Q. Ex-husband listed me as a creditor, but lied and said he didn't know where I lived on his chapter 7?
A: It's important to address this situation by understanding the potential implications of your ex-husband's actions. Since he declared bankruptcy and listed you as a creditor, stating he didn't know your address could affect various legal aspects, especially if there were debts owed to you or other shared financial obligations tied to your previous relationship.

First, consider obtaining a copy of the bankruptcy filing from the court. This document will provide details on what was reported, including how creditors were notified. Reviewing this could clarify whether his statement has had any direct consequences on your financial standing or on the process itself.

If you find discrepancies or believe that his actions have misrepresented your situation or led to financial harm, it might be wise to consult with a legal professional. They can offer guidance on whether you can take any corrective actions regarding the bankruptcy case, especially if it involves matters like child support or other mutual financial responsibilities. Keep in mind that even though the bankruptcy has been discharged, there may still be ways to address any issues arising from incorrect information provided in the filing. ... Read More
Q. How to find out in California what doctors are associated with hospice license? Hospice fraud case
A: In California, to verify which doctors are associated with a hospice license, you can begin by contacting the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). This agency oversees licensing and compliance for health facilities, including hospices. They maintain records of all licensed hospices and the healthcare professionals linked to them.

You can also look into the California Medical Board's website. This platform allows you to search for medical professionals and view their affiliations and any disciplinary actions. By entering the name of the doctor in question, you can find detailed information about their practice and possible connections to any hospice services.

If you suspect hospice fraud or have concerns about the validity of the doctors listed, consider reaching out to the California Hospice and Palliative Care Association. They can offer guidance and resources on how to proceed with your inquiries or report potential fraud. Additionally, consulting with a legal professional experienced in healthcare law might provide you with strategic advice tailored to your specific circumstances. ... Read More
Q. The company I work for is in receivership and clients have cancelled orders because of it. Can I get lost commissions?
A: You can indeed file a claim for the lost commissions as a creditor in the receivership process. When a company goes into receivership, the receiver's role is to manage the company's assets and debts, which includes assessing claims from creditors, including employees who have lost income directly due to the company's financial situation. Your commission losses as a result of cancelled orders directly stem from the company's current financial state, so submitting this claim would be appropriate.

To proceed, follow the instructions provided in the letter from the Receiver about submitting claims. Typically, this involves filling out specific forms and providing documentation to support your claim, such as sales records and communication regarding the cancelled orders. It's important to submit your claim by any deadlines mentioned in the letter to ensure it's considered in the receivership proceedings.

Regarding your concern about potential repercussions for filing a claim, while it's understandable to worry about job security, legally, employees are protected against retaliation for asserting their rights under such circumstances. However, workplace dynamics can be complex, and if the investment group takes over, there's no guaranteed outcome regarding employment. If you have doubts, it may be helpful to discuss this with legal counsel or a trusted advisor who understands your specific situation and can offer guidance tailored to your circumstances.
