday if the employer finds out before the deadline for processing the paychecks.

If a 4 wheeler was listed and discharged, they threatening to bring law, can they continue to harass and threatening to disrupt any time of the day?

Answered 8 years and 9 months ago by Ronald Karl Nims (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
You shouldn't have had it hauled away. You may be liable on the value of the 4 wheeler. But they are not allowed to threaten you or contact you concerning the debt. The police (or sheriff) have no interest in getting involved in this private dispute, so that threat is just empty words. If anyone contacts you, tell them that you will file a contempt of court motion against them.... Read More

Must this be paid or will it be discharged with the remaining debt?

Answered 8 years and 10 months ago by Ronald Karl Nims (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
US courts, as a general rule, grant unopposed motions as long as they are proper and within the court's power. Since you didn't oppose the attorney's motion for compensation, the judge probably granted them. It is possible to have an order vacated but you'd probably have to hire another attorney to do it....

How do I remove a 38 year old bankruptcy that appears in news archives section under Bankruptcy Business Records?

Answered 8 years and 10 months ago by Atty. Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
I doubt you can remove it. Such records are intended to be historical, and as accurate as their sponsors can make them. You could comfort yourself knowing that any discerning reader will see that the bankruptcy occurred long long ago and has no bearing on your present financial situation. Also, you can append to your credit reports from each of the three major credit reporting entities a statement, which I think can be up to 100 words, in which you explain anything you think needs explaining....

If i sign a 2 year lease on a building for my new company and it goes under in a year, am i liable for the remaining year on the lease?

Answered 9 years ago by attorney Marjorie A. Guymon   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
If you personally guaranty the lease then yes, you would still be liable for the lease if your company was insolvent.  The key is to sign the lease only on behalf of the company.  However, it is difficult for a new company to incur obligations without the guaranty of its principals since it has little credit history.  It is worth trying to negotiate....

Answered 9 years ago by Ronald Karl Nims (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
Of course, the custodial parent is entitled to interest on unpaid child support. Oh boo hoo, you don't want to pay the interest. Well, you should have thought of that back when you were spending the child support money on your swinging single lifestyle.

Can a collection agency collect on a debt that is about 15 years old?

Answered 9 years ago by Marc Aaron Goldbach (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
