I received a phone message from someone claiming I am being sued due to a Fingerhut account from 2005. They also contacted my brother in a nasty manner. When I called back, the person provided my SSN and was uncooperative when I mentioned my ex-husband used my SSN for his purchases. I am located in New York and am unsure if this is a scam or a legitimate issue. What should I do next to protect myself and determine the validity of this claim?

My 84-year-old dad with vascular dementia owns 1/4 of my house until my mom's will is probated. He has hit my son and is letting others live in the house without my consent. I want to know my legal rights and how to get my personal possessions out of the house if he won't let me in.

I owe the state of Montana over ten thousand dollars and the interest is adding up. I have not contacted the IRS directly concerning this matter. I have an accountant who sent a letter of hardship to the IRS, but the issue has not been resolved. I also inherited a lot of money when my husband died in 2017, which I foolishly invested in a marijuana store, losing everything except my home. What steps should I take to address this tax debt?

I received a small claims/debt claim case citation in my current county in Texas. It requires me to respond within fourteen days. I believe my debt was sold to a third party. Is this a scam, and if not, what should I do given my current financial situation (unemployed, taking care of disabled children, and dependent on my husband's income)?
