Can my mandatory minimum paid drug fines be ruled excessive in Pennsylvania? I owe $92,000 after serving a 7 to 10 year sentence from 2008. I make monthly payments but would like to see if they can be waived or reduced. I am concerned that my daughter may have to sell my house to repay the remainder after my death. I had no prior convictions, was set up by a confidential informant, and received three concurrent sentences totaling 7 to 10 years for three drug sales. I have no misconduct in prison, no parole violations, and faithfully pay $20 a month.

My father lent me $40,000 to pay legal bills for my divorce. He is now trying to make me sign a promissory note that includes my paid-off Tahoe as collateral, which we never discussed. Additionally, he is holding my golf cart, horse trailer, and my child's dirtbike hostage until I sign the note. What should I do?

I have paid over $4000 to an individual in Bali for ornamental fish, but he is not shipping my fish and keeps delaying the shipment. He is also not refunding my money despite multiple requests. The money was wired to him, and I have all the bank statements and text messages including his ID. I am in Texas and would like to take action to get my money back. What steps can I take?
