    2 businesses collecting for same debt?

    If it were me, I'd write a letter to the collection agency, and CC: the hospital, stating your concerns regarding debt harassment, and also formally notify the collection agency that you have been making payments directly to the hospital, and that you DEMAND ONE bill sent to you monthly, or you...

    Personal Bankruptcy Lawyer failed to file bankruptcy

    How long ago was it that the ex-wife "racked up" that debt, and how did your husband's name get on the credit cards (did she forge his name as a co-sign)? If it was forgery, then I would have filed criminal charges immediately upon my knowlege. In any event, even if your husband is liable for...

    Personal Bankruptcy Need Assistance With Bankruptcy Appeal

    Oh, also, if you have any cancelled checks you wrote to the company before and after its name change which reflects the same account number, I would attach those also, but black-out your account number at the bottom of each check only on the photocopies you file with the court and serve on the...

    Street signs

    LOL, at the rolly eyes! I agree with you, Calalily, on the lack of copyright for the street signs. As far as a permit, unless you are actually selling your pictures on the street, then I cannot see why a permit would be required. Photographers take pictures all the time, everywhere ... and...

    Need Advice On Collecting A Judgement, Please

    Ouch, sorry, but it'd take me numerous hours to explain that. Let's start with the basics. How much do you know about this person? Do you have his/her: 1. Social Security Number? 2. Checking or savings account info., or even the name of the bank(s)? 3. Name of employer? 4...

    Bad Situation

    Well, although it's best to have some sort of documentation of harassment-related issues to backup your claim, it's not always completely necessary if other facts can be proven. One of the main reasons most people don't complain (in-person or in writing) to the employer or file a complaint with...

    Need of Representation

    I agree with PulledOver. Even a court-appointed attorney is better than no counsel at all (and I've seen some do an excellent job). There's also numerous attorneys who hire counsel to represent them in matters pending against them ... so that should tell you something. ;)

    Security Deposit - Rekeying fee and Layers feed

    To determine a fair and reasonable depreciation value, you would first need to estimate the sofa’s useful life with normal wear-and-tear. If it was a good quality sofa, then I would estimate its life to be approx. 10 years (this should be adjusted if the sofa was of lesser-quality), so its...

    Security Deposit - Rekeying fee and Layers feed

    According to the security deposit provision, the only deductions you can make would have to be for "damage to the premises, furniture or fixtures" or any unpaid balance due under the lease agreement. Re-keying is lock is a basic turn-key procedure, and not considered a "damage". Unless her...

    20+ year olf speeding ticket/warrant - settlement options

    Sounds like double jeopardy to me. See, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 15-1, which carries a two-year statute of limitations to prosecute misdemeanors, thus causing your warrant to be invalid. I would make the Georgia Dept. of Public Safety well aware of this statute.

    Due we have a harassment charge?

    Actually, I think what she meant was that the police said they wouldn't respond to anymore "noise complaints", as they came out again after they made that statement for a "domestic violence" complaint. What I'd like to know is whether it's possible that your neighbors are hearing noises from...

    Government Licensure Requirement - Monopoly?

    I have recently decided to obtain an Insurance Agent license in the State of Florida and read the requirements (http://www.fldfs.com/Agents/Qualifications/4-10.htm). Although I have 15 years of experience in the legal profession, I would still have to complete a 40-hour "insurance classroom...

    Ok, this is a real situation, but I'm going to make it a similar hypothetical question for obvious reasons: 1) Attorney is hired by a law firm 2) Law firm fires attorney after 2 months of employment; no reason given 3) Law firm agrees to mail final paycheck to attorney 4) The day...

    Eviction Question

    I'm not quite sure of all the circumstances here. The person who is living in your deceased mother's fully furnished home is a relative ... however: 1) Was there a Living Will? 2) If there was a Will, has it been probated? 3) Is the tenant an heir to the Will in any manner? 4) Did the...

    Evicting a roomate

    I recall having performed some legal research on this very issue 2 years ago for a friend who was in the same situation. He and his roommate/lessee had a verbal contractual verbal month-to-month lease, with no notice requirements. From my legal research, I found that the 30-day notice didn't...

    **EDIT: Other than server login/out and computer file accessibility (including programs and internet), there's more evidence that can be obtained to show you worked during the time the co-worker claimed you didn't, if any of these are applicable: 1) Parking records (where access is...
