Yes, a landlord/property owner in PA has the right to reject your offer to lease his property. If the "collections" entry in your credit report is erroneous, you can attack it by disputing the entry through each or any of the credit bureaus, and if the entry is deleted, you can renew...

I am about to be sued for unpaid medical debt. However, my husband is the one who has the insurance through his job, but the bills have always come in my name. He's technically the guarantor, not me. We have requested the bills to be placed in his name countless times, but they never have... Read more »

The legal theory under which you could be held liable is the "doctrine of necessaries."
Here are some cases discussing the doctrine. I hope this helps provide an answer even if it is not the answer you desire.... Read more »
The billing company was aware of the appeals and my son was keeping them updated on the status. They still sent it to collections. Insurance has finally paid the claim in full so where does my son stand in this situation? Does he talk to the billing company? The collection agency? Both? Is he... Read more »

Dear Mrs. Hibner,
An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. In most jurisdictions, the recommendation would more or less be standard... You could tell your son to ask the insurance company to provide him with proof of their payment of the claim - that... Read more »

Your options are to pay the sum, not to pay it, to defense the lawsuit pro se, to hire an attorney to defend the lawsuit, to file bankruptcy, or to try to negotiate a settlement with the plaintiff, doing so either on your own or by hiring an attorney.
Which option makes most sense will... Read more »
I'm homeless and worried

This loan is likely barred by the statute of limitations for fraud which is three years. Also the statute of limitations in Connecticut for debt collection is 6 years. HOWEVER, DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE TEH DEBT OR MAKE A PAYMENT ON THE DEBT, because that will start the statute of limitations all over... Read more »
After a break up I spent some time living with my Nana. Our agreement was I’d work in lieu of rent in her shop, but pay utilities in the house I occupied since it’s normally empty. The utilities were in her name. After events ranging from abusive, to manipulative, to straight out slanderous I... Read more »

You appear to understand and agree that you owe the bill for March. However, if you do not know the amount to pay, you cannot pay it. Your Nana would have to show you knew the amount you had to pay, that she asked you for the money, and you refused to pay.
I was in an accident where they had it closed down to one lane of traffic and the concrete arm off of a Mack truck swing out in front of us and busted through the windshield it could have killed us if we had been going fast enough which I feel like is a major mess up on their end the guys already...

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Your post raises many issues and could be too involved for a simple response such as "do this," or "do that." As a GENERAL matter, it is possible that what you describe could result in a lien on your... Read more »
In 2008 my home had a lien put against it due to a credit card debt with Citibank. In 2017, I tried to show a bank that I paid off the debt but Citibank has no record of the account. I was still able to get a loan despite the lien but in the future this will still be a problem especially if I... Read more »

In that case, you will likely want to retain an attorney to reach out to the firm on your behalf to see what can be done.
Best,

I have all emails communicating with business owner.

You can bring a small claims case. Cases are being accepted for filing, but no cases are being tried. COVID makes this much harder.

It means that the plaintiff dissolved, or terminated the continuing writ of garnishment. If your pay was being held, it won't be held anymore.
I am trying to sell my home and my title came back that there is a judgment against me that was filed a year ago. I have never been contacted about this and I have always paid my bills in full, on time. How can they do this without notifying me and how do I fight back? How do I find out who is... Read more »

An Alabama attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. As a general matter, depending on state codes of civil procedure for service of process, one possibility is that the creditor could have told the court that they satisfied requirements for proper service and was...

I have now a note left on my door saying I need to contact and arrange a Notice of Rights to Have Exemptions Designated given to me. I do not know if I can do anything at this point because I never showed up to court when I was served on this issue and they ruled in favor of midland credit, I went... Read more »

We dont have wage garnishment in NC and if you file a Motion To Claim Exempt Property within 20 days after you accept that service of the Notice of Right, your assets will likely be protected. Contact a qualified attorney in your area (a consumer bankruptcy attorney is most likely to be able to... Read more »

Small claims is a good option for you.
Justia disclaimers below, incorporated herein.
They have never before this point tried to collect on it they have even sent me letters over the years trying to get me to come get another car thru them I dont have the money to pay them me and my husband dont make that much and we have three kids

State statutes have provisions by which judgments can be revived. You do not identify if the action is pending in Wisconsin or Illinois. Regardless, I would strongly recommend that you have a consultation with an attorney whose practice is concentrated in consumer law, to review whether the... Read more »
I organized this Protest at Embarcadero Park in San Francisco last year. I had the event permit and insurance cover. I put a donation box on a table with a note state that the donation is used to cover the expense for the Protest (Permit fee and insurance fee). Now, an hostile organization accused... Read more »

My advice is to just ignore them. Don't engage with them, just ignore them. So what if you asked for donations to help defray your expenses. Just don't waste your time with those people. There is only one exception to this advice, and that is if the complaining party is a public agency... Read more »
So they had two years to pay the settlement and after that it would accrue interest. My lawyer was already paid and I was told when two years came if we needed we would go back to court. It’s been 13 yrs I contact the office a few times over the yrs and at one point told I wouldn’t have to pay... Read more »

Depending on the facts of the underlying case, this could be something that an Arizona or Massachusetts attorney could advise best on. But your post remains open for two weeks. It isn't fully clear what happened here that has you waiting for the funds of your award. If your lawyer recommended... Read more »

It is very possible to sue the spouse of a medical care debtor. It is arguably a necessity and the creditor can go after the spouse, but you can try to defend against it with a decent lawyer.
Hi, I am in California, I no longer am employed at this company since July, they owe water service bill and never paid after I left, but the company/business water service account was created under my name. I was informed there was mail from the debt collector against my company but also with my... Read more »

If your name is on the account, then the water service vendor has every right to proceed after you to collect its money. You need to force the former employer to take your name off the account, and to pay any money that is owed on that account. Sounds like a good small claims action to me.... Read more »

Contact a lawyer who handles real property law, but honestly, if you can prove that you paid off the debt, this should be pretty straightforward to handle.
Can I offer to pay it in full before providing an answer? Will that dismiss the case? I’m so confused about what to do and obviously cannot afford a lawyer. I am wanting to pay in full and avoid garnished wages.

Assuming you were sued in General Sessions, no Answer is needed usually. Hire a competent attorney for a small fee to contact the collections attorney and attempt cash settlement. It is possible the creditor could even stop or improve any credit reports about that debt, and your lawyer needs... Read more »
