Divorce

Criminal Defense
In the lower court proceeding, the district court summarily ruled in State Farm’s favor. The court relied on theories of criminal law to hold that the applicant had “common authority” over the cellular telephone at issue and, therefore, her consent was valid and binding. The court stated that “[i]f [the plaintiff] could sue State Farm for over $75,000 because this woman with whom he cohabitates with [sic] and had a child with provided ‘his’ number to State Farm on multiple occasions, debt collectors would be held liable whenever a debtor lists a family member’s number as his own.” The court also reasoned that because the plaintiff lived with and shared a cellular telephone plan with his girlfriend, she had authority to consent to the calls.
Traffic Violations
In 2012, a pregnant woman in Colorado was arrested and jailed after being pulled over for a traffic violation. The reason? A debt collector went to court for a warrant for her arrest—not because she committed any crime, but because she apparently had not answered written questions in a proceeding to collect unpaid credit card debt. Her bond was set at $5,806—an exorbitant sum that just so happened to be the full amount of the debt she owed plus interest. Unable to pay, the woman spent a night in jail in yet another modern twist on the banned practice of debtors' prisons.
Fraud
Madigan’s lawsuit is the first action her office has taken under the new federal Dodd-Frank Act. It also alleges violations of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practice Act. The lawsuit seeks to ban the company from selling lines of credit and revolving credit in Illinois, provide restitution to all impacted consumers and assess penalties for violating the law.
Theft
Misdemeanors
In Benton County, Wash., for example, jail records obtained by NPR and sampled over a four-month period in 2013 show that on a typical day, a quarter of the people who were in jail for misdemeanor offenses were there because they had failed to pay their court fines and fees.
Identity Theft
Zombie debt can even strike the wrong person. With the advent of identity theft and the similarity of many names, often collection companies’ efforts are misdirected.
Restraining Order
Currie shared the phone message with the KHOU 11 News I-Team. In it, the caller claims to be from a civil investigations unit, and threatens a restraining order and lawsuit. more...

Business and Corporate Law

Business Disputes
Nassau County District Court Judge Michael Ciaffa said it was the first time a New York state court had decided a debt buyer could be sued by a consumer under section 349 of the state's General Business Law, which says "deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of any business" are unlawful. more...
Trade Secrets
Unfair Competition
According to the release, the suit, which was filed in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California, accuses Mercury of “false advertising, unfair competition, intentional interference with contractual relations, and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage. The suit alleges that Mercury is illegally competing against Heartland with deceptive trade practices. Heartland contends that Mercury is misleading merchant customers by deceptively hiding its excess profits in the interchange fees charged by credit card networks and their issuing banks.”
Antitrust
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Visa Inc and MasterCard Inc, opening another front in an eight-year battle over credit card fees paid by retailers, on Friday asked a federal judge to declare that the fees do not violate antitrust law.

Personal Injury
Nederland Glass, who was sued by Kevin Armstrong after he tripped over some wood while installing a window, has filed a notice of bankruptcy.
Social Security Disability
Some judges will tell people to get the money from family members or to use Temporary Aid to Needy Family checks, Social Security disability income, veterans' benefits or other welfare checks to pay their court fees first — or else face going to jail.

Trusts and Estates

Probate

Bankruptcy
If you qualify for Bankruptcy, it would stop the lawsuit and most likely discharge all of your credit card debt. This is often the best solution if you anticipate multiple lawsuits on multiple debts. A chapter 7 Bankruptcy will allow you a fresh start.
Foreclosure
The civil lawsuit filed March 11 in Miami federal court alleged violations of the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act and common law fraud. The suit against JPMorgan Chase & Co., Chase Bank USA N.A., Chase Bankcard LLC and Chase Bankcard Services Inc. appears to mirror others filed in recent years against lenders and mortgage services alleging robo-signing in foreclosures.
Debt Collection
