    Debt Charge Off - In Collections Now

    Been there SOL should start from the date when you fell delequent. If you make any payments then you'll just be re-starting the 4yrs for the SOL. Both the original creditor and the scum sucking collection agency can report the debt. I personally would tell them I will sue them for violating...

    workmans comp injury than no insurance

    2 small children and fired while on W/C

    Same thing happened to me !! I can't find a lawyer to take my case. If you do find a lawyer let me know. By law they are not suppose to fire you but they always find a loop hole. The fact that we live in Texas (employment at will state) I'm sure that doesn't help. If you were just released...

    FMLA and Workmans comp run concurrent?

    From my own experience it's one or the other. That's like being on Work Comp and short/long term disability at the same time. Work comp takes precedent over FMLA. One has nothing to do with the other.

    Impairment Rating

    speaking from experience The impairment rating is based on the body as a whole. Receiving a 5% is just saying that is how much you are impaired based on your entire body due to that specific injury. You have to be almost paralyzed to get a high rating or have loss of limb. It is a specific...

    How do I handle a collection agency trying to collect a fraudulent debt?

    I've never heard of a collection agency having documents that only the original creditor should have. That sounds suspect.
