My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: new york
I'm with a religious organization. We're helping someone who has a large amount of credit card debt. I think the amount he owes is over $100,000. He was working as a free-lance handyman and trying to avoid his creditors but didn't do well and was on the verge of being out on the street. We are giving him a temporary place to stay.
I'm wondering what can be done to eliminate his debt? Would a homeless person be able to remove a debt without going through bankruptcy? He obviously can't afford a lawyer.
Also, is there a statute of limitations on credit card debt?
Thanks for any help.
