WASHINGTON — “This is the strangest statute I have ever seen,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said near the end of a Supreme Court argument on Monday.

The justices had spent most of the previous hour trying to puzzle out the meaning...

I think I asked this before but I'd really really could use input - my filing may be weeks - perhaps 2 months away.

SHOULD I be referring the gazillion collection calls to the atty? The atty says YES, BUT - am I giving a "heads up" to someone to essentially say, hey, let's...

I finally formally retained my atty so now I can tell my creditors I am filing and give them his name/number.

I am actually excited about talking to them because it has been over a month of 30 or so calls a day that I didn't answer. I looked up the numbers and added names to them...

How emabaressing, my exsister inlaw whom I am still friends with keeps getting phone calls from NCO Financial, as have my exhusband, and now my exmother inlaw...that is the worst feeling. They have all been nice enough not to give my new number, as we have good relationships...but everytime it happens...

This may be painfully long but I'm wondering whether I have an cause of action already (are robo-calls for collections per se illegal and are there statutory damages), and what happens if these clowns try to post something to my CR based just on name and address.

I recently moved from...

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great holiday.

Went thru discovery phases (received...

I have never answered a call on my cell phone unless I know who it is. I just am not willing to spend my cell minutes dealing with collections. Anyway, there's been this "unavailable" number calling my cell phone for weeks now. I've always ignored it until today. Feeling cocky since I...

Hello. I am new to this forum.

A Belleville woman contacted News 4 after she started receiving vulgar phone calls from a California debt collector.

Tammy Henshaw's daughter Angie died last May, she says she was unable to pay the funeral home $5,000 for the casket, the service, and use...

I stopped paying on all my cards in September. Inevitably, I started getting the phone calls from creditors. I plan on filing chapter 7 in February. I wanted to get some input on whether the calls will get more intense before I file, or is this is bad as it gets. I have most of the calls blocked on...

Hello,
I am new here. Heres a brief description of my situation: I know I will be filing Ch 7 in a few months. I have to wait until about Nov/Dec to qualify for Ch 7. (I had a second job but lost it to layoff...so now my one full-time income will qualify me for Ch 7....I was also recently injured...

I got my attorney on a retainer a week ago and finished filling out all of my forms and have a review on the 27th. My phone just started ringing with creditors; who duh, Im not going to pay I am filing bankruptcy. Should I not answer or should I tell them I am filing? Isn't it better to kinda, spring...
