I do not know what to do Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:45:42 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/corporate-credit-card--personally-liable--168025.html Hello, I had a corporate American Express card. The company went out of business. American Express is claiming that I am personally responsible for the charges. I have asked for proof or something that I signed saying that I was responsible. They said they don't have anything since the card was issued originally in the 1980's. Another person trying to collect told me that when I received the card in the mail there was some fine print attached that said that if I used the card I would be responsible. The card actually says CORPORATE on it. What really are the liabilities personally? Is there a way to fight this? This certainly impacts hundreds of thousands of people who have Amex Corporate cards issued to them by their company. Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:39:23 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/a-judgement-has-been-made-against-me-but-the-firm--167975.html A complaint was made against in 7/08 me to which I called the firm and requested a repayment plan. They agreed but failed to send me one. I recieved a notice of judgement from the firm in 9/09 stating I could still settle for less. I then called and faxed to no avail. Yesterday I recieved a post judgement interrogaties packet. I called and the firms rep was a nightmare refusing to give me any information or option to resolve this matter. I am currently in a debt counseling program. What is my next move? Can I file a request to pay judgemet in installments? How do I not become 'incontempt of court' but still protect what little income I make but not giving information to the firm to use to levy my account?

We had verbally agreed that he would pay me back when he could. However, it's been over a year and I have not received a penny. I have emails and texts staying that he will pay me back but no actual signed document though. I also have a copy of the check. He's currently unemployed, drowning in debt and unwilling to cooperate. Will I be able to prove this in court and get my money?

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:26:28 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/i-had-a-car-loan-with-nissan-motor-acceptance-and--167866.html I had a car loan with nissan motor acceptance and the car was returned as a voluntary repo. From there they stated that I had to pay the difference of 10,000. So I started sending them 25.00 a month and they were accepting it. Then they handed my case off to a collection agency and they accepted my 25.00 a month. Then the case was handed off again to another agency and they were accepting the 25.00 a month. Then a coule days ago, they stated the nissan brought back the account and now nissan or another agency is requesting that I pay them 3500.00 by the 30th and today is the 24th or they are going to garnish my wages. I have never received a letter in the mail stating that the account was transfered again. Please help. Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:15:40 PST
