32-18th amendment – prohibited liquor
33-big business – their policies
34-Drepression…just kind of a duh
35-stocks purchased on credit-pretty much because people had to sell stocks at lower and lower prices, because they didn’t have the money
36-california-great dust bowl, read Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck
37- no idea, maybe defaulting on taxes?
38-deepened – he didn’t really do anything, thought he’d let “the market do its work”. it didnt.
39-fireside chats – like Obama’s youtube addresses today.
40 – new deal
41 – FDIC, you can hear it in the news

43 – Fascists I believe. Like Italy, Germany
44 – don’t know – maybe A or B

Ok I need a really quick answer my car payment is 3 weeks late and they send the recovery service to pick it up. I called the lender and told him that the payment will be there on friday he still sends the repossession guy over to my house.

I know that they can’t do anything without a court order. So is it safe to keep my garage door closed till friday. I need some answers quick please

Answer by Bill C
I’m really surprised they tried to repo a car after only 3 weeks.
Yes, your right, the repo people can’ enter your garage to get the car. If they try to force their way into the garage, then they are breaking the law and can be arrested and subject to civil suit.

He made huge debt (over 50 thousand) to 4 major credit cards while in New Jersey.
Since Feb 2006, he has no job, no nothing … literally nothing, stopped paying, moved out of state, no contact with creditors or response to court orders. (A lot happened with other cards). Now,
Card-1:
With Original Creditor
Principal 10K.
With penalties 15K
Card-2
Been sold 3 times and with an outside recovery company.
Principal 19K.
With penalties 27K.
QUESTIONS:
We understand Bankruptcy may be best option… its apparent it’s quite easy in his case. BUT please advice on the below.
1) In this scenario, how much these agencies would agree for one time payment?
2) How should we proceed OR should we hire an attorney to do this work for us?
3) Are there any better options such as consolidating?
4) Plz recommend attorneys, consolidators, any thing.
Big Thanks.

Answer by echo
Regarding how much the agencies would agree to a one time (reduced amount) payment depends on a few factors – age of the accounts, if they had sued and won (you had mentioned court), etc.
If the accounts are fairly recent and/or they received default judgments on them, they probably will not discount the amount much.
If the accounts are pretty old since he defaulted and there are no judgments, they may work with him on a much lesser amount.
If the accounts are past the collecting SOL with no judgments, they would probably be more inclined to settle for a greatly reduced amount since the only way they could “legally” get paid on the accounts is with his offer to pay. Or, if they are past the collecting SOL and there is no judgments, he has a legal right to send them a SOL letter informing them the account(s) are no longer legally collectible and he has the legal right to not pay.
He needs to order his credit reports to see who/what is reporting.
He also needs to contact the court clerks in “every” county/city he has lived in since his “very first” default and ask if there is anything filed in his name.
If he decides to try to work with them, he should first start by sending validation letters. If/when they properly validate he might send them his offer along with the requests that they consider it as “payment in full” and that they will delete what they have placed on his reports.
If he is considering bankruptcy (BK), he might speak to a BK lawyer.
You/he might also click on my profile and click on the last link I have listed. Do some reading in both the credit forum and the BK forum. (It is a “totally free” site with a great deal of info on it)
He will be able to get an idea of what it takes to try and deal with the creditors or what is involved in filing BK and would probably be able to decide if he would want to file on his own or spend the money to have a lawyer file for him.
Filing BK on ones own is not for everyone. If he reads through the forum and has any doubts about being able to handle it, he should get a lawyer

appear in court. they can make payment arrangements. that would probably be best you shouldnt avoid this. they cant put you in jail but they can garnish the hell out of your wages and make you pay court and lawyer fees, which would suck..

I’v done all I know to do, Please help me and answer, it involves my son’s care?
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on July 12, 2010
Okay, if anyone of you have ever seen some of my other questions posted, you will know, this is a long story, so to try and make it short… My son has a dead beat dad who parents keep taking me to court to let my son be able to visit him in rehad and jail (granted they didn’t care about seeing my son EVER, not even before he went to jail) Last time we went to court, something happen and it got postponed but we found out that he is currently in rehab awaiting trial for meny felony charges in which he will go to jail. But they are giving him weekend passes to come home. We have a old outstanding order to let him have supervised visits with my son everyother weekend fri-sun. If he gets out for a past, I have to make my son go or I’m in contempt. I have a lawyer who says there is nothing I can do to stop this. But there has gotta be! Can’t I do some kind of emergency hearing to stop visits?
he gets the weekend passes from rehab. don’t you think its crazy to let someone with a drug problem out on weekends? Once when he was on his way to pick up my son, he got pulled over and was cought with a stolen, loaded gun and drugs and went to jail. He has about 7 felony charges he is awaiting trial for and they let him out on the weekends! It doesn’t make since
his visits are supervised but its by his parents and my son has to stay at there house all weekend long.

LAWYERS PLEASE HELP! According to this letter from the prosecuting attny., how much time is my bf looking at?
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on July 10, 2010
First of all, my boyfriend has only had a DUI at age 18 which I don’t think went on his permenant record. He is now 33. He became a heroin addict and is being charged (I think) w/ stealing 2 checks from his former employer and cashing them. The amount totaled around $750. He was charged with 2 Class C Felonies. A year later, he stole some merchandise item from another employer. I believe it was valued around $250. This was a Class D Felony. This is the letter from the prosecuting attorney to his lawyer:
Dear Mr. ________,
In an attempt to resolve the above referenced matter, I can propose the following plea offer. The defendant would plead guilty to as charged to Count 1, Forgery, as a Class C Felony. He would be sentenced to (8) years in the IN Dept. of Corrections. Two (2) years of said sentence would be suspended and the defendant (MY BOYFRIEND) would be placed on probation for (2) years. The defendant willl be ordered to pay court costs and restitution to the victims in both counts under Cause Numbers____ and restitution to victim anunder cause number_________. The defendant may petition the court to modify his sentence to work release or GPS after serving 1/2 of the executed sentence. Upon sentencing, Count II in, Cause Cause No. __________ and Cause No._________ shall be dismissed.
PLEASE DISCUSS THIS MATTER WITH YOURR CLIENT AND ADVISE AT YOUR EARLIEST POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY.
My boyfriend obviously would have never done any of this had it not been for heroin. I am NOT saying he doesn’t deserve time (HE DOES) but this seems very harsh for someone who never had a record until recently.
He already has done 2 1/2 months in jail (where he is now) and was on tether for 3 months after the first arrest as a condition of his bond. He does not have any money and cannot afford the best lawyer. Nor can his lawyer suggest a rehab because my bf doesn’t have the money for rehab. I believe he deserves a year in JAIL but no time in prison.
My main question is what is he really looking at here????
THANKS!
What should I do? Family trouble. Please help.?
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on July 9, 2010
This is long but I need your help
I’m 19 (male) and my brother is 21. My brother is an alcoholic (Very violent and angry drunk) and has been since he was like 15. He’s been in and out of jail and rehab but nothing has helped him. He has a DUI and hasn’t been able to get a license for about 2 years. He currently has no job and is living at home with my parents and I. He is taking a medication called antibuse to prevent him from drinking (court order) and has been drinking anyway.
I’m working full time and attending local college. I smoke pot every week or two, but when it comes down to it I’m very responsible.
Lately my brother has been getting out of control with his drinking again and has been throwing things and breaking things, yelling and making threats.
My dilemma is that since I was 13, my life has been mostly destroyed living with my brother. He does nothing but criticize my existence and threaten me. He’s unapproachable when he’s drunk because he’s very violent and angry. He calls me and lies to me to get me to lend him money (which I dont), and yells at me when i opt no (cuz i know its for booze).
My main concern is he gets his license back soon and I can promise he will get a new DUI. I feel like it is my responsibility to tell authorities that he is still drinking uncontrollably to spare other drivers on the road. His last DUI he went 80 mph into a pole on a 45mph road and walked away with no injury.
My parents don’t know that he’s currently drinking. I’m afraid that if I say something about my brothers drinking, he will tell my parents I smoke. Which will in turn get me kicked out of the house.
What are my options to have something done about my brother’s excessive drinking problem, he’s going to end up killing himself or someone else.
DYFS Issues…need HELP!!!!?

Problems with DYFS…need HELP!?
In 2009 I was in jail serving time because I had an illegal gun in my possion. I was cleaning it and it went off through my apartment floor. Nobody was hurt thank god. It was stupid that I had it and I regret what happened and did my time. While I was in jail my ex wife decided to go out and shoot dope, leaving our son for weeks at a time with family members. One day she tried picking up our son at my mothers and she was high and with another man that she had been cheating on me with. My mother called the cops and our son was taken and sent to live with my mother in law. I had no clue any of this was going on until I was released from jail. When I was released I had no son, no wife, no house, no car, and no money. She spent everything on drugs and tattoos and crashed my car. I wasn’t allowed to see my son for 8 months after I was release from jail because DYFS wouldn’t allow it. When we finally went to court they gave her custody back because she got her G.E.D., went to a parenting class, and was taking methodone. They granted me visitations on weekends with my mother present. They told me I needed to complete outpatient rehab (even though I am not a drug addict and have no drug charges unlike my ex), complete parenting classes, and anger managment ( even though I have no anger problems and never had any charges against me for any type of violent act). Because my son means so much to me and I refuse to walk away from him like my father did to me I am doing all of those things that the court has ordered me to do even though it is ridiculous. I feel I did nothing wrong except make one stupid mistake of having an illegal gun ( I didn’t even know it was illegal because I didn’t know the law in the state of Virginia because I had just moved there). I feel that my ex was the one who made this all happen and I am the one being penalized. The courts and DYFS are making me out to look like the bad guy when really I was always the better parent and bonded more my our son from birth. He’s my world and this is tearing me up inside. I hate seeing him go through this. My ex is still hanging out with drug addict ex cons and getting drunk on a daily basis and smokes in front of our son who has allergies, and drives illegally. She would be homeless if her mother didn’t enable her by sending her money and buy her a car. She is also getting welfare and milking the system making them pay for half of her rent…little do they know her mother pays the other half and utilities. She is a horrible mother and DYFS is on her side. I’m seeking a lawyer and I want to file a complaint against DYFS. My caseworker is the worst and can’t do her job. I’ll call her 8 times a week and leave messages and get no response. When she does finally call back she can never seem to give me a straight answer and seems to be on my ex’s side. They don’t know her and how she is….if they did they would take my son away again and I wouldn’t be able to get custody because I don’t have a car. I don’t know what to do anymore…but I’m not giving up on my boy. I just want DYFS gone. They are ruining my son’s life. They are supposed to help children not take them away from the ones you love them. I don’t blame them howver for taking my son away from his mother, just blame them for taking him away from me.
Yes I am going to a lawyer next week…hopefully this can all be worked out for my sons sake.
