Is it true that an attorney will not file your bankruptcy until you paid in full and is a retainer stop an impending garnishment?

The attorney is only another unsecured creditor after filing, so most will not file until paid in full.

What can be done regarding a default judgement on a medical bill over 7 years old?

Michael C Hyde
Answered by attorney Michael C Hyde (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Office of Michael Hyde PLLC
There are several "IF" involved here. If your grandson was not living with your at the time the medical bill was incurred and IF you did not sign the medical release form as guarantor for the payments, then the judgment against you is invalid. You can petition the court to re-open the case to hear your side of the argument and you will have the opportunity to present proofs. If your grandson was residing with your and/or you guaranteed the payment of the medical bills, then that is another matter. If your grandson is legally an adult, then the responsibility falls to him to pay the bills. If he is still under the "care and supervision" of his parents, and he is a minor, then they are responsible. Either way, you can petition the court to bring them into the judgment against you and to hold them responsible for the bills. However, even IF all that is true, if you voluntarily agreed to be the responsible party for the unpaid medical bills, then the court will still look to you for payment.

Its not her fault. It's yours for leaving money where someone could get steal it. Why did you not keep it and hand it to her yourself?
