    speed citation

    There's a little tip on this too. When you get a quote for car insurance, that quote is usually good for 30 days by law. So, what you can do is the day before you go to take care of the ticket, get a quote for a new policy, even from another company. Remember that up to that point, you have...

    Pay off, Don't Pay off?

    The creditors could possibly go after his estate after he dies - keep in mind that estate does not just mean property, it also means any money he has, etc. As long as you were not married to him, you have nothing to worry about.

    Forced court appearance for speeding ticket

    Probably since you are old enough to have a regular license, the cop overlooked your friends in the car, and I would not bring this up in court. However, even though you are old enough, the cop can't do anything about the fact that you do still have the learner's permit, so any ticket that he...

    Can the dentist send me to collections if I'm making regular payments?

    When you signed the paperwork during the visit there would have been a paper about financial responsibility. Basically that if your insurance fails to pay, then you agree to pay. They don't have to agree to partial payments, but as stated, if you call them, they will probably be willing to...

    Stolen Money

    i don't think she needs to freeze the accounts. What she needs to do is go to the bank and explain what happened, and have them change the online info. They should be easily able to do so. Also, I would have them open a new account, and transfer the money to it. This way, her mother won't...

    Forgery by wife and notary leads to $10000 loss

    Wow. What a mess. First of all, I'm assuming you have a social security number. That would be needed in order to take out a loan. What you need to do is get a copy of your credit report from the three major credit agencies. You are entitled to a fee copy once per year. Go to...

    Collections didn't send a pre-collect letter, then lied to me

    Hold on a minute, everyone. I don't disagree with the responses that she did procrastinate, etc, etc. But nobody has answered her basic, underlying question, and I really am not sure on this one myself, but the unanswered question is this: The collections agency told her they were sending the...

    Without knowing more of the details, I would say that this sounds like an overkill idea. I'm not saying don't do it, but if you are having trouble with collections, start with the following: Fair Debt Collections Practices Act FAQ's Fair Debt Collections Practices Act PDF As for...

    Statue of Limitations and Getting Sued

    Yes, the judge can put a judgment for the whole amount, and you're right that the creditor is under no obligation to accept payment terms, however if she is simply not able to pay in full, she can't pay. The same will happen in court. And yes, the judge could order wage garnishments, etc, but...

    Nancy Grace asks for grace!

    I disagree. I'm sure these people knew what the show was about before they agreed to be on there. I know she can very blunt and direct, but she doesn't let someone beat around the bush, and why is it so wrong for her to ask what most other people are asking amongst themselves? It might be...

    Statue of Limitations and Getting Sued

    Normally on any debt the SOL (great double meaning here....) starts after your last contact with them in regards to the matter, not from the time you took out the loan. So 4 years from the date of your last letter to them trying to work all of this out. The best bet is go to court and show the...

    Georgia Move Over Law 40-6-16

    The cops in Georgia love this crap. I understand the purpose of the law, and have no problem with it as it is intended, but it is used too often as a revenue generator. I will never forget a couple years ago, going along I75 near Dalton, GA. Up ahead I saw a cop car on the side of the road...

    Adult website contest

    Why wouldn't it be? There's plenty of porn sites out there, and if it's just picts of breasts and butts, then the content is legal. That would only become a problem if it showed sex acts. But it has been legally ruled that the human body by itself is considered art. The obvious question is...

    Quit Claim

    You will have to follow what the divorce decree states, but if you can quitclaim it to her, I would do it. You are never going to be able to refinance the house unless house values shoot up again. So, if she's willing to quitclaim it and take over fully on the mortgage then you will walk away...

    Fight ticket in far away jurisdiction

    Guys - I think you all missed the point of his question. He didn't want a court date, simply an extension on the time to pay the ticket. Instead of an extension they gave him the court date. You need to contact the court handling this and find out how to proceed.

    APPROX 30 toll tickets... help

    Then your only hope is to go to court and ask the judge if you can pay the fine without the points, or a reduced number. Whether that will work or not is anyone's guess - it depends on the judge. With that many violations, don't count on a reduced fine. But the judge may allow you to a...

    Suing dealership after selling back NEW car?

    If this is damage caused by the dealership, then that would not fall under the lemon laws. The dealer's insurance needs to cover this. Basically they damaged your property. I wouldn't take the buy back offer unless they agree to buy it back at the full price. If they refuse, then take them...

    Collection Agency

    I would contact the insurance commissioner's office in Texas and see what they have to say. I had a sticky mess with my insurance (paperwork snafu from pervious insurance) and my then current company was trying to charge me more. They were not willing to budge.....until the state got involved...
