No they absolutely cannot tell you that you will be arrested. That is a clear violation of the fair debt collection act. You can report them to the FTC and even hire a consumer attorney who will go after them. Its a $1000 fine for each occurrence but you would have to have them recorded saying this. It is very common for most collection agencies nowadays to threaten you with being arrested or issuing a warrant for an arrest.

What happens if one company has a judgment an sells that part of the comany to another?

That's pretty simple to answer: Judgments don't go away because a company is sold or even goes out of business. The successor to the company or its assets has the right to pursue collection of the judgment. Occassionally you can get rid of the collection efforts and the judgment if you protest it on the basis that you were not given advance warning that the company was seeking the judgment. This is a legal matter that should be discussed with an attorney. Your rights may vary from place to place. However, if the judgment is discharged because you were not so warned, the new company may decide that it is not worth the time, cost and effort to obtain a new judgment.

If you filed bankruptcy and are now facing foreclosure can the bank get a personal deficiency against you?

Yes, if the state and loan documents allow for a deficiency judgment, the bank can sue for one after the home has been sold at the sheriff sale and there is a deficiency. If the homeowners are sued after the public auction and the bank gets a deficiency judgment, then bankruptcy can be used to discharge the judgment. However, bankruptcy can not be used in advance before a deficiency judgment or other debt even exists to preclude its possibility.


Arrange Transportation for Travel in Advance?

Transportation should be arranged when possible at the time a flight is booked. Some companies offer travelers deep discounts if they book their hotel, airfare and rental vehicle together. Travelers that make arrangements to rent a vehicle at their destination location in advance will also be more likely to get their choice of vehicle. In locations where rental vehicles are limited, travelers that do not book their vehicle in advance may be left on foot.
