Excellent post.

Unfortunately every person who drives in your area does have something to worry about.

Wooo Hooo! Good for you!

Dont forget to accurately keep records--renting is a good tax write off.

I thought you included them in your Bankruptcy. Im not sure you cansettle them now.

Keep in mind that even if they are paid they will not fall off your CR any earlier.

I dont know the SOL for...

The judgements are public record. They will stay on, as your CR states until 2011. Your BK (chapt 7?) will be listed as a public record until 1214.

Agreed. As soon as one OC/CA sees you are paying others--they are going to try to get theirs too. So if you have multiple defaulted accounts you are going to be in for a wild ride.

Making a payment on an account (no matter who pays) is going to restart the SOL clock.

Yes they can sue you. My suggestion--DO NOT talk to them again. Send them a letter asking for debt validation. Do it today. Send it with a "green card" ---signature requested. If they are doing what...

If it is a true summons it was filed in court and your state probably mandates that an officer of the court serve the defendant.

27 years is a lot of time. I am impressed.

If you leave him you will probably need to get a job. I wouldn't count on alimony and child support to feed, clothe and shelter you and your children. ...

I understand your feelings...DH will write the last check in her name in a few days. However, we were discussing just the other day how she will never be completely out of our lives--unless something...

1) Have you asked them in writing for debt validation? This should have been done w/i 30 days of first hearing from them

2) If they sue, they will sue in your state

3) Legally they can't...

You can almost guarentee if you are in one of the metro Atlanta counties time will be your on your side. In one of the more rural? I guess that would depend on how bored the good 'ol boys are.

I think the first thing you need to find out is if there was a judgement--have you checked your credit report lately? You can do it for free once a year at www.experian.com

I have never heard of this being issued unless a judgement has been filed in conclusion of a lawsuit.

Since there never was a lawsuit in your case, I would not answer it--what is it their...

There could be an investigation into her use of these other programs. No one can say for sure.

You're welcome and good luck.

It sounds as if your Ex and you are quite amicable. That's great for everyone especially your child. :D I know you say you are "lucky", but it also sounds like your EX is a good guy and you're not...

I would also like to know what you would be suing for exactly and what monitary amount you would be asking for.

For anyone to respond to your question and to give solid advice you will need to stop being cryptic and tell us what the document is. Does the document have a title? Can you tell us a little more...

Of course that's fraud. Ebay will do an investigation/turn him/her over to authorities and the government will prosecute for welfare fraud. I used to work for WIC---this is not a pretty situation and...

You did not say the age of this debt....

1) File discovery
2) If they have papers, you will get them--proceed. If they don't you will get a ton of objections and excuses
3) Write a good faith...

It's going to be an uphill battle to vacate judgement and yes they can freeze your bank accounts. Since you don't have a job so they can attach wages, then dipping into your bank account is probably...

As your state mandates---If it was never stated in the court order, then no---no college. That doesnt mean momma can't go back and ask for support through college, though.

We are discussing 400 dollars, right? Did you waive your rights to a walk through when you left--as in did you conduct a walk through of your apartment with your landlord before moving out? You...

Love this post!
