I have a civil judgment against me in the state of Georgia. The plaintiff has filed a petition to seize and levy on a painting that originally belonged to my late dad, and I have committed that painting as collateral to another person in Texas since February 2009. The sheriff was at my house in Savannah to seize it, but I have removed it. He told me that by refusing, I can go to jail. What kind of protection do I have?

A school board attorney sent me a letter stating that they found no evidence to support my claim that my Request for Access to Records dated September 25, 2012, and September 26, 2012, were mishandled or unethically handled by the school district. I never claimed anyone handled my claim unethically. I asked for an opportunity to inspect, review, and copy public records. I was never given this opportunity. The attorney mailed a copy of this letter to the school board, superintendent, and Director of Human Resources. I am also the agent on the school district's dental/vision employee benefits plan, and those people vote on employee benefits. The Director of Human Resources had already said my plan was going to go out for proposals, which could make me lose this my only client because I am on SSDI and receive renewals on this account. Is this considered defamation under libel laws?

The contractor did not indicate a 3-month wait time initially. What are my options for recourse under Florida consumer protection laws?
