If you don't have much equity in assets, then it would be helpful to file either chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy -- depending on your usual income. An excellent primer about either chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy is "The New Bankruptcy, will it work for You?" 3rd edition by Stephen Elias, published in 2009 by Nolo; 346.078 E42N Dewey decimal. Also you might contact a paralegal or lawyer specializing in filing bankruptcy in the state of jurisdiction.

If you didn't pay a credit card bill what should you do?

IF YOU GET A SUMMONS FROM THE COURT FOR ANYTHING, YOU MUST ANSWER BACK TO THE COURT WITHIN THE TIME DESIGNATED OR YOU WILL LOSE BY DEFAULT. THEN THE FILER OF THE COMPLAINT AGAINST YOU WILL BE GIVEN A JUDGEMENT AND CAN DO BAD THINGS TO YOU. IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO ANSWER USE AN ATTORNEY OR GET ONE FREE IF YOU GO TO THE COURT AND ASK CLERK ABOUT A PAPER EXPLAINING YOU ARE INDIGENT AND I THINK YOU CAN GET ATTORNEY FOR FREE...MIGHT VARY BY STATE. IN THE FUTURE YOU NEED TO KNOW THERE IS A PROCEDURE AVAILABLE FOR DEBT RELIEF THAT ALLOWS YOU TO STOP PAYMENTS IMMEDIATELY...BE CAREFUL ABOUT THIS BUT CHECKOUT WEBSITE "www.drg.cc/newlife". THEY ARE THE BEST MOST HONEST AROUND BUT CANNOT HELP YOU IF YOU HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN A COURT SUMMONS.


Can you deduct long term disability insurance premiums on taxes?

No, you cannot deduct premiums paid on disability insurance policies. Two scenarios, first if your employers pays the premiums you would receive the disbursements as taxable income. If you pay your own premiums, then you would receive the disbursements tax free. Either way, you cannot deduct on your individual income tax the premiums paid. Think about it! If your employer paid the premiums, there was no expense to you, hence no deduction!. If you paid the premiums, you do have an expense BUT you are receiving the disbursements tax free and therefore could not take a deduction!


What does it mean when an ATM reads transaction partial reversed?

This error code is generated when a cassette is emptied during a dispense operation and does a partial dispense. The cash dispenser will attempt to complete the transaction from other cassettes. If the requested amount cannot be dispensed, the customer will receive the cash that can be dispensed. The transaction will be completed with the customers' receipt indicating the amount of cash actually received. The cash dispenser will then attempt to complete a Reversal Transaction to notify the financial institution of the error. This error will not put the cash dispenser "Out of Service". The cash dispenser will only be placed "Out of Service" when all cassettes are empty. Remove and refill the affected cassette using normal replenishment procedures. This leads to Partial reversed transaction


Can my daughter file her income tax even though i am claiming her and her son?

Yes she can but she cannot claim herself or her child as an exemption on her own return. If she does this incorrectly you will both receive a letter from the IRS and you may have to correct your tax return and pay back money you received. I recommend that you take her return to your tax prepared to make sure it is done right.

If a credit card sues you do you have to pay the lawyers representing the company and what do you do about the summons you receive?

If the platiff (the person/company suing) wins , you will be responsible for the legal fees. However, that does not mean they will be able to collect. Never ignore a summons from a court of any type, including Small Claims. You may have a very short time to respond. You need to seek legal advice as soon as possible if you receive a summons. Most attorneys will give you a free consultation. If you cannot afford private counsel, there are legal aid organizations that will assist you pro bono, or at a small fee.


What does Summons Returned Non-Est mean and what do I do next?

It could mean one of several things. Anywhere from: the address on the summons does not exist - the individual named in the summons does not exist , cannot be found, or they do not live at the address - or, it could also mean that the summons was signed for by someone other than the summoned party. You must make inquiry of the court to detemine the exact reason.


Can a summons be served over the phone?

Like most legal questions this may vary from state to state and maybe depends on the type of summons you receive. In general you must receive a summons personally or by certified or registered mail for it to be valid in court. For example, if you get a traffic or parking ticket, the officer physically hands it to you on that there is an appearance date. You can receive a summons to appear from a duly sworn officer of a court, a process server or even from a regular person. What happens is on the date of the summons if you do not appear the judge will ask the "complaintant" or "complaining witness" if there is "Proof of Service". The return receipt of certified mail, signiture of the person receiving the summons or again the person who served the summons swearing that the summons was served. In absence of that proof a judge cannot order a bench warrant for contempt or failing to appear and in civil matters he cannot enter a judgment in your absence because you were not duly served and given opportunity to appear. A telephone call or even a faxed or emailed summons will not cover the burden of "proof of service" and if someone does it this way and then swears proof of service and either a judgment is entered or a warrant issued you can request to have it set aside because you were never served. This happened to me once when I was representing myself in family court to request an emergency custody hearing for Christmas visitation and I had the summons which I created as well as the proof of service document for the court and I handed her the summons in the waiting area of the courthouse. She claimed that it was an illegal service and asked a sheriffs officer if I could subpeona her like that and he said of course. I filled out the proof of service and had the officer witness it. It was an unnecesary step but when she didnt show for the hearing it served as proof and she ended up losing by default. Anyway, I would check in your state and see what the law is and as technology improves who knows, one day your computer might suddenly have a message saying "You have been served".
