Car accident with no insurance, over ,000 in debt, what should I do?
I was leasing an ‘07 BMW and back in November of 2008 I was in a car accident a few days after my insurance ran out. I paid for my insurance up front the last time for a year, therefore because of some circumstances, I was unaware that it ran out when it did. Not saying it wasn’t my fault, but that’s the truth.
Anyway, like I said I was in an accident and it was MY fault. The other guy had a Saab and the damages to his car were about ,000. The damages to my car were about the same. Bmw has sent me a couple letters, but I haven’t spoken to them yet. I made a plan with the other guy’s insurance lawyers to pay them like 0 a month for the next twenty-some-odd years! I am definitely not in the same financial situation that I used to be in (it’s a long story). I’m basically broke. I want to know if anyone has any advice as far as filing for bankruptcy goes? Can I even file for bankruptcy under something like this? Or will I completely lose my license? Or do I have some other option to lower something? I am unemployed and have no assets. I am only 22. Someone please help me with some advice! I was stupid, I want to change, thank you for not judging me and giving some positive advice.

I was an idiot and bought a home with my cousin. We jointly own the home. I got married and we had a baby and my cousin and I decided that I would leave the home. She signed a lease in June stating that she would be 100% financially responsible for the home for one year and keep the home in good condition. She never paid a penny. I found out in August she was going to file bankruptcy and walk away from the home. I worked with an attorney to get her out of the home so I could work figure out what to do. She did not leave until mid-September (now the home is 4 months behind in mortgage) and the house was a mess. All the appliances were missing as well (brand new stainless steel appliances that were part of the mortgage) when I finally gained entry into the home. She signed a Quit Claim Deed over to me as well. I cannot catch up on the payments and so I got the home ready to sell. She damaged the home, left it a mess and stole the appliances. I replaced the appliances (with second hand, not as nice white appliances) cleaned the home and fixed the damages. I also have to maintain the yard as well. I started working with a real estate agent and they said I needed her signature to sell the home. I called the bank and they agreed that the quit claim deed really does nothing for me at all. I had my real estate agent call my cousin to ask her to work with them to sell the home, she refused. She said she’s going to file bankruptcy and walk away free and clear, leaving me to take care of the finances of the home. My agent told her that the foreclosure that could happen would still count against her and my cousin just hung up on her. I had my father talk to her mother (they are siblings) and that got me no where. She won’t speak to me as she is "afraid" of me (she’s a lying, deceitful, nasty human being, unlike myself and I have never done anything to her except have her kicked out of the house that she lived in without paying for 4 months). Anyhow, so I have tried every avenue that I can think of to have her work with the agents to sell the home and not have a foreclosure, I feel like I am being held hostage financially. I haven’t received anything from her lawyer about her filing bankruptcy (and she hasn’t yet, I check weekly with the courts). I have a couple of questions -

1. Anything I can do to her for not working to get us out of this financial situation that she put us in? Can I legally hold her responsible?

2. When should I file a case against her for the broken lease and damages to the home? Should I wait a little longer to see if she’s putting that on her bankruptcy or not?

Thanks for any answers…

A few years ago, about the year 2006, I had a car accident. My insurance was canceled because they didn’t get the payment on time. I hit one SUV and got hit by a diesel truck. I had my drivers license taken away because of that. I was supposed to get my license back a year later when it was suspended again. This time there was a judgment for me to pay ,000 for damages to the SUV that i hit. I didn’t get a letter saying i need to appear in court, and by the time i got the letter saying i need to pay the fine, it was too late to repeal it. I can not get my license back until i pay that fine. Will I be able to file bankruptcy to write it off and get my license reinstated or do i have to pay the ,000?

Can someone sue me personally if they were injured during my work with a company vehicle and already got a settlement from my company for damages they said they had? Question is my company paid someone for alleged damages sustained to them and their vehicle now they’re wanting to sue me for attendant care etc when they got a scratch on them and already received money(s) from my work. Or do they have to go thru my work, The letter said "please give this to your insurance company immediately"so i gave it to my work since I am covered on their insurance when using their vehicles since I drive for a living. Plus I am in the middle of filing bankruptcy so should I tell my lawyer about this also ?
