I want to take over a friend car loan payment is it a good idea? If so, what are the steps? or is it best for me to get my own car loan?

Answered 4 years ago by attorney Hon. Max L Rosenberg   |   1 Answer
It sounds sketchy.  You might want to consider getting your own loan.  And never co-sign for someone else on a loan unless you dont care about your credit score and the liability that comes with defaulting on a loan.  Having seen your scenario many times before, I can already tell you that when this goes wrong, its because the actual debtor doesn't make the payments (despite your paying him), he defaults on the loan, the car gets repoed, and you have no recourse.  Don't do it....

Is there any way for me to still return a kirby vacuum

Answered 6 years and 6 months ago by attorney Hon. Max L Rosenberg   |   1 Answer
You passed the standard three day right of recession.  You are likely on a payment plan.  The only way to cancel the contract now would be to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy. You may also be able to contact the company and negotiate an exit but its doubtful.  If you would like to know more about why you should or why you should not choose bankruptcy as an option, please contact me at(203) 870-6700.  Thanks....

How do i determine if law office calling me threatening civil suit is a legit firm?

Answered 7 years and 7 months ago by attorney Hon. Max L Rosenberg   |   1 Answer
This sounds like a scam.  It is possible also that they are a real firm with little to no web footprint.  My office handles a little known area of consumer law called Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.  This is a federal law that regulates what debt collectors (including attorneys) can and cannot do.  You may be entitled to a settlement from the firm if they are violating your rights.  Please feel free to contact me for further assistance....

Answered 8 years and 2 months ago by attorney Hon. Max L Rosenberg   |   1 Answer
If the landlord sued you and obtained judgment, then they can apply for an execution on either your bank accounts, a garnishment on your wages, or an attachment on any real property you own (real estate).  Because the amount is relatively low, I think it might be unlikely. You have many options to deal with this. Please feel free to contact my offices if you need assistance.... Read More

Returning a car with a loan

Answered 8 years and 6 months ago by attorney Hon. Max L Rosenberg   |   1 Answer
Depending on how much time has elapsed since you signed the new contract you may be able to unwind the deal but it is highly unlikely. Your next best bet to get out of this would likely be to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy (assuming you have enough other debt to justify it).  This would effectively allow you to escape from these obligations. Feel free to contact us for more information... Read More
