Me and my family have tickets for OASIS airlines, our flights were scheduled for July, the airline shutdown yesterday. Now what?!? I think we’ve tried contacting our credit card company ( in which the tickets were purchased on) and they said they couldn’t do anything? Are there any CANADIAN? or ALBERTAN consumer laws that obligate the credit company to refund our money or that protect ? or what else can we do short of shelling out another 1500$ each for new tickets?? Thanks for any help given!!

i have 2 questions regarding my father who is 44 and wants to apply for the Los Angeles County Sheriffs, i was unable to find an age cap for those seeking a career with the department. also, my father did apply for lapd almost 5 years ago but stopped once asked for his credit report, he does have a bankruptcy and rather bad credit in general so he dropped his late age push for law enforcement, but now that im applying for C.A. he is thinking about the Sheriffs, does he stand a good chance of advancing through the employment process, i understand that it doesn’t hurt to try but im am asking this without his knowledge to see if he has any chance? does bad credit or a bankruptcy automatically disqualify one?
im sorry, C.A. stands for custody assistant, my father may be 44 but i assure you he is isn’t an old man, he goes to the gym everyday and i at times think hes still just turning 30.

Can anyone explain to me how the bankruptcy law works in the USA. what does it really entail and how long after that can you be credti worthy again? IS this a good idea or its just an easy way out with hidden, much more serious connotations?

What does this mean?
Sec. 207. [42 U.S.C. 407] (a) The right of any person to any future payment under this title shall not be transferable or assignable, at law or in equity, and none of the moneys paid or payable or rights existing under this title shall be subject to execution, levy, attachment, garnishment, or other legal process, or to the operation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law.

(b) No other provision of law, enacted before, on, or after the date of the enactment of this section[103], may be construed to limit, supersede, or otherwise modify the provisions of this section except to the extent that it does so by express reference to this section.

(c) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit withholding taxes from any benefit under this title, if such withholding is done pursuant to a request made in accordance with section 3402(p)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986[104] by the person entitled to such benefit or such person’s representative payee.

My friend (an ABA Certified Paralegal and Bankruptcy Petition Preparer ) has never had a petition returned for amendments or because of deficiencies. Yet now a US Trustee imay sue her because she says my friend is encroaching on the profession of law and is engaging in the Unauthorized Practice of Law. (She has prepared at least 36 of them in the last year or so. (no errors). She charges minimal fees ( never over 100.00) She never gives legal advice. She does provide WRITTEN information most of which she finds right here on line (which they read). Since when is the provision of a Means Test (found here on line) legal advice?
What is the matter with these lawyers? I went with her three times to Bankruptcy Court. The lawyers made more mistakes than some of the pro se petitiioners. Yet the trustees treated them (lawyers) with kid gloves. Looks to me like they are trying to run paras out of business. Then who, pray tell, willl take care of pettitioners who cannot afford lawyers?

I’ve made mistakes in the past and want to start fresh! I live in missouri and i think bankruptcy is my only choice right now! What are the guidlines and what can i file on and what can’t i file on. Also what’s my first step?

The following are some questions I have from a business law class. I really apreciate any help!!

1.) Marshaling resources through equity and debt offerings is regulated, irrespective of organizational form. How do laws structure the forms and their processes of marshaling resources?

2.) EEOC and an agency: Compare enabling and other legislation and impacts on business and society.

3) The Uniform commercial code article 9 and bankruptcy law impact collateral and collection of debt. What do you know about that?

4) The FTC and the Consumer Product Safety Commission operate under enabling legislation and enforce a number of laws. Write about that.

Someone made fraudulent charges in my name. What can I do about this? I got a bill for almost $18,000, I don’t know yet if this is a loan, a credit card, or some other kind of debt. All I know is I didn’t do it. How can I prove this? I can barely pay my own bills, let alone pay for fradulent charges someone else made in my name! If I can’t prove I didn’t make these charges I’ll have to fill for bankruptcy. What if they do something agaist the law, will I be held responsible? Can I get a new SSI number? Is there a lawer, or anyone else that know?

If someone goes bankrupt, do they still have to pay back sooner or later? Is there like a new law, that says you have to pay back?
