Comment on Its not OK to hide assets and file for Bankruptcy by John

John — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 18:40:11 +0000

My brother and I were both on a mortgage loan until I re-financed to a new mortgage loan in August 2008. At that point, and currently, I became 100% financially responsible for the re-financed mortgage loan. The original loan with myself and my brother is closed.

My brother is currently having financial problems and I think he should file Chapter 7. Would the re-finance in August of 2008 be considered “hiding assets”? I'm concerned about liens on the new mortgage loan/property.

The probable reason would be they had used much cheaper materials in constructing those buildings in order to save more money for them too bad they have to do such kind of thing

Comment on Pressler & Pressler, Foster and Garbus, and Cohen & Slamowitz among several New York debt collection firms sued by Attorney General by maybell

Have been paying them every month, started over phone calling in the payments to them. Then they got an on line system in may? and all of a sudden in July, I made a payment and it looked as if it went through on my end, got a confirmation number and took a screen shot of the payment.
A month later I got a notice about non payment. I called them and told them I had a confirmation number and was told that if I am paying my significant other’s bills that I have to fill out an affidavid allowing me to do so. New company policy. I told them, but it was the same debit card that I have used in the past, but was told that new company policy, affidavid must be filled out, so I did and continued payments.
Yesterday, my significant other’s boss got a subpoena for information to garnish his wages and there was a judgment made in their favor against him that was made in October.
When I contacted them with regards to this, I was told that because I did not make proper payment to them in July, that we where under breech of contract. I told them we had proof that we did attempt to make the payment and do have confirmation of it, but for some reason, your company did not process it (new company policy) and did fill out the affidavid that was required and was told that we did not show up to the court hearing.
We where never given any information as to the fact that there was even one! No letters no calls, nothing! I did not even hear from them until yesterday to even know there was a problem! I would go on line and make my payments every month. I have proof of all payments made. I have proof of the affidavid that we signed in August. I have proof of payments coming out of our accounts!
How can they make a judgment against us when we are paying? How can a court issue them permission to garnish his wages if we have been paying our bill every month?
They told me that there was nothing they can do, we should have been at the hearing with all this proof but according to their records, payment did not go through in July for company reasons and new regulations and because we where late as a result, it breeched our contract with them. But since we where not there to provide that proof, there is nothing they can do at this time but to follow through with the judgment.

This seems quite unethical and illegal!
