    what can collection agency allowed to do?

    so.. the answer is no. I am planning to see another bankruptcy lawyer after the holiday season. Hopefully, he can provide some perspective. Thanks guys...

    Is there a chance that the judgment I have maybe a time-barred debt and I don't have to pay anything? The judgment against me has been sustained over 10 years now by renewing it and I have heard the statute of limitations in case of debt in CA is normally 4 years... "Assert your FDCPA rights...

    what can collection agency allowed to do?

    Yes, I got it. Thanks. Now, if the assets of spouse can be affected even for the debt incurred before the marriage, my next question is whether it can be waived if we draw postnuptial agreement to separate her assets from my liability... I should focus on figuring out this one now

    Thanks. I am at loss at this point. The bankruptcy lawyer whom I consulted with mentioned that my wife has to declare bankruptcy as well when I do in the state of California. I definitely need to seek more advice...

    what can collection agency allowed to do?

    I have learned previously that my wife has to file bankruptcy as well if I decide to file bankruptcy to avoid any liability of my debt. Then, shouldn't it naturally mean my wife's assets are also at risk in the attempt of debt collection?

    what can collection agency allowed to do?

    I have talked to several bankruptcy lawyers already, but everybody's advice is different. Some advise getting postnuptial because my wife's asset is at risk, and others say I don't need to worry about the assets that are kept under her name.

    what can collection agency allowed to do?

    I am already married, but my wife and I do not have any shared assets. We both manage our money separately in our disparate bank accounts. Then, my wife does not need to worry about her money taken by the debt collectors in the state of California? So, I do not need to bother with getting a...

    what can collection agency allowed to do?

    I heard they can come after my wife's asset as well in California if they find out I am married. I am thinking about prenuptial to avoid the financial responsibilities of spouse... What do you think?

    what can collection agency allowed to do?

    I do not have a house or a steady job. I just have some money in my bank account. So my question would be how they can find out about the assets I have in my bank account if I don't talk to them. Are there ways they can trace it without my assistance?

    what can collection agency allowed to do?

    I have a judgment against me due to a car accident. I heard the collection agencies cannot harass me by calling me and popping up at my place. So, what can they do to collect the amounts put on judgment?
