I have a MacBook Pro, 2.33 GHz Cure 2 Duo, running OS 10.6.2. I have in my hands a factory-sealed copy of the Mac version of Fallout 2. I'd like to play it.
A judgment creditor has options for collecting the debt that other creditors don't have. These include wage garnishment orders and even seizing your property. However, once you file for either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, creditors named in the petition must stop all collection efforts. Once a judge signs the discharge order, the process is complete and you no longer have any legal responsibility to any discharged debt, including a covered civil judgment.
The Court will, so far as reasonably possible, ensure that all civil cases, other than family law cases, are brought to trial or final disposition in conformity with the following time standards: a. Civil jury cases--within 18 months from appearance date. b. Civil non-jury cases--within 12 months from appearance date.
