What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I have been server with a summons and printed out the forms for the Answer to the UD.
I have cancer and am going to start chemo soon. My income is low and I am on Medi-Cal due to this and my end-stage arthritis of both hips.
This is why I am behind on rent. I am also going to file for Chapter 7 but don't have time/money to get it done before the 5 day answer period is up.
Should I list a pending BK on the Answer only or also state my health problems ? The Answer also gets mailed to the landlord so isn't listing all these things going to give their lawyer a heads-up on what I plan to do ?
Isn't the first court date when I should ask for more time to get letters from my Doctors and tell the Judge I need time to file a BK ?
A friend of mine also had health issues and filed a Chapter 7 and stayed in her place for 6 months !
I need time to get things together...please help !
