I financed a truck for my ex-boyfriend, 2 years ago. He made the payments - can I sell? Or does he have ownership, too?

1. Lawyer up. 2. Have your lawyer contact his lawyer and demand everything he's basing his theft accusation on. If he doesn't have anything, then your lawyer needs to wave a few Rules of Professional Conduct under his nose and also threaten a defamation countersuit for the accusation that was sent to the dealer.

Bankruptcy of a friend.

First, your friend's bankruptcy wiped out his obligation on the note that the trust deed secures (I'm assuming this was a typical Washington purchase with a trust deed, not a mortgage.). That makes the note a dead letter, but the bank's security interest in the property is still very much alive. Second, the state court proceeding terminated your friend's interest in the property through his conveyance to his girlfriend. He apparently is no longer on title. Third, the bank can still enforce...

Can a dealership keep my plates and title from me when I file chapter 7 bankrutcy and still owe them $400 but they arent leinhol

I think the dealer is the one who will be scolded by the court. He conveyed title without retaining a lien, which should be his problem, not yours. Now he is withholding property of the estate, or at least impairing it. Not even a secured creditor can do that without obtaining relief from the automatic stay, and he isn't secured. He needs to turn over the title and plates.

You need to contact an attorney who does mechanic's lien work. There are several in that SnoKing area. Whether you can file depends on whether you have followed procedures up to now, and a lien attorney can advise you on that.

Can collectors put a lien on my house and what is the process and time.-

You should definitely look into bankruptcy. It looks like you won't be in a position to repay these bills in any reasonable time frame. Your income appears largely exempt, and you have no equity in the house, so there is nothing for creditors to attack now. Time to get out in front of things.

Can a landlord keep your deposit and, overcharge for cleaning?

I agree with Ms. Powell and add a couple of things: First, if they didn't do an exit walkthrough, how are they claiming the deposit by default (other than the old "It has my troops all over it, that makes it mine" argument)? Second, if you went through a DV mess, talk to the Victim/Witness office. You're entitled to help from that quarter. At the very least, they can help you shut down the landlord's claim that there was no DV.

Can a landlord give a resident a lease violation for “gossiping?

I concur with the previous answers. Since you were vacationing out of state, I'm assuming you are not in some sort of rehab facility with special rules. I can say without hesitation I've never seen a lease with a "no gossiping" clause, so I'm hard-pressed to figure out just what the landlord claims you violated.
