QUESTIONS

  • I request that the light outside my apartment be repaired on January 11, 2019, then again on March 11, 2019, and again today March 15, 2019. According to my lease all light fixtures inside my apartment and in common areas will be repaired by the leasing agency. Currently, there are no lights at near the stairwell, my apartment is at the top of, to provide safe lighting. I keep getting the "we need to order fixtures" as the reason that it is taking so long to repair this item. What course of action can I take to either fix the lights or be released from my lease?
  • My husband and I are in the process of getting a divorce, am I able to purchase a house before the divorce is final?
  • I owe a credit union in Michigan $25,000 for Visa and $175,000 for second mortgage. They wrote the balances off 12/30/2010. I continued to make payments on the mortgage thru May-2012. I have not received any communications from the credit union since then. In June 2013 I received a letter from a collection agency that states that I owe $200,000 on the 2nd mortgage and $32,000 on the visa. What are my rights? What am I obligated to pay? Does Arizona have a law that creditors are not allowed to solicit more than what they paid for a debt? Your help would be greatly appreciated. SB
  • My husband passed away and had a credit card that was in his name only. Am I held accountable to pay that debt off? And I am confused, do creditors have six months to file a claim, after they receive the death certificate, or 6 months after you probate? Thank You!

  • Was told by my interviewer that I must present all of my family's birth certificates so that DES may "stamp" them. She said this was a law as of April 2006, however, the first time I applied, they did not say this, nor did they "stamp" our birth certificates. I'd like to know where I can find this law, and will I be turned down for food stamps and AHCCCS if I don't let DES stamp our birth certificates?
  • Where do i go to get signed up for the parenting class?
  • WHAT COULD I DO IF I AM UNEMPLOYED AND THEY ARE STILL TAKING THE SAME AMOUNT OUT OF MY UNEMPLOYEMENT CHECKS?
  • My ex-wife is making me pay some of her bills. Because of this I cannot afford an attorney for a divorce. Even though I make enough money, I can't pay because she's making me pay these bills. How can I get a low cost attorney or free consultation?
