If West Acres filed another eviction case against me and Tommy, would we have the opportunity to file a response stating that the case has already been heard due to res judicata? Also, am I obligated to provide West Acres with Tommy's address for service, and if my eviction gets overturned, can I press criminal charges against Charley Williams for holding onto my rent checks until after the eviction?

I received a call from a law firm stating that Jackson Hospital hired them to sue me for an unpaid hospital bill from 2017. I don't recall receiving any treatment or notices about this bill. What should I do?

Is it wise to inform a creditor that I will be forced to protect my wages and bank with an exemption if we do not reach a settlement? Additionally, can I mention my financial hardship, the fact that I am the sole income provider for a family of five, and the possibility of filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy if a settlement cannot be reached? The lawsuit is for $5300, which includes collection attorney costs and fees. Would it be realistic to offer a lump sum of $2000 as a settlement?

We were scammed by a bank representative who falsely put us through a fake loan. The representative was supposedly based in Bellevue, WA, and we put down a total of $140k as a down payment, which was never recorded. The lender no longer works at the bank, and the financial institution has no record of our down payment. We have reported this to local authorities but need legal assistance to recover our money. Is there any lawyer who deals with such issues, and how can we proceed legally?
