LadynRed Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 KB, that poster has already had numerous answers to his questions, I've seen the posts. Good advice has been given. The guy needs to SHOW UP in court - he'll be given the opportunity to negotiate. Any assets in his wife's name can NOT be touched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb9tbq Posted October 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Thanks, I gave the guy about 6 or more sites to post to - for fast response but that was just this morning - when I found him on the other forum - Tom (BrainDonar) has. I knew that we did not have enough people over there to tackle his quesitons. So just started branching him out... did not know he had already been doing just that himself.I posted back to him... that he should of given more info as far as his state and exactly to know which creditor it is filing the judgment - since to me the OP was not clear enough.
