I evicted my tenant for unpaid rent and will go to court on 7-08 for a judgement as to the exact amount still owed. We have information that the tenant intends to file BK so he won’t have to pay and that he quit his job so that we can’t garnish his wages. Knowing this guy, I have to believe both things are true. Any recourse for me at this point?
I learned today that my flight academy has closed operations and filed for protection under Chapter 7. I must find out from my lender how much they paid and if they paid the full loan to the school. In the event my lender has paid out more than I have used to date, what recourse do I have against the school since it has filed for court protection?
I settled with a debt collector years ago. Got a letter stating paid in full. Apparently the main company didn’t like the way they did business and went with another collector. Now they are calling me because the main company didn’t want settlements, they wanted to be paid in full, so they want the remainder. Allowable? Any recourse?
I hired a company to install a steel gate and gave them a check for 00. They just contacted me to advise that they are filing for chapter 13 bankruptsy. Do I have any recourse in getting my money back? Sounds like fraud to me. Help!
My credit card account is in debt collection and be passed to a attorney to sue me. I have contacted the attorney – he started threatening me that he has my account only to sue me – and that any arrangement with go through the court. I had asked how to avoid that, then he suggests that I settle with him and then will not be sued and avoid judgment – He is willing to settle but I am not sure if this is trap. The reason is that in NH where the account is, if a creditor cashes a full payment check and explicitly retains his right to sue you by writing "under protest or without prejudice" with his endorsement, then he can come after you for the balance. But those exact words must be used. If he writes "without recourse," communicates with you separately, notifies you verbally or writes on the check that it is partial payment, it is not enough.
Please advise how I could make sure he is not going to trap me and come back for the unpaid part later.
