I have read your previous question:\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ao1grVAAeLJuM8JSTcwQYjjsy6IX?qid=20060605193038AA1TtGf\n\nYou are an idiot.  They are doing everything they need to do for you.  The court system is in place for real problems, not for people like you that think you are entitled to everything for no good reason.  Get over it.  They are paying your medical bills and have apologized to you.  You do not deserve any additional money...the bite did not even break the skin!  Because of people like you our court system...and our emergency rooms...are tied up for stupid reasons.  There was no reason for you to go to the ER.  \n\nIf it was possible I would sue you for $5,000 for putting up with your stupidity.  Unfortunately, I'm not a "single mom", so I don't think I would have a case.

From what you say she wasn't in much of a friend.  I don't believe she can sue you for twice what the debt is.  Hang on to your receipt so you can prove you paid her.  The judge should dismiss this case.

Type lawyerdude into your search engine. he has many pages on how to deal with this type of problem. DO NOT let her go in there and plead guilty, even if she is. She doesn't need the extra expense of traffic school and the likely increase in insurance. It may be a little bit inconvenient to fight it, but definitely cheaper in the long run. Empower yourself and fight for whats right, she didn't hurt anyone and she didn't damage anybodys property, so according to the Constitution, she really didn't commit any crime, even though your state has some statute, that they're saying she violated. As for the points, shes going to get the same amount if she pleads guilty or is found guilty by trial. They cannot give you  a worse punishment because she decide to take the case to trial.

Hi, \n\nIs your wife being sued? Or are there just threats of a law suite. If you were being sued, you would have already received a summons to appear in court, which sounds like you have none.\n\nIf you indeed wind up going to court, you can petition the court for a settlement for Penny's on the dollar. Capitol One will try and get the whole amount and make you believe you have to pay the entire amount, but what they want and what they get are two different matters. \n\nI had an overdue account with Capitol One years ago, and they tried the same scare tactics and wanted the whole amount, I told them point blank, either accept my settlement terms, or you can go to H e - - and kiss my A - -. They wound up writing it off.  Stand up to them, there is no such thing as debtor prison, and it is nothing more than scare tactics. \n\nAfter 7 years, the smear on your credit record must by law, be removed completely. \n\nFrom the way it sounds, I would proceed immediately with filing bankruptcy. There is always a way to work out the filing fee. \n\nGood Luck, and don't take any crap from Cap 1. \n\nDarryl S.

Yikes! First of all, even though what she did is very wrong we have all don't things in our lives that we are not proud of.  Now knowing your financial situation I will not condemn your mother. Secondly, this is a very serious situation and I am not sure what will happen.  In most cases the boss would not ever consider keeping the employee.  However, the fact that she is family is a very good thing for her. This may really work to her benefit.  You should just relax and don't worry about things that are beyond your control.  Say a little prayer to God and just be there for your mom.  Everything will work out! Good luck and God bless!

My neice was looking for a job doing anything for at least min. wage. She found one taking care of two little children and she also does housework for the family. She is 19 and working her way through college. She makes $7.00 per hour. She loves it.

Yes, but it would have to be small claims court. Make sure you bring all the paper work you can muster up, especially your child's statement, the fact that the DA couldn't proceed.. and that you did indeed lose 2 weeks for work because of her. And some pay stubs to prove how much you would have made. Mention your feelings, how it embarrassed you at your work/or in front of your boss.(Don't dramatize it though, just mention)!\n\nYOU CAN SUE FOR SLANDER AND DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER.- because you lost work because of her, I think your chances are very good. I wish you luck!

$75K with no receipt? She almost deserves to lose it.\n\nTalk to a lawyer. She can probably get one on a contingency, but that means she'll give he lawyer about 1/3rd of the take for the collection. The lawyer would probably start by requesting the money through a letter. If he doesn't respond, the next step would be a civil suit. If she wins that, then she'd be eligible to use the judgment to collect from him in different ways such as from his bank account, if he had the money, or by garnishing his wages.

I just dealt with a case like this where an individual was told not to call on go near another person, they filled an order of protection and he ws not present.  He didn't even know it existed.  It was his own mother and step dad.  They lured him to the apartment complex by telling his aunt that his property was on the stoop.  He picked it up.  The next day he was just walking down the street and was picked up by police based on a description and arrested for violation a restraining order, fined and arrested.  I got him released ROR argueing the same points as some of your answers listed above but the short of it is he is going to county lock up if he doesn't beat the charge.  lawyers fees are expensive.  he can now only afford a public defender and they are way over worked, under paid and not to bright, I would expect probation or 30 days incarceration at county lock up and if you are not careful you will receive the same.  After the hearing the constable or someone will make one attempt to serve you and that is it.  You need to obey the order or face arrest.  Unless you have unlimited money for attorneys fee you shouldn't fight it.  Or you might be using the public pretenders office.  Work this out through a third party and be apologetic and humble.  Get this order dropped or you will run into this person and do some time.  This case was in Upstate NY but the laws are very common throughout the US and some places might add stalking.  Big jail time!  watch your step, the law is on the filers side, file a counter order asap.

Well, there are no guarantees in family law, but I suspect a judge would take that newest baby as prima facie evidence that the mother is not a particularly good influence on the kids.  This is especially true if the father has a decent place for the kids to live, someone to watch them while he works, etc.  She really screwed up, didn't she?

My guess would be that the judgement will create the CCJ, without regard as to how quickly you pay up.  Speak to an attorney for advice specific to your case.

Are you still paying them? I mean putting money into the account that they are garnishing? Are they garnishing it or do they have a "HOLD" on your account until the funds are paid? You take a risk having Direct deposit into ANY account, they can and will find out and then your mother's funds will be held as well. The best thing you can do is get your paycheck in your hand, then cash it at a check cashing store or something of the like, then you can deposit the money into your mom's account. That won't stop them from going further though. The credit a**holes may even try to get the money taken directly out of your check, they do this by going to court and getting a legal document to send to your job, then your employer will know your in debt as well. It sucks, but if I were you, I'd do what I could to get it paid off asap, they don't care what your circumstances are, they just want their money.\nSTOP DIRECT DEPOSIT all together !!!!\n\n\nAdditional:\n\nFor Chef,,, I live in Illinois and this happened to me, they froze my account.  I owed medical bills, under my name alone, I did not have the money, my child was sick, they put a "hold" on my bank account which also had my husband's name on it and neither of us could touch the money in there until the funds were enough to pay off the debt. I went to the bank, the creditor, everyone because my husband had direct deposit and we had to pay rent, they did NOT care... just said.. pay the debt and we'll lift the hold... the judges don't care either, they grant these bloodsuckers the permission to do these things without the slightest regard to circumstance !! I had to borrow money to be able to get the rent paid, then my husband cancelled his direct deposit until we had enough $$ to pay off the debt.. for all those saying they can't legally do it... they did... it happened to me and I went to a lawyer too and they told me there was nothing that could be done because they had a signed judgement against me. I begged everyone and their brother from bank workers to nasty receptionists at the company responsible.. this was over a medical bill... not like I charged up shoes or something, my son was very ill and needed treatment, if I would have had the $$ I would have paid.. regardless... they can do it in some states.. they DID do it... STOP DIRECT DEPOSIT ASAP !!!

The bill of sale operates as a written contract between you and the seller, the terms of which are apparently, one puppy in consideration for payment of $600. As you have actually paid her $400, you have begun to perform the contract, however her performance is not due until you pay the remaining $200. \n\nBecause she has stated her intention to not complete the contract on grounds not apparently part of the original agreement, she has committed what is known as an anticipatory breach, and you can choose to either complete your performance by paying the $200, demand payment, and then sue for her specific performance (tender the puppy), or you can sue now, in anticipation of her unequivocal statement that she will not perform.\n\nIf you choose the latter route (and you should), then you should send the vendor a demand letter stating that you will agree to a mutual rescission of the contract in exchange for her return of your deposit, after which you will both go your separate ways, or that she must send you written assurance of her intent to complete the contract when her performance is due; and that if you receive neither within 5 days, that you will begin a small claims action against her, which if you are successful, will cost her statutory attorney fees and costs of filing suit, plus the refund of the deposit, along with the almost certain negative effect on her credit rating when the judgment is automatically placed on all of her credit reports by the major credit reporting agencies. \n\nYou need your letter to be firm, but non-threatening. You want an amicable resolution of the matter, and you don't want the puppy, because this person will likely be a constant nuisance to you after you acquire it.\n\nI'll bet after she receives the letter that she backs off and sends you your money, or tells you you can have the puppy.\n\nGood luck.

keep appeling. it took my mother 5 years to get hers but finally she did and they had to pay her for the entire time she was in appeal. DONT GIVE UP. ALWAYS APPEAL because if you do finally win they MUST pay from the date the case opened.

If you don't pay her invoice she can report you to the credit agencies.\n\nBy the way, if she is a good con artist she already has your entire conversation recorded and she will go to the Small Claims Court to suit you (I asume her bill is for less than $5000)\n\nIn fact, if you meet her on the road there is a very good chance she knows very well the Judge and she will win the case.\n\nOf course, you can always send her a bill for $4,999.00 and demand payment from her in the Small Claims Court in your city.\n\nMake sure the bill is sent in a way that can be tracked and that she needs to sign for it. \n\nTalk with her over the phone and tell her you are sending her a check. When she gets the package she will asume it's the check and will sign for it.\n\nBefore you do that, it would be wise to pull her criminal record and to investigate if she has been involved in any lawsuits before and if she wins or loses.\n\nIf this is about less than $500 just pay her.\n\nI strongly suggest you to buy a digital voice recorder and always record every conversation when you are on the road to protect yourself against con artists.\n\nI suggest you to see the film "Leap of Faith" starring Steve Martin.
