What Are The Exemptions For Bankruptcy In Florida?

In a Chapter 7 case, in order to obtain the benefit of the discharge, meaning the wiping out of the debt, the tradeoff that the federal government has set is that a consumer is limited on the amount of assets they can keep. The exemptions are the list of property that comes from state and federal law, which says which things you are allowed to keep. In Florida, the abbreviated list includes your homestead or primary residence, a certain allowance of personal property, which includes basic household goods, a limited allowance of vehicle equity, retirement funds, and some other assets. In cases outside of Chapter 7, such as Chapter 13, you are allowed to keep all of your assets, but the exemptions may affect your monthly repayment plan.

What Kind Of Harassment Would Warrant Suing The Telemarketing Company?

What kind of harassment would warrant suing the telemarketing company? Attorney Michael Ziegler explains it. If someone is being called several times a day, it may warrant a TCPA or telephone consumer protection act claim.

This law prohibits a company from using an automatic telephone dialing system to call a consumer on their cell phone if that consumer has not given the company permission to do so. This also applies to consumers who have discontinued their permission to receive those calls, which we call revoked consent.

A lot of times the calls are in very close proximity to one another and may come from different phone numbers, even though they are originating from the same company. More often than not, the folks that receive these calls have debts that they are behind on paying.

The companies who make these calls often are intentionally trying to encourage an emotional or frustrated response from the consumer to get their attention.
