Q: it's been about three years since I was arrested when does the statute of this kind of charge expire ?
1 Answer | Asked in Criminal Law for Mississippi on Jul 23, 2015
Answered on Aug 27, 2015
Robert Jason De Groot's answer
The statute of limitations does not apply, most likely, because the charges have already been brought. So, what you need to do is go see a private criminal defense attorney. There might be another provision, like speedy trial, which applies, but I do not know enough of the facts or even what the charges are, to be able to say much else.

David B. Levin's answer
Talk to a consumer protection lawyer in your area. Depending on a number of variables such as how they \"scared you,\" whether or not the collection agency misrepresented the legal status of the debt and the actions they could take, etc., you may have a claim under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act or a state consumer protection statute.

Christopher Kern's answer
There is a provision in bankruptcy law that allows a debtor to \"avoid\" or remove a judgment lien to the extent it impairs exempt property. This must be done while the case is still pending. If a debtor does not know about a judgment, or does not tell the attorney, then the attorney will not file the appropriate motion. It is fairly common that these issues arise later down the road and cases must be reopened to avoid such a judgment lien. Contact an attorney for more information.

Terrence H Thorgaard's answer
To answer your question, it depends upon whether the owner of the dog actually intended that the dog enter your property.
Shoot the dog, and you may get into more trouble than it\'s worth.

Q: Can i get a new account before i file bankruptcy and have it included as a creditor.
1 Answer | Asked in Bankruptcy for Mississippi on Oct 29, 2014
Answered on Aug 24, 2015
Christopher Kern's answer
You can not do this with the intent to discharge that debt. This would be fraud and make the debt non-dischargeable. If you obtained a new account, and later, even shortly later, decide to file bankruptcy, this would not be fraud.

Robert Gambrell's answer
The creditor has the right to take the position that it will only accept payments if you bring the loan completely current. If the creditor repossesses the collateral or commences foreclosure if the collateral is real property, you can file a chapter 13 bankruptcy. If the collateral is a vehicle or other personal property, you may be able to save a substantial amount of money by reducing the interest rate, depending upon how high the pre-bankruptcy interest rate is. If the collateral is a...
