Legal Answers
834 Questions Answered
- Q. Is my credit card debt from 2016 protected by the statute of limitations in Florida?
- A: If there is a wage garnishment, there is a judgment against you. Judgments are good for 20 years in Florida, so there is a long time before the statute runs. You filed for an exemption? You are the one who filed, nobody knows what the basis for your claim is. You have to prove that you are entitled to whatever exemption you are claiming; the creditor doesn't have to prove that it is entitled to the garnishment.
- Q. Gap insurance claim denied, credit union lawsuit after total loss
- A: The gap insurance carrier is a completely separate company from the dealership, and the dealership is not your agent. The way to address the situation is to bite the bullet and contact the law firm that filed the lawsuit (or the credit union directly if the credit union filed the lawsuit on its own) and see if you can negotiate a payment plan.
- Q. Advice on helping my son with debts after eviction in Pensacola and considering bankruptcy.
- A: You can help him by helping him find a bankruptcy attorney who is admitted to the US Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Florida. If your town is close to the Fla/Alabama line, you can look in both Florida and Alabama. I don't recommend filing bankruptcy without an attorney.
