QUESTIONS

  • One of my creditors has chosen to sue me to collect a debt. Supposedly a judgement was issued against me, but the paperwork was so confusing, I could not understand it. I do not own a home or a car and my only income is Social Security. The letter from the agency selected by the credit card company says there are various means they can use to collect. My question is, what CAN they do to me? A call to the agency got me nowhere. I am also the sole caregiver for my handicapped mother.
  • Can HUD or FHA garnish my Social Security and Honeywell Pension for expenses if my Reverse Mortgage defaults?
  • My Nephew and I started to rent a room from the homeowner and without notifying us before moving in the house was almost foreclosed on till it was sold to a different owner. Now the current owner is saying we have less then two weeks to vacate. What rights do we have in regards to this unforeseen situation?
  • Where can I find a court approved parenting class?
  • Hello I recently moved in my apartment on 8/15 at that time my air conditioning was not working blows out warm air. I notified the office they sent a technician over the same day. I told him my air doesn't work he TOLD me it does and changed the air filter. Which it did not. I contacted the leasing office again around 8/31. They called me left a message to speak with maintenance. I called back TWICE never got a response. My air did not get fixed until 9/16! And my electric is now shut off because I cannot pay a 850 dollar bill. Should the leasing office accommodate me for these times?
  • In the state of Arizona in a no - fault divorce does the state require a period of separation
  • There was a pipe leaking by my parking spot for the last couple months. My water/sewer/trash Bill almost doubled for the last couple months. We pay w/s/t with our rent when it is due but we get a separate w/s/t bill and it shows that for almost 2 years my w/s/t was roughly the same until last month. The complex gets one bill and divides it by common area the apts pay the rest is divided to the residents. I believe the complex wasn't paying for their leaking pipe they were dividing it amongst the apt units. Can they legally do that?
  • Landlord took 45 days to fix mold and pipe repair. Landlord has taken 50+ days to fix a broken microwave. I have not been able to bill clients when I am at the house waiting for contractors. I have calculated almost 40 hours of time acting as her "Property Manager". What can I do?
  • Is it possible to remove a domestic violence charge from my record to stop having a delay when I purchase firearms?
  • I have had got behind in my rent back in March of 2019 due to some health issues I had to leave my job. I receive disability and so I have been paying what I could afford. The landlord took those payments but with all the late fees building up. Was informed today that our apts were sold and new owners served me with a 5 day notice. There is no way that I can pay in full in 5 days nor can I find my family another place in 5 days. What can I do?
