I entered into a contract with a concert provider in 2006 for $15,000 and the promoter never put the concert together or returned my money. He has been telling me that he is working on a deal to get money from others to pay me or that he will pay me when he does another concert. The deal was for a specific concert during a specific time frame. What is the statute of limitations for this Ponzi-like scheme?

I am a victim of a crime committed by my lease-partner, and I am also facing a retaliatory eviction. The leasing agent has used fraudulent methods, including debt collection and eviction threats, and there have been incidents of harassment and pressure in our home. I believe the leasing agent has committed debt-collector crimes. Should I request a change of court, and is a victim lease holder also subject to eviction for breach of lease?

If I receive a civil action interrogatory from a law firm representing a client suing me, do I have to fill it out, especially if they ask for sensitive information like my social security number and bank account details? What are the consequences of not filling it out, and how can I protect myself and my family's financial situation if they threaten to seize my bank account?

My mom is in the hospice stage and hasn't transferred the title of her house to my brother and me. We were told that if she needs 24-hour care, Medicaid will exhaust her savings first and then continue to provide her care, but after she passes, the state will take her house. We need to get the title switched over to our names, but is there a timeframe that this doesn't apply? If we took care of this this week and my mom needs 24-hour care right away, can the state still take her house? Is there a way to protect her savings?

Our son is listed on our checking account, and a debt collector has levied a writ of garnishment against the account, taking all our money without prior notification. Our son has never contributed or withdrawn money from this account; all funds are from my husband's payroll and my social security. Do we have any recourse, and are there limits to what they can take?

I just bought a car in Indiana from a used car dealership under an "as Is" agreement. I had a trade-in without the title and no insurance policy number. The car has issues like a missing hubcap, check engine light on, a headlight out, no spare tire, and unchanged oil. Can I return the car and get my old car back, and will the loan still go through without the insurance policy number and title?
