Will you go to jail for fleeing after hitting a parked car?

If you are caught for commiting a "hit and run" accident, you will likely be:

  • given a ticket for the accident
  • given a ticket for leaving the scene of an accident, plus any other ticketable offenses they determine
  • might be charged if the hit and run caused bodily injury
  • might be charged for faling to make a police report (it is required in some situations)
  • the police will want your statement - remember, you can be charged also if you lie to the police-- better to say nothing until you consult an attorney if you're being charged
  • if charged, you'll need to be arraigned and post bail, return later for a court date and might need an attorney too
  • You will have to pay all the tickets and court costs.
  • you'll notify your insurance company who will want your statement
  • you will get points on your license
  • your insurance rates will go up
  • you still need to pay your deductible to get your vehicle fixed -- a high deductibe will be an ouch to your wallet
  • you might not have a car to drive for a while while it's fixed---or until you can afford the repairs
  • your insurance will pay for the damages to the other vehicle(s)
  • if costly enough, your carrier could terminate your insurance
  • you'll face embarrassment but better to get it over with
  • If your parents' car, whatever punishment they decide.

If you don't report it, the police can still end up finding you or your damaged car. Better to report it yourself. But you'll still be dealing with all the things stated above.

What happens if you file a police report against someone for abuse?

Reports to police fall under criminal, not civil, since anyone unfortunate enough to have experience will tell you. When the police are called on a civil matter, they tell you to take the person to civil court. While a report may still be made on a civil matter (if the officer is kind enough to take the time to do it), it appears that the only time you can file criminal charges for false report made against you is when the report involves a crime being committed. Here is the law according to The Texas Penal Code:

Texas Penal Code - Section 37.08. False Report To Peace Officer Or Law Enforcement Employee § 37.08. FALSE REPORT TO PEACE OFFICER OR LAW ENFORCEMENT

EMPLOYEE. (a) A person commits an offense if, with intent to

deceive, he knowingly makes a false statement that is material to a

criminal investigation and makes the statement to:

(1) a peace officer conducting the investigation; or

(2) any employee of a law enforcement agency that is

authorized by the agency to conduct the investigation and that the

actor knows is conducting the investigation.

(b) In this section, "law enforcement agency" has the

meaning assigned by Article 59.01, Code of Criminal Procedure.

(c) An offense under this section is a Class B misdemeanor.

Acts 1973, 63rd Leg., p. 883, ch. 399, § 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1974.

Amended by Acts 1993, 73rd Leg., ch. 900, § 1.01, eff. Sept. 1,

1994; Acts 1997, 75th Leg., ch. 925, § 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1997.

I found this info here: http://law.onecle.com/texas/penal/index2.html, where it appears you can view laws for all states.

If you report your car stolen which is your name but in possession of your estranged wife will she be arrested?

Yes, you can. Before reporting it stolen I suggest you record (with her permission and knowledge of recording) that you want car otherwise it will be reported stolen. If she refuses to give you the car then you can report it stolen. I would check with local police or county police as some will not care and do nothing but get your car back without arresting spouse. It depends upon the state you reside in and the circumstances under which the vehicle came into her possession. Simply because the vehicle is in one spouse's name does not translate into the other spouse being liable for grand theft auto or any criminal act.

Do you have to pay for a car if it gets repossesed?

Yes. The borrower is responsible for the entire loan amount. The car is considered collateral for the loan. This does not imply that the loan value cannot exceed the collateral value. In fact this happens on almost every car loan, especially with new cars. The lender can repossess the car and sell it. They are required to apply the proceeds from the sale to the loan principal, but any remaining balance is the borrower's responsibility.

The government has the right to take property without paying for if needed for a public improvement or benefit?

False

The government may NOT take property without paying a fair price for it. And they must use due process to take it over.

Amendment V of the US ConstitutionNo person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

What property can you keep in Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY EXEMPTIONS

This is written with the assumption that the reader already knows he/she qualifies for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, and already has a familiarity with the steps in the process of receiving a bankruptcy discharge.

If you are not sure if you qualify for Chapter 7, take the FREE MEANS TEST:

http://ezbankruptcyforms.com/media/Form_B22A_Means_Test_Calc.pdf

Many people fear filing for CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY for this very reason: The information that needs to be entered on "SCHEDULE C - BANKRUPTCY EXEMPTIONS".

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is exercised under Federal Law. Over 90% of the bankruptcy process is uniform from state-to-state...except this.

A common misconception is that a CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY DISCHARGE wipes out all your debts AND forces you to give up all your belongings. This is not true. You ARE allowed to keep certain things after your discharge. WHAT you are allowed to "claim" on "Schedule C" varies by STATE BANKRUPTCY LAW.

While one cannot put an exact number on the value of your exemptions, you can pretty much (with some exceptions) guarantee that you are able to keep your clothes, TVs, and other household appliances. Each state has laws to claim other exemptions, most of the time up to a certain value (for example, a car up to a blue book value of $3500). Certain states provide "wild card" exemptions, where you can combine certain assets (such as a car and bank account) up to a certain value.

These values change on January 1st of each year, most of the time increasing the value of what you can keep.

It is for this reason that the "State Exemption" values posted online are often out-of-date.

If you are not filing with the help of a lawyer, a good BANKRUPTCY SOFTWARE FOR CONSUMERS program can guide you through this process, ESPECIALLY the relationships between Schedules A, B and C.

How do you collect from a person who has declared bankruptcy?

If the debt is included in the bankruptcy, the only option is to petition for the stay to be lifted. This is seldom granted unless it is secured property, or there are mitigating circumstances.

What does the bankruptcy lawyer do after you file for bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy lawyers take care of the massive amounts of paperwork and communication with the court. But perhaps the most important thing that an attorney can do is the consulting aspect. The law article below discusses what a bankruptcy attorney does. She will direct you as to the best type of bankruptcy to go for in your particular situation and clearly state the advantages and drawbacks.

How do you word a bill of sale?

Depending on which state you live in, you may be required to use a state approved bill of sale form. The state approved bill of sale forms typically require information such as: the seller's and buyer's name and address; the car's vin number, make, model, body type & year; odometer reading; and sale price. Some of these state approved bill of sale forms also require the seller's and buyer's signatures be notarized. Other states have moved this information to the title for you to complete when you sell the car and no longer require a state approved bill of sale form.

What happens if you default on a loan?

Payday loan interest is exhorbitant. If you default on a payday loan the interest will escalate. Payday loan lenders are at the bottom of the heap of unscrupulous lenders. They know you are in need and they know you may not be able to pay your loan on time. Generally, they will not set up a payment program with you and therefore the interest continues to build on the amount you owe until the entire bill is paid.

If you have given them access to your bank account they can cause your bank fees to escalate with Returned Check charges as they continue to send checks against your account.

You should call your state attorney general's office to make certain the lender is licensed in your state. If the lender isn't licensed, the AG's office may be able to provide you with the number of an agency that can help you with this problem.

Do eeoc investigators carry badges?

How long do you have to wait to purchase a new vehicle after your chapter 7 bankruptcy has been discharged?

Your a deadbeat. You don't make good on your promises. Would you lend you money?

Having learned from your prior bankruptcy...where you screwed those who trusted you the last time you failed to perform on your promises and such...the answer is: when you can actually afford one.

Is it wrong to love someone who cheated on you once after being with you four years and he wants to be with you after two years of being apart?

no Maybe or maybe not. We don't know the circumstances of the cheating, your ages, if this was the only time, or a string of affairs, is he repentent, are you ready to dump him for ever if it happens again? How can we answer a question with so little information? No. You can spend your precious time loving anyone you want. If you love him give it a shot! It's been two years and people MAKE MISTAKES and he may have matured by now and wants to prove to you he has matured. After two dates you'll know if he's changed for the better and if he has you can start a strong relationship and if not then you can walk away. As humans we need to gauge such things as someone cheating once because people do make mistakes. I have often posted there is zero tolerance for cheating and it's a chicken way out ... in other words people who want to date someone else have the option of being mature enough to tell their current girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife. Youth is about learning, so, he made a mistake and perhaps he's grown up. If you see everything in black and white then you could lose out on some great events in your life. Meet with him and see what happens. What do you have to lose!

Can disability be garnished?

Yes, your disability check can be garnished. The reasons can be child support and taxes even across state lines. This happened to me. Yes I am speaking from experience not some law book or hear say. You have no protected income.

How do you get your personal belongings out of an impounded car that you have not yet put in your name?

Yes. You CAN retreive personal property (and your tag) from an impounded vehicle. There should be no charge for the storage of the property, however you will need proof of ownership of the vehicle. Repossessions are treated differently and you would most likely incur storage charges for your personal property. (Florida)

In Texas what is the statute of limitations for a finance company or collection agency to sue you after a car has been repossessed?

4 years on promissary notes. A judgment occurs when a creditor takes you to court and sues you for money you owe them. They must do this before the statute of limitations has expired for the original debt.

What is the California statute of limitations for debt?

The statue of limitations in Ca for a credit card debt is 6 years from the last payment made on the account. I have been working in Collections for 14 years and they legally cant take you to court and get a judgment on you if you have not paid toward the account in 6 years. However it will still stay on your credit report for 7 years. A lot of Card companies will sell your debt to collection agencies. Don't be intimidated by them.... They will try to tell you that the time starts over because they own the note now.... NOT TRUE.. It will always go by when you made the last payment.
