You owe the debt so they have every right to make you pay it just like any other debt you have.  You could arrange to pay the debt.

The items can't just be thrown out without notice to the owner.  The party that reposes the car is not entitled to the personal property in the car.  The property should be returned to the owner.

You have the right to dispute the bill.  The first letter they send to you will tell you that.  How much is the loan?  Do you have other debts?  Bankruptcy will cost you $1500 (including all filing fees, mandatory classes, etc.) if you use us.  We will meet with you for an hour or so to discuss your options, which may not include bankruptcy.  There is no fee for that meeting....

How do I collect a judgment against my ex-husband.

Answered 14 years and a month ago by William/J Joanis (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
The lien would have gone away if the bank's lien was senior to it. The collection of the claim may depend upon how the judgement and decree are written.  If you want someone to look at the judgment and decree and advise you on your options, we'd do it at no expense to you.

I recently got out of prison and a bill was delivered to me from a collection agency for the time I spent in the county jail.

Answered 14 years and 2 months ago by William/J Joanis (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
They can start the collection process when ever they want.  This seems a little harsh. You have enough problems getting on your feet right now.  I cannot think of why this would not be discharged in a bankruptcy case.  If you are interested in filing, call us, or some one else that will do more than just process your petition. You need a bankruptcy lawyer to look at your special issues.  Not a paralegal to just look at your bills. Like most firms, we don't charge for the first meeting, and we'd be able to answer this question if you wanted to meet and show us anything you have in your possession regarding this claim....

My ex-boyfriend has a 66'' chevy he left on my property for over 2 years. I told him to take it away can i transfer title into my name if he owes me ?

Answered 14 years and 6 months ago by William/J Joanis (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
Generally, property is abandoned if notice to remove and six months pass.  The problem may be getting the title changed.  Is the car worth $1500?  Maybe he'll just transfer the title to you.  Otherwise, you could sue and get a judgment, and execute on the car.  That is a lot of work and money.  ...
