If I owe an unsecured debt, can I be protected by creating an LLC?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James C Higgs (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Stein & Higgs, PLLC
Your share of ownership and profit from the LLC would be responsible to pay your debt. The Creditor would first have to discover that you were the owner of the LLC, and then find a value to what the LLC owned. They could do this through a Creditor's Inquiry at the Court, if they get a judgment against you.

Can my unemployment check be garnished if I can't pay consent judgement payment due to mortgage payment?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Unemployment checks are protected from creditor claims under state law, but if the money is deposited into your bank account along with other money, it may lose its protection. Also, if you owe a debt to your bank, the protection may not be available to you because of a contract provision called "set off." I would need to know more about your situation to be able to provide you with a complete answer.

How Can I stop a Credit Card Lawsuit from Chase?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Austin M Hirschhorn (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Austin Hirschhorn, P.C.
You need to immediately hire a lawyer to defend you. If the facts as you state them can be proved you would have a defense to the claim. I assume that there may not be any documentation about the settlement agreement but if you have notes about the person or persons you spoke with and made the agreement with it is possible to use the court process to subpoena the account records from Chase to determine if they support your statement about the agreement that was reached. If you have any documentation that supports what you say such as a letter transmitting the payment on the settlement stating the agreement regarding the settlement it would then be a credibility issue as to what you are saying and what Chase is claiming. The biggest issue you will be facing is that the cost of litigating this matter could easily be more than the amount that is being claimed and it might make sense for you to try to make a settlement with Chase. I know you tried this before and it does not seem to have worked but your choices at this point are limited and if you do nothing Chase will get a Judgment against you that they will be able to enforce.
