I need help immediately!  The trustee in MD that I have is a "nightmare."  He is ripping me off big time.  How is that legal?   Where is the justice?

I'm going to give you a nothing answer right now, so I'll be able to find this a little later.  Ray\n\nEnough is enough.  You have rights.  1) call the your attorney and ask him why he is not assisting you.  Then tell him that you are going to call the  U.S. Attorney General's office and report the case to them giving them full disclosure of what has taken place.  That your attorney  has been paid, the award was granted. but that he has not followed up on why SS has not paid you.  I am not an attorney, but  a consultant, and will  work on this case for you at no charge, if you wish.  We can use e-mail or phones, whichever you prefer.  So many problems with today's social security, someone needs to do something and do it now.  Local SS offices don't care and won't help much.  We have to go to Washington.  I have my sources for getting things done.  Joyce

It's "trustee" not "trusty."  I suspect that extensions are not limited, but check the U.S. Bankruptcy Code Index and see if you find any rules re extensions and read up on it.  You should be able to find a copy of the Bankruptcy Code in a single volume at local federal court library or confer with a bankruptcy attorney and/or volunteer lawyer association (check your state bar-it may be able to refer you to a low cost source for legal information or assistance).  I do not believe that trustees "get" a portion of the debts collected, but have a responsibility to muster assets on behalf of creditors.   Hope this is somewhat helpful.

Sounds like a situation I am going through.  They're ruthless scavangers who intimidate people by calling their debt collecting business a big shot law firm.  I wouldn't give them a dime until you are fairly represented.  Definately talk to a lawyer and have him or her defend you in court.

If I were him I would quickly  hide my assets.\nGet the books Hide Your Assets and Disappear\nand How to Be Invisable.\n\nHe needs to become judgement proof fast. This means he has no assets that can be found to attach. That would certainly be what I would be working on if I were him.\nIf he has been served with a Notice of Default Judgement, I think that is pretty much the end of it. He is in default and the judgement is that he is liable and it is over.\nJust hide you assets fast, that is the only thing you can do.

This is a really complex subject for these short forums.\n\n\nThe clock doesn't start until you get a Notice of Default. Regardless of when you made your last payment that starts it. \n\nThere are several details that the lender (actually the trustee) needs to perform. Normally that won't affect you.\nFrom the Notice, you usually have 120 calendar days until the Trustee's Sale. (Sheriffs sale is for something else, similar)\n\nIf the house is still occupied at that point, the new owner can immediately get an eviction. \n\nThe lender has certain rights -- sometimes they can change the locks. Many of those are spelled out in your finance document. \n\nIn California, borrowers have more rights that most other states, including a right to redeem the house after the Trustee's sale. \n\nSometimes the lender can 'forbear' or wait a while, but they do not lose any of their rights and most important, their fees and late charges and trustee charges NEVER stop.\n\nSomething  bad must have happened otherwise you would'nt be in this bind. I am sorry. You can get out of it, even though it will be hard. Please email me. I know someone who may be able to help you, but time is short. You need to change your goal from 'Staying in the house' to 'Getting out with the most money in your pocket.'\n\nBest to you, \nLeigh\nhttp://www.LeighMaynard.com\nReal estate guy since 1986

So the lawyer has taken another morgage on your property. In my opinion it seems that the Lawyer has committed fraud, in which case is a matter for the criminal courts. In the case of the loan Im afraid as the law stands here as long as the morgagee (loaner)was innocent in his dealings the loan sticks. I would hire a lawyer quick smart and dependeding on your countires land law you may be entitled to compensation. It seems that the Lawyer may have said " I represent X (your name) who has requested a loan on the property, morgagee doesnt care makes preparations. Im afraid the loan stands, with the option of a possible statute remedy (see a lawyer).

I am so sorry to hear. It must be very difficult for you and your family. \nI hate to say this, but if my son had this many charges against him, I would have to let him deal with the consequences. Otherwise, the only thing he would learn is that "mom and dad (or one or the other) will bail me out." I've seen this happen to someone who I am very close to and she is on the verge on losing everything, including her mind, trying to keep her son from dealing with the responsibility of his actions. What happens when mom and/or dad are no longer there to bail him out? When does he start learning responsibility for his actions? Chances are that he will outlive you and if he doesn't learn now, then what happens to him? Not to mention the people he has harmed by committing these crimes. It is harsh, I know, and I'm sorry. I know this has to be extremely painful for you. \nHaving said that, if I were determined to try to help him, what I would do is contact an attorney for a consultation. Many atty's give initial consulations for free. I would contact Legal Services which is for people who cannot afford to hire an attorney and is usually located in the blue pages in your local phone book (if your phone book doesn't have blue pages, I mean the section for government phone numbers). I know in our area they have certain times each week you can call, speak to an atty and ask for legal advice, no charge. \nThe website is for a criminal defense lawyer in Lubbock. Don't know how close you are to him but his site says initial consultation is free.

Write out a timeline of everything that happened, attach any documentation you have supporting this information and send it with a letter of complaint to the state bar association.  Follow up on a weekly basis by phone & in person.  Eventually, if you make enough of an nuisance of yourself they may bring all the lawyers involved up on charges, either suspend them for a length of time or disbar them, and make them reimburse you the amount of money you lost.\n\nI went through this same type of thing in Louisiana with an attorney who barely got me divorced and never followed up on the property settlement or child support.  He ended up being suspended for two months and reimbursing me half of the $1000.00 I'd paid him.  It took me two years of being persistant with the Louisiana bar to finally get some satifisfaction in this situation but it worked.

That was bad advise from your attorney. Get a free consultation from another one. 10,000 dollars is too much to just "forget about" Did the morgage fall through on bad faith actions from yourself? And besides it the Principal of the thing!

you are right on track.this one is a slam dunk.though you are doing every thing right you need to contact your attorney generals office because she is adopting unfair and illegal business practices.this PERSON IS HAVING SERIOUS FINANCIAL PROBLEMS AND IS TRYING TO TAKE IT OUT ON YOU,You sound like you have enough fight in you.go get her.If I were you I would start by sending her a certified letter indicating intent to file charges against her for double dipping,and to file a $5000 dollar small claim against her for attempt to defraud.if she goes ahead with her claim to send your "bill"to a collections agency she is only giving you additional ammunition for your claims.If this thing appears on your credit you can get it removed by showing that this is an attempt to at distortion.It will also give you the additional info.you need for a successful claim.

Call the lender (or, possibly the collections agency if your situation has gotten to that point).  Many companies are willing to work with you because defaulting on a loan is bad for their business, too.  However, you have to show them that you are a responsible borrower:\n\n1.  Explain to them what happened (tell them just what you told us here)\n2.  Tell them that you will take responsibility from now on (the loans will always be in your name, so even if your mother still plans to pay them off, you should still keep a watchful eye on your account balance to make sure that she is never late) \n3. Ask what repayment options you have at this stage.  Some lenders will put you into a forbearance in order to alleviate your payment problems.  Other lenders will recommend that you consolidate your loans in order to lower your monthly payment.  Others will, as you suggest, devise alternative payment options called an "income contingent" or an "income sensitive" payment plans.  Ask them if they can do this and, if so, whether they can make your payments close to $50.  Generally, once you make 6 consecutive payments on time, you will be out of default, which will help your take-home wages and your credit report in the long run.\n\nRemember, too, that collections agencies deal with a lot of lazy people -- show them that you are different.  If the person you speak to is having an "off" day or doesn't seem willing to help you, try again.  Consider asking your former Financial Aid Office to contact them on your behalf (I have done this for students) -- sometimes they are more pleasant when dealing with someone "in the business."\n\nFinally, one of your rights as a Stafford or Perkins Loan borrower is that you be allowed to speak to an ombudsman when things get rough.  You can find one and learn about what they can do at http://www.ombudsman.ed.gov/  (Basically, an ombudsman is an individual who resolves disputes through an independent viewpoint; they do a lot of impartial fact-finding to make sure that you have been treated fairly.)

This isn't an instant answer, but most states now have offices which will help you track this man down.  Access differs from state to state, but I suggest you contact your governor's office and the same office in your former state.  Check for the governor to have an assistant named something like 'Consumer Protection Advocate' or an office of his Attorney General's Division of Consumer Affairs, or similar.  Don't be afraid to ask his operator to route you to an assistant who might help - they are generally good people, and, believe it or not, helping you is an important part of what they are paid for.  It's how the governor stays in office, and one of the reason he wanted to be in that office.  Federal officers can also be a resource now, too.  Human Services folks are now likely to help you track this guy down and garnishee any money coming to him from the US Govt.  Good luck.

He's full of poo and trying to scare you.  I would get some REAL LEGAL advice though and not that of yahoo!answers.  I live in Northwest Florida and I know they have free legal advice.  I can not recall the name of the agency, but you might look in the phonebook in the area you are living.  Good luck and Thank Goodness that you know all of this now rather than later.

GET A LAWYER!! seriously they can't screw you like that I'm sure. Call Balkin and Doran. There are some places advertised on regular cable (2 or 3 am that's all you see) that will pay up front and you don't have to pay them back if you lose. You only pay them if you win.

You  need to examine the Trust document, which is not easy to understand. Ask the administrator of the trust and/or consult a lawyer
