Postponing a Summary Disposition

I am being sued by a credit card company. I received a summary disposition notice but would like to postpone it to buy myself some more time. In doing so, I'll be able to come up with the money I need to pay my debt. How can I ask for a postponement in civil court?

Filing an ''Amended Answer''

I attended a ''Hearing on Motion to/for Judgment on the Pleadings'' on February 22, 08. At this hearing the Judge explained that because the plaintiff didn't respond to a ''tentative ruling'' she made, that I now have 30 days to ''amend'' my answer.

I have 30 days from which date to file an answer?

How does ''amending and answer'' benefit me?

Thank you for your time!

Final judgment not signed by judge

Harassnent from collection agencies

My 80 year old mother has a fixed income of just over $800 a month. She has probably around $30K of unsecured dept. She is constantly being harassed by collection agencies. She gave my cell phone number to one of the agencies and they are now harassing me on my cell phone when I actually have nothing to do with this. They make horrible comments to me on the phone about me and my mother. I have told them they should not be calling me, but since they have my number, they are still calling. They say mean things to me then slam the phone in my ear or we are conventiently disconnectes. How can I get them to stop calling me?

Can my paid-off car or other property be seized?

I am in default 2 months on 2 of my 4 credit cards and will soon be on another card and a home-improvement loan. I have always paid and had A+ credit before this. I still haven't missed a payment but am just paying what I can, but not even the minimum payment. I have contacted the card co & explained my situation & that I fully intend to pay but I can't do more just now. I need to know if a credit card co seize my car or put a lein on my house when that card was not used for the purchase of either? More specifically, wouldn't they just have a right to seize items purchased with that card? Also, can a card co raise interest rates simply because I am in default on another card but not on theirs?

Collectors

When collectors are calling you and threaten to garnish your wages or sue you what are my rights in Texas?

old collections

I have a collection that was originally from 1999. It has recently been placed with a collection agency/law firm. They have contacted my mother to find me. When I called them back they wanted to verify where I live, the car I own, and where I work. I told him to never call any other number than my cell number. A fax just came to my office to verify my employment. The fax included my social security number. I want to know if they are acting within their rights, how they are getting all this infomation about me and what I can do to make them go away.

Being Sued

I received a notice today from the courthouse saying I was being sued for an old credit card debt from 2001. In 2001 I made a settlement offer with that credit card company for 469. The original bill was 875.The amount I am being sued for is 1769. I called the attorney and told him this. e wants proof that there was a settlement offer and my receipts. I don't have receipts from 5 years ago. He wants the whole amount paid which is double the original amount. The lawyer said it is interest. I am no longer working because I had a recurrence of cancer and the only income I receive is Social Security Disability. The lawyer said he would accept payments of $125 a month but only after I sent him a copy of my award letter from Social Security which I do have. What should do. I have torn my house apart looking for these receipts to show paid it. Thank you.

Checking Account Garnishment Exemption

My ex husband is a deadbeat. He owes GMAC and is responsible for the debt according to our divorce. But because I showed up in court to prove this and gave them my info...they made a judgement against me. I have been paying monthly...but they still garnished my checking account. Here's the problem. I live in Illiinois now...eight hours away from the Missouri County where the garnishment was filed. Where do I file for an exemption based on my head of household status? No one in my small IL county seems to know anything. The Sheriff's office in the MO county where the garnishment was filed says I have to file for the exmption in the county in which I reside. Is this correct?

co-signer of a car loan

Repossession

We had a vehicle repoed in 2005 and are still receiving calls trying to get us to pay a reduced amount. We have told them that we do not have the funds to pay it. I sent an email asking them to Cease and Desist which worked fine at first. Then we thought we were going to sell our home and would have the extra money to pay it, so I contacted them. Which I guess allowed them to begin calling again. They call me at work. I have sent another fax requesting no calls at work and for them to Cease and Desist. My question is, do I need to be concerned about them putting a judgement against my home or they have told me they could turn in a 1099 C to the IRS, can they do this?

Death of in-law and creditors

My Mother-in-law passed away recently and left with some unpaid credit cards. She lived with us and owned no real esate or property other than the clothes on her back. Her only source of income was SSI checks as she was not in the workforce long enough to earn Social Security income. Are we libel for her debts at all?
