Thank you, Proserpina. You were very gentle. One last question so im sure i get it: it's the source of income (social security), not the amt that protects our bank acct. If we use a portion of our ss and then deposit an amt equal to what we used, bringing the balance back up to the total...

We did check into BK but decided at our ages (63 & 65) we've downsized dramatically and are content to live frugally. We'd rather save the cost of a bk; couldn't get credit even if we did want it. Just want to be sure that if we have anything in checking from a source other than social...

Well, the reason is that we owe about $50,000 and the offers they made, before the judgements, were just too much. We are looking at some crucial medical bills coming in the next few months. Our business went down the tubes when the economy crashed and we've basically lost everything. Sounds...

Hello all. Embarrassed to admit my husband and I have judgements from credit cards. We're retired, so our income is from social security. Our bank has notified us that our social security is protected from garnishment, but what about any other cash we may deposit? For example, if our SS is...

No, we don't have Power, and I do understand that anybody could have signed the authorization. It's now my understanding that Power wouldn't have even been sufficient. I think the judge was very fair in his dismissal without prejudice. We have an appt w/an atty after the first of the year...

Here's some info for anyone who's interested... after serving all the papers, waiting all the time, we went to court and the case was dismissed because the Plaintiff wasn't present. It didn't matter that he's 97 and can hardly get around, or that we had his signed authorization to represent...

Not only not the slightest bit of remorse, but it sounds like you had scoped the place out in advance to determine there were no (visible) cameras. If I were on the jury, I'd say guilty. Ya know, eventually thieves get caught.

Dear Mightymoose, thank you SOooooo much for responding. I feel such a responsibility to get this right, for my father-in-law, but I can't find a place to turn for help. Your words have encouraged me. If there are any sites you can suggest, or any other words of wisdom, I'm all ears. Thank...

Jurisdiction: LA County, CA My husband and I are taking care of the paperwork (and appearance) for his 97 yr-old father who is the owner of a rental house. Tenants are multi-generational and lived in the rental for 20+ yrs (without anything in writing). They stopped paying rent in March...

To TPAJet Just wanted to say thank you for responding. It's so disheartening to pose a question and not get any advice. I appreciate your time!!

My jurisdiction is: California My jurisdiction is: California I hope this is the right forum ... here goes. A month ago our son traded in his car on a used truck. The dealer STILL hasn't paid off the balance of the trade-in car ($3,900) and the regular monthly payment is coming due...

My jurisdiction is: Orange County, CA A couple of yrs ago my husband purchased a new car for our son. The contract shows my husband as the Buyer and our son as the Co-Buyer. With our permission, our son traded in the car and drove off the lot in a different (used) vehicle. This took place...

Morning. The original felony was assault w/deadly weapon other than a gun. The second, a misdemeaner, was forgery (I believe). He tried to cash a scam check, knowing it was a scam. Thank you for replying.

My jurisdiction is: CA/LA and Orange Counties Sorry to bother you all with another probation violation question, but please ... here goes ... Orange County: felony conviction w/3 yrs reporting probation. 6 mos later, LA County: misdemeaner conviction w/3 yrs non-rpt probation...

Thank you, JacksGal. My husband and I are just gonna let this soap opera play out. We don't even know where our son is now, or how he might be served if he were to be prosecuted.

Thank you, Carl. I appreciate the input.

Could anyone give me an approximate length of time the DA might take, or is allowed to take, before filing charges in a Calif case? Our adult son was videotaped as an accomplice in a store robbery in December. He distracted a clerk as his friend did a grab and run. The friend turned...

My step-mother in CA has been threatening to divorce my father who is 92, cannot see or hear, and has early signs of dimentia. Now she is saying she's disappointed because she learned she cannot legally divorce him due to his health, even though he could go into an assisted living facility. Is...

Should we support the police? OK, I see it's been a while since this thread began, but I just want to throw a little different perspective on this picture: Unfortunately, a group of teens hangin out often ends with problems. Sorry, but it comes with the age group. The police have a tough job...
