QUESTIONS

  • I BOUGHT A NEW HOUSE A YEAR AGO AND KEPT THE OLD HOUSE THAT I HAD FOR 13 YRS AS A RENTAL PROPERTY SINCE THE LOAN BALANCE WAS LESS THAN THE VALUE. THE TENATS DEFAULTED ON THE MORTGAGE AND I WAS UNABLE TO BRING IT CURRENT. IT IS CURRENLY GOING UNDER FORCLOUSE. MY QUESTION IS- CAN THE BANK COME AFTER ME SINCE IT WAS NOT MY PRIMARY RESIDENCE? I NEVER PULLED CASH OUT BUT I DID REFINANCE A FEW TIMES AND PAID OFF OTHER SMALLER LOANS AND CREDIT CARD YEARS AGO.
  • I moved out of a rental home on 10/16/15 but was made to pay for the entire month of October. Did the 14 days for returning my deposit start on 10/16 or 10/31? Also, 14 days since both days has passed and I'd like to file a claim in Small Claims Court but I moved out of state. Are there options for out of state former tenants or must I travel back to Arizona? Thank you.

Can i be force to pay this by the court on this unsecured loan

  • recently was given a Chapter 7 discharge, but Mortgage lender will not give me another loan modification because of income is not sufficient enough. I am behind in Mtg payments can I file a Chapter 13 to get caught up on delinquent mtg payments.
  • girlfriend tenant moved out. took without a written agreement items such as washer and driver ( I am paying on) and sectional sofa (gift from my sister) that I had and were in home before she moved in. police report filed but told nothing to be done but court?
  • Clicked to renew my lease and got an email accepting that request. Went to log on to the website to sign the new lease and it was not available. Informed the apartment management and received an email saying they would write it up and send it, however I still have not received anything. Can they for some reason not renew my lease after the initial acceptance? My current lease is up at the end of June, if I did not want to renew I would have had to give 60 days written notice. Can they give me less than I am required to give them if they do not renew for some reason?

Today was court I was told wouldn't have to go I had an accident a week ago broke collar bone & arm &4 mos pregnant. Do I have to go and what about my moms money?
  • we are currently listed as owner's to a mortgage but signed transfer of property- deed papers to an investor of whom we have been making monthly payments to. We have been informed by the mortgage that our payments have not been submitted and that we will soon be in foreclosure. What can we do? This investor promised to assume the mortage as well as the property but really only filed tranfer of property and continues to collect our money, of which has been steady each month.
