What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Fairfield, CA
My dad just received a writ of execution from a sheriff office. Seems that a judgement was made against him in court for the Plaintiff. debt collector. for over $20,000. He just started living w/ me like 3 years ago and before that he lived w/ my brother because he's on SSI. He's never taken out a loan nor does he qualify for any loans of that amount since he's been on SSI and only gets $800 per month. He's never even received the court summons. In any case what's done is done and now there is a Writ of execution. He has no assets since he's been on SSI for 20 + years and the last 3 years he's been battling Cancer. He can barely speak English so I am trying to help him out w/ this problem. I've scheduled a consultation w/ a bankruptcy attorney in 3 days. Not sure what else to do. I've tried contacting other law firms but everyone of them wants to schedule an appointment 3 days from now and this Writ was received a week ago.
At this point is bankruptcy the only option? my dad is over 70 and has been on SSI disability so not sure what else to do. I just don't want the sheriff showing up and upsetting him further. What is the quickies way to resolve this?
Any Advice would be helpful.
Thanks!
