I'm trying to write an answer to a complaint regarding an unpaid credit card balance. I need to determine if I should include an affirmative defense and how to do it effectively. The complaint was served in California on October 21, and I have until this Friday to answer. I don't have the funds to pay the full amount demanded by the plaintiff, and I also need to file for a fee waiver at the court when I file my answer.

My daughter, who is now 25, left a rental unit when she was 19, and the landlord is charging her for 4 months of rent. This outstanding bill has been reported to credit agencies and is preventing her from renting other places. How can we make a settlement request and ensure that the debt is marked as settled on her credit report for future rental applications?

I live in Massachusetts and own several Class C weapons. I was granted an FID three years ago after my DUI, which was over seven years old at the time. With the new laws, do you believe they will grant me a Class A license? I've only been convicted of DUI and had continuances on marijuana possession. Even though it's been more than 10 years since getting into trouble, and despite Massachusetts being tough on gun laws, I fail every NIC check. So, my only buying option is personal sales within my state. Can I expect to be rejected for a Class A in 2019 or earlier, especially if I want to join my local police academy? What are disqualifying misdemeanors to become an officer in Massachusetts?
