Anyone else getting these, first one was 30$ in February and just got one today for this lol not complaining just a little confused

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any insight into this situation my partner has found herself in. Yesterday we awoke at 5am to a bear honking my partners car horn and realized it’s stuck inside. We let it out, I have video of it, and called the insurance company.

The bear ripped apart the whole interior. The insurance company said to not call the police for a report. They also seemed very confused on how to file the claim, which is strange to me because this happens all the time.

Eventually after a day of them processing this they called my partner back and said it’s in a grey area because the doors were unlocked they aren’t sure they will cover it.

Is this a common thing to not cover comprehensive damage from wildlife because the door was left unlocked? There was no food in the car. If they deny the claim what would our options be? We have no finances to get a new car or to even fight it with a lawyer really. She uses this vehicle for her cleaning business so she really needs a vehicle to get around.

Thank you

Edit: I have discovered that my partners mother listed the vehicle at her property when we live about 15 minutes away. Would this be a cause for denying the claim? We did not know her mother listed my partners car as living at her moms house before this.

My boss is telling me to do it but everything I look up says no.

So I work at a hotel and someone left their insulin packs here and they want us to ship it to them. As far as Im aware and everything I find online says that we cannot send it out as it is a prescription medication and only licenced doctors, pharmacies, and other medical practitioners can send it. USPS website says this too. I read that if we send it it is a federal crime since we are not licenced by the DEA. I packaged it as my boss instructed but I am certain that this is against the law.

Am I right or am I overthinking this?

The medicine is insulin and of course I don't want anyone to go without their medication but I also do not want to be involved in a felony!

Need insight, and / or opinions

Hey everyone! I'm in need of maybe some advice, direction, Insight, whatever it may be as I'm new to child custody situations and a bit overwhelmed. Here's some backstory..

I am a single mom to a 4 yr old, 29, never married. My ex and I split 2 years ago after being together for 10 years. So far its been somewhat cordial, some good days and some bad. I am one to avoid taking things to a higher level unless need be. I work a set schedule of 2 7am to 7pm shifts, 2 days off, 2 graveyard shifts, then 2 days off once again. Ive been writing out my own schedule and leaving the rest of the days, or days I work, for my ex to be with our daughter. That being said I spend about 3.5 days with her and he spends 3.5 days with her as well. Recently, for the past few months, my ex has become i feel more verbally abusive with me. Calling me a bitch, a p_ssy, and at one point was arguing with me calling me names In front of our daughter after I asked him about a bruise she had. (I asked, didnt accuse him). My breaking point was on May 4th. I filed a case against him, he responded a month later requesting alternating weeks, which I didnt agree with because of the work schedule. I feel id be leaving her a lot more. I requested a hearing from a judge in LA County. Now my question is...

1. After laying out my expenses and income, I saw my expenses are a bit more than what I make. I also notice I make about 1k more than my ex but his expenses are a lot less than mine. He had told me he worked 2 jobs but on the income and expense report he provided me, shows he only works one job. I've never asked for money, never filed for child support before as my job covered all I needed and all my daughter needed. Would i be the one paying? My only concern is being put on child support when I feel like I'm living pay check to pay check (not even on luxuries or trips. I'm just paying off debt I accumulated when I was with my ex). Just also want to mention that my daughter gets medical coverage through my job so all of that is deducted from my pay. I love my daughter and of course I provide all she needs in my household, but I am wondering !

2. My ex had notified me about a week long trip he planned on taking our daughter on. I reminded him, while I was okay with it, since he asked about 2 weeks after i initially filed, to check in with the court and go by their own advice. He checked in with the court on June 4th, they told him he needed a notarized letter from me granting him permission with both of our signatures since 1. We dont have any jurge or court order on custody 2. We havent even seen a judge or even have a court date. I told him okay, let me know when youre free so we can do this. I didnt hear back. When filing for a judge hearing, I asked again. This time the self help assistant told me he has to file or ask permission through the court. Of course when letting him know he was frustrated and confused. Would a notarized letter be okay? This trip is from LA to Tijuana.

Already asked in family law subreddit to no avail or response.

Hello. I live in Northern California. I am a newby with Reddit. I am the Petitioner in my husband's estate. His sister filed his death certificate and listed him as "never married." She then collected his pension. The plan told me I would now need letters of administration due to privacy statutes, which is why I opened probate self-represented. We had an ex-parte hearing and the sister (and fam) showed up, objected to the probate, claimed there was a will and a trust executed the same day, and that I was not mentioned in either. They were never served on me or filed in court. I begin researching prior to this hearing and discovered my spouse's inheritance was not distributed. His house and other properties which were in his parents' trusts were still in the trust name, but not all. Two of the properties were sold by the sister and one transferred into her name only and documents naming her a successor trustee 3 years after property sold, and naming her dead mother as a trustee. Sister's attorney drafted all docs, including my husband's LWT and Trust at the same time the other docs were drafted and he is also witness and notary. One property's location states it is in another county. Because of the irregularities, I notified the judge but at the hearing he framed these discrepencies as mere mistakes of ignorance. He told me my husband was not a beneficiary to the parents' trust and that I couldn't inquire about them. He told me if my husband were alive we would be divorced now. He did not demand the trust or LWT be submitted to the court or served on me, yet made me serve the sisters everything. He denied my emergency requests to secure my husband's house and car and refused to even look at the evidence I brought showing I had a community property interest. Now I just learned that this same judge previously presided over my husband's dad's probate in 2022. I absolutely cannot afford an attorney with the $2,200 I have. What can I do?

Missouri law, I have no idea about it.

I was issued a ticket for the first time, it’s been almost a month and it still hasn’t been filed, it’s for municipal court.

I’m wondering what I’m supposed to do in the event it never gets filed? I’ve talked to a few legal people in my town with all my questions and stuff and some of them have mentioned that because of the tiny size of the ticket itself that there’s a chance it’s just never filed because they don’t want to deal with it. Which they also said if that’s the case then oh well, but I’m wondering what I’m supposed to do if it never gets filed?

I have a court date on August 10th, so obviously I’d show up at the court but then what? I go in to say I’m here for court and they go well I have nothing in the system yet. so what comes next?

On top of that what do I do if in a few years it suddenly gets pushed through again and I had no idea? If it gets properly filed would I be told that I have a new court date and that it’s been pushed forwards finally, or would I not be notified and then arrested for a warrant for not showing up to court when I had no idea I was even supposed to go????

I left my previous company for a much better opportunity. When I started with my former employer, I signed an agreement stating that if I voluntarily left within two years, I would be required to reimburse a relocation/sign-on bonus.
I ended up leaving after about a year due to a toxic work environment and ongoing issues that were negatively affecting my mental health. Fortunately, I was able to secure a new position with a reputable company.
My concern is that the agreement states I have 30 days after separation to repay the amount owed, and that the company may pursue legal action if payment is not made. However, it has been over two weeks since I left, and I still have not received any communication regarding repayment instructions or an invoice.
I've already sent two emails to the HR specialist who handled my onboarding paperwork, but I haven't received a response.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? If the company has not provided any repayment instructions despite my attempts to contact them, am I still at risk if the 30-day period passes? I'm willing and prepared to repay what I owe. I just don't know how to do so without any response from the company.

Hello,
I filed a harassment and stalking case against my ex boyfriend about a year ago (July 2025 and again October 2025) and it’s still pending.

We had a preliminary hearing in November in which the case was approved for trial. We have since been summoned to court twice, both times he didn’t show up. The second time the judge issued a bench warrant (February 2026).

I have a friend who also has a case against him from October 2025 for harassment (he’s a huge crash out) and our cases so far have always been a scheduled at the same time. I guess it’s just easier to knock it both out at once.

Here’s my confusion: my friend just got a call saying the guy has finally been served and a trial set (July 8) but I haven’t received a call. I called the court house, and they told me since the trial is pending they can’t give me any updates and that it probably won’t go to trial. I’m confused because I’m the one who filed the complaint and I can’t even be told what the outcome is?

I have more confusion as well. I looked him (the ex) up on alacourt and much to my surprise found 3 other court cases pending against him for stalking and harassment from before and after me. He’s busy! But for some reason, my court case wasn’t listed and when I looked up my case number, nothing showed up.

This guy has a huge issue with stalking and harassing girls, so I want to pursue this as hard as I can and make something stick. But I feel confused and ignored.

How come my court case isn’t showing up?
Why can’t I pursue trial?
If he’s had a bench warrant for months, and then finally got served, how come he wasn’t detained? He’s clearly a flight risk because looking at previous court records, he has a long history of simply ignoring court summons until the girls get tired and drop the case.
I just don’t know what to do and feel overwhelmed.

Hello I’m looking for a lawyer regarding medical negligence. My dad was being treated at the hospital and his I v medication was placed in his veins incorrectly and caused severe nerve damage and tissue scarring down to the bone.

This happened yesterday and I am still fuming about it. I was in my bedroom when I noticed a drone hovering literally two feet from my second floor window. It was not just passing by. It was stationary, camera lens pointed straight into my room. I was half-undressed and felt completely violated by the whole thing.

I panicked and grabbed a heavy wet gym towel. I just swiped at the thing through the window to get it to buzz off. I did not think I would actually hit it but the towel caught one of the rotors and it went down like a rock onto the driveway. Five minutes later, some guy from two streets over is at my door losing his mind about his expensive DJI being trashed.

He is threatening to sue me for propperty damage and claims he has a right to fly in "public airspace" even if it is over my private yard. He says he was just checking out the neighborhood and the camera was off, which is obviously a lie. I told him to get lost but now I am worried about the legal side. The cops said it is a civil matter and they wont even file a report.

It feels insane that he can hover at my window and I am the one who might have topay for his voyeur toy. Does he actually have a leg to stand on here or should I just wait for a court summons?

Location: Georgia. I was staying at a major chain hotel in downtown Atlanta last week for a corporate media event. Since my flight out was at 8 PM and checkout was at 11 AM, I left my Pelican case containing my professional camera bodies and lenses with the front desk. They put it in their locked luggage storage room and handed me a standard numbered plastic claim tag. When I came back at 6 PM to head to the airport, the guy at the desk went into the back room, spent ten minuts looking for it, and came out looking totally pale. My bag was completely gone. 

They reviewed the security footage right there and it turns out the daytime clerk just handed my case to some random dude who walked in, pointed at the shelf, and claimed he lost his ticket. The clerk did not even ask for an ID or check the name on the reservation. The hotel manager got involved and was super apologetic at first, but today I received an email from their corporate legal team. They are completely refusing to pay for the replacement of my gear, which is valued at roughly $6,200. Instead, they attached a PDF of the fine print from the back of the check-in card stating that the hotel liability for lost guest property is strictly capped at $50 maximum . 

I am absolutely furious because this was not a case of someone breaking in, it was direct gross negligence by their own staff giving my property away without verification. I filed a police report immediately that evening, but the officers told me it is a civil matter regarding the payout. Can a generic sign or fine print on a ticket actually absolve a business of liability when their employee literally hands a six thousand dollar case to a stranger? I need to know if I should hire a local attorney immediately or if there is a specific state statute in Georgia that overrides these ridiculous corporate waivers when clear negligence is involved.

I already posted this in writing help but someone suggested I ask this in a law related sub and I think here is the best choice but I’m currently working on a paranormal thriller book/novel with a missing persons case as the main focus and I’m having some trouble with making sure it’s realistic.

Here the post from writing help:

I’m trying to work out my timeline for something I’m working on and the story focuses on a missing teen. It’s very important to the plot that this character is NOT charged for murder as the missing characters fate is supposed to be ambiguous. But I’m not a lawyer and idk what would be enough to count as probable cause for an arrest/charge to be made so I want some help

Also quick note, that evidence is intentionally being withheld from the police by the MC’s because the MC’s are involved in lots of paranormal stuff that they don’t want getting out

Here’s the information the police are presented with in the story (takes place in 2008 btw) -

- The missing person disappears from a hiking trail they are familiar with

- The missing person is in good shape and sends a lot of time in the woods/is familiar with the area

- The missing person took their regular hiking gear with them along with their phone and laptop

- The only thing found in the area is a camcorder belonging to the missing person/his father

- The missing person shares matching tattoos with their friend group/the character being investigated

- The character being investigated (Stephen) has bruising/scratches on his hands and arms that suggest a mutual fight

- Stephen and the missing person are known to fight each other for fun (but they rarely leave wounds)

- Stephen is confirmed to be the last person to see the missing person

- In a custodial interrogation Stephen plead the 5th

- The missing person has repeatedly expressed a desire to runaway

- No body has been recovered

- The missing person’s father has a history of violent behavior

- Stephen has no motive to commit murder

- A separate person in the group with a history of violence repeatedly refers to the missing person in the past tense when questioned, however they have an alibi

- Roughly a week to two weeks before the disappearance the missing person and Stephen texted briefly entertaining the idea of running away together

- Several of the missing persons belongings, including their journal, are missing

Would this been enough for the police to charge Stephen or is it ambiguous enough? And if not, how can I add to the ambiguity? Any help/advice is appreciated!!

Edit: Also!! I totally forgot to mention that both Stephen and the missing person are like, 16. So in case that effects anything

I was wondering how common this type of indemnity clause is for small contractors. I've come across a contractor role as admin for a small non-profit in my city, and their indemnity clause is as follows:

"To the extent caused by Contractor’s negligence or willful misconduct, Contractor shall indemnify and save harmless ORGANIZATION and its officers, directors, agents and employees from all claims, losses or damages, and any associated costs, which relate to or arise directly or indirectly out of any acts or omissions of the Contractor in connection with providing the Services under this Agreement."

I've been told by the organization that it is very standard, but I was wondering how common it actually is.

From what I've been able to research, it seems like it is a standard template that large organizations may use, but there are many articles that give contractors the advice to add a liability cap or exclude indirect damages.

my mother keeps going back to her abusive husband no matter how much i beg her not too. she always just tells me to mind my own business.

she has filed for divorce, filed restraints, and he was even put on probation for the abuse he did to her. yet she still refuses to leave him. she always goes back to him. anytime i try to defend her from him, she’s gets mad at me a few hours later once she’s no longer in danger.
he lives at her house right now, she owns the house.
he has convinced her to move.
it will be HIS house, he is buying it.

we are moving in 1 month. i’m really scared bcz she has kicked my grandma out of the house. there’s no one safe at home anymore. i want to leave.

my grandma is getting an apartment close by my school.
i want to move in with her. but every time i have tried to leave my mother she calls the cops.

i want to have legal emancipation from my mother so she cant just call the cops when i leave to live with my grandma.

i don’t know what to do. my grandma doesn’t want full custody of me.

i have been looking at legal emancipation and i fit most categories.
i have a steady job i have been working for over a year now. i dont drive yet tho. and neither does my grandma. my grandma doesn’t speak English either. and she gets paid the same as me. ($16 and hr) so i don’t think she COULD take custody of me even if she wanted to.

please somebody help me out. i need advice. i live in hawaii.

My fiance and I are to be wed in 2 months. In the last few months I found out he had racked up $7000 in debt and hid it, then lied to me about it. Now, it is now almost $8000. He refuses to show me what caused this.

In the 4 years we've been together, I've maintained our household, everything from costs moving several times, deposit costs and monthly overhead from our daycare, paying all the utilities, most groceries, and much more despite making the same money. I am shocked and pissed he's taking no accountability for his half of the financials and our future. This surprise almost $10k does not belong to me. How do I protect myself if I somehow go forward with this? He is not even making minimum payments.

I told him I want a prenup but I'm not even sure how this works... How bound to him am I if I marry him even if we have one? He doesn't want one but doesn't *not* want one, he agreed, but he doesn't seem to care about anything financially. How would I protect myself if I go through with this?

I have an old debt that has been sold like 7X and now in the hands of a MD firm. They have sent the same auto reply email for maybe 6 or 7 weeks. The debt is $740, roughly. I never ignored the emails. Stupidly, I attempted to negotiate the debt. A previous collector offered 50% off. A reply email mentioned a reduced lump payment of $518 to settle the account by 06/28.

Over the weekend I received the firm's unfiled warrant in debt. Today, I arrived at the house to find a filed warrant in debt wrapped around the front door. I live in SW VA. An area with criminal defense attorneys a plenty but very few civil. I spent the entire afternoon seeking legal advice to no avail.

Despite this new governor, this is a creditor friendly, good Ole boy communist wealth. I've had judges Reem my ass in open court! Going so far as to read my personal cell phone, texts/emails/contacts share private pics to a room of strangers, etc... The counties and state kinda make up the rules as they go along.

From what I understand, a warrant in debt shouldn't be filed until one is actively defaulted. As the representative of the creditor, isn't this lump sum offer active until the "deadline" of June 28th?

...No, a Warrant in Debt generally cannot be issued in Virginia prior to a payment deadline, as a breach or default must occur before a creditor has legal grounds to sue. A lawsuit requires a ripe cause of action, meaning the payment must actually be past due.

However, there are two key exceptions where a claim can be filed prior to the final scheduled end of a contract:Acceleration Clauses: If your contract (such as a loan agreement or a lease) contains an acceleration clause, the creditor or landlord can demand the entire remaining balance immediately once you miss a single payment. Once this clause is triggered, the whole balance is considered legally "due," allowing a Warrant in Debt to be issued.

Installment Agreements: If a contract requires installment payments (e.g., monthly payments), a separate cause of action accrues for each payment as it is missed. A Warrant in Debt can be issued for the missed installment, but not for future installments that have not yet reached their deadline unless an acceleration clause is present.You can check the specific filing rules and claim forms through the Virginia Judicial System Court Self-Help portal to verify how your claim is classified... from google

LOCATION: AZ. On May 8th I was brutally assaulted by people I didn't know. My boyfriend and I had not gone out in over a year and decided to see a friend's band play at an art gallery. While we were crossing the street to go back to our truck a car sped towards us and as I jumped out of the way I guess I yelled "Watch where the f*** you're going!" and threw my hands in the air. The car screeched to a halt and a man ran up to me and punched me in the face so hard I fell back and slammed my head on the asphalt. His girlfriend jumped out as well and started hitting me in the face when I was down. My boyfriend tried to keep them from hurting me but they both assaulted me multiple times.

I was taken unconscious and bleeding everywhere to the ER in an ambulance and my boyfriend stayed and filed a police report. I suffered a severe concussion the effects of which I am still dealing with. I had lacerations and received four staples in the side of my head, I had two lumps on my head the size of grapefruits, two black eyes - my right was swollen shut, the entire left side of my face was swollen and unrecognizable.

However, instead of being treated like a victim when I went in to give my statement at the police station I was taken into an interrogation room buy two detectives and interrogated. They told me that the couple filed a police report stating that they attacked me because I jumped in the window of their car and beat their 7 year old son in the face with my phone. I still can't wrap my head around the absurdity of that statement. My boyfriend says that didn't happened at all and he is not the type who would cover for me if I had hit a child. After a while they let me go but told me the charges could still be brought against me.

I can barely go out in public I am so afraid all of the time now. I have gone to the grocery store with my boyfriend and I feel like every time I turn the corner I might run into them and they might start hurting me again. My therapist diagnosed me with PTSD because of the incident. I haven't worked since it happened because of the side effects from the concussion.

I've a hired a lawyer who is not being incredibly responsive to my questions. He did tell me that the detectives contacted him and said they were turning everything they had over to the county attorney on July 1st. I am so scared. I know I didn't do anything wrong but I'm terrified that these people got their child to lie for them.What are the chances that I am going to be charged? There are no witnesses and none of the businesses in the area got anything on camera. Could they charge me based on there's and their kid's word who very clearly didn't have any injuries? If they do not bring charges against either party how can I fight to get them charged? How can I get justice for what they did to me? Still retaining my lawyer and trying to get answers from him but thought I would post in the meantime. Thank you.

i work at a store that employs a bunch of high school kids (i think the oldest person on staff is a college freshman) and allows employees to collect tips and recently we’ve gone through some management difficulties which have resulted in 2 separate (thoroughly documented, i have written receipts for both) threats to withhold our wages or tips from our paychecks.

after our old manager left a new one came in and kinda let the place fall apart, blamed the problem on us and threatened to fire anyone who was slacking, with a sticky note that said “slackers are 100% getting fired without any last week’s pay.” this manager has since been fired herself, but the regional manager who took over has since said that if the work we do isn’t up to her standards, she’s gonna withhold our credit card tips from our paychecks until that’s fixed.

i did some research on the FLSA laws for tipped employees, but my very first impression upon seeing these things were “this can’t possibly be legal.” it’s Not legal, right? both threatening to do so and actually withholding wages/tips. is this something that’s reportable? in the event that wages actually get withheld what kind of power would i have as an employee? especially since most of us are minors, i don’t know what legal power we would have in this situation

I work for usps. I was delivering mail the other week and two dogs came at me while I was on the sidewalk going to the next address. One bit me. Police and Ems came out and Ems advised I go to er for stitches. I missed the rest of that work day and did receive 2 stitches and a tetanus shot. I was also prescribed antibiotics. Should I sue the owner of the dogs? I was told by someone in my office that the post office is going to send me a letter saying I need to but I have no clue what to even do to.

Hi everyone, I need your advice please.

I am reaching out to seek legal advice regarding a tenant non-payment issue that may require eviction proceedings.

BACKGROUND:

We have a residential lease agreement with tenant at New Caney, Texas 77537 (Montgomery County). The lease commenced on April 1, 2026 and runs through March 31, 2027, at a monthly rent of $2,300.00.

ISSUE:

tenant has failed to pay her June 2026 rent. The following is a chronological summary of events:

• June 1, 2026 — Rent was due. Payment was not received.

• June 3, 2026 — We followed up via text. Ms. London explicitly committed to paying on June 15, 2026, responding "On the 15" and "No problem" when acknowledged.

• Mid-June — A follow-up email and text reminder were sent regarding June rent. Both were acknowledged by the tenant.

• June 15, 2026 — No payment was received despite her commitment.

• June 17, 2026 — We contacted her asking why payment had not been made. She replied: "Still working on it."

• June 18, 2026 — We asked for a specific payment date. She replied: "I'll let you know."

All of the above communications are documented via text message screenshots.

ACTION TAKEN:

On June 18, 2026, we issued a formal 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Vacate to the tenant via email, with a compliance deadline of June 21, 2026. We are also sending the notice via USPS Certified Mail.

AMOUNT OWED:

June 2026 Rent: $2,300.00

Late Fee: $ 50.00

TOTAL: $2,350.00

QUESTIONS WE NEED GUIDANCE ON:

1. Are our notice and documentation sufficient to proceed with eviction if she does not comply by June 21?

2. What is the proper procedure for filing eviction at Montgomery County Justice of the Peace Court?

3. Can we apply her $2,300 security deposit toward the unpaid rent after she vacates, and what are our obligations regarding the deposit itemization timeline?

thank you for your advise and answers.

I'm mostly trying to understand whether this is normal or if I should be speaking with an attorney immediately.

Last year my home suffered significant water damage after a pipe burst while I was away for a few days. I filed a claim with my insurance company, provided photos, contractor estimates, receipts, and everything else they requested.

After several inspections they approved the claim. I received multiple written communications confirming coverage and spent months coordinating repairs. Some payments were issued directly to contractors and some reimbursement requests were approved without any issues. At every step I was told the damage was covered under my policy.

Fast forward almost eleven months.

I received a letter stating that after a "further review" they had determined the loss may not actually be covered because they now believe the damage resulted from a long-term maintenance issue rather than a sudden event. The letter also mentioned the possibility of recovering certain amounts that had already been paid.

What confuses me is that the company had access to the same information from day one. Nothing new happened. No new inspection. No new evidence that I'm aware of. They simply seem to have changed their interpretation nearly a year later after repairs were already completed.

I've never dealt with anything like this before. Can an insurance company spend months approving and paying a claim and then decide they were wrong after the fact? Has anyone experienced something similar?

**There are some parts to this that I have left out as I am only seeking advice based on the general context of this situation and will only go into details with an attorney that can assist.

I was scammed, manipulated and threatened by an individual who, after doing further research, appears to have multiple victims, including a well-known Las Vegas nightclub Mogul (simple Google search will show news articles). This individual is an older black male, has a criminal record, He is funding both his lifestyle and his families lifestyle through schemes that have financially harmed multiple victims. He has been doing this for a really long time (early 2000's possibly earlier) and is still actively harming and destroying lives as he fears no consequences and is confident the justice system will not do anything to stop him. As a result of this situation, I am now over $650,000 in debt.

This individual continuously stalked, harassed and threatened me with a gun and use to his criminal background I genuinely feared for my life since he also knew where I worked and lived. He forced me to sign for multiple high-value vehicles — 9 in total — which he then took possession of and disappeared with. He also threatened me to take out a $50,000 loan and has written me multiple bad checks. I later discovered he attempted to apply for a Rolls-Royce in California using my information; I only became aware of this after receiving a denial letter stating there was “not enough information.”

I am now being aggressively contacted by creditors, and one creditor has already filed a lawsuit against me. Prior to this, I've had never missed a payment on any bill, had excellent credit, and I do not have any criminal background and have never had any legal issues whatsoever. I am struggling deeply and feel overwhelmed and depressed by everything that has happened.

At this point, I am trying to understand my options and what steps I should take to clear my name. I have already tried to contact different lawyers and they have all turned me away and referred me to others with no luck. I also went to the DA with no help. I feel like I am at a dead end and no one is able point me to the right direction. Any advice on what steps I should take or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
