filing for Bankruptcy in California

[Centinall]

does anyone know how one qualifies for personal Bankruptcy in California? I'm sure that not just anyone can go out and qualify for it. Your debts probably have to out weigh your income or something.

My friend and I just took someone to small claims and won $700 and $2000 respectively. Now upon threatening to claim that money, the defendent has warned us that he'll probably have to file for Bankruptcy even though we're not going to collect all at once (probably garnish wages over several months period).

Anyone have an advice on this?

Cheers in advance.

LoL over $2700??

I'd let the guy ruin himself. It'd be amusing.

Really not much you can do about it. A judge will decide the bankruptcy issue and your friend may be out the money.

it would probably be the most expensive amusement i'd ever have

Winning a judgment is one thing, collecting is entirely another. If I really didn't want to pay a civil judgment, they'd never see a penny of it.

Why are you such a flaming moron all the time? You're such a dumbass I can't even put it into words; who the hell knows why you haven't been banned yet for your stupid remarks like the above that you continually feel the need to post. Get off the forums if you feel that everyone here is so stupid.

Not everyone. Just lazy people who go looking for information in the obviously wrong places.

No sh|t.

Nobody said anything about a high horse. AT isn't the place for sound legal advice. Neither is it the place for girlfriend advice, where to find a hard-to-find boombox, etc. and many people are tired of it. I just voice it openly.

Obviously people are interested, since they enter the thread and post. What would you like, everyone posting their online gaming screenshots and their roomate problem topics?

And that's why you posted again in this thread, isn't it.

Wouldn't know sarcasm if it kicked you in the teeth, would you.

Hahaha, this thread has been successfully hijacked.

jesus.

I just wanted to know if anyone knew anything about filing for Bankruptcy. I'm sure someone has had some experience with it. I didn't realize that it was the wrong topic for an off topic forum. But it sure got off topic.

Thanks for the help from those that were serious.

Sorry guy... the night crew is a bit ... perhaps bumping this thread in the morning will get you more sane responses.

Bankruptcy may not be a way out for him/her. In some states monies owed for civil penalties, or from a judgement, can not be discharged by a bankruptcy. Consequently, a bankruptcy may not erase the debt owed to you. Call a lawyer and find out. You may be able to have a lien placed on his/her property if they have any, or have thier wages garnished.
