Our main business is already in the process of bankruptcy and has been shut down. We had a car that was in the company name and we voluntarily turned it in (felt it wasn't right to keep a high end car while business going under) We thought we were doing the right thing. Turns out my husband signed a...

"SLAPP" = Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation. I filed a rather public consumer complaint against a regional tire dealer a couple of weeks ago. Totally factual. They finally refunded my money after several weeks of playing hide and seek with it, but the CEO of the company privately...

Hi,

Just received a document by regular mail called a Warrant in Debt (Civil Claim for Money) filed by an old dentist. Problem is the dental work was performed over two years ago (poorly) in another state (VA). I relocated to my current address (NY) about two years ago, and the dentist...

I hired a law firm in CA to perform debt settlement on some of my unsecured debt. (I had $26,000 balance on a Citibank card.) (Herbert Davis Law Offices). After securing a loan and making one full payment to the lawyer, I received a copy of the following settlement letter from Herbert Davis, addressed...

I filed today and along with my rather large debt, being sued was a big reason.....I have a settlement conference set for a few weeks from now, with a trial date a week following that. I know the law office as well as the creditors involved will be notified, but do I or should I do anything in regards...

Today I got a letter from a creditor basically saying to pay $750 by April 21st or they will file a civil action law suit. I am terrified. I am not even sure what exactly I am scared of, I think it is the threat that is scaring me. I finished my work book and am starting my BK hopefully within the next...

I've seen two conflicting pieces of advice about creditor lawsuits:

1. Always answer to slow them down.
2. Don't bother answering if it's an original creditor (OC) because they'll just get a quick motion for summary judgment.

I'm in California, and want, very much, to...

Now that I know a suit from American Express is on the way, I have stumbled on this concept called "prejudgment attachment" which allows a creditor to seize or put a lien on assets in an ex parte motion pending outcome of the trial. In other words, seize first, notice later.

Last night I posted a thread about Chase threatening to sue. Well the helpful comments made me realize I could go online and read the court's docket. And there it is, a suit against me from American Express. 4/6/2010.

So, anyone in California (I'm in San Diego): how fast is this going...

Long letter from chase receive today that includes this language:

Hello,
