my landlord says he can’t pay me my deposit because he has no money and has completed his filing for chapter 13. A legal advisor said I could sue in small claims but said whats the point, I may get a judgement but the person has no money. Could I put a lein on his property?
I have an outstanding small claims judgement against her for k but when I went to collect, she filed bankruptcy.
I have a debt that is listed in my bankruptcy, however it isn’t filed yet, and I don’t have a case number. Can I still put this debt in the bankruptcy and get it taken care of even though I have a court summons for small claims?
I haven’t been to court yet to recieve a judgement.
in the divorce decree it states that I am responsible for all debts incurred by my former business and that she is relieved from them. I sold her the truck because I didn’t need it in jail and I owed her money as well for paying my child support current last year. Here’s where it gets confusing, i am in jail in Texas and looking at a felony revocation where I would be spending 2-10 years in prison. Alabama and Mississippi is where most of my debts are and one has even filed small claims three days after I left alabama. I need to act on this fast. Can I do this myself with the correct forms? Which state should I file in? Texas allows you to keep property in which you need for work. But all the divorce decree said that I would be allowed my personal property only and it didn’t stipulate what was personal property. my ex seems to think its just my clothes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I was thinking about this the other day, I used to work in collections and couldnt figure it out. It takes what 7-10 years for bankruptcy to age of your credit, the normal statute of limitations is (in my state) 6 years for credit card debt and 10 years for car notes and such. Why would someone file bankruptcy when it costs so much when they can wait it out? Also if the debtor gets a judgement against them does the creditor always put a body attachment out like they do in small claims personal suits?
Thanks
