Q: I am being sued by a company over credit card debt. What should I do?: I am currently on Social Security disability and do not own a home. I do own a 2000 model year car.
The lawsuit is for approximately $4200 due to capital one. I became ill and was hospitalized and my payments went into default. Before then I had been keeping up with payments regularly.

Asked 11 months ago in Debt Collection

A: Jacqueline’s answer: I agree with Attorney Hittel and I also recommend getting your lawsuit paperwork evaluated by an attorney. There may be defenses and/or exemptions available to you. Most attorneys offer a free consultation. If legal fees are a concern, consider contacting your county legal aid office or you can visit the self help legal center at your local county courthouse.

Q: Mailed I 485 app And they received it on Nov 1 2016. How long before we hear from them as to wether they except it or not?: We were married Sept 21st 2016. She is here on a tourist visa. It expires 12/29/16… if we don’t hear before the expiration of her visa does she have to leave the country?

Asked 12 months ago in Immigration

A: Jacqueline’s answer: Your question contains a lot of unanswered questions.

Your case was recently filed so I doubt that you have received a receipt notice from USCIS. Until then, you will need to remain patient.

Secondly, you said you filed an I-485, but you did not indicate whether or not you filed an I-130 petition. If you did not file an I-130, you have a problem. I suggest you contact an immigration attorney to discuss your options asap. The attorney will address your visa issue.

Q: Can I file for just divorce and not child custody in Texas? : We were married under common law in Texas and he left while I was pregnant. I did not establish his paternity & I intend to file for divorce on the grounds of either no fault or abandonment. I am a resident of Florida now and I want to remarry and remain the only guardian for my son so he remains with me in case the father decided to fight for custody ( father did not make contacts of any kind regarding the child since pregnancy by his choice and I don’t know where he lives or works anymore). Question is:

Can I file for only divorce and not custody If I won’t ask for child support just yet?

Asked about 1 year ago in Family

A: Jacqueline’s answer: If you are a Florida resident and you don’t know where you spouse lives you can file for divorce by publication. If everything is filed properly, you will receive a divorce, but the court cannot make any decisions regarding child custody, child support or division of property. Technically, you will have custody because your child is with you, but you will not get a COURT ORDER awarding you custody. The issues of child custody, child support and division of property will remain “open” until you can properly locate and serve your husband.

You should consult with a family law attorney for more information.

CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY INFORMATION

For many Americans overwhelmed by debt, Chapter 7 bankruptcy can be a powerful tool for getting you back on track. Chapter 7 is a highly preferred bankruptcy provision. Nearly 65% of all U.S. consumer bankruptcy filings are Chapter 7 cases.

What is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

With this type of bankruptcy, an individual petitions the court to discharge most of their remaining debts. The debtor has the right to keep certain property that is essentially off-limits “exempt” to their creditors. In exchange for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection and subsequent discharge, the bankruptcy trustee can take any property you own that is not exempt from collection, sell it, and redistribute the proceeds to your creditors.

Who can file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

Chapter 7 is not available to everyone, and it is important to understand what specific requirements make an individual eligible to file. Under recent revisions to U.S. Bankruptcy Law, debtors are required to pass a financial means test in order to be eligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and who will alternately be forced to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Chapter 7 is best suited for people who?

Have very little income.

» Debtors are required to pass the means test in order to be eligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
» The MacSim Firm can assist you with this process.

Have very little property.

» Because Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows for the liquidation of some of your property to pay off debt, Chapter 7 is better suited for individuals with less property to lose.
» Certain property can be protected under state law, however in general, Chapter 7 offers less protection for your property than Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Have large amount of unsecured debt.

» Bankruptcy works quickly to dissolve unsecured debts such as medical and credit card bills.
» Under Chapter 7 bankruptcy, some of your assets might be liquidated to pay off these debts.
» Once your case has been discharged, all remaining unsecured debts will be eliminated.Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy can be a powerful tool for dealing with overwhelming debt.Get your Complimentary Bankruptcy Evaluation NOW for immediate help.

CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY INFORMATION

Chapter 13 allows people with a steady income to keep property, like a mortgaged house or a car, that they might otherwise lose through the bankruptcy process.

What is Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?

Chapter 13 will allow you to keep your property and repay your debts out of your income IF the bankruptcy court approves a repayment plan that allows you to use your future income to pay off your debts during a 3 to 5 year period, rather than surrender any property. After you have made all the payments under the plan, you receive a discharge of your debts.

Who can file Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is certainly not for everyone. Not only must you be able to pay for your monthly living expenses, but you must also be able to meet your court-mandated payment obligations. If your income is minimal or inconsistent, or if your total debt is too high, the court may forbid you from filing Chapter 13.

Chapter 13 is best suited for people who?

» Are behind on payments on secured property that they want to keep.
» Have tax debts that cannot be discharged in a Ch 7 bankruptcy case.
» Have debts that are NOT too high.
» Have non-exempt property that they want to keep.
» Have filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy within the previous eight years, and thus are not eligible to file Ch 7.
» Want to protect co-signers on certain debts.
» Have past-due student loan debt.To learn more about Chapter 13 bankruptcy and how it can help you.Get your Complimentary Bankruptcy Evaluation NOW for immediate help.
