15% of my salary has been taken due to the Governor's furloughs. I had to abandon my home with its adjusting mortgage and stop paying my second mortgage. Three weeks ago I was served papers stating I was being sued by Beneficial, the 2nd mortgage company. It's "limited, > $10,000 but < $25,000. To respond, it costs $360, which I don't have. I'm not eligible for a waiver. Can they give me time to save up the money? What is the longest time I could get? I'm barely making ends meet because of the furloughs.

I saw a psychotherapist for ten years due to an abusive and traumatic childhood. After terminating therapy, I discovered she published a 'fictional' novel containing scenarios from my personal history. While she didn't use my name, I'm disturbed that she used my trauma for her own gain. Do I have any private legal recourse or any recourse at all?

I have a PD plate on my car, a Chrysler 300, and received an overtime ticket marked with the correct tag number but listed the wrong car as a Cadillac. Can this be legal and should I fight this?
